I'm Late To The Party

age: 23 1/2 (will be 24 this August)
country: USA
troupe loyalty: Hanagumi though sometimes I like Yuki, sometimes Sora, sometimes Tsuki and sometimes Hoshi.
favourite musumeyaku top star(s): Nono Sumika, Yumesaki Nene, Ranno Hana
favourite musumeyaku non-top star(s): Yumeka Ami (♥)
favourite musumeyaku OGs: Hanafusa Mari, Sakurano Ayane, Shirahane Yuri, Dan Rei, Hanakage Arisu, Ootsuki Sayu, Maikaze Rira, Hatsukaze Jun, Izumo Aya, Hoshina Yuri, Fuzuki Miyo, Aihara Mika, Mimi Anri, Tsukikage Hitomi, Emi Kurara, Ayano Kanami
favourite leading musumeyaku role(s): Kurotokage in Kurotokage, Carmen from Desire: Jose & Carmen, Marie Antoinette from Berubara, Anna from Appartment Cinema
favourite supporting musumeyaku role(s): Sophie from Elisabeth, Carlotta from Phantom
role you would like to see a Takarazuka musumeyaku take on: If Hankyu decides to mount "Man of La Mancha" on stage, I would love to see a top musumeyaku tackle the role of Aldonza.
favourite golden combi(s): Haruno Sumire and Sakurano Ayane, Wao Youka and Hanafusa Mari, Ayano Kanami and Sena Jun, Emi Kurara and Shibuki Jun, Shirahane Yuri and Mizu Natsuki
favourite musumeyaku revue outfit(s): The red bolero dress Ohana wore in the "Berubara" revue, the black/greenish dress Tonami wore in the "Elisabeth" revue, the champagne dress Ayane wore in "Apartment Cinema" (with a lovely hair to match).
likes: Strong women, Musumeyaku's that are Villainesses like Izumo Aya's "Carlotta", Musumeyaku that are reminiscent of the actresses from the golden age of Hollywood like Hanafusa Mari and Sakurano Ayane for example that mirrored that glamor, musumeyaku's in Nihonmono garb.
pet peeve(s): Like violet_tango, I am afraid of making enemies for saying that I don't like strong roles being watered down to flat characters.
a piece of good advice for Hankyuu: Hopefully, Ami would transfer to Hanagumi because I think that's a good home for her so that one day, she'll be the top musumeyaku of Hanagumi. :)
