#Toumyu Song List

[bunathebunny]

ok ok so we’re all very familiar with the opening song of toumyu and usually the first part would go like:

刀剣乱舞　強く　強く

鍛えし　鋼

今　解き放つ　時

刀剣乱舞　高く　高く

誇り　胸に抱きて

この身　朽ち果てるとも 

and then how the next part would be like would be according to the formation a.k.a the boys appearing in the musical. but i have realized that hmm, it is very possible that every sword has like this part written exclusively for them.

like take the sanjo and kashu formation (mikazuki munechika, kogitsunemaru, iwatoshi, ishikirimaru, imanotsurugi, kashu kiyomitsu) for example. also the names are listed according to the lines.

美しきその刃 　 月夜斬り裂き

金色の野生踊れば　ほら 雷鳴とどろく

猛り立つ高貴もの 　 岩をも砕き

撃ち込むは　怒り祈り本能か 　 一振りの風

この刹那　守るために

水辺に咲いた　真紅の薔薇���

ok next let’s look at tsuwamono formation (mikazuki munechika, kogitsunemaru, higekiri, hizamaru, imanotsurugi, iwatoshi). the names are also listed accroding to the lines.

美しきその刃 　 月夜斬り裂き

金色の野生踊れば　ほら 雷鳴とどろく

たはやかに白妙の　鬼神がごとく

墨染の剛毅　渾身一撃　断つはあやかしか

この刹那　守るために 

勇みて行かん　湧き立つ力

so like while mikazuki, kogitsunemaru and imanotsurugi’s lines don’t really change much, iwatoshi’s does.

if we put numbers on the lines, it would be from 1 to 6. and iwatoshi’s line is number 3 in atsushiyama but his line in tsuwamono is number 6.

but both lines are give his vibe, which is why i think that when they’re writing the lyrics for this part, they do take much consideration into the boys’ characteristics so that the lyrics would reflect their characters.

Stuff I Do Now

Since it’s been a while since I’ve properly done anything on Tumblr, I just wanted to make a fast list of all the things I’ve been up to the past 7? years.

It’s swords. I’m really into swords. I think Tumblr missed a majority of my big seiyuu phase back then as well as I had moved to Twitter for all that, but I am now a full time sword enthusiast. Oh but also I became trapped in Butai hell. Never expected this to happen, but what you gonna do.

Some Things I’ve Done During Covid:

Ichigo Hitofuri Bot - Twitter bot that posts pics of Ichi every day. Pls live...

Touken Ranbu Stat List - Helpful tool that automatically lists your personal game stats.

Moving On

Hi! Let’s talk!

Do You Plan to Finish Any of those Wallpapers You Teased Ages Ago?

Sad to report that I Can’t. My computer died back in 2020 and I lost EVERYTHING. If I ever have the inspiration and drive again, tho, I may go back to it. But right now I’m using all my personal free time to draw for myself,,,

SUBTITLE PROJECT LIST

I’m quite frankly not sure how long it’s been since I gave an update, but here we go! Last week(s) have been pretty slow, because I inexplicably gave myself a jet-lag of sorts without travelling. (Or it’s simply the heatwave messing with me.) Anyway, I’m super tired during day time and I have trouble falling asleep at night. So... I’ve had (understandably) trouble focusing.

Musical Saiyuki the Movie -Bullets- *silence*

Toumyu SRS2018 I’m slowly working my way through all the songs. Most translations are done, but not all. I estimate it’ll take me at least 2 more weeks to finish the subtitles, if not more.

Stage Play Patalliro: Stardust! (Collab with @japanesesnowprincess) Just finished checking one of the hardest parts until now. Patalliro insulting other countries... xD It took me a whole to understand all the nonsense he was spouting, because pronunciation isn’t his best quality. And all the beep-ing doesn’t help either. But about 60% is finished now, so... in a few weeks the subtitle should be ready.

Touken Ranbu the Movie I've had some people asking and I’ve been saying it a few times. Yes, I will be subtitling the movie. Fortunately they did give Japanese subtitles. So... timing is ready! I have a full Japanese script! Probably won’t start on the translation till SRS2018 and Patalliro are finished though. So, sit tight!

[riku-in-japan]

DAY 19 TOUMYU

Finally the day this whole trip evolved around had come! The day I was going to see the latest Toumyu performance. Yes, I totally delayed our vacation with a whole month, because I wanted to see this show. xD

The morning though started with a different quest. I was going to find that Toumyu Mihotose 2019 Blu-Ray. Two days earlier I had been at the Animate in Shibuya, but for whatever reason this lovely new release had been nowhere to be found. So, again, I went to that same Animate (because I had to switch trains in Shibuya anyway) and suddenly it was everywhere! Well, not everywhere, but at least I could buy it. And it even came with the bonus bromides. ^^

By that time I started to realize my phone wasn’t sending or receiving any messages and it took only moment to find out google photos has used about 1/3 of my data bundle to make back-ups of my photos. Yes, I had forgotten to tell them they shouldn’t do that. 

So, scrambling to find a working wi-fi connection in the middle of Shibuya, I started making my way to the station. It was only inside the station I finally managed to connect to the wi-fi and agreed to meet up with my friends at 2:30PM in Akihabara to go for a short karaoke session.

Finally in Akihabara I first rushed by a shop to get myself to lovely Hachisuka Nendoroid figure after all. The price didn’t go up, so... might as well get it.

We had to wait a while to get access to probably the cheapest karaoke place I’ve seen, but... though the room was a little small, they still used to standard system with a very, very large selection of songs. So, I got to sing a good lot of Toumyu songs. As that’s like the only songs I know nowadays. xD

After 1.5 hours of singing, we walked over the Tokyo Dome City to watch Kisho Hongi. It was awesome! I really want to see it again. Everyone was awesome! If you need more information, just read my review-ish post on my main blog.

After the show, my friend, who isn’t familiar at all with Toumyu, made herself a little list to remember the characters and their names. I really thought the description was hilarious, yet accurate.

Today was a good day. ^^

[otaku-mama73]

Toumyu fans, how are we today?

Toumyu is sure full of surprises lately, making sure to keep its fandom fed with various news and announcements. They’re in Paris, then they’re playing baseball, and performing on Japanese national TV with Songs of Tokyo and Shibuya Note. In between, they’re releasing their Blu-rays and CD’s.

Then this happens today...

Toumyu 3, Mihotose no Komoriuta is getting a re-run early 2019.  It’s not too surprising that Toumyu is doing a re-run of one of its plays. We’ve come to expect it ever since Atsukashiyama had its re-run this past summer. What is surprising is that they’re skipping Bakumatsu Tenrouden, the 2nd play in the franchise.

With team BakuTen’s recent and brief reunion on Songs of Tokyo, reformed with Horikawa 2.0, it seemed to be a perfect set-up to an imminent announcement of a BakuTen re-run. So today’s news, while exciting, is also confusing. As for the reasoning behind this out-of-order announcement, we can only speculate. The main explanation is actor scheduling conflicts.  Sato Ryuuji seems to be anywhere and everywhere all at once. When he’s not sewn into his Kashuu outfit, the kid is either promoting a film, preparing for another play, or releasing an album and going on tour with his band. It also appears that our Kane-san, Arisawa Shoutarou, will be busy early 2019 with another play. So we have at least a few reasons as to why BakuTen is being skipped over for Mihotose.

Now, for the other bombshell.  Looking closely at the new Mihotose visual, all the familiar characters are there, but wait, that steely cold glare seems different...That’s not Zaiki Takuma. Oh no.

We were all holding our breath when Ookurikara was not on the list for Shinken Ranbu Sai 2018, and now with news of the re-cast, even more speculations abound. Are scheduling conflicts to blame? Or is it something more sinister?  Many fans fear for the latter, and legitimately so. It is a frightening possibility that Zaiki was re-cast due to the incident earlier this year for being caught having an actual life. If it’s true, then shame on the Japanese “fans” for forcing his ouster and shame on the heads of Toumyu for caving into the demands of those “fans.”  Either way, Zaiki’s smoldering glare will be missed. I wish Zaiki the best of luck in future success and look forward to seeing what his replacement, Makishima Hikaru, will add to the character of Ookurikara. 

So while we were still reeling over Mihotose 2.0...

Genji Bros Shutsujin!  Time to give Kashuu a break and let these two young’uns have the spotlight for a bit. This should be a fun show and I look forward to seeing Miura Hiroki flash his ballet skills and Takano Akira flip all over the stage.

Good move, Toumyu.

The Toumyu franchise is definitely a cash cow.  All they need to do is recycle previous shows, re-arrange for some new shorter, spotlight shows, cap off the year with a Ranbu Sai and they will still sell out and pull in a fortune. With all the recycling and re-dos, one can’t wonder if they’ll ever add all new shows and write new story lines to add more Touken Danshis to the cast (Dategumis, please).

Toumyu karaoke list

Just tried cash studio’s DAM system and it has the following toumyu songs available for karaoke:

刀剣男士 team三条 with加州清光 

 刀剣乱舞 

おぼえている

キミの詩

mistake

刀剣男士 team幕末 with巴形薙刀

決戦の鬨 

獣 

Hope it’s useful :D

It’s 6 songs only and with no footage from the myus. 

On a side note, cash studio charges more for using the DAM / Joysound machines. XD

I hope to try Joysound too and see if it has a wider range of songs. ^_^

Toumyu panel at Japan Expo - Review

I decided to write a review about the Toumyu panel at JE to share with you all my eperiences and to keep my memories for later and I added my photos as well. If you’re interested, go ahead and have a read. ^^

So, we got up early with my brother to get ready for Japan Expo on Sunday. We arrived at around 8:45 (the gates were open at 9am), and there was already a lot of people. But luckily the line went pretty fast, so we got into the expo soon.

After we got our maps we looked for the stage first. When we got there I saw it was a smaller one, and for my surprise there were already some Toumyu cosplayers. There was an idol Mikazuki, an idol Kogi, and later I saw some Kashuu, too. Since it was still pretty early we decided to check out the place a bit, so we went first to the Toumyu booth.

And oh my god, I nearly shed some tears of happiness when I first got to see the guys’ idol costumes! I couldn’t believe I can really see them. I quickly shot some photos of that side of the booth and meanwhile a lady stepped to us and handed us some leaflets about the musical and Japonism. My brother told me to ask her if it is possible to talk a bit to the actors or get an autograph or something but I was too shy (I’m not used to speak in English at all) so he asked her. She said it’s not possible, but after the panel they’ll get the boys there to the booth and we can take photos of them. Then we told her we arrived especially because of Mario as he’s my favourite and she said “he’s beautiful”.

We had some more talk with her, she even said she’s visited my country for a time and she remembered some words in my language! We were really amazed! Then I asked her where is that part of the booth where we can buy the DVDs and she led us there. There were those huge paper things of the guys (I made photos of them as well). Well, the DVD was pretty expensive and for me so was the CD as well, but my brother convinced me to buy it so I got one.

Then we left to check out some other things my brother wanted to see, like robotics and stuffs like that.

We went back to the stage at around 11am and we were lucky to get a pretty decent seat in the 3rd row in the middle. I met there mandilo and the girl who organised the fanmeeting for Monday too, and she gave us a leaflet about a surprise singing for Mario as he had his birthday on the 6th.

Then we just waited… and waited… and waited… (meanwhile Riku senpai arrived and we met for the first time)… and waited…

Until at around 2:45pm the guys appeared and walked to the stage wearing their costumes! We weren’t allowed to photograph, but we waved at them anyway.

That was the very first moment I saw them! I couldn’t believe my eyes! First I spotted Ryo as he was the tallest, then Mario, and Daichi at the end. They looked at us but none of them waved back, they all wore a serious expression.

Then we waited a little bit more until the show started.

First we got a video about what Touken Ranbu is, then about the musicals and then…

The music for Shori no hata started, and the guys ran on stage! They danced and “sang” for that song (it was a playback what was a bit bad, but since that stage lacked of the techniques what would have been needed for a live singing it couldn’t be helped). Anyway, we were all happy and surprised they did a little performance.

After the song they lined up and the MC guy came on stage with an interpreter. First he asked the actors to introduce themselves and the characters they portray. Meanwhile Tsubasa failed a bit when he tried to pull out his sword, as it’s pretty long he had issues with it as he didn’t want to hit anybody. Then the MC guy asked the questions which were sent by the fans earlier.

First Mario was asked since it was his first time in Paris, then the other guys had to say something in French what they’ve learned. Then other questions came. I don’t remember all, and I didn’t understand much, I know these mostly because later I talked to Riku about them. XD So feel free to correct me or add more.

At most of the questions they had to answer by pointing at the right person. I’ll try to make a short list there:

Q: Who is the most shy?

A: *everybody points at Shunya*

Q: Who eats the most?

A: *they point at Mario*

Q: Who is the most serious?

A: *they point at Mario and he points at Tsubasa* (yes, we got some MariTsuba)

They got another question when everybody pointed at Ryo, but I don’t know what question it was. Edit: somebody told me what that question was. They were asked who is the most generous one, and they pointed at Ryo. Thank you for helping me out! ^^

At this moment I can’t remember more, but I’ll add if something else comes in my mind.

There was another question about what is the most difficult part to learn for the musical and their answers were:

Mario: dancing

Ryo: can’t remember, maybe singing?

Tsubasa: maybe acting, but I’m not sure

Daichi: singing

Shunya: he didn’t choose one but said if he acts he can’t sing, if he dances he can’t act, so for him it’s hard to put the pieces together

Ryuji: nothing (is difficult)

They were also asked what they thought of their characters when they saw them for the first and Mario said he thought Mikazuki was sexy. He had the picture only of him, nothing more, but for some reason he thought he was sexy.

About the next question I’m not sure, so feel free to correct me again.

They were also asked which character would they choose to portray beside their own character and they pointed at each other, except Ryuji who pointed out to the audience. Mario walked to him and asked who he pointed at and Ryuji said “Higekiri”. Well, the thing is, a Higekiri cosplayer was sitting right beside me and Ryuji chose her character. Congrats for it! ^o^

When the Q&A session ended they let us to take photos of the guys.

At this moment this is all I can remember about the panel.

When the panel ended the MC guy announced that the guys will go to the booth in 15 minutes, so everybody started to run there. Since we weren’t familiar with the place, my brother and I tried to follow the TR cosplayers but after a while we lost them. We tried to figure out where we were and we checked the map, and at that right moment I noticed the booth – 10 meters away from us. We ran there and waited until the guys arrived. When they got there they lined up at that part of the booth where their paper themselves were standing earlier and we took tons of photos. It was cute when Daichi lifted up Shunya and sat him on his shoulders and Shunya yelled “babyun!” to us. At a point we started to sing happy birthday to Mario, he was really happy about it. There was a Kashuu cosplayer who made a banner for him as well and when she lifted it up and he saw it his eyes went wide from surprise and he blushed.

Then the boys left that part of the booth and walked to the costume part where we weren’t allowed to photograph. I went there anyway and ended up so close to them! My brother pushed me as I was too shy to go closer and when Daichi put Shunya down I got about 50cm close to him and 1,5 meters close to Mario. O.O Shunya was really cute, I had to fight my urge to hug him. XD Ryo is HUGE, Tsubasa checked their idol costumes and straightened them while the other guys just talked to each other. I was a bit surprised by Mario because I expected him to be taller. I know he’s 180 cm tall, what means there is only 10 cm difference between his and my height, but everybody says he’s so tall I expected him to be bigger. Anyway, he really was handsome and beautiful.

Since I’m talking about Mario, let me add he seemed to be a bit tensed on the stage. He trailed off sometimes, his face was a bit serious, but I think that must have been because of this new experience and probably he must have been suffering from the jet leg. When the questions ended and the guys lined up for the photos he’s already turned to leave the stage, he was halfway down when they warned him to go back and pose. He laughed a bit and waved at himself because he felt hot and walked back to the guys. But he was really great, even my brother who has never seen him before said he seemed to be sympathetic for him.

Soon after the visit at their idol costumes they left the place and walked away. The last thing I saw was Daichi’s naginata.

After that some fans stayed around there. We talked to Riku and in the end we left together to go out for a meal and have some chat about the panel.

The next day my brother and I went to the hair salon where the cosplay meet was held. I met there Riku again and the girl who organised it and some other new people too, what made me tensed and try to hide. (I’m a shy person and since I’m not used to speak, especially in English, I’m not good at talking to new people.) Anyway, we had a little chat and flipped through the Itsukushima photobook and a Spoon magazine together. Then they started to talk about their experiences in Japan (my brother and I were the only ones who haven’t been there) and I couldn’t comment on this topic so I ended up to be completely silent. In the end I told my brother we can leave since he wanted to do some more sightseeing before our flight in the evening, so we said goodbye and left.

Now I’m in that state when I still can’t believe I saw the guys.

I saw Mario. I saw him

on stage…

in costume…

dancing…

talking…

My dream came true!

(Well, not perfectly, because I’d like to see him in a stage play/musical as well, but maybe next time.)

Anyway, I’m really thankful for God and everybody who helped me to get this experience and beautiful memories!

I decided to answer this 5 Things meme though no-one tagged me

5 Things you will find in my bag :

- Tissues. Actually, these are japanese tissues I bought last year when I was in Japan. I caught a bad cold with throat infection because of the Spring's not-that-much-hot air and I had to visit a doctor. These tissues are leftovers of that time. They are almost a souvenir now !

- Hairpins. Japanese ones, again. I like flower hairpins and I couldn't find the same in my country so, each time I go to Japan, I buy some of them 🌸

- Umbrella. Because France's weather isn't very good in winter in my town. Wait... did I mention this is a japanese umbrella ?? Yes, I bought it over there too. It is nice, salmon-pink color with cherry blossom flowers 🌸

- My wallet and my credit card.

- Fruits Basket manga. I'm reading it since my best friend lent me her collection, so I have always one volume with me !

5 Things you will find in my room :

- Anime and game's figures. Haikyuu's Kageyama and Sugawara ; Attack on Titans' Levi, Dramatical Murder's Koujaku (nendoroid), some Funko Pop (Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri from The Witcher, Mercy from Overwatch), and the last not the least, Mikazuki from Touken Ranbu (I have two versions of him).

- Wooden mock-up of Himeji Castle and Gold Pavillon of Kyoto

5 favorite things :

5 Things I am currently into :

- Touken Ranbu Toumyu : good songs, cute and beautiful boys (more beautiful than the original ones, yes yes)

5 Things on my to-do list :

TOUMYU PREORDERS & Where to get them

I disappear and re-appear once a blue moon….I keep locking myself out of my own account and  the tumblr app is just annoying to use.

But I digress.

Friendly reminder that I still have my bakumatsu dvd up for sale on eBay and will be shipped out from the US!

If your interested in it and wanna give me an offer (willing to negotiate), DM via twitter (@ blkhvn_ ) or email me at dearx207[at]gmail and I will take the listing down :x

Also~ for those who are pre-ordering Tsuwamonodomo ga Yume no Ato (Sanjou 2.0) as well as Shinken Ranbu Sai 2017 BD/DVDs the preorders closes at the end of the month (via toumyu official website) 

but for those who do not have a proxy or tenso account to directly pre-order from toumyu’s website, you can preorder these 2 BD/DVD via the following websites: CDJAPAN & AmiAmi are both taking pre-orders and will ship internationally.

I’ve checked amazonjp time and time again (since they typically offer free DHL shipping with BD/DVD orders) and unfortunately there is no listing up for pre-orders with them.

Both are marked accordingly priced and offer a variety of shipping types.

CDJAPAN will require payment upfront for pre-orders BUT Amiami will not charge you until the date of release, so you have time to set your funds aside anticipating their releases! Not to mention AMIAMI has a 15% discount right now for pre-ordering. SO GO GO GO GO!!!!

ToukenRanbuMusical website is also offering pre-orders for the Shinken Ranbu Sai photobook, it comes in 2 price points.

The higher one comes with a beautiful audio CD with all the songs sang on stage by the danshis~ (YAY no more ghetto audio rips) 

So please support your boys and pre-order!

For those looking to buy DVDs and dont have a region free or region 2 player; your PC will be able to read it. Just use VLC player when loading the DVD!

Bluray or BD is region free and can be played on any BD player (my ps3 and ps4 has no issues reading them!)

End of the year 2.5D Butai/Musical Asks!

Alright, I know this is really late since I finally got the chance to do this so let’s get it on to it~ 

Truth; I didn’t expect to be tagged along but I was. I have to say that I’m very happy that I got tagged. 

I was tagged by the lovely @allyyyyy0619

Once again, thank you for tagging me. My way of describing might be an odd way to describe a stage/musical/person and etc because in all honesty I actually don’t know what to say or how to describe it. And please, pardon my bad English!

Now let’s get to the questiosn! 

1. Firstly, how did you manage to find out about 2.5D butai/musical? Which butai/musical was your first and your impression of it?

I’m not sure which was exactly my first but it’s a Musical, it could be either Kuromyu (Musical 2) or Tenimyu. It’s either this two and my impression on both are somewhat the same? As it was something new for me because everyone is acting on stage, with wigs and full makeup on which I first find it quite funny but then I got used to it since it’s also fascinating. Hmm to say when it happened, I think it’s safer for me to say it was all in 2012, I was 14 at that time and only started using the internet fully. But it was a wild, fun ride for me. I like how I started from there to here.

2. Who was your first favourite 2.5D actor/actress? Why?

Hmm it should be Mizuta Kouki because of Tenimyu. I don’t remember how I got attracted to this guy but it was a love at a first sight. I find him very cool, especially when I saw his Kenya! It was awesome.. 

3. Top 3 (or more) favourite butai of the year?

1. Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu -Shousha to Haisha-

Since I’m also a fan of Haikyuu itself, I just love it when it comes to Seijoh since they are my favourite school after Karasuno. As this stage is the one when Karasuno lost to Seijoh during Interhigh, I get to see the touching scenes being acted out, putting me in tears. Of all thing is the music, I really like the orchestra theme going on, it gives you the bumps every single time and everything sounds so epic that it is as if there’s a strong wind swiping you along the way.  

2. Stage play Touken Ranbu -Akatsuki no Dokuganryu-

Hmmm what do I say for this one? Maybe because there’s Kasen Kanesada and Ookurikara. Kasen is my starter so I’m happy to see him on stage, besides Wada Takuma-san did an excellent job portraying him. I could stop fangirling over how elegant Kasen is? Besides that, it’s Tsurumaru. I totally love ‘Dark Tsurumaru’ , I was so shocked and that what a huge surprise for me. I’d always wonder how would a “ Dark version of Tsurumaru looked like” never thought it would really happen. Plot wise, everything is well written and well done. As usual Tousute has good music as well. 

3.  Joker Game

Okay this is quite unusual for me because I didn’t even watch the anime or read the manga to know the story but I definitely enjoyed the stage. It was very entertaining, everyone was so cool and despite it’s dark story, I actually really like it. The whole story isn’t my cup of tea but I watched it for Yamamoto Ikkei and didn’t thought it was be amazing.  

4. Top 3 (or more) least favourite butai of the year?

I don’t think I have one that I can list? Even if there’s some that didn’t fully caught my attention. . . . . . or maybe I didn’t watch much enough to actually have a least favourite. 

5. Top 3 (or more) favourite musical of the year?

1. Musical Touken Ranbu -Mihotose no Komoriuta- 

As usual, Touken Ranbu will win over everything. Anyways, for Mihotose’s storyline, I cried. I watched the musical and cried a lot. The acting was tip top, especially when I saw Yokota Ryugi’s real tears coming out, I couldn’t stop crying. Ishikirimaru’s suffering kills me, Nikkari’s observant kills me, Sengo’s uhhh self kills me, Tonbokiri kills me, Monoyoshi’s suffering kills me.. And the most would be because of Ookurikara, in this musical, we were shown the the softer side of him like when he said “that’s why I didn’t want to become friends” and how he actually cares. I love it.

2. Musical Star-Myu

I actually don’t have anything much to say about this musical since I can’t call myself much of a fan but I do like it and got hooked with the songs, and since I like Otori. (blame Suwabe Junichi for all of this) And since Kiyama Haruki did a good job as Otori.. 

6. Top 3 (or more) least favourite musical of the year?

I really do think I haven’t watch much so nothing to be listed.

7. Top 3 (or more) favourite actors/actress of the year?

1. Arisawa Shoutarou 

2. Mikata Ryosuke 

3. Ota Motohiro / Someya Toshiyuki

8. Top 3 (or more) rookie actors/rising actors whom you’ve high hopes for in the future?

1. Arisawa Shoutarou 

As we all can see, Shoutarou’s popularity is rising day by day now, from just an ensemble to an actual main character, that itself is a huge achievement and it doesn’t even take him that long to achieve that. I couldn’t be more proud of him, all I know is that he deserves all the love. And since Shoutarou is quite new, I want everyone to see Shoutarou’s true talent and he’ll prove the world that he is more than just “a rookie actor”. Shoutarou still has more years ahead but I know he’ll improve in no time, he already proved that to us from K Stage to now. And as I predicted, he’ll be in the new Toumyu next spring! I’m totally looking forward to that.

2. Kohatsu Allen

Allen has been around for a while now just like Shoutarou, and slowly I can see that he’s getting more better jobs now. But I still want to see even more for him. I was so happy when it was announced that he’ll be playing as “Shu” in Diabolik Lovers stage. Allen will totally be able to catch everyone’s attention once they see how he is on stage.

3. Shiraishi Judai 

I don’t know if Judai is considered popular or not but I know everyone really likes his Mattsun. I can’t say much since I haven’t seen other than his acting in Engeki Haikyuu or which stage was it with the one him being the villain(?) He was so cool in that stage, so I can say that he’s a great actor. Sooner or later, he’ll get something bigger that everyone can agree with me. I really do have my high hopes for him.

9. Top 3 (or more) favourite butai/musical related drama/movie of the year?

1. Yowamushi Pedal 

well since I love the manga, anime and the stage, of course I will love the drama as well especially when most of the actors in the drama were also in the previous stages. I get to see Pedal without seeing everyone running on stage, in a fixed position cameras I meant and with actual bikes. Pedal takes lots of stamina and energy so I admire all the actors that could bring us Pedal to live.

10. Top 3 (or more) actors/actress that you think have the best singing voice?

I’m bad at describing how beautiful someone’s voice may be so I’ll just rank it with a weird way of describing it?

1. Mikata Ryosuke

Ever since I’ve known him, I still think he’s the best of them all. I like it whenever he sings. I don’t know, his singing is just all dreamy for me. I love it. Mikatii;s singing isn’t the strong-windy type but he’s like the boyish type too. Easy for me to describe it, his vocals are like the when you went for a jog in the morning, the sun rise as you breathe in the fresh air. Or his vocals is like as if he’s pinning you to the wall. 

2. Ota Motohiro

Mokkun’s voice is the medium kind of strong. Most of the time I’ll hear him having to wave his voice and he did it perfectly. Mokkun’s voice is the kind that will melt your voice. It’s as if whenever he sings, he is trying to lure you into his honey trap and you’ll forever be captivated by him. Woooo goose bumps.

3. Yazaki Hiroshi 

I’m not even a fan of him but I really like it when he sings. This is due to Hakumyu where I’m exposed to his acting&singing. He has a very melodic voice and a gentle kind but strong voice? It’s like when you’re walking in a garden filled with roses. 

4. Spi

Spi’s vocals are the strongest and powerful but yet he could go softer when he has or wants to, depends on which song he’s singing. So Spi’s vocals are like the strong wind that will blow you away while you’re having your cup of tea during tea time, along with the table & chairs. His voice is that strong. 

Bonus: Unpopular Opinion (I think)

The person who I personally thinks has the best voice that could put me all over the world would be Arisawa Shoutarou. Maybe because I’m such a huge fan of him and I love him so much that I think that way. When I think about it, I really love his singing voice, his voice doesn’t sound so manly or strong. But people can improve. When Shoutarou sings, he sounded really boyish like when you’re having a moist chocolate cake. It’s sweet, concentrated and chocolatey. When I first heard him, I didn’t understand why I don’t see much people complimenting him? Like when I first heard him singing Heart to Heart in the Musicals, I could actually feel the song. Shoutarou’s voice is like he’s complimenting everyone. When he sings live or recording, both sounds excellent and I could tell straight away which voice belonged to him. It’s as if his voice has a personality on its own? I don’t know if this make sense but Shoutarou’s singing can make me teary too, it’s just too beautiful to me.. and I’ll say this, I got addicted to his voice. I really want to hear more, so I hope for Toumyu, next spring, he’ll get his solo. 

11. A (or more) butai/musical that you didn’t initially love, but has/have grown on you?

I’m not sure about this... hmm

12. Top 3 (or more) anime/manga/game that you would love to see being adapted into a butai/musical in the future?

1. Free! 

I’ve been wanting to see Free! to be adapt into a butai since who knows how long. Imagine how fun would it be....It would be a nice thing to see all characters, especially my favourite ones to be portrayed by an actor. I don’t expect it to come true any time soon. Let’s just hope it can happen but somehow I feel like it won’t happen because some would prefer for it to be left as it is.

13. Top 3 (or more) favourite fandom on the year?

I’ll be honest. I don’t really like fandom/s because sometimes fandom tend to ruin my mood and fun for something. However, most of the time, fandoms are fun especially when you see everyone goes crazy when productions dropped news onto them hahahahaha.

1. Toumyu / Tousute

This is obvious since I’m in TKRB hell so it would be obvious I’m in Toumyu hell too. I honestly don’t know how I got way too attached to Toumyu? maybe because of the Shinken Ranbu Sai that made me feel like Toumyu fandom is such a solid fandom. Like fans can keep expect new things and it’ll keep coming.. The production is alive and not a dead one. Like some you might not even know if there will be more musicals/stage ? Maybe that’s why I’m so attached because somehow I know it won’t end anytime soon and I can keep talking about it. And since most of the people I follow are in this fandom, it makes it hard not to love the fandom even though I’d never really get the chance to talk to anyone.....in the fandom..or becoming mutuals...Anyways, It’s just really fun to see everyone’s reaction.

Tousute is different than Toumyu, it’s two different franchise but it’s still tkrb. Tousute gives more of the serious kind and it kills us with the amount of angst they give out, that sharp pain in the heart and I like that. So, I like how everyone has to suffer the pain too. But in truth I don’t have much to say because it’s the same for me since I like both franchises. 

※there are some fans that likes Tousute but doesn’t like Toumyu (or vice versa). So I guess there’s why there’s separated fandoms?

3. Enstars 

I’m not in this fandom as I don’t even play the game nor do I’m a fan of it but 70% of people around me do & really love the stage. And since I always see it on my timeline, somehow I became to like the fandom without actually being in it or becoming a fan. I guess I just enjoy seeing everyone goes crazy in here. Great fandom.

14. How long have you been in the 2.5D fandom?

I started late, as it was in 2012 when I joined so it’s been 5 years. 

15. Lastly, what is your overall opinion of the 2.5D fandom so far?

Back then, everything was free, whatever was uploaded will be shared by everyone just like that but it wasn’t really that easy to look for something and the community was much smaller so everyone sticks together however nowadays, there’s stricter & stricter rules and such so it makes it harder but it’s easier to look for something now. I guess all these happens when the fandom started having toxic fans, as usual toxic fans ruins everything so I can’t really blame anyone. But I do miss those days when I first joined, all the fans seems more mature and everyone was more understanding. It’s like everyone looks after one another. Now? it seems like it’s lacking of those. I’ll stop it right here as I don’t want to say too much. 

But I will say that I am glad that more and more people know about the existence of 2.5D, so there’s more people to talk about it. The fandom itself is fun, especially when everyone is having fun & fangirl/boy-ing together.
