Several new posters have been showing up in recent days:
Masaka no Change!? with Tani & Eriko.
Elisabeth with Asako and Komu, as well as Mori Keaki.

And though not on the official website yet:
My Fair Lady featuring Taki.

I just watched Action! for the first time and nearly ended up crying with laughter. Ayaka and Mariko's characters are stamdard ones for them to started out with: spoiled rich girl and tough, streetwise badboy musician. And then, they body switch! I don't know what was worse, though - Ayaka having it pointed out to her that she now has boobs, or Mariko's character being informed that she also has something new. :D

It also features (in no particular order) android Siennes, Noru as a Rock DJ whose theme tune is 'Bat out of Hell', gratuitous use of the 'Power Rangers' theme tune (I was sure my ears were deceiving me when that slipped in), and an abundance of random Christmas songs. Oh, and Izumo Aya being amazing as usual :)

I love this show. So much magic Christmas crack :D A review will follow, once I watch the 2nd act :)

I love Izumo Aya. I also love the fact she blogs about everything she does, and in doing so, also posts the most up-to-date photos of herself with her old batchmates, including Asaji Saki, Chiaki Shin & Wasao Risa, which were taken at their latest dinner show. They are also a complete bunch of dorks :D

Summary: During the Bafuku period, Princess Kazu, half-sister of Emperor Koumei, is sent - to her distress - to marry the young Shogun, Iemochi Tokugawa. She is accompanied by Hashimoto Saneyana, a childhood friend of Kazu and the envoy of the Emperor, who is as grieved as she by the decision. It is expected to unite the two houses as the Tokugawa power wanes, but with Iemochi's death, matters change. Hashimoto is reunited with her during the surrender of Edo Castle.

(This is a loose estimate, I'm afraid)
