I am SO happy that the new stage play is gonna have Kiyoko, Yachi and Saeko in it. I was thinking, if they are doing more stages, they couldn't possibly cut them out of the story. And GOSH I'm so glad they were included. I'm excited to see what they'll bring to Haisute!
I was always curious about how they could continue to cut them out (although other stage shows have done this in the past and found work-arounds), but I’m soooo glad they decided to make the effort to bring them in!!!
I think they were very hesitant about only casting Kiyoko without Yachi because then she would have been the ONLY female actress in the cast, and due to some of the intense gender segregation in the Japanese media industry, I’m sure she might have felt lonely without any other girls to interact with. Backstage it seems like most of the guys share dressing rooms and stuff, and she would’ve been sequestered separately in her own. And for PR reasons, a lot of times they really discourage the actresses from hanging out too much with the actors (even if they do, they can’t tweet/blog about it). I think they deliberately waited until Yachi could also appear beside her.
And now with Yacchan and with Saeko too, I’m sure we’ll get to see a lot of feminine cuteness both on-stage and backstage!
