I haven't been speculating much, simply because so many others were but I got to thinking that the main contenders are Eritan and Masaki. Only just now I came to the realisation that they're not the only ones.

After all, Toyoko's show went on sale today. What if they're waiting to see how her sales go before the final choice is made? After all, she's been semi-nibante for years, she's mature, she's capable, and she would definitely be able to support Tsukigumi to allow Masaki a bit more time to learn not to kill herself with exhaustion with every show.

Toyoko would be a lovely Top, I think. We'll see what they come up with, though. I know everyone is starting to get a bit antsy about it, what with the final KiriMari show already running.

(Personally, I would love to see an interim top with Micchan then brought in from Senka, a la Rika and Saeko, but I suspect that won't happen)

In my glee over Hoshigumi's Romeo & Juliette, I have been pondering on the casting. There is one version that I would love to see especially, which includes Teru as Mercutio and Ema Naoki as the Nurse, but I know that isn't likely to happen as long as Ema Naoki has the option of Friar Laurence or the Nurse.

Still, here are my loose predictions:( snipsnip )

But it's all just speculation of course. As always :) I will wait for the casting with great interest, though.

There's been quite a bit of speculation going on about what Kiriyan's Grand Theatre debut will be as Top Star. A lot of people are whispering about The Scarlet Pimpernel.

This may have just been given a little more credence given the fact Frank Wildhorn is going to be in Japan in March 2010, just about when rehearsals for Tsukigumi's show get under way. He is mostly going to be there for a concert/show featuring Aran Kei and Mate Kamaras, previously performed by Ichiro Maki and Uwe Kroeger. However, I do wonder if his main motive is to see another of his shows Zukafied.

It's known that Kiriyan loves Wildhorn shows, and her favourite is Jekyll and Hyde. It's only speculation, but wouldn't be it be awesomesauce to see her do that role? Also, it's a good show for Tsuki at the moment, since it has no set top Musume, so if they still haven't decided, they can test out people against her. Plus, multiple male roles as support.

Thoughts? :)
