Ah! I did read that comment shortly after I got back from Maine and downloaded the video in time, but I wanted to savour the moment when I watched it. (I'm strange like that . . . I have a tendency to let things sit to treasure their very existence when I'm really excited about or touched by them, such as when I buy a new CD and then wait a day before opening it, though that's really not the best example.) I hadn't realized until this past weekend that I hadn't actually replied to the comment yet. Thank you again very much again. *hug*
The Hunter x Hunter wikipedia article looks much nicer than it did the last time I read it; I think the thing that really irked the last time was the spelling of Kuroro's name (it was spelled like it appears in the Viz translation).
I agree with Kaida Yuki looking 'happier', but from Kimura's interview, I can see it in her, too, though not to the same extent. It'd be fascinating if they had made a DVD of the first musical reprise so we could compare Kaida and Kimura in the same part, I think.
[I think Kimura also filled in for Kurapika during some of the radio dramas they did, but that supposition is based solely from photos I've seen from the recording sessions.]
I can't recall who it was, but someone who wrote a review of the musicals commented that they were surprised by Kaida's lack of stage presence. At the time, I didn't agree with them, but I do think Kimura has a stronger presence. Kaida, however, I consider the better singer.
