Nabbed from Charis :)
1) It's probably a loaded question (even if we all have our preferences and quirks of taste), but what's something that will usually turn you off on a 'sienne?
To be honest, there's no Sienne I particularly dislike. I like a whole lot of them, but there's never been one thing that made me drop 'em like a hot potato. The only exception is Tom, who just plain freaks me out. I can't put my finger on what it is, but yup. Wouldn't make any effort whatsoever to see anything with her in it. (Which is sad, because I can tell she was a great performer. Now, she's plastic)
2) Revue silliness aside, what's your general opinion of otokoyaku in drag?
If they're the right performer for that part, I don't see why not. I imagine it can be hugely frustrating for Musumeyaku to lose out on meaty roles to Otokoyaku, but everyone knows that Otokoyaku are really the eye-catching critters in the Company. That's the novelty - you can see women playing women any time, but Otokoyaku always will get more attention.
That's not to say I don't adore Musumeyaku. All the ladies in the company are so talented, I may be a little green, but really, I started watching for the ladies in drag, and when the ladies in drag are put in non-drag, it amuses me far too much.
3) If you could have kept any one retired actress around longer, who would it have been and why?
Ayami Haya or Kazu Ryouka. I really loved those girls :)
4) In the same vein, if you could have given any actress (retired or unlikely to get it at this point) -- otokoyaku or musumeyaku -- a top spot, who would it be? (Alternatively, who would your top fantasy combi have been/be?)
TAKI! Oh, Taki-san! I would have loved to see her paired with Mariko as top combi of Hoshi, because really, they rocked the Kasbah!
5) What is it you like most about Kacha?
I like that she is so genuinely sweet and good-natured :) Prime example was when she was on one of the shows, getting to be a kindergarten teacher for a day, and was so lovely with the tiny people. She really is just fricking adorable.

Thanks for answering! I'm always curious about how others view things and what draws them to this or that, especially with a fandom of a sort I've never ventured into before. :3
(PS: if there's anything you want to fire back at me for questions, feel free!)
