Musical Touken Ranbu Spring 2023 has a name

We finally have a name for the new stage

花影ゆれる砥水

Hanakage yureru tomizu

I don't have the knowledgeto translate the title but the name of the humans have been revealed :

Mitsuru will be playing Honami Kotoku. In history he is known to be a sword appraiser/inscriptor/ polisher from a pretty well known familly that appraised or inscribed many of our boys

Yasuto Kosuda will be playing toyotomi hideyoshi

and our dear ex-ensemble will be playing a character named Kage

So for now our best and most credible theme is going to be around the worth of a sword !

speaking of swords we have new more complete visuals :

Let's be honnest i am ready to see the stream of the first day on dmm and then in person.

FAN REPORT 「 Stunned 」

Hello! It has been a while.

Yesterday, Originally posted on my livejournal on February 25th was the last day of the musical Koihana Bakumeiroku starring Kihara Rui, Ueda Kandai among others AND I WATCHED IT via livestreaming of course. Lol. Honestly, I was hesitant of buying a ticket because of common problems like "is the live streaming available worldwide?" or "can I pay via cc?" and things like that. I'm glad that it was available for overseas livestreaming so this makes my FIRST LIVE MUSICAL. Don't get me wrong, okay? I watched two others last year (my firsts) but they are already archived ones SO TECHNICALLY THIS SHOW IS MY FIRST TO WATCH LIVE. ASDFGHJKL :(((((

Oh well anyway, sorry for the extra story so without a further ado, here's my fan report about Koihana Bakumeiroku musical.

「 Stunned 」

So fast forward to yesterday, I was nervous and at the same time with overflowing excitement watching my first live musical.

Opening act, Rui opened the scene with his monologue as he walked down the aisle going to the stage. As for the game connection, I think the script writer made a befitting act for the monologue. In the game, it wasn't really stated how Saito is thinking of his former master (Katamori-sama) so having it acted out at the opening was really a nice touch, I'd say. ✨✨

"Saito, you are bad at lying" -- Katsu said.

Enomoto is out of the prison with Mori sensei... for some reason a.k.a well-being. lol I loooooooove that Mori's actor is so playful and FAR MORE PLAYFUL THAN THE GAME ONES (for now, okay). Just fair judgment since I'm not playing Mori's route (blehhh).

As he was reminiscing his former days, Mori gave him sheets of paper to write about his memories.

AND THEN!!!! THE OPENING SONG!!!! IT SERIOUSLY GAVE ME CHILLS If I were at the venue, I would be sobbing hard for real. That's the power of Kihara Rui to me.

Now we travel to the past... Although it's not really time travelling but more of story telling. (I reconfirmed it with another fan) It's how Saito wrote the story and now it's executed at the stage.

Not to mention that I love the rivalry between Enomoto and Kido.

For the ensemble men, one of them appeared to Enomoto and he proceeded with his monologue. TO MY SURPRISE, as we go deep in the story, some of the ensemble men have lines!! They speak!! Oh my God!! It was actually something I wasn't expecting actually since the previous stages that I've watched, they usually speaks in chorus like AHHHHH IKUZOOOO WOOOOO something like that.

Speaking of ensemble men, I've got an eye candy amongst them. His name is JUN SATO. There's this one particular scene that I'd like to commend his acting with. It's the part with he and Kondo. His facial expression at that very moment was marked in my memory. The horror in his face mixed with sadness like damn! He really caught my attention at that very moment. I do wish he improves more in the upcoming productions and I hope I can watch him again.

Continuing, a new character was introduced and his name was JOHN. Fret not, I did my assignment on researching about Edward Snell which is also hard if you aren't searching the name in katakana. 🙄 Before that, when I saw the photos from official twitter I thought maybe this guy beside Edward is his older brother. Back then I still don't know who is the actor (it's not on official HP, okay). Two days before the final show, Fujita Rei posted a photo of him and John and I kept on zooming it because he looked familiar. 😅 And yes, to my surprise, HE'S THE SAME FREAKING PERSON AS THAT GUY PORTRAYING MORI WTF!? It like "oh, let's just cost reduct by hiring the same actor" production-wise. Lol.

And this is the fiction part of the story. History-wise, Mori and John are not the same person. As much as I would love to tell more about it, I'll end up spoiling it. orz

Oh well anyway, another thing that I love was Kondo and Hijikata relationship. uwu Kondo is the only person who can tame Hijikata like a puppy. :((( He becomes incredibly cute when Kondo is around. :((( Saito became like some sort of chaperone between the two (yeah, not a third party lol).

Moreover, they had depicted why Kirino was smitten to Saigo... in a most adorable way. :((( I just can't help but comment with Kirino's actor BECAUSE HE WAS GOOD LOOKING. Don't get me wrong, the Kirino is game is good looking too but I don't find him appealing... unfortunately. Following Kirino's profession of admiration, Kido also shared his. Kirino was amazed and even asked Kido about the man's whereabouts but unfortunately... he's already dead. 🥲 I think I forgot to run over spi. It's my first time watching him and I was... yes, smitten. His voice, his modulation, it was so amazing when he sang!

And also, I said that I like Enomoto and Kido's rivalry. Enomoto has more deep relationship with Katsu, I guess? I still have to do an assignment on their relationship.

Script-wise, I also happened to read the tweets of the script writer and how he commented on the casts too. Edward's twisted personality just originated with him yearning for a family. John really worn as grief looking face althrough out, it's as if he didn't really wish for this to happen.

*slams fist* I ENDED UP FOLLOWING KYOTEN WAKU FOR THIS!! FUUUUUCK *sighs in disbelief*

The last part is really full of action. The casts and the ensemble men really gave them all. Yes, there are camera angles that I can see all of them catching their breath lying down. Good job everyone. 👏👏👏👏

The last time that Saito and Hijikata meet, he was trying to recruit Saito to come along with him. Saito sticked to his belief and refused him. And!!!! The pop-ish song. I really like it. But heck, I cried hard over that song. I had a breakdown when he patted Saito's head.

"EVEN IF WE CROSS PATHS SOMEDAY, YOU GONNA SEARCH FOR YOUR OWN PATH"

HOW THE HECK I WOULD NOT BREAKDOWN, TELL ME!!!! :((((( --- And that wraps up my thoughts. There's still a lot to learn historical-wise. I was stunned with the production. The actors and the ensemble men we're all amazing. If I was at the venue, I would literally breakdown and cry. :(((( I'm glad to have bought the ticket. I'll treasure this forever.

Rui Kihara and Sato Yuria as Ichigo and Orihime.

[asknarashikari]

So I was perusing through the MuskRat site… when I came upon this tweet… tried to figure out who could the tweet be referring to…

Turns out it was referring to Tametomo’s actor…

I was still doubtful because of the "as soon" part but both Sayo and Takamichi were the closest and most recent sentai senshi to become riders... sooo yeah...

I do hope he gets to be both an Ultra and a Rider. Poor guy, the guy who expressed his desire to be in three projects got snubbed in favor of both

It might be a matter of him just not finding a role that fit him yet.

Did you know, Renn Kiriyama auditioned for Kamen Rider multiple times before he landed the role of Shoutaro? He auditioned for the main roles of Kabuto and Decade before he snagged W. Similarly, Atsuhiro Inukai tried out for Drive before he was cast as Sento in Build. Junya Komatsu auditioned multiple times since Gaim before he was cast as Hiromi in Revice.

So, yeah. He's not alone in wanting to be in a toku badly and not getting any roles despite his enthusiasm. The fact that he'd already been in Sentai is definitely a point in his favor though.

Also, to be pedantic, while Mio Kudo did become a Rider after she was cast in Kirameiger, she was just reprising her earlier role as Fukami Kanon from Ghost, and it's very likely they turned Kanon into a Rider precisely because she'd already become a heroine in another show and making Kanon a side character with no powers would be a downgrade for her. (Though they did keep her as a civilian supporter for her next reprisal in Girls Remix, albeit one who could fight even in civilian mode)

Reiwa Sentai tokusatsu-to-BL poll

I'm kind of obsessed with the tokusatsu-to-BL pipeline so I often think about which toku actors I would most like to see in a BL, but I don't know what other toku fans think about this. Hence, a poll. If folks are interested enough to respond to this, I'll try a Kamen Rider or Ultraman one next.

This list is pretty long, but I did leave a few Sentai dudes off. If I omitted your favorite, let me know in a comment or a tag. I'm only drawing from completed Reiwa series here, so no Boonboomgers. I'm not counting support roles in BLs or roles in BL parodies like Zettai BL.

If you need to refresh your memory, there are photos of each actor under the poll. Reposting would be great just to get a decent sample.

Mizuishi Atomu (Oshikiri Shiguro/Kiramai Blue on Kiramager)

Yano Masato (Racules Husty on King-Ohger)

Ikeda Masashi (Jeramie Brasieri/Spider Kumonos on King-Ohger)

Ishikawa Raizo (Momotani Jiro/Don Dragoku on Donbrothers)

Watanabe Aoto (Yanma Gast/Tombo Ohger on King-Ohger)

Sekoguchi Ryo (Stacey/Staycaesar on Zenkaiger)

Kihara Rui (Imizu Tametomo/Kiramai Yellow on Kiramager)

Totaro (Inuzuka Tsubasa/Inu Brother on Donbrothers)

Shoji Kouhei (Takamichi Crystaria/Kiramai Silver on Kiramager)

Tominaga Yuya (Sonoi on Donbrothers)

Chiwata Yuhei (Shiokara on King Ohger)
