Kiriyan's retirement

[winter]

Oh, I did not expect this.

All the speculation was about Yuuhi or Chie. I didn't expect this, not bright Kiriyan and all her artistry. Not Kiriyan-gumi, because I know she'lll be taking a lot of them with her - my Morie, most probably, maybe Marimo, who knows what others as well.

And then I realise she had a good two years, with some perfect shows, and two young successors in line to the top star throne. She's done what she came to do, and I have the feeling she's retiring on her own terms.

It still hits me hard. For all that I like all current top stars, she had this ineffable quality that meant just seeing her smile would make my day.

Kiriyan ♥ I'll miss your light ♥

Different, but also good, I think. There is something about troupe spirit that survives.

But dammit, I wanted Kiriyan's sayonara to be a girl-boy role so that Morie could manhandle her again ;)

I remember that plan of yours, yes. ... oh well, maybe there's a chance of that in the revue?

Not the kind of show I wanted for her sayonara, though (not that I wanted her sayonara any time soon)

I think we're on the same page there :( Zuka can do dodgy shows well, but that doesn't change the fact they are dodgy.
