Keep You Burnin'

Non so perchè mi è venuta in mente la sigla più bella di tutti gli anime di sempre!

La cantavano i Tom Cat ((トム・キャット?, Tomu Kyatto, TOM★CAT) un gruppo rock giapponese attivo tra gli anni '80 e 90. La loro Tough Boy apriva la seconda serie dei cartoni di Ken Il Guerriero, e un'altra canzone, Love Song, era la sigla finale, due prove stupende del gruppo della cantante Atsumi Matsuzaki.

Chi non è d'accordo con me, verrà colpito da una delle massime tecniche dell'antica scuola di Hokuto, lo Zankai sekiho ken, nota anche come "colpo del rimorso", tecnica che non uccide immediatamente l'avversario, ma gli concede il tempo di pentirsi delle proprie azioni. Colpendo lo tsubo shitsugen le gambe dell'avversario iniziano a muoversi indipendentemente dalla sua volontà.

L'energia che questa sigla metteva in me ragazzino mi ha fatto venire gli occhi lucidi.

“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live, a new live 2.5D Musical entertainment based on the wildly popular manga (comic book) will play at the PlayStation Theater (1515 Broadway at 44th Street) for three performances on March 29 at 8PM and March 30 at 1PM and 5PM. Directed and choreographed by TAKAHIRO (Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet Tour) with book by Akiko Kodama(Takarazuka Revue Company), and music by HYADAIN (Momoiro Clover Z; AKB48). “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live will have its US premiere in Washington DC for one performance only at The Warner Theatre on March 24, along with its run in New York. With its themes of love, justice and friendship, the musical features an all-female cast; there are some male characters, played by women.

One of the most popular mangas of all time, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon has sold over 36 million copies worldwide. Created by Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon began as a manga in 1991 in Japan in a girl’s comic magazine, “Nakayosi”, published by Kodansha. It was subsequently adapted as an anime program (Japanese animation), and a live-action television program. A sequel to the series is also now in production. In “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live, the characters come to life, live on stage and it was produced in part to commemorate the 25th anniversary since Sailor Moon was first published.  The brand has generated $5 billion in merchandise sales.

“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live marks the first time a 2.5D Musical will be on an American stage. 2.5D Musicals, which began around 2000, are based on popular contemporary Japanese culture: manga comics, anime and video games.  Manga and animation are in 2D, and live theatre is in 3D. Therefore, they call performances based on manga and animations 2.5D. A theatre has been built in Japan to house this popular new form of entertainment.

“At its core, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is about strong girlfriends banding together to fight for what they believe in…that’s timely,” said producer Takaharu Uera. “Sailor Moon and her Sailor Guardians are equipped with powers that help them defeat evil and the characters are imbued with the self-determination to make their own confident decisions. In short, they are the ultimate example of ‘girl power.’ We look forward to introducing American audiences to Sailor Moon, her Guardians and the 2.5D Musical experience.”

This production of “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live premiered on August 31, 2018 at the AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo. After its world premiere in Tokyo, it played a run in Paris earlier this year prior to its Washington D.C. and New York premieres in 2019.

“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live will be performed in Japanese with English supertitles.

The cast of “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live includes: Tomomi Kasai, Momoko Kaechi, Yui Hasegawa, Kanna Matsuzaki, Yu Nakanishi, Makoto Aikawa, Reo Sanada, Atsumi Matsubayashi, Izumi Niihashi, Ayumi Higashikawa, Moeko Koizumi, Hinako Aikawa and Riona Tatemichi,.

BWW Review: PRETTY GUARDIAN SAILOR MOON THE SUPER LIVE Launches the 2.5D Phenomenon

by Cindy Sibilsky

Back off Broadway standards and step aside movie adaptations --- there's a whole new dimension of live entertainment in town!

On March 24th at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. and March 29-30th at the PlayStation Theater sandwiched between multiple Broadway houses in the heart of Times Square, a new and exciting cultural phenomenon from Japan landed on U.S. soil for the first time. No, it's not the latest gadget or fashion, nor is it a "SQUIP" (the pill that can make you popular from the Broadway musical Be More Chill), it's an entirely different genre of stage performances based on Japan's most ubiquitous export --- anime and manga --- showcased onstage with "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" The Super Live.

[...]

"Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" The Super Live follows the foibles, fantasies and fights of Usagi Tsukino aka Sailor Moon (played by Tomomi Kasai with as much contradictory childishness, quirky charisma and courage as her cartoon counterpart) along with her four friends who comprise the Sailor Guardians (so-called for their schoolgirl-inspired superhero uniforms): the brainy Ami Mizuno aka Sailor Mercury (Momoko Kaechi), the fiery, passionate Rei Hino aka Sailor Mars (Yui Hasegawa), tall and powerful Makoto Kino aka Sailor Jupiter (Kanna Matsuzaki) and dreamy Minako Aino aka Sailor Venus (Yu Nakanishi), soldier of love and beauty. These are not your typical studious Japanese junior high girls --- they spend their extra-curricular time fighting evil forces, particularly the wicked yet seductive Queen Beryl (Makoto Aikawa), her henchman Kunzite (Reo Sanada) and their minion of demons, performed by an extraordinary ensemble (Atsumi Matsubayashi, Izumi Niihashi, Ayumi Higashikawa, Moeko Koizumi and Hinako Aikawa) who displayed almost superhuman feats in dance and fight choreography. And finally, the heroine's heart's desire --- Mamoru Chiba --- who is seemingly aloof and dismissive in the daytime, yet charming and heroic when his identity is obscured aka Tuxedo Mask (portrayed with exquisite perfection by Riona Tatemichi whose gravity-defying, flowing silken cape alone deserved due recognition for flawless authenticity).

The spectacle boasts high-tech interactive projection mapping, a multi-colored, moving LED apparatus that creates the appearance of light rays, outrageously enjoyable musical numbers with winks to Japanese pop culture and iconic Sailor Moon scenes, such as the heroine's tardiness to school turning into an encounter with zombie classmates (thanks to Kunzite's spells); Usagi's first encounter with Mamoru and subsequent fantasy complete with winged angels, heart-shaped goggles and Tuxedo Mask gift-wrapped; the flirtatious battle between Usagi and her unmasked crush at video game arcade; a girls shopping spree in the famed Harajuku fashion district of Tokyo; and, of course, plenty of high-heeled, butt-kicking, hair-flipping girl-power action resplendent with superhero effects you could both see and hear --- all to make the cartoon and comic come to vibrant multi-colored life. And that's just part one. The second portion of the show is a concert where those in the know waved colored penlights in honor of each Guardian's representative color. Here the company showed off their characters' spirited personalities with a variety of musical numbers including Tuxedo Mask's Big Band, Broadway-style showstopper. Of course, the pinnacle of fan frenzy was saved for last when the cast (and the audience along with them) sang the iconic title song "Moonlight Legend" from the anime series and descended into the crowd of hysterical glee giving high-fives to outreached hands. In that moment the audience and performers were united as one.

[...]

The decades-long, multi-generational devotion and popularity of the Sailor Moon series proved to be the right choice to introduce American audiences to this new brand of Japanese entertainment (affectionately dubbed "2.5D" as reference to the 2D source material and 3D live performers). All four shows in both cities sold out within a couple of weeks and crowds flew in from over 40 states to see the Pretty Guardians in person. The eager attendees could not restrain their enthusiasm and broke into spontaneous, hysterical screams of glee when favorite characters appeared, memorable moments were re-enacted or epic battle scenes of girl-power and good overcoming obstacles and evil forces unfolded. This was a surprise and delight to the Japanese producers and cast, who are used to the much more polite, reserved expressions of support and enjoyment from fans on their home turf. Audiences in both Washington D.C. and New York City were diverse in terms of gender, cultural background, cosplay fashions (or not) and other factors, but the median age group were in their 30s. Admittedly, I was one of them, for Sailor Moon was my own introduction to anime and it was an extraordinary joy to watch cherished characters such as Queen Beryl, the Sailor Guardians and especially, Tuxedo Mask --- the first crush of many young female (and male) otaku --- in action.

[...]

With the remarkable and unprecedented success of "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" The Super Live launching a new dimension of entertainment in the states, the question is not if, but when and where the next showing of these sensational spectacles will occur.
