the future is dim...

it happened so that many of the 90s debutants stayed for long in Zuka, so that many transfers were made to make a former N-bante a new Top Star. well, Kiriya-sama became the Top quite naturally, but think of the others. Oozora was made to go Cosmos, then Ranju was made to go Flower, and that's not the end of the list, me is too lazy to check the others...
now we have a vacant place in Moon.

both Masao and Mirio advanced quite soon to be ni-san-bante, eh? just compare, Kiriya-sama was somewhat of a sanbante in  the year of grace 2004, let me judge from the anniversary competition video. it means 10ken for that moment. Masao became a nibante in 2010 with the 8 or 9ken, is me right? well, me agrees that 8 and 10 are quite close. and there's also a saying that it takes 10 years to become a Top.
can Masao do this having precisely 11 in her stage story, one year more than 'necessary'? oh, she can! in terms of her capacities, the thing which is called 'talant', but which me preferres to call a natural aptitude multiplied by personal efforts.
however, can she do this in terms of equilibrium? that's not quite clear. while Ranju-sama became a Top this year, though she obviously was prepared for this long ago, and she is not going to leave soon, Oozora-sama is really awaited to retire, not by me because me dislikes her, but by many others. after her retirement there will also be an option, who will replace her. me doesn't make a 150% sure statement that something like this will happen, but when we have two positions vacant we can really have transfers, cannot we? me means, if only Kiriya-sama retired it would be natural for nibante to succeed, but the fact that two Tops are about to quit can make the High Zuka Officials think 'what 'bout that and how 'bout this?'
the only thing that makes me sigh with relief is that there are not many siennas currently who seem to be suitable to become the next Top in terms of their ken, though it might matter nothing at all, as we know how surprising can the way of thinking of Zuka's people be. but if we do have a transfer...
this means, we could have a star from another Troupe, who wouldn't know how to work in Moon, who wouldn't feel the same we do, we the lovers of Moon and the members of Moon as well. how would she compliment the others... and how would she come to appreciate the atmosphere of Tsukigumi?
me honourable guests may remember the case of Aono-chan, who is also a transferred sienna, but methinks her to fit the Tsukigumi greatly, as if she was destined to come there once.
would there be an otokoyaku-san as strong and cheerful as the previous Moonies were? would there be as interesting and perky girls to become a Top Musumeyaku?
me comes to the only conclusion. the golden age is ending. me feels it even when looking at photos of the last Zuka school graduates. there are not many faces which seem to be strong and daring, promising to create a really unusual Top that we could remember for ages. mostly they look alike, and no, me is not confusing the make-up and clothers, me speaks of the impression, which really doesn't radiate any special aura.
the next century of Zuka will bring a lot of changes.
the changes are necessary to evolve and to be alive. nothing can exist intact.
changing is the basic principle of the Earth.
'tis me who doesn't want some certain things to chage.
but it doesn't matter at all
