【Star Sign】 "Self Introduction" Shiratori Kazuki (CV: Furukawa Makoto) ver.

【Star Sign】 ”Self Introduction” Shiratori Kazuki (CV: Furukawa Makoto) ver.

Kazuki: Hello, I'm Kazuki Shiratori. Um, what else should I say?

Ritsu: Don't ask that after you've started.

Yosuke: Yeah, yeah, greetings from the super famous person who usually doesn't need self-introductions. Well done.

Souta: Yosuke, don't say that!!

Minato: Wow, I thought you'd say something more sparkling.

Kazuki: Well.. I'm good at that kind of acting, but...

Rui: In Kazuki-kun's case, you're the kind of actor who needs the right material, otherwise, it doesn't work out, I think.

Souta: Especially when it comes to roles from the original source material, the accuracy is incredible.

Kazuki: Haha, thank you. So, Ritsu, what do you think?

Ritsu: About what?

Kazuki: What do you think of me?

Yosuke: Ugh, gross!

Souta: Yosuke!!

Ritsu: I won't deny your acting skill, but in Kazuki's case, you’re not particularly good at acting, and it's more accurate to say that you don’t have anything else you're good at beside acting.

Kazuki: Huh? Nothing? Really? Nothing at all?

Ritsu: So, tell us specifically what you're good at.

Kazuki: Uh, well, um...

Souta: Umm.. sometimes you don't even know what you're good at or what you like!

Yosuke: Come on, there are plenty of things you're good at. Like breaking stuff, breaking electronics, endlessly cluttering your room, and your cooking taste horrible.

Souta: That’s you're just insulting him!

Yosuke: No, I'm praising him! Normal people can't even come close to imitating him.

Minato: It's like he allocated all of his stats into his acting talent.

Rui: Haha, as long as he doesn't even enter the kitchen…

Kazuki: Um…. sorry for the mess.

"Over the Rainbow", from Come Back! Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Last Epic (2011). Performed by Gosei Red/Arata (Chiba Yudai), Gosei Pink/Eri (Sato Rika), Gosei Black/Agri (Hamao Kyosuke), Gosei Yellow/Moune (Niwa Mikiho), and Gosei Blue/Hyde (Ono Kento).

[vyragosa]

alva used in tournament well this year, generally considered a really good character : gameplay + literally so much self-shipper that their complaints are even listened to (so basically dream-man status) + yaoi tax making him win deduction star and even have people fight against bot-voters/people voting reactionary out of spite/cooking up rumors that alva's fans are terrible people/ full CAT-FIGHT mode OVER THIS MAN, haters and lovers alike

so basically,

he's your golden boy too right? you will cast a near two meters tall actor for him right? you will put him in a jersey and have him make cute old man jokes right?

right? think you can do that? that would sell, i would buy we all would-

Nakada Hiroki Nakacha no Ma #55 @ Hiroki's GAME Parlor 2024.6.18 Notes [Eng translation]

[Due to NicoNama's services being suspended for the time being, this month's Nakacha was streamed on his gaming channel over at OpenRec instead!]

≫ Intro:

His voice is still raspy (from all the screaming and laughing as Majima I'm assuming)

🎶BGM ↓ 🎙Microphone ↑

He doesn't want to show his face cuz he's got the day off

He says he won't be doing a gaming stream tonight

He's not used to not having the comments pass by on-screen like they do on NicoNama but he'll try to answer our comments to the best of his ability

He tries to enlarge the comments but instead gets rid of them (sasuga)

He apologizes for not being able to stream the day before as planned

He thinks he'll be able to save this broadcast in the archives (it's still there!)

He doesn't read comments on his phone simultaneously when streaming Nakacha but he does when he's at Parlor

He turns his camera on and instantly announces he has a pimple on his cheek

His hair has gotten longer in the last couple of weeks! (The hairdye has faded too)

He doesn't like that the camera quality is as good as it is (then why not change back to streaming on your iPad like before 😭)

The BGM disappeared when he turned his camera on so he's clicking back and forth to get it back, fixes it, but now there's an echo (there's always some type of technical issue lol)

He removes his glasses but quickly realizes he can't see SHIT

This month's drink: Homemade gin soda 700ml

He's only had a few beers recently with some of the LycoReco male cast and action ensemble cast

We've all collectively decided Ono Kento's main scene was the Pants Man scene 🩲

Post-COVID, he thinks female cast members don't go out drinking anymore like the male cast members

One day after rehearsals, he went to Akabane (neighbourhood in northern Tokyo, next to Saitama) by himself and there was this place called Senbero which advertisied food and alcohol for just 1000¥ which he found surprising so he went inside - turns out he had to pay 5000¥ by the end of his meal

He looks like a man who got ripped off

He might have drunk too much (this man istg)

He tries to move the screens around his dual monitors and his mouse keeps making clanking noises on the table

He's remembering that time he forgot to shut off the stream once and had to have upper management remove it for him

He prefers the way the comments go by on NicoNama after all, it's easier for him to read

≫ Lycoris Recoil:

Everyone were really professional

The director Akira-san created a nice atmosphere where you could feel at ease. Hiroki feels like they were good friends and were joking around together every rehearsal

He's bullying Rintaro (affectionately) 🤖

He thinks the Bluray disc will be quite generous with backstage content this time, the cameraman were basically present all the time

After each performance, they had an evaluation meeting for the higawari scenes (he doesn't know if it will be included though; it might be a waste of space, he says)

As for the adlib scene in Robota's room, the director pretty much left it up to Hiroki and Rintaro to do whatever

None of the Guy Hard adlib was part of the script at all

Because they all liked Hiroki's donut adlib (Guy Hard scene) during rehearsals, the director left it up to him too lol He had to step it up each time

He rewatched Die Hard once

He didn't tell Misato (Chisato's actress) his adlib ideas because it wouldn't make them as interesting

He goes on to talk about how he tried to preserve the vividness of reality in his adlib scenes, how each performance is different (compared to if it was to be put in the anime). He thinks the play needed unscripted funny scenes like those as a break from some of the emotionally heavy scenes

He stayed up til 3 in the morning before senshuuraku, creating his own script, to write down the last adlib

Someone in the chat said he did the same thing for DisGOONie's Motherland

However, he couldn't go too meta with his adlibs (apart from senshuuraku) - compared to Yoshi's pantsu scene, that one was allowed to be more meta because it was an imaginary scene lol

Yoshi's pantsu scene wasn't even in the script in the first place!

It's not even Yoshi's scene at this point - it's just a weird old man who likes pantsu lmao

Majima's pantsu are indeed red in the anime but they're (supposedly) black in the preview on YouTube, and because Rintaro was having a hard time with his higawari scenes, they went with that one

Hiroki himself actually didn't want to do the black briefs scene 🩲 He came up with the maid café scene all on his own though (sorry everyone who had to see that) He'd been practicing it ever since rehearsals

That scene was actually so crucial for them as time was precious; they had to time it exactly and finish it in 1 minute and 32 seconds because of the BGM

He's having difficulty with his hair, it get's wavy due to the humidity

Also, his hair dye from last time pretty much disappeared in an instant, it didn't last for more than two weeks

He apologises for using the camera as a mirror

This month's snack: Fried chicken with sweetened vinegar and tartar sauce 🍗 And octopus, broccoli and basil salad 🥦

In the Guy Hard scene, initially Majima and Chisato would just look at each other, go "hmph!" and look away

When he told her she had big eyes, that was just him saying it in the spur of the moment

He was glad the audience seemed to enjoy his off-handed comments at Chisato

They made other comments too like "you've got a tall nose" and "your eyelashes are flimsy"

The pre-show announcement wasn't made by him nor Majima (then who was it?? ww) He isn't sure why they asked him to do it

Within the theatre hall, because of its rules and manners, there are certain words you must use during announcements (such as emergency guidance etc), that's why he didn't say it as Majima

↑ That was the thing he got a message about during last time's Nakacha livestream

He hopes he got a good balance between announcing it as neither Majima nor Nakada

He's flicking around with the aircon he bought himself (brand: Daikin). Since he lives in a rented apartment, it didn't come with the aircon

He's starting to feel the alcohol from just one glass tonight

Whenever he's had a particularly hard performance schedule, it's not the day after the final performance but the day after that when he feels like crashing

He hopes he's given a good performance to those who came to see it for the first time, those who have seen it alot of times, those who have never seen a stage play before, and those who simply like the original work

He thinks he didn't do as much action as Chisato but his moves were quite different in the sense that he had alot of jumping and longer distances to run

It was tough on the body cuz he had to raise his legs alot. He might have told this previously but when he tried kicking for the first time, his muscles were sore all over the next day

He's not used to gun action so that was really difficult for him. Rather than shooting, it's more difficult to look like you're getting shot

There's different types of impact when shooting; rather than pulling or pushing, he's more for gripping and squeezing

He thinks Mari (Fuki's actress) did her shooting impact really beautifully

He apologises to his own muscles for getting hit so many times lol

Majima's bones are probably torn to pieces lol

The first time he got shot, he actually threw up a little

Normally, you would stop the moment you get hit but because of Chisato's rubber bullets, he had to keep going each time

Before he got used to getting shot, he felt like the abnormal titans running

However, he feels like his reactions to getting shot was nothing compared to the action team - they're all pros, after all

He can't decide on his front bangs so he wants to get a headband

Shoutout to Tsukada Tomoki who's an action veteran in the ensemble cast; Hiroki and he met for the first time while on Toumyu Kishou Hongi, they got talking alot together on this stage (he even helped Hiroki out on the Guy Had adlibs)

Chat: "I want to see Hiroki with a sword soon" Him: "Please let the management know. If it's not just coming from me but from all of you, it will probably be decided. So please!"

Majima's whistling was also Hiroki's idea, it wasn't in the script. He was intentionally lowering the last tone to make it more eerie (the whistling was also a reference to Die Hard)

He doesn't remember what they discussed in the after-talk

He didn't mean to stay silent the entire time, he wasn't able to enter the dialogue naturally so he was just awaiting his turn. Then, Kento ended up introducing him

He thought the planking was gonna be a joke (until it wasn't)

He thought he would ruin the vibes if he kept talking for more than 30 minutes

"You gotta be careful with adlibs!" He talked all that time just because he wanted to say that line lol He came up with it the day before, it was for pantsu man's sake

He hasn't thought of any adlibs for Tensura yet

He's off to make another 700ml pint of alcohol 🍺

Aaand he forgets to turn the camera back on for 3 minutes before he notices

He's having his octopus and broccoli salad and reminds us that Majima is not officially affiliated with broccolis ww

He's always liked green as colour and thinks his shirt is cute (brand: TTT MSW, ¥14 300) There were three colours but he chose green 💚

The director of the LycoReco anime told him he wanted to make a Majima spin-off! It would focus on young Majima, Chisato and the Alan children

He wonders if there's any Alan children within Lilybell

He wants to know the story of Majima's parents, he wonders at what age Majima began thinking they way he does

Then again, if they're Alan children, their parents probably aren't in the picture anymore

As a viewer, he's excited to see if LycoReco ever gets a season 2

There's the theory that Yoshi isn't dead after all

He's mulling over the possibility if there were more artificial hearts, and if Yoshi had it put in or not since he still has the scar

He thinks it'd be lame if the heart actually was inside the carrier bag

Suddenly there's a bug in his room and he has to get up to let it out through the window 🤣 And he briefly changes the BGM to last boss music www

≫ Furuba:

He apologizes for not being able to be in Furuba The Final except for a video appearance

He can't think of a time when he's only had a video appearance before (he's had a voice appearance in the Wind Boys musical)

If there's no one there to stop him, his Aya appearance might be 30 minutes long. Yuki might cut him right off though (probably)

Although he's never been in a video appearances, they're always scripted and they're very strict about it so he hopes they won't ask him to improvise

"What's the point of improvising if you've only got one shot?"

Daily adlib video appearances are too much, they're too innovative (that's one way to put it lol) Even if the director Mori tells him it's fine with a smile on his face

He should just be in it already if he's gonna do daily adlib videos

Since it's Aya we're talking about, all of this might be possible because he just wants to bless Yuki

≫ Lycoris Recoil:

Someone in the chat mentions to all LycoReco fans that they can watch Furuba at d-anime Store and DMM TV, and Hiroki tells them they don't have to advertise it 🥺

He's getting frustrated over his hair again; he's got hairpins somewhere but he's not gonna go get them cuz he doesn't want to show his forehead

He seems really happy for the person in the chat who mentions LycoReco was their first irl stage play and they liked his Majima!

The chat asks how it was to perform at G-Rosso, he thinks it was very difficult (due to its height and how steep the steps were), both on stage and backstage, especially in the scene where he had to run at full speed then roll over

He tried searching his indirects (egosa) during the performances but majority turned out to be about Majima Goro from the game, Like a Dragon/Yakuza

He won't say anything else on the matter because he doesn't want to upset fans of the game

He's gotten quite used to how to handle the long coat, he thinks he's good at it

He felt like all air had been punched out of his stomach when he did the last fall

Him stocking the cans were at random each time, but they tried to choose the Gokigen can (imitating the old dairy drink Fukigen) when drinking. For senshuuraku, they absolutely had to choose Gokigen

He apologises for not being able to stream on NicoNama this month but hopes we can spend time together on this platform in the meantime

He thinks it was refreshing to stream on OpenRec like this for once

Congratulations to everyone born in June! 🎉

"We cannot live without you, much like the rainy season!"

No rollcall this month

He hasn't taken a bath in two days, perhaps that's why his hair is the way it is today

"Namaste 🙏"

≫ 2nd part of the stream:

He's feeling fuzzy because of those two drinks yet he goes to make another one

He thought he was gonna be cute and clap his hands on camera, then he looked over and got embarrassed over himself 😭 maji kawachii

He wants us to ask more about LycoReco because at this point he'll absolutely tell us things he shouldn't ww

He feels like the stream is lagging

He starts talking about his Majima wig but gets cut off by his Nanoleafs falling off the wall (he's got a 9 piece set)

He says his computer is paripi (shortened pronunciation of "party people" in Japanese) and sparkly

He wants to show it to us but there are some parts that are quite unsightly so he'll show it some other day

They had Majima's wig remade from scratch for this stage! The amount of hair increased and the silhouette also changed

It was very difficult for him to breathe while wearing Majima's bandages, especially due to his labored breathing from his final battle with Chisato

He wasn't scared to do the last fall, probably because he was in character - he would have been scared if he was himself doing that

He laughs when the chat tells him he fell beautifully

"'The BGM is a bit too loud'? As you wish~"

He wonders what we all think of Majima's fall, how it differs from the original work and what it implies - he says there's no right or wrong, each answer lies within us individually

The chat seems to have enjoyed how he lowered the volume on Robota's phone call

The chat was concerned for Yoshi's ears as well, although Hiroki is more worried about his eyes because of him eating Mintia and blowing his minty breath in Kento's eyes

y'all thought Majima's choice of weapon was a gun but it's actually his breath www Yoshi featuring the mint endurance championships

Hiroki was the one who came up with the marimo adlib for Robota when trying to come up with things that Majima resembled

For senshuuraku, he had already made up his mind that he wanted to do that one ("okaerinasai, goshujin-sama!") even if they repeated it from an earlier performance

He had to hit Robota's head at an angle that the noise would get picked up by the microphone on the inside, yet not hard enough that the mic would fall off (while also being careful not to break it since the head is just a prop 😅)

He's laughing as he shows the screenshot of him hitting Robota that someone sent him

He wants us to look forward to the backstage footage showing nothing but love for his hacker ("mai hakka ai")

They also had Majima likened to a swallow's nest in their drafts for adlibs

While they were thinking of their adlibs, Keigo and Kento were thinking about pantsu adlibs - the boys' dressing room were getting pretty rowdy apparently

He apologises for subjecting us all to his lame adlibs (which he himself found hilarious at the time)

He thinks Rintaro had grown lots as a person since the last stage

There were too many highlights backstage, he doesn't know if/how they're going to include all on the disc later

The chat updates him on all the winner poses Walnut did (Ultraman, Goku's kamehameha, Sailor Moon etc.) The kamehameha pose was for those in the audience in their 30s

He tried saying midori (green) and burokkorii at the same time and ended up with burori (also pronounced as Broly, a character in Dragon Ball) Not to mention Piccolo is also green, but not his hair

Everyone's trying to come up with green things in the chat, he says it's fine if the shape is mushroom-like

Suggestions: Suumo mascot, latok sea grapes, muscat grapes, melon pan, 1/3 of a dango, advocado

He tries to think of the shape but the only thing that comes to mind is a lightbulb

Apparently he had one more idea that he sang about in the wrong key so everyone backstage told him not to do it on stage? (Idk if he's saying 'key' or ki as in tree cuz the chat is mentioning この木なんの木 which seems to be an old song used in commercials which has been used since the 70s?)

Someone mentions Mike from Monsters Inc but he says that would have definitely offended some lol

Back when he did Furuba, there were lots of children in the audience that day and apparently he said a word that sounded like 'unchi' (poop)

Someone mentions Yoda in the chat and he bursts out laughing

If Robota had suddenly said Yoda at him, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to keep his cool

But if it would have been ok to mention Yoda, he might as well have mentioned Shrek too

Someone in the chat writes 誰かが座っているヨーダだ (which can also be read as 誰かが座っているようだ and then gets rid of any copyright *not*) Hiroki compliments their smart move

More NG options: The Mask, Keroro, Toy Story aliens, Grinch, TMNT

He's still going on about trying to picture Robota calling Majima Yoda ww He REALLY wishes he had done that one for the adlib 🤣

He goes on to tell us he doesn't actually know that much about Star Wars; he doesn't really understand the flow or in what order to watch, which is C-3PO or R2D2

Apparently someone told him he resembled C-3PO at one point (he probably did some robot dance moves or something)

He says he's gotten more muscular recently

His muscle training recommendation is planking, he does numerous sets for 2 minutes and then his body is trembling

He says 2 minutes might be too much for girls to handle

Even after 1.5 min he feels like quitting

The chat wants him to do muscle training rooting voice clips 💪

Someone in the chat wants him to say "lose weight, you pig!" (he won't)

He's looking sly over the fact so many seem to want that kind of voice clip

He has no plans of doing Natsu no Jin this summer 🙅‍♂️

He probably won't be doing Aki/Fuyu either due to his schedule

"Please adjust your schedule without trouble. Just prioritise yourself when it comes to your wallet. Valuing yourself the most, that's what's most important to me. That feeling makes me feel happy, or rather, it makes me feel at ease."

He wants to travel somewhere for summer but he won't have the time for it

He tells everyone to be careful now that the cold is going around

He asks if we have any more questions about LycoRico because after today he'll forget all about it lol

For dai senshuuraku curtain call, he intentionally bent the knee when directing the attention towards Chisato and Takina (compared to the other performances where he just gestured with his arm)

Recent 7-11 recommendations: Borscht soup (with a piece of bread)

Although it has meat, it's basically an onion soup

Someone asks him which scene he was the mosts moved by, he can't say for sure a certain scene at the moment but it might be the scene where Takina yells the heart is getting away

Again, it was Hiroki who came up with the idea of mentioning "who's the one to fall off the building" in the Guy Hard scene - he got permission to put it in there

Because the one who fell laughing from the building in Die Hard (?), Majima also laughed when he fell

He thinks finding a balance in today's world is important, and Majima found that in his own sense surely

Even if there's an overflow of good things, that doesn't necessarily cancel out the bad things

(He's going on a bit of a tangent justifying (?) Majima's way of thinking, it's hard to translate - he himself ends it with, "it's difficult")

He just wants to have a serious talk about Majima

"Was it a loss to fall or not?"

(He looks really deep in thought at this point)

That's all for LycoReco 🙌

He's got rehearsals starting again next month!

People are sending him both strawberries and watermelon Yells in the chat

He won't be tweeting tonight; it's no good when he's been drinking

He notices he's been streaming for 3.5 hours at this point

He says he won't be streaming any games today, yet he's still got Placid Plastic Duck Simulator open on the other screen

He totally just bought something in-game (the screen is still cut off)

And he's gone off to the bathroom 🚽

He's got a new pool for the ducks!

It's supposed to be a relaxing game but he can't get his game controller to work so he's stuck using his computer mouse and he keeps hitting it on the table (pls get a mousepad)

He's chewing some ice from his drink and has gotten a bag of Sapporo potato chips that's making alot of noise

His wipe camera is working!

He says BBQ chips are good no matter how old you get

His FENDI earring is hurting his ear now that he's wearing headphones

(His reactions towards the different ducks are adorable but his gaming and excessive clicking is insufferable)

He attempts to yodel the way they do in the game

There's a hot air balloon far away in the distance, he says he wants to go irl but he'd absolutely die from crashing it

He wants to go to the type of lodging that's in the game, but only for two days, then he'd want to go home

He takes a screenshot of the shark duck on screen, then ends the stream after 4 hours 🫶

EVERYONE SHUT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK UP KENTO ONO (HYDE FROM GOSEIGER) IS IN THE PUNKJACK SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!

This is Kento Ono, who played the role of Guard Rider Kazuki Majima. About 13 years ago, I played Gosei Blue in Tensou Sentai Goseiger, and it was my first tokusatsu work in a long time. It was a dream-like time and a valuable experience for someone like me, who came from Sentai, to appear in Kamen Rider. I don't know when the future will come, but I hope that I can return to special effects work, and I would like to devote myself to it. I would be happy if you enjoyed it.

Action Stage 「Helios Rising Heroes」  2

Action Stage 「Helios Rising Heroes」  2 has finally revealed its visual!

Here's the promotion movie.

Story.

Following the 13th generation's entrance ceremony, the new heroes, the rookies Junior and Faith, are assigned to the West Sector.

However, as per the mentor leader Brad's wish the two are put into an unusual team with only one mentor. Furthermore, their mentor, Keith, has no motivation to teach the two newcomers and leaves them to themselves. Junior wants to be transferred because he is dissatisfied with the team's lack of motivation, while Faith doesn't seem to have a care in the world. Instead of improving teamwork, the gap grows wider. Meanwhile, the gear that connect the past and the present begins to move due to an incident caused by Eclipse.

It all started with Lost Zero four years ago. ―With the death of a hero.

 Stereotyped movies and TV series increase prejudice and discrimination

Have you ever traveled to a country and realized that the image you had of those people was completely stereotyped? Well, that happens more often than we think and one of the reasons the wrong ideas of people get into our minds is movies. Although it seems a little odd, the explanation is easier than it looks.

 Reducing a group of people to a one dimensional character is one of the ways movies perpetuate stereotypes. Cinematic stereotypes reflect and shape common prejudices. Perceptions can be influenced by portrayals of Asians as nerdy, black men as dangerous and Latinas as fiery.  In Hollywood history there are lots of examples of racist caricatures, their focus is Black and Asian people. The 1961 Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast at Tiffany's and the bucktoothed Mr. Yunioshi, whose stereotypical “Engrish” accent was intended to mock Japanese people. 

“Racism, in the form of job exclusion and racially stereotyped roles, has defined the Hollywood film industry since its birth in the early 1900s," Since always black people have always been portrayed as villains, bad, poor etc. Asians as laughable caricatures such as Mr. Yunioshi. In addition to everything else, that character is played by the entirely white American actor Mickey Rooney, thus making it an example of yellowface: a non-Asian person impersonating an Asian person.

Even nowadays Asians have been marginalized. "Today, most images of Asians and Asian Americans on screen weren't created by Asians or Asian Americans, but by people who don't know much about them," said Kento Ono, student of media representation at the University of Utah. "This creates a very strange idea of who Asians and Asian Americans are for those who don't know any Asian people. And it also creates a very confused and estranged relationship by Asians and Asian Americans to Hollywood, because they can't fully identify with this bizarre representation of themselves."

Although movies can be a good way of entertainment, it's important to understand that they can influence our perception of the world, potentially causing discrimination. 

To sum up, before judging a culture for what we see on movies and TV series. it's important to remember that you can contribute to the prejudice those people are suffering by believing in a stereotyped side of the story.

Funny you say that to be a part of sentai, they need to know how to dance. I remember some people commenting that Sayo of the Kiramagers (Mio Kudo) wasn’t a good dancer, followed by Shiguru (Atomo Mizuishi) among the Kiramager cast.

I remember someone saying that because the camera doesn’t really focus on both Sayo and Shiguru whenever they dance with the group, its usually either with suit actors dressed as the rangers instead of the actors.

Then again, the latest Kiramager special has both Tametomo and Shiguru dance not in their ranger forms, so IDK if I believe that comment anymore.

Hmm, to be honest I don't think I noticed much if they weren't as good as the other team members, though that is a testament to how hard they had to have worked in that area.

I'm skeptical of Atom's supposed lack of skill though. The man was in TeniMyu for crying out loud. Emphasis on Myu, as in MUSICAL. And TeniMyu is one of the pioneers in the format and was already running for years when he was cast. I don't think you can even get in that without being able to bust a move, let alone graduate without learning to do so.

(Fun fact, he played the same character as Kento Ono, who played his blue ranger senpai Hyde)

Rehearsal

- Staff journal entry dating 28 April 2021, written by Tomonori Kawazu (aka Zuzzu)

Good evening.

Yesterday was the final rehearsal for the Viva La Rock 2021 stage!  

So stoked cause it’ll be a reunion with some of the stage crew whom we hadn’t worked with since the last show of the HEHT tour at Okayama Civic Hall! 

(image taken from Kaze’s app) 

This time, we’ve got a small crew comprising of stage director Ono-chan, sound PA Momi-san and Keisuke-san who’s in charge of sound monitor, Le Manipulator Ishii-chan (who stood in for Hiko-san), lighting specialist Suzuki-san and the Daichi-crew, the professional roadie crew in charge of instrument handling, and last but not least, Dachio (tl: Kento Yamada, director of a bunch of Kaze’s MVs and his concert documentaries and basically Team Kaze's go-to person for anything visual-related, aka Dutch or Dachio). 

However, Elizabeth Miyaji showed up at the studio as well, even if I don’t remember asking him to come.  

Me, confused: Eh? Why are you here? 

‘zabeth: I’m here because Yamada-san asked me. He said, “Everyone’s gonna be there! So you gotta be, too!” 

Wow! This is really heartening to hear! 

Very few things feel better than people showing up without you having to ask! 

Thinking back on it, this was what it was like back when they were shooting Running for Budokan. 

Back then, when I first asked Kento Yamada-san (the guy we like to affectionately call Dachio) to shoot the concert footage of the Budokan show, I remember also asking him something along the lines of, “It’d be really great if you could also shoot some backstage footage as well.” (At this point, we didn’t actually have any real plans to release backstage footage yet.) 

And ‘zabeth, he just showed up at the studio along with Dachio one fine day. 

Come to think of it, ever since I first laid eyes on him, I’ve never seen him without a camera  hanging 'round his neck. 

‘zabeth, does this mean you’ve been snapping shots and filming us all this time even when we weren‘t aware?  

Because it wasn’t just Kaze, whom we expected the footage to be centered on, but there were also countless pictures and footage of the rest of us BTS staff, almost all of which were taken candidly. 

From the endless amount of footage, then came the passionate editing.  

Which eventually led to the documentary itself. 

From ‘zabeth’s positioning and Dachio’s direction, the wonderful piece of work called Running For Budokan was born.  

‘zabeth and Dachio, you guys are awesome! 

Given how frequent I appear in it, though, I think it's best that I explain some things.

In the documentary, what people will see is a loud-mouthed middle-aged man, and a somewhat timid, rather shy and quiet, but pleasant-seeming young man. Just for the record, Kaze isn’t usually as quiet and timid as he comes off in there, no sir. He gets agitated sometimes by certain things and even I, at the grand old age of 46, get told off by him at times! 

But I digress. Under the ever-changing circumstances, we finally came to the stage where we wrapped up rehearsals, with nothing but hope to go on that the show will be able to go on without a hitch. 

Here’s the van loaded with equipment after rehearsal, along with the hopes and prayers of Kaze and his team!

Fujii Kaze’s all packed and ready to impress! 

...just, you know, saying.
