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... ^^

Sorry, I'm a little late responding, but I'm wondering: how reliable is this page? I'm a big musumeyaku fan, so I always pay attention to them. I was surprised to see Hanakage Arisu wasn't listed as one of the "musumeyaku stars" when she's always getting supporting musumeyaku treatment at the daigekijou and bow hall alike.

It made me wonder how official the page was. It wasn't just the guy's own opinion, was it?

Of course this is no official hankyu page and with that it's no official ranking. (I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think they publish the ranking past what they have on their star file pages.)

This page here only lists the top musumeyaku and the second ranked musumeyaku, plus rising otokoyaku stars. Since Arisu is none of the above, she's not listed.
