Missed me much :)? It's been a while since I've posted here. I guess I'm having a fandom burnout or something (opps wrong journal LOL). Anyway, I need to bring this up here because I've got a new layout courtesy of wrongpill over at livejournal. Now this brings me to the real post here: what shows are you excited for? My list as follows:

Utsukushiki Shougai/Luna Rossa (this is the show of shows this year. This is the big one since it's a nihonmono and it has Teru, Yuuhi and Sumika in it as well as the wonderful and happy Soragumi family)

How to Succeed Yukigumi revival


The Man from Algiers (mainly because it's based from an older show that Ootori Ran was in and I'm curious to see how much it's going to be changed. The promotional posters plus the flash page on the Kageki's site looks promising)

Ocean's Eleven (definitely on the list because Hoshigumi can do no wrong. They're going to have fun with this show)

The Man in the Iron Mask

Shakunetsu no Kanata -Odysseus-hen to Commodus-hen- (Looks like a hybrid of "Koutei" meets "Akatsuki no Roma" which is why I want to see it and it's a Bow Hall too. Sadly, this won't be released on DVD but instead as a Sky Stage TV exclusive)

OMG My wish came true :)! Osa's "Phantom" is bound for Blu-ray :)! I would love to get it :)

Hey everyone :D! Long time no see :). Hopefully I'll get to the spirit of things but a certain announcement regarding Hanagumi has left me all but ecstatic that there will be another "Phantom" :D! Yay! I've been waiting for this show as long as it's not another "Elisabeth" but wait till 2012 for that one for the reason that the Musical will celebrate it's 20th Anniversary but I wonder what Zuka will do for it's 15th Anniversary of the Zuka production? I suppose there will be another concert but this time with Ichiro, Saeko (Ayaki Nao), or Osa (Haruno Sumire), since Mariko (Asaji Saki) and Zunko (Shizuki Asato) did theirs for the 10th Anniversary (and please let Takane Fubuki play Franz this time :). Since there will be that Zuka Blu-Ray, chances are the Elisabeths will get the Hi-Def treatment for the 15th along with the long out-of-print cast albums in which will get remastered a la "Me and My Girl".

Woah, got myself "Elisabeth-ed" away XD! Now back to "Phantom", I'm happy that Ranju Tomu will play Erik but I wonder for the costumes (I doubt it'll reuse Osa's opening number costume since that was worn by both Ouki Kaname and Sagiri Seina for "Zorro") but I hope for the opening number she'll wear that nice costume Saeko wore during the "Yami ga Hirogaru" dance. She's definitely going to rock as Erik. For merchandise, I hope the 2 DVDs of Osa and Takako's (Wao Youka) "Phantom" will be re-released (maybe for the Blu-Ray *points at my "Elisabeth" merchandise theory).

All and all, with this and "Romeo & Juliette", I'm ready to have Musical fun for the new year :)
