Today at 21.00. p.m. on japanese time and 14.00. p.m on european time, the new and final episode of the series "Black Pean-2" airs on "TBS". But before that, there will be a two-hour SP programme about the filming and other delights. The episode will air the same day at 19.00. p.m. on japanese time and 12.00 p.m. on Israel time. Don't miss it!

During an open surgery performed by Amagi(NinomiyaKazunari) at the International Society of Cardiac Surgeons, patient Tokunaga's (Hajime Inoue) body temperature suddenly rises as he is about to dissect the internal thoracic artery, and he develops malignant hyperthermia.

However, there is no cure for malignant hyperthermia. Amagi, whose nightmare is the same as his mother's, decides to undergo an extremely dangerous operation using an artificial heart-lung during bypass surgery, and Takashina (Kotaro Koizumi) supports him. However, all three coronary arteries to create a shunt for Tokunaga's patient have been severed. What do these scars mean? Then Shingyoji (Koji Ishizaka), who was present at the conference, advises Amagi to cancel the surgery as the society had intended. However, Saeki (Masaaki Uchino) convinces him to go ahead with the operation and tells him the true purpose of the new hospital. At the same time, at Tojo University, Yui (Reiho Horikoshi) develops acute mitral regurgitation. She is in a very critical condition and Sera (Ryoma Takeuchi), assisted by Kurosaki (Satoshi Hashimoto), performs an emergency operation. However, an unexpected circumstance occurs ...

How will the fate of these two people turn out?

In addition, the whole truth about the sealed direct anastomosis and the meaning of Black Clamp's broken promise are revealed!

And the action once again unfolds in Australia...

Miho Nakano in Princess From the Moon (Kon Ichikawa, 1987)

Cast: Toshiro Mifune, Ayako Wakao, Yasuko Sawaguchi, Koji Ishizaka, Fujio Takita, Jun Hamamura. Screenplay: Shin’ya Hidaka, Kon Ichikawa, Mitsutoshi Ishigama, Ryuzo Kikushima, based on a story by Shikibu Murasaki. Cinematography: Setsuo Kobayashi. Film editing: Chizuko Osada. Music: Kensaku Tanikawa.

In eighth-century Japan, a man (Toshiro Mifune) and his wife (Ayako Wakao) are mourning the death of their 5-year-old daughter, Kaya. They live beside a forest of bamboo, whose stalks the man cuts and turns into baskets and other artifacts, which he sells to make a living. One night they see a bright light and their hut is shaken by a huge tremor. The next morning, when the man goes out to investigate he finds near his daughter's grave a large egg-shaped object. It begins to crack open and as he watches, a baby crawls from it and begins to grow rapidly until it assumes the form of his dead child (Miho Nakano). The man and his wife raise the girl as their daughter, Kaya, and discover that the egg-shaped object from which she emerged is pure gold, so they become rich enough to move into a large house. Kaya swiftly grows into a young woman (Yasuko Sawaguchi) whose beauty attracts high-born suitors. But she has brought with her a small crystal ball that eventually reveals her secret: She is from the moon, the sole survivor when the ship that was carrying her crashed. To ward off her suitors, she proposes impossible tasks to win her hand. And then the ball reveals that at the next full moon, a ship will arrive to carry her home. The entire realm has fallen in love with Kaya, and on the night of the full moon, troops are stationed about the house to shoot down any arriving ships. Up to this point, Kon Ichikawa's Princess From the Moon has been a charmingly magical fantasy film, a smart adaptation of an ancient Japanese folktale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, with beautiful sets by Shinobu Muraki, costumes by Emi Wada, and color cinematography by Setsuo Kobayashi. But suddenly Ichikawa imposes on the setting a spaceship out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Spielberg, 1977), and Kaya is drawn up into it in flowing robes and accompanied by what appear to be glowing cherubs, an image that recalls Renaissance paintings of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, like this one by Rubens:

It's a startling shift in tone and technique, to say the least, especially when compounded by the insertion of a pop song, "Stay With Me," by Peter Cetera behind the end credits. Critics, too, were jarred by the overlaying of a sci-fi trope on a traditional tale, but audiences seemed to like it. A somewhat more traditional version of the story, The Tale of the Princess Kagya (Isao Takahata, 2013), was produced by Studio Ghibli and was nominated for the animated feature Oscar.

Introduction to Club Slazy

Whether you heard your favourite 2.5D actor is in this or you just learned about its existence, this guide aims to help you dip your toes into the mysterious, sexy, and eccentric world of Slazy.

(Pictured from left to right: Oyama Masashi, Ota Motohiro, Yonehara Kousuke, Kato Ryosuke, Izawa Yuuki, Saikawa Koji, Gotou Takeru, Watanabe Daisuke, Fujita Ray, Norizuki Kohei, Inzagi, Morisaki Win, Kimeru, Higashi Keisuke, Fujiwara Yuki)

At Dilly Dally St. 24-7, Club Slazy is a place dedicated to lifting sadness from women’s hearts, and can only be found when you receive a Garnet Card. The top performers there are called Lazies, ranked from the Top Ace to Second Ace, Third Star, Fourth Star, and Fifth Star. Aspiring to those positions are the background dancers called the New Jacks. All the performers are named from the letters of the alphabet and introduce themselves like so: “Starting with the letter A, my name is Act.”

Tinkering behind the scenes, the Mystics erase the footprints of the guests every night. Unlike the performers, they’re named by numbers. (The notable exception to this rule is Q the head of the Mystics, but Q and 9 are pronounced the same in Japanese). The viewer is considered one of the Mystics, named 386 (pronounced Miharu). 

The cane-twirling Manager is the one running the show. He is assisted by his Shadow, a figure that is bound to his will and can only be seen by him, the Mystics, and the Owner. 

The Owner of the club during the duration of the series is Mr.X, a powerful man who makes it known how much he enjoys toying with members of the club. He makes it as difficult to leave the club as it is to find it. Situated below Club Slazy is the vaguely creepy Underworld, and looming above is the soulless world of Tori. 

In this series there are a total of six stage plays, five special lives, and a TV drama. The stage plays follow a non-linear timeline, each focusing on different characters during different points of an overarching story. Four of the special lives are just performances of the songs and dances while Special Live 2016 takes place after Final Invitation. The TV drama is a continuation after that. 

The DVDs/CDs are available on AmazonJapan, CDJapan, GYAO!, or the official CLIE website. Please show your support to the actors! 

Spoiler-free summaries are below. (These are not translations)

Club SLAZY - OPEN

This is the first work in the series. It follows Endou (Izawa Yuuki), a despairing man who receives a Garnet Card after being dumped by his girlfriend. The Manager, Zs (Fujiwara Yuki), brings him to the club where he meets the Lazies. The short-tempered Top Ace is Act (Oyama Masashi), followed by the seemingly air-headed Second Ace Bloom (Ota Motohiro). The narcissistic Third Star is Cool Beans (Yonehara Kousuke), and the perpetually drunk Fourth Star is Deep (Kato Ryosuke). The Fifth Star position is vacant. Soon Endou becomes entangled in a part of the club’s dark past as he and Act fall prey to the manipulations of an ex-Lazy Ya (Osuka Jun).

2nd Invitation ~Sapphire~

Sapphire’s story starts before the events of OPEN, when King (Watanabe Daisuke) was the Top Ace of the club. It also introduces us to Q (Norizuki Kohei), the head of the Mystics. King becomes enamoured with a woman who continually occupies the special seat meant for the person with the deepest sadness, yet who leaves before his performance every night. 

3rd Invitation ~Onyx~

Bloom disappears from the club, and in his wake, two mysterious and talented performers appear. They are named Reti (Inzagi) and Riddle (Morisaki Win) by Mr.X (Ishizaka Isamu) and proclaim their desire to take over the Lazies’ positions. The ensuing conflict tears the members of the club into two factions, battling to preserve or destroy the status quo. 

4th Invitation ~Topaz~

Deep’s brother, Doo Bop (Kuranuki Masahiro), returns to the club after years of separation. His arrival digs up memories of the past, both joyful and painful, especially for Cool Beans and Bloom. This is the story of how the brothers first joined the club, and how Deep is involved in Q and Bloom’s past. 

~Another World~

Before Act was Top Ace, it was Will (Higashi Keisuke), a man with a nervous disposition and a weak stomach. Supporting him from the position of Second Ace was V.P (Kimeru). The pressure of being at the top drives Will to make a desperate bid for freedom. Meanwhile, what really happened between Act and the expelled Fifth Star, Eyeball (Nagakura Masaaki), is revealed. 

Final Invitation ~Garnet~

While Odds (Fujita Ray) is the substitute Manager in Zs’ absence, a new Top Ace needs to be chosen. As he and the remaining Lazies agonise over this decision, Q visits the world of Tori to make a bet. The Lazies will compete against the Captain of the Tori and the New Jacks under Mr.X’s judgement. If the Captain loses, Zs will be safely returned to the club. If he wins, he’ll become the new Top Ace and the New Jacks will become Lazies while Odds and the old Lazies will be banished to the world of Tori. Who will be chosen?

SPECIAL LIVE 2016

Club Slazy has a Red VS White singing competition! It’s Deep as captain of the “garnet red” team versus Cool Beans as captain of the “angel feather white” team. But this isn’t just repeat performances from the previous stage plays; the cast covers each other’s solo songs in this special year end spectacle!

Extra Invitation ~Malachite~

Q has disappeared from Club Slazy. Is he on vacation? Did he get tired of everyone and leave? Or has he... been kidnapped? The drama is currently ongoing as of this date. You can find more information about it in this post and how to watch it as it airs in this post. 

Still need more information? Feel free to drop me an ask about the story, the characters, or anything Slazy-related.

*This stage upload is not mine. If it breaks, there’s nothing I can do about it. I included it in this post since it’s already on a public site and it’s a recording of a free stream that used to be on GYAO. If you enjoy Club Slazy, please support the official production!
