Ranks and rankings.

[kyanited]

Google is my second best internet friend.

I was looking for the current rankings to see where Hiromi stands compared to her batchmates:

Hana, Tsuki, Yuki, Hoshi, Sora

It doesn't look all that bad at first glance, Morie, Meo and Hiromi are all not ranked yet. But what is the difference between 男役スター (Hiromi) and 若手男役 (Meo & Morie)? Hamako is also designated 男役スター... does that mean that's Hiromi's future? If that's her choice, I can very easily and happily live with that... ^^

I think 'wakate otokoyaku' = rising star, where 'star' = well... star. ^_^; i.e., they're established already. (Which would explain why the latter category includes both the popular older stars and the younger ones that leapfrogged their classmates.) That's a complete guess though.

In general I would second that.
But I have a problem to re-enact why Masao is rising star and Kitarou is a star. That sounds a little weird to me.
