[English Subs DL] Banana Fish Stage Play Part 1 & Part 2

Hello, friends~! I come to you this time with English subs for the Banana Fish stage plays~! Thank you to @emerald-trashart for requesting me to do both plays! I had such a blast working on it even though it got a bit overwhelming and heavy at times (because Banana Fish (╥_╥))

The stage play is just so amazing, and beautifully made...! I went into this not knowing what to expect, and I came out of it just mesmerized. If you're familiar with Banana Fish, of course it will be as heavy as its source material, but I think that you would enjoy it! The production did a really great job respecting and staying true to the events of its source, and I think long-time fans would love it ^^

The actors, too...! They were so great at their roles, and gosh the emotions and intensity they portrayed were really convincing. Mizue Kenta and Okamiya Kurumu were so perfect as Ash and Eiji, and their chemistry was just beautiful T^T>

Alright, enough rambling! I'll let the stage play speak for itself! (￣▽￣)

For those who are interested in getting the Blu-rays for themselves, I’ll provide links below~ BD Purchase Links: (From Animate JP) BANANA FISH PART 1 | BANANA FISH PART 2 * Purchase links would require proxy since the BDs are sold-out on CDJapan and were requested through proxy either way. I couldn't find them on Animate International either ^^;

Notes, disclaimers, trigger warnings, and link under the cut, enjoy~! (Long post ahead ^^;)

NOTES:

※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED!

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

Heavy mentions/depictions of drugs/drug abuse, sexual abuse (rape, pedophilia, child prostitution/pornography, among others), mental disorders/illnesses, gun violence, racism, general gang violence, suicide, death.

Above themes are rampant in both stages, so please watch with caution. If you start feeling uncomfortable or anxious, please take a step back and stop watching until you feel better.

For those who want to start watching the anime after getting into it from the stage play, please refer to these guides for trigger warnings: Twitter | IMDb

MISC. NOTES:

From what I remember, the stage play follows the manga more than the anime (since the anime changed some stuff). So if something from the stage was not in the anime, you can check the manga for them ^^

RULES:

[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.

Please DO NOT remove my credits.

Please DO NOT re-translate without permission.

A Japanese fan pointed out that they're suprised with the latest PR photo.

Now the question is, do they look similar?

---

I'm still waiting for them to get casted in the same production in Touken Ranbu musical but they're still not giving it to me. :(( Even the upcoming 9th anniversary, they're still a rotating guest and in different places. :((

i care very much about stage mtc lol:

alan-san is very pretty lol like i wish i could say he’s the prettiest samatoki but that’s also a judgement based on the assumption that samatoki has given us anything under an 11 LOL

but he’s still a gorgeous samatoki lol

asanuma-san is a god tier seiyuu so anyone having to embody samatoki i doubt can capture what asanuma-san does with samatoki’s voice but alan-san’s take isn’t bad i don’t think!!!!!

like when he raps aggressively, it’s really cool lol

stage samatoki is like, the most emotional sad boy samatoki we’ve gotten and alan-san’s face sure does give it just that man just looks so sad sometimes lol

this is less to do with his samatoki and more of himself lol, but during a separate event unaffiliated with hypstage but featured a handful of them, he challenged akira-san to a video game on the basis that because both their names start with the letter 🅰️, they gotta throw down because there can only be one Ace in town and that was so funny he’s a goober lmao

asanuma-san made a very similar joke the year prior to that event and that’s how i know he shared the samatoki braincell LOL

throwback to the samatoki cross talk where he and asanuma-san had to guess what’s samatoki’s default pose on the official website. asanuma-san got it right but alan-san didn’t and upon getting it wrong, he attempted to run out from the venue LOL

mi…………….. mizue kenta sir 🥺🥺🥺

he’s slain many a human with that face of his and i’m not strong enough to fight it either lmao

juto used to have a modicum of coolness in the beginning and has been nerfed significantly over the years lmao but mizue-san’s juto is an old relic from those times lol

like it’s so funny to me both komada-san and mizue-san used to voice juto on a higher register but eventually deepened his voice as their perception of the character changed lol

mizue-san is legendary at video games and i’m not saying juto’s gamer status came from him but—

speaking of arb lol y’all know that one horn-knee bait juto card with the handcuffs????? mizue-san’s juto said hold my beer and showed the true hornee juto bait lol

like what do you mean he gets TWO solos where he tramples on and seduces men?????????????

there’s a scene at the end of track 4 where once that conflict had been resolved, juto quietly walked up beside samatoki, who was brooding to himself, and expressed an ice cold rage towards samatoki for leaving his team behind in that conflict that has stayed with me lol it’s probably the mtc moment i think about most

besides the rep live skit where samatoki gets falsely arrested but wants to stay arrested because rio wants to feed him so juto’s running back and forth confusedly trying to extend samatoki’s sentence LOL

RIO MY MAN IS SUCH A CHARACTER IN THE STAGE LOL

canon rio’s stoicism is surface level actually like stage rio is more along the lines of stern with a very heavy side helping of silly and i like to that it’s the version of rio canon rio thinks he is lol

that doesn’t mean stage rio isn’t cool tho like his rap game is no joke 😭👌

that part in bop2023 where they do a solos relay and as rio’s solo transitions to juto’s he goes, ‘juto, rock that shit’ and i lose my shit tbh LOL especially when you see that pleased smile on juto’s face pls!!!!!

byrnes-san is the brand of wasian that’s good at english and i enjoyed reading reports of rio’s english lessons during mtc’s rep live

and then to come back later in bop2023 hyping the crowd up with english their japanese audience didn’t understand so he scolded them for not studying it came full circle i want to cry—

Musical Touken Ranbu Spring 2023 has a name

We finally have a name for the new stage

花影ゆれる砥水

Hanakage yureru tomizu

I don't have the knowledgeto translate the title but the name of the humans have been revealed :

Mitsuru will be playing Honami Kotoku. In history he is known to be a sword appraiser/inscriptor/ polisher from a pretty well known familly that appraised or inscribed many of our boys

Yasuto Kosuda will be playing toyotomi hideyoshi

and our dear ex-ensemble will be playing a character named Kage

So for now our best and most credible theme is going to be around the worth of a sword !

speaking of swords we have new more complete visuals :

Let's be honnest i am ready to see the stream of the first day on dmm and then in person.

► Hypmic Stage OG Cast Backstage Final Farewell

A new cast will be added to HypSute starting from 2024 [promo vid here](Personally will miss OG cast like hell, they've really grown into their roles)

Thank you dear cast for bringing these characters to life 🙏 [Master Post] for more HypMic Stage Videos

OG cast farewell highlights (below cut!)

Kuko hyping up an imaginary audience, only for Jyushi to respond to it cutely

Sasa & Sama distance issues with camera (they have 1 braincell)

honestly just ✨ SASARA ✨ (I don't believe anyone could play him like Mackey does, I'll miss this cat-coded silly clown so much)

Sasa not telling DT beforehand for synchronisation

Taiyou's Jakurai is so calming

Already miss first Doppo's actor (Miyagi Kodai) for his extreme bows

YASUI AS RAMU YASUI AS RAMU YASUI AS RAMU (he's too adorable, his mannerisms are spot on)

But Gentaro (Sakata's version) we just got you, and we loved your performance!

FP energy is the best, I stand by what I said

Mom Jyuto, Dad Rio, Grumpy Teen Sama combo you will be missed

As much as I love Abe Alan, I love how he plays Sama more His grumpy tsundere + wet pathetic kitty vibes are immaculate, no one's doing it like him

Rio pulled by Sama for going the wrong way - peak soldier

BB BABIES uwu

Ichiro's buildup and soft 'thank you' + that sign 😂 Jiro: "Nii-san...??? Are we doing it in turns?"

Cast laughing at each other's antics for the last time + that final round of applause 😭♥️

Tabikurage Tantei Nikki

A palate cleanser since it's just 4 eps 25 minutes each. It's a Jdrama about a PI, Mackey, who lives out of an old camping van, travelling Japan. One day, he meets a young man, Kenta, who's also travelling without any destination in mind. Neither having anyone in the world, they start travelling and working as PIs together. But there's a really bad guy after Mackey who decides to use Kenta as a leverage...

Funny and touching and sweet. Mackey takes Kenta in on a whim, basically, because Kenta reminds him of his younger brother. They bicker constantly but they also find family in each other. The relief that they aren't alone in the world anymore is honestly almost palpable.

Give it a try if you want to watch something a little different and short, something that won't force you to commit for days or weeks. Done in under two hours, it was a nice change of pace. Also, Mizue Kenta who plays, well, Kenta, is really pretty.

[legthief]

kenta mizue’s performance of jyuto ruins my perception of jyuto being a loser who can’t dance, since kenta mizue is really good at dancing and so by default jyuto is good at dancing too. but it makes sense to me because jyuto being hot and good at rapping and dancing but being absolutely incompetent at functioning like a regular person just makes him funnier

[katchevio]

Introduction ^^

I know I've been putting art up and all for a bit and haven't said much but,

My name's Kat. ^^ I draw an awful lot of HypMic especially D4 and Mad Trigger Crew, and occasionally maybe some Black Butler idk.^^

I'm also into stageplay boys especially Mizue Kenta, Abe Alan, Ryuji Sato, and Goto Dai.

I had an old Tumblr account many years ago, but it's pretty much messed up and confusing so I'm putting all my recent art here so it'll be more organized ^^.

Nice to meet you!^^

Hypnosis Mic -D.R.B.- Rule the Stage (Blade Maiden vs. MAD TRIGGER CREW)

Sypnosis:

After progressing through the preliminary rounds, Blade Maiden is chosen as the representative team for Taitō Division in the D.R.B. Azusa Furukawa, leader of the group, is grateful to her friends and teammates, Fleuret Oshiro and Eldrid Iwasaki, for supporting her in this battle, of which they have no stakes.

One day, before her afternoon lessons begin, one of Azusa's senior students rushes into the dojo revealing that some of the apprentices have been attacked by members of the Katen family of Yokohama. Shocked by this news, Azusa cancels classes for the rest of the day and rushes to the hospital where her students are being cared for. She is relieved that thankfully their injuries are not life-threatening, but they will be unable to practice kendo for a month or so. Upset by this blatant and unprecedented attack, Azusa, along with Fleuret and Eldrid, head for Yokohama to have Samatoki Aohitsugi, leader of the Yokohama Division team, MAD TRIGGER CREW, and second-in-command of the Katen family, explain his actions.

After being allowed entry, Samatoki angrily explains that the attack was retribution, as some of Azusa's students had attacked members of the Katen family days earlier. Shocked by this revelation, Azusa does not believe that her students would do something like this, but Samatoki does not care if she believes him or not, as her men were still injured by her students. Before tensions can increase, Azusa states that she will leave for now in order to find out more about this. However, before leaving, she warns Samatoki that if his words turn out to be false, there will be repercussions for his and his family's actions.

The next day, Azusa asks her students if any of them have been to Yokohama or attacked the Katen family; none of them have. Seeing the sincerity in their faces and voices, the dojo instructor believes them and concludes that Samatoki was lying. However, Fleuret, who had contacted her boyfriend, Rio Mason Busujima, the night before, explains that some figures wielding kendo sticks were seen in Yokohama, a few days prior. This news worries Azusa, and she again questions her students.

A few of them, after working up the courage, reveal to their teacher that, a few days prior, after their afternoon lessons had ended, were making their way home but came across a "figure" who, strangely enough, was holding onto what looked like a Hypnosis Microphone. The students state that the figure held up the microphone and that after that, they couldn't recall what had happened next, as their memories are a blur.

Before Azusa can process this news and meditate on it, she receives a message stating that Blade Maiden will face MAD TRIGGER CREW in the next round of the D.R.B. With little choice, the Taitō Division team prepares to square off against Yokohama. Will the women of Taitō use their mic skills to "cut apart" the Yokohama team? Or will Blade Maiden's swords fail them as MTC shows them the futility of wielding blades in this day and age?

seeing first reactions about the stage and what has me kinda like 👀👀👀

the ameyume is strong in this play (my time has come)

mtc has a much weaker presence in this play compared to fp but their scenes come with impact

like we get a new juto solo that compares to his track 4 number that i only think about a normal amount hahaha

yasui-san’s ramuda portrayal absolutely blows it out of the park

nemu’s presence was Felt in the play and yet we still do not have a stage nemu 😔✊

the audience screaming when certain numbers hit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
