Morie Posted by yesasia on Mon 21 of Dec, 2009 23:01 GMT-0000 posts: 2 ☆ Hi, I'm a big fan of Aoki Izumi. I have a question - is she nibante of Tsukigumi? She plays Fubuki in "Yukariko" and this is nibante-role. Thanks

She might be sanbante... but it looks like they wanna place Mirio as sanbante. But it's not done yet... I am hoping to see Morie as sanbante! Because I love her a lot too!

The size of the non-top otokoyaku roles in Yume no Ukihashi ran roughly: Kiriya Hiromu - Ryouga Haruhi - Kiryuu Sonoka - Aoki Izumi/Ryuu Masaki/Asumi Rio/Seijou Kaito In Elisabeth: Kiriya Hiromu - Ryuu Masaki - Ryouga Haruhi/Aoki Izumi/Asumi Rio - Kiryuu Sonoka In Last Play: Kiriya Hiromu - Ryuu Masaki - Ryouga Haruhi - Kiryuu Sonoka - Aoki Izumi/Asumi Rio At any rate, barring transfers, it's almost certain that Ryuu Masaki will be the next nibante. Like bwinter pointed out, the reason that Masaki isn't in Yukariko is because she'll be starring in Hamlet at the same time. As for sanbante, again barring transfers, it's a toss-up between Aoki Izumi and Asumi Rio. They've had equally sized roles for the past year, and *shared* a lead role, despite the significant gap in their ages. For what it's worth, Asumi's fanclub is many times the size of Morie's based on iride, so I wouldn't get your hopes up. Sonoka isn't star-tracked, and has a smaller role than either Morie or Mirio in Yukariko, so I think she's pretty negligible when considering the coming rankings.

She's not appearing in Yukariko because she's doing her own show at the time. I guess we won't know until they announce the full cast for Scarlet Pimpernel and who plays Chauvelin, but I think there is a chance that Masaki will be nibante.
