Sena Jun as Death in 'Elisabeth' (2009).

Yes, we knew it was coming. It doesn’t make things better, though. I’ve had the same feeling when Haruno Sumire retired two years ago.

After Osa, Asako was my favorite Siénne, and that’s why I’m so sad about this announcement. The current top stars are not so thrilling, and I fear it will be like that for a while. I hope they’ll make Kiryan top this time.

I don’t know about the other fans, but I think it’s always sad to see a top depart. When it comes to otokoyaku, they are not only finishing their Zuka carriers, they’re changing their personas, as we know it, forever. It’s always shocking to see your favorite actress wearing a suit one day, and a flowery dress on the next (I guess I’ll never get used to Osa’s and Takako’s long hair! LOL!)

So this is it. I’m kinda sad. Surprising or not, I’ll miss her.

Her last performance will be at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater, on December 27th. Buy your tickets.
