Like everyone else's, my spider sense is tingling about the title and summary of Yuuhi's next Grand Theatre revue - if it showcases her talents as a Nice Guy and is done by Fuji-sensei, I guess the retirement announcement should come mid-A Beautiful Life? A tails-musical in the first half will showcase her style, I hope, and if anyone could do a musical about tailors, it's Ueda Keiko-sensei. And hey, no Masatsuka-S for a final show - I really approve of that.

And Canary means that Eritan's hanging around for 2012 at least ♥

However, OCEAN'S ELEVEN. Can we rename it the SHOW OF CAPSLOCK already and be done with it? ;) Unless Hoshigumi steals someone from Senka, it's going to be Junko-san as Saul, Chie gets Danny of course, and then my dream cast would be Toyoko!Benedict, Tomomin!Rusty, Beni!Linus and Makaze!... Ohdear. Basher, Frank, Virgil? Only Renta would be a fantastic Basher, and if Junko-san's Reuben instead, that opens up Makaze!Saul, which would fit with the RIDICULOUS.

Thanks to arlecchinic, I am now able to indulge my Tomomin love. Lots and lots and lots. Starting with her shinko lead.

No. Wait. SHINKO LEAD.

There. That's better.

That was the main reason I wanted to see the El Halcon shinjinkouen, but now that I've watched it, I recommend it to anyone who likes current Hoshigumi. The display of talent is dazzling. And the adorableness.

( In no particular order, really )

The review's a bit late (though not as late as the Elisabeth one!), so to make up for it, I added pictures :) Life's been crazy since I got back.

This was another show with a plot famous for confusing people. I'm rather proud of myself - with rudimentary Japanese and no knowledge of the original Korean drama, the only part of the plot I wasn't able to follow was the actual Four Gods thing, and that was the one thing I'd read up on before. Overall, this was a gorgeous show - perfect cast, perfect energy, gorgeous visuals and engaging characters. I'll be buying this one on DVD!
