This photo and essay book was written by Moon Troupe Top Star Sena Jun and published during promotions for the 2008 show ME AND MY GIRL, where Top Musumeyaku Ayano Kanami retired. It’s very charming and occasionally emotional.

Some chapters are very short, or contain only pictures, and thus are combined.

The book also featured dual Japanese and English chapter titles, which were not always the same. Where these differ, both are included, with the translation of the Japanese title following in brackets. (For example, Chapter 8 is That time [The era of Asa and Osako])

003. Confession

He has a light complexion and he’s super needy…
…he’s a French Bulldog.

His name is ‘Blanche’.
Blanche means ‘white’ in French.
If it was a Japanese name, he’d be ‘Shiro’…I’m so clever, aren’t I.

But nobody actually calls him Blanche.
It’s always ‘Buu’ or ‘Buu-chan’.
So he doesn’t even react to Blanche.
Is he okay…

Just recently, a Moon Troupe junior actress asked me this.
“Asako-san, why did you name your dog Buu-chan?”
……
Moon Troupe junior actresses: my prince’s name is ‘Blanche’!
