Dragons... Please?

[talisa_ahn]

  <--Ok. Pretty please click on this one? It's really ugly as a hatchling. >.<  Hmm... I'm not sure what to make of it as an adult either.  haha...      

I've been distracted.  Went to see Kanju's butai for the first time last night.  I'm gonna be honest... I don't know how EbiKisu will do.  The play itself sucks.  You can really tell that that thing is OLD.  The music?  Not my thing.  What makes the Kanju one entertaining are the improvised sections and the little things here and there.  They added this part for the three Muro's and it's pretty funny and I suppose it actually has a role in the storyline, but I don't know how it'll be changed for EbiKisu.  I dunno...  Maybe if we knew how much of what Kanju did is actually supposed to be in there and how much Kanju made theirs.  Bethany and I were trying to figure out who will take over which roles and we just couldn't figure it out.  MAYBE Taipi will do Akito's?  And now that I think about it, maybe Kitayama will do Shige's, but it's all really hard to imagine. 

Kikuoka was DAMNED CUTE.  It's nice to have the chance to be reminded once in a while why I liked him so much.

Matori has one, count it, ONE line in the butai.  haha...  Jr. Boys were busy rehearsing for Takki and now I know why Reiya wasn't in Takki... he's actually one of the main characters.  Let's see...  The guards were basically Veteran and for a little bit I saw Ota in the uniform too and laughed cause that was his role last year too.  The prisoners were 7WEST, BAD, BOYS, Reiya, and Senzaki.  Koji comes in later as Hama-chan's kouhai that Hama-chan kinda screws over.  haha...

During Showtime though, Jr. Boys were in practically everything.  Matori's said that Go (Veteran's new song) is his favorite and honestly, I might have been able to tell without him saying it.  He always looks like he's having the time of his life when he's out there dancing, but there was just something more when he was doing this song.  Oh.  And Go has hand motions now.  A little fast, but manageable.  Veteran's outfits had colors and they were different from the ones used in Yokocho's solo con.  Kunta's purple (sorry Rachel), Bun is magenta, Kiku is light pink, Ito is blue, Ryuta is green, and Muro is yellow.

I'll take more notes later, but for now, dragons?  Please?  Thanks!

Wasn't it said in the press con or somewhere that the plays were going to be very different? Like same source material but taking it in different directions. Plus it sounded like EbiKisu really wanted to produce as much as they could. *shrugs* Will just have to wait and see. I'm excited for it no matter what.

They didn't have any stage photos or anything like that, right?

I Hope EbiKisu's play will be good :)

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

That's good, 'cause there's really no other way. Kanju took the comedy route so EbiKisu will take the kakkoii route. If it goes that way, it'll probably be ok although it really makes me wonder just how skeletal the base material was. haha...

No. No stage photos, but there are 80 offshots at the j-store. I'm still hoping for live sets later on. *crosses fingers*

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Me too. As long as they make it their own, they'll be fine.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

I honestly had no idea that the play had such a long history before they were talking about it on the news clips. Failing as a Johnny's fan, I guess. Maybe it's something like PZ is? Like each year is about a group of guys that are putting on a show but beyond that it can be completely different from year to year. Seriously, IDK. What is the basic story for this?

I want stage photos and yet really don't. D: Though I'll have money by September so I guess it would be ok. If they are doing stage photos though, I really hope it's not an only-with-ticket thing. Shop photos would be awesome or live sets you can buy even without a ticket plz.

If Kitayama is Shige's role...;____________________;

Almost started crying when Junta pushes the tire at the end the first time I saw the show.

I read that since Ebikisu have (kind of?) more time they would be allowed to include/write their own songs and if they were approved they'd be featured in it...and well yeah they want to produce as much as possible... because Ebi has a lot of experience there already so...mh...

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it must be. I think that maybe the only base is that there are these prisoners and they try to escape. Maybe one of them dies in their attempt. They change and are better people when they leave. The overall theme seemed to be along the lines of finding something in life to live for.

I want live photosets because those are the only chances I ever get to have Matori photos. But I can easily see them giving EbiKisu photosets even if they don't give 'em to Kanju.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I can see Kitayama in that role.

I don't think I'm as attached to these characters this year.

[sourangel.livejournal.com]

It is a major role but I dunno....I kinda see Tama as that role? TaiP as Akito, Mitsu as Junta, Tama as Shige. Nika could be Hama-chan and Senga Dai-chan. And Yokoo and Miyata are just...there and have no back story, unless they make them have to do something with little Muro's role. Yokoo as Kamiyama? I dunno, it will definitely be interesting to see though.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I wonder who they'll kill in EbiKisu.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I'd really like them to not do that part...
