I have recently realized that days without tea are far worse than those with tea. OBVIOUSLY I MUST DRINK AT LEAST ONE CUP PER DAY TO REMAIN ERR...HEALTHY?
Well I know Ishida was getting a few seme roles here and there towards the last few parts of his BL career but as we know he has a naturally soft voice so of course he got cast as ukes a lot. Sakurai and Hoshi suffer from a similar problem in that their voices are for the most part pleasant and gentle (though not as naturally soft as Ishida's is but still not as deep as a regular Japanese man's voice) which of course means for perfect uke material. (Though I do know Sakurai got at least a handful of seme roles as well.) I'm guessing this wasn't the sole reason they all quit but yeah, they did and the fangirls wept over it.
ODDLY ENOUGH THE SEME ACTORS SEEM TO BE PERFECTLY FINE WITH BL CDS AND MOST OF THE OLDER ONES STILL DO IT.
