Samples of congnitive dissonance for the curious, from the first Sakura Taisen Summer Kaiyou Show, starring the all-singing, choreographed voice actresses, performing their show's theme song:
at 0:48 the curtain drops, and, from left to right, Maria, Kohran, Sakura, Sumire, Iris, and Kanna
at 1:20 - a 2-shot of Kumiko Nishihara (Iris) and the even shorter (yet older) Mayumi Tanaka (Kanna)
at 3:44 - a 3-shot of Mayumi Tanaka (Kanna) shoving Michie Tomizawa (Sumire) out of the way while Chisa Yokoyama (Sakura) looks on. Tanaka is considerably shorter than the other two
at 4:11 - Kumiko Nishihara cuts loose with Iris's little girl voice.
(actually, there are quite a few vids from the Kaiyou shows on youtube, and they aren't all that bad for what they are; for sheer silliness I like the encores for the event where Sumire retirement shows)
