#kaho shimada

[love-little-lotte]

Currently listening to one of my favorite Les Misérables recordings ever. Debra Byrne is such a terrific Fantine, and (dare I say?) I like Gary Morris more as Valjean than Colm Wilkinson. Meanwhile, Philip Quast is amazing (as always). Kaho Shimada, Michael Ball, and Tracy Shayne sound heavenly, especially during In My Life/A Heart Full of Love. And, of course, Anthony Warlow is so passionate as Enjolras that I can clearly envision him in my mind.

i cant get over how casually the guy who says 'there's a boy climbing the barricade' in the complete symphonic recording ITS SO FUNNY TO ME

[senadimell]

So apparently I have been listening to selections from the 1989 symphonic recording, which explains why I've never been able to figure out which cast I'm most familiar with because it's literally a mixed bag of casts. (A lot of Aussies, though)

les mis enjoyers i have a question okay

The Version Ever

[austerlitzborodinoleipzig]

Japanese Junior Nationals Results

Junior Women

Gold : Mao Shimada

Silver : Kaoruko Wada

Bronze : Ikura Kushida

Ami Nakai is in 4th (did a three turn between her to jumps in combination in the short and fell on her 3A in the free). Rena Uezono finished 5th. All of them are going to Senior Nationals along with Haruna Murakami and Mayuko Oka who finished respectively 6th and 7th. Mei Okada had a horrible SP but a clean FS which allowed her to climb ten spots to place 8th.

Yo Takagi unfortunately ended up in 14th place. Just too many mistakes in both programs.

As for the Ultra-c elements.

Reina Kawakatsu, Ami Nakai and Mayuko Oka attempted the 3A. Only Reina landed her maybe with UR, haven't seen the protocols yet.

Mao Shimada landed the 3A but fell on the 4T.

Junior Men

Gold : Rio Nakata

Silver : Sena Takahashi

Bronze : Taiga Nishino

Shun Uemura, Shuntaro Asaga, Haru Kakiuchi. Ryoto Mori and Diaya Ebihara round up the top 8. Besides Rio not a lot of successful quads.

Junior Ice Dance

Gold : Sara Kishimoto/Atsuhiko Tamura

Silver : Sumire Yoshida/Ibuki Ogahara (the kids with the One Piece FD)

Bronze : Kaho Yamashita/Yuto Nagata

Only Sae and Lucas were competing for the pairs.

What does it mean for Junior Worlds Assignments ?

Only the winner is guaranteed an assignment. For junior men and women the other two spots will be selected by taking into account Junior Nationals and Senior Nationals placement + JGPF performance.

2022.09.29 Endless SHOCK @ Hakataza Theater in Fukuoka

Posting on my Tumblr so I can delete the thread on my Twitter and it looks better here than a series of 10+ tweets haha. I'm sad I didn't hit for SHOCK 2023 so time to relive seeing it last year. I got lucky and decided to just YOLO by applying for the self guided tour visa before borders opened back up officially like two weeks later lmao. I HAD TO GO since I'm a KinKi and Kisumai fan!

Koichi Zachou is really an oujisama 😍 Loved red hair Mitsu as rival. Wish I could have seen more shows because there's so much happening in all the scenes. Glad I got close seats in the 2nd floor especially to see Koichi's flying scenes in the second act 😭

9/29 13:00 show

I was so focused on Koichi at the beginning and I'm so used to Kochan's stage voice so when Mitsu first spoke I was like who omg it's HIROMITSU

I was very impressed with Mitsu's stage acting and singing just like many fans reported! His singing is very clear & smooth 💯

Matsuzaki & HIROMITSU are too cute as buddies. Zaki telling Mitsu to put his arms around Rika at the rooftop🙈 A few scenes I just laughed at their buddy bro dynamic.

Mitsu in the ❤️ patterned suit is cute 🥰 when he comes in with the bouquet & dances with Rika during It's a Wonderful Day. Man got guts to wear that heart patterned suit. Haha he's so charai just like how he is as idol... watch Kisumai Busaiku! 🤣

I think HIROMITSU is the happy go lucky charai rival that is more on KOICHI's level. He doesn't seem to get angry and is more sly and calculated.

I laughed at the Everybody Go lines 😂 I love the little references/adlibs. For my show since it was the day of Travis Japan's "world debut" announcement. After the rooftop scene they are crossing the stage~

Matsuzaki: There's a group making a world debut!

Mitsu on roller skates: Ehh Tora Tora..! 🐯🐯

Overall HIROMITSU gets along with everyone and have fun in the Company.

The solo for the rival, MOVE ON is such a good fitting song. I felt Shori had the cool youngster brash charisma in the performance. So it's nice to see how Mitsu's version has a different aura that was his own... he totally owned the stage. Dancing & charisma. 💯💯

I need to review the previous rivals and watch more closely but I can definitely see how others say Mitsu's version is different. I felt his version was more calm, diligent, and mature and more of KOICHI's equal. He didn't crumble emotionally and descend into darkness/violence or acted brashly right away...

It was a slowburn but when he finds out, KOICHI is really dead... After the Shakespearean act, HIROMITSU is lying on the floor distraught. The piano melody for Don't Look Back 〜戻れない日々 plays (love this song composed by Koichi! could we get a new OST version with Shori and Mitsu as vocals *biased*). This part always gets me with the rival, KOICHI, and the owner singing. here is where I first started to get sobby/cry a bit. I also cried at the end of Yori no Umi, then and there's HIROMITSU and the cast... The flashbacks of memories with KOICHI is shown...

Shimada Kaho who Koichi worked with in Knights' Tale played the Owner for the first time. She's a lovely lady and has such a elegant presence 😍 she has a softer speaking voice than Maeda Bibari-san but a powerful beautiful singing voice.

As always the second act is just amazing with the Japanese dance and flying scenes.

And the end is just 😭😭😭

Doesn't HIROMITSU look so intense!

Even knowing the general story with the acts and various performances... I understand why people still want to see it every year even tho the general story is the same but how the script changes with the different rival and how it evolves... There's a different atmosphere with each new rival/cast. For me, seeing the cast ensemble makes it interesting to watch with the chairman leading. I really hope to see Endless SHOCK again one day.
