Lamento stageplay news + visuals

Just one more day left until the live performancs of the Lamento stageplay start! The stageplay was of course already announced last year, but as they finally started tweeting the countdown pictures, I wanted to write a blog post about the visuals and information they've released so far, comparing some of the stageplay visuals to the official game illustrations!

Similar to the DRAMAtical Murder (DMMd) and sweet pool stageplays, the Lamento stageplay will also have different routes for each main character, Asato, Bardo and Rai. I'm going to assume that the first half of the stageplay will be some kind of common route, while the second half focuses on the route of each different character. Something that is new is that this time the stageplay will have "musical elements" as well, so I'm not sure if I should call it a stageplay or a musical (I'm just using "stageplay" this time as the official account also seems to call it that). Even though in the game Konoe's song is just a melody, the actors did tweet about singing, so I am curious what they will do!

Ohyama Yoh, who composed 19 of the 37 songs of the Lamento original soundtrack also tweeted that there will be 11 new songs (+ addictional background music). I think it's super cool that they're working together with the original composer again to create new songs for the stageplay! I remember the DMMd stageplay also had a new song by GOATBED, which they even performed live a few times at the end of the show. The previous stageplays were about two hours long, but this time they mentioned it will be at least 3 hours, which makes sense because Lamento is a lot longer than sweet pool and DMMd.

I'm really impressed by the costumes and wigs so far, the ears and tails also look so fluffy... I really wonder what they will look like in motion and what the battle scenes will look like. Most of the visuals of the individual characters they've released so far seem to be based on the in-game sprites, but what I found interesting is that Rai's, Asato's and Bardo's pictures seem to have the same pose as the Kotobukiya figurines! You can see the comparison below, the pictures of the figurines are from the Kotobukiya official website.

Another new visual which was released quite recently seems to resemble another official illustration, which I've seen in the artbooks before and which was also the cover of magazine B's Log, specifically the December 2006 issue. Some of the details are a bit different, for example Konoe is not holding Leaks' mask in his hand anymore, and this time they added Shui to the illustration as well, but some other things such as Bardo's pose make it quite obvious this picture was their inspiration. The way Shui and Leaks stand next to each other kind of reminds me of the Rhapsody to the Past drama CD as well? One thing I noticed is that they're not really trying to hide Leaks' face this time, which was actually quite a big reveal in the game.

Next are some of the other illustrations they recently showed us during a short livestream which was available on Twitter for a limited time. Luckily they also posted the pictures on the official account! These won't be sold as merchandise, but they're given away as a bonus for those who attend all three versions of the show. I guess one thing I never noticed before is how little promotional/extra art Bardo got back then, so in this case they had to use one of his in-game CGs. For the other characters they mostly seem to use some of the extra/promotional art. Anyway, you can see a comparison below! I think it's fun to see how they re-created the pictures with the actors.

The last picture they recently showed during the Twitter livestream uses the cover illustration of the official world guidebook! Unfortunately no Bardo in this one either. This is one of the items they are selling as merchandise, it seems to be some kind of booklet (they call it a "pamphlet" but it's 32 pages long). I really wish they would sell the merchandise online, but for now it's only accessible for those who have a ticket and who buy it inside the venue. Maybe if they have any extra stock they might sell it online?

Update: The stageplay will also be livestreamed on DMM TV! The ticket to watch all three routes is 10000 yen (about 66 USD, which is cheaper than the in-person tickets at least!) which also gives you some special bonus videos to watch. First is Bardo's route on February 24th, followed by Asato's and Rai's routes on February 25th. Be aware that it is region locked and not all VPNs work, so unfortunately I can't help much with that! For any further updates you can check the official Twitter account!

DAY 1500) Mary Skelter 2 - Quantum Mechanics

Composer: Yoh Ohyama

DAY 1500 ?!!?!? WOW   HOW HAVE I BEEN DOING THIS THIS MANY DAYS UNINTERRUPTED STILL ?!!?!

also it is day/month 15/8 time day. Normally for milestone posts like this I go for a super complex mixed meter post that’s really impressive to look at because there are a lot of big numbers on it and every 2 seconds is a different timesig, but since it’s also 15/8 time day (and 1500 starts with “15″) for this I’m going for just something that’s a cool climactic (and very interesting) use of 15!

(0:00 - 0:03) 1 bar of 12/8

(0:03 - 0:15) 3 bars of 15/8 (3+3+3+3+3), 1 bar of 12/8

(0:15 - 0:23) 2 bars of 15/8 (5+5+5)

(0:23 - 1:11) 18 bars of 12/8

(1:11 - 1:20) 7 bars of 5/8, 1 bar of 6/8

(1:20 - 1:25) 2 bars of 12/8

(1:25 - 1:38) 3 bars of 15/8 (3+3+3+3+3), 1 bar of 12/8 

(1:38 - 1:45) 2 bars of 15/8 (5+5+5)

(1:45 - 2:22) 14 bars of 12/8

(2:22 - 2:31) 7 bars of 5/8, 1 bar of 6/8

(2:31 - end) 2 bars of 12/8.

Since this switches between a 5+5+5 and 3+3+3+3+3 grouping of the 15, I noted when it’s one or the other above

You could break a lot of these bars down into smaller alternating chunks, or even just things like writing 6/8 instead of 12/8, or 3-bar-phrased 5/8 at the 5+5+5 15 parts. Honestly most people would probably consider writing it out something like that better, but this is how I personally feel it.

The drums in general are doing other subtle ways of playing with your perception of pulse beyond just a given timesig. Shifting between shuffle-like groups of 3 and straighter iterations of pounding 8th notes, tons of cool stuff like that.

I LOVE Yoh Ohyama (and his band outside of vgm, Asturias) so so much, it exudes the best elements of classic prog to me and I am so glad that a guy with a prog band I love a ton also just happens to be a VGM composer!

So much more about this track is extremely to my taste and I could go on about it forever. I hope it works well for you as the big DAY 1500 milestone post!!!
