There’s a section in Kageki called ‘Words and Pictures’ where one sienne from each troupe is chosen quarterly to write about behind-the-scenes episodes from their troupe. (It’s slightly similar to Troupe Report, but longer and with a fixed turnover.)

Mizu Natsuki was the writer for Cosmos Troupe in the first quarter of 2003. In this installment, she discusses the Setsubun festival tradition of ehoumaki, as well as behind the scenes of Miracle of the Holy Star and rehearsals for Pierre the Mercenary.
