This is a long shot, but I figured I'd ask...

I've always been under the impression that Hatsukaze Jun is Gaichi's aunt. Is this actually correct?

Does anyone happen to know if there is some sort of relation to Minou Yutaka?

(I ask because, while googling for more info on Minou Yutaka to throw in her profile, I came across someone asking a question in a 2ch thread along these lines - not the most reliable source, I know. It was essentially that Minou is Gaichi's aunt and that she was very close friends with Hatsukaze Jun.... hence Gaichi's namesake.)

It then dawned on me that Minou's nickname is "Gaichimino."

I just checked Gaichi's Japanese wikipedia page and it says that her namesake is Hatsukaze Jun, her aunts friend.

I want to see if anyone knows anything for sure before I go changing things on the wiki, considering Wikipedia and a random 2ch thread are hardly the most reliable of sources...

You know, I should really make myself a takawiki-related icon...

I was going to write up a summary/review of "Alas," but I'm feeling tired and lazy right now. Maybe tomorrow?

Instead, have some caps of baby Kiriyan:

( Kut for Kiriyan Kuteness.... and a couple extra babies along with her )

There's also a scene with, well... pretty much everyone dressed as nuns, but I couldn't get any good shots of the babies. A bunch of Zuka nuns confusing Alas (Mami-chan) with Jesus shouldn't be nearly as amusing as it is! (as if seeing nun!Gaichi wasn't amusing enough by itself)。

Eri in the tango club scene <3 She looks so much younger! Same thing with Juri.
Granted it HAS been 10 years....)


Hmm.. other than that... what are some quick reflections...

oh yeah... Anju... I love you. What would show you choreographed a scene in be without a racy dance? Kazahana Mai as the female demon and Mami... rolling on the stage <3

Here, to distract you from the lack of a proper review, have some Rika as the moon goddess (yes, goddess) dancing to Moonlight Sonata.

(Is it my imagination or is that the same dress as Aphrodite's in Takarazuka Maimu?)

(maybe a proper review tomorrow?)

I seriously am becoming a TakaWiki whore. I can't escape it. I'm actually to the point where I need to STOP myself from working on pages, simply because I don't know where else I can scrounge up any time!

Take, for example, East of Eden / Dandyism!. I was sitting here, watching Dandyism!, completely captivated by Rika in a multitude of suits and glimpses of baby Sena and baby Osa and baby Komu (Even though, through some horrible lapse in sanity, I completely forgot that Komu was in Hana before Sora's formation - her first glimpse was completely unexpected!). (Possible screencaps to come tomorrow).

Which made me pause the show...

Which made me visit the TakaWiki page...

Which made me want to work on the page...

However was yet again distracted and resumed my watching, whereupon I was enthralled by otokoyaku dancing a tango together..... and later otokoyaku in "drag" circling Maya Miki - Charlie, Rika, Gaichi, Aika Mire, Chinami Yuu, Iori Naoka, Natsushiro Rei.... All in feathers and heels and.... well, clips most likely to come tomorrow to show you why it's so distracting.
