Assets have started to appear for the Thieves Den! For now, the only thing of any interest is these full, completely logo-free versions of the various All Out Attack Finishers that I believe are meant to appear in the gallery:

The original Phantom Thieves have these as well, if anyone wants them.

Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari タリオ 復讐代行の2人 2020, dir. Kimura Hisashi, Yamamoto Toru

[deus-ex-mona]

Do you think Haniwa will ever put out novels for the other Idol Series characters? (FT4, Minami/Nakuru) And would you translate them if they did?

hiii

it’s p much impossible to tell if they’re gonna release novels for them tbh. i mean, they even had novels for side characters (eg misuzu trio and the narumi parents) and complete extras (sekoi trio, who also happened to have the best novels and story btw kanamisa ftw), so ✨who knows✨ which characters this year’s novel will feature

but!!! i really do hope that we’ll get an ft4 novel someday!!!! those losers need to have their story be told!!! (<-extremely starved for ft4 content)

though, if either an ft4, minakuru, nagisa, or masaki trio (delusional) novel comes out, you can bet dai’s fedora that i’m gonna tl it a s a p~~~~~

Radio clip of Maa, Okamura Minami, and Ozeki Mai. Maa talks about paying attention to the sub-rhythms and upbeats in songs like Go Waist and Ai no Gundan. She alludes to how if Tsunku sang those same melodies, hints of those upbeats would even make it into his enunciations. And you can just hear the other two's minds being blown

Talio

Or, Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari. Or, Revenge Agents Duo. This drama sure had its funny moments. And the cases were also rather interesting, especially the mutual revenge, quite chilling that one.

But!

But the main characters simply weren't pushing my buttons in any way. Especially Okada Masaki's Kuroiwa was as flat as a pancake. At the end of the drama I didn't know any more about him than at the very beginning and not because he was supposed to be mysterious, nothing like that. The writers simply didn't bother telling us anything about him besides him being a crook. That was it. Eh.

So, if you like light dramas and you don't mind not getting personally invested in the well-being of the leads, than by all means, this is a drama for you. But if you prefer dramas with at least some stakes, give this one a pass. It's just 7 eps long, true, but you won't miss anything by, well, missing it.

Summary:

On December 31, 2052, in order to prevent the scientist Ryutaro from destroying the world, Xuanzang Jiuzou asked his son Xuanzang Sanzang to select some robots from 99 robots numbered 1-99. Sanzang finally selected five robots: Gokyuu, Tongoh, Jou, Suuji, and Mioto. On January 1, 2053, Ryutaro modified the program of supercomputer Eve and began to destroy the world. In order to protect Sanzang, Zero, the first generation robot manufactured by Jiuzao, was destroyed along with the robots Soichi Fujimura and Souka Fujimura created by Ryutaro. Robot Tai is Wujiu's opponent on the surface, but in fact he is protecting Wujiu and his group. In order to restore the supercomputer Eve's program to its original appearance and return to December 31, 2052 to stop Ryutaro, they must find 49 parts to save the world. Head east! For Abbot (a life form of opportunity) to coexist with humans...

One thousand years in the future, the world has lost its balance. All the giant trees up to 10,000 meters high have been cut down by humans as obstacles. The entire world has turned into a desert. Only humans and Abbot are left in this world that is heading for destruction. As if guided by fate, Sanzang and Gokyuu meet. Traveling together, Sanzou - a young man shrouded in mystery, Gokyuu - the strongest and worst Anbot around, Tongoh - an Anbot fond of drinking, Jou - someone who is great with machines, Suuji - a female Anbot thief, and last but not least, Mioto. And so, their journey begins to the boundless East, to the land where the sun was born!

Figured it might be fun to do these guys as a group! I'll post a poll about their Personas in a moment.

[yuzukahibiscus]

“ENCHANTEMENT” Roundtable Discussion

(A “Roundtable Discussion” is a KAGEKI section magazine, documenting the talk between the director and the actresses about their performances. This time, I’ve translated the Roundtable Discussion of the ongoing current production of “ENCHANTEMENT”. I hope this discussion will allow you to know more about their insights!)

Adaptation/Direction = Noguchi Kousaku

Production = Fujieda Taichi

Actresses = Mikaze Maira, Kaga Ririka, Minami Maito, Yuzuka Rei, Towaki Sea, Hozumi Mahiro, Hoshikaze Madoka, Seino Asuka, Ichinose Kouki, Hoshizora Misaki

(Discussion below the cut, spoilers may follow)

Fujieda: From 2023 January 1 to January 30, Flower Troupe will be performing this revue in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre. Written and directed by Noguchi Kousaku, Takarazuka Spectacular “ENCHANTEMENT – A Luxurious Perfume–”. In French, “ENCHANTEMENT” means “enchantment” or “rapture.” And it is a perfume that captivates the people in this world. With these two meanings as the theme, Yuzuka Rei will lead Flower Troupe to open 2023, inviting you into this glamorous and gorgeous revue world so please look forward to enjoying this magical moment!

Noguchi: In Yuzuka Rei’s stage name, the “Kaori” (香 – meaning scent/fragrance) kanji strikes an impression and from there I can start to imagine and think of creating a revue that has “perfume” as a theme. This performance is also how perfumes are like, comprised of “Top Notes”, “Middle Notes” and Last Notes” and there are various of those characteristics featured. Also, with various kinds of notes as the foundation, this show also includes memorable famous scenes portraying Takarazuka-scented impressions. Before when we were discussing, Yuzuka-san talked about this “power word”. That we hope to deliver this “quality entertainment (performance) to the audience in the Reiwa year reverberating the audiences’ hearts”.

The colourful and vibrant perfumes

Noguchi: First of all, from Chapter 1 to Chapter 4 is the first part of “Top Notes”. Chapter 1 is “ENCHANTEMENT – A Luxurious Perfume – Prologue”. From the music composed by Aoki Tomoko-sensei and choreography arranged by Masaki Rino-sensei, this is a prologue that uses Yuzuka-san’s designed perfume “RAY YUZUKA” as the image. Yuzuka-san plays a perfumer Ray and invites you to an “enchanting night”. When she sprinkles some magic perfume, the world begins to shine in rose-color. Then there would be a two-storey perfume counter which operates like a merry-go-round and then the perfumer and the other performers will open this gorgeous and glamorous revue together. So this is a theme song about my impressions of everyone. Like Minami-san is the “Bewitching Sadistic” who’s sexy and alluring, Hoshikaze-san still has that diva vibe…and continues to sing on the theme song. Later on, Yuzuka-san and Hoshikaze-san share a duet dance and after that they all dance together. It’s like a royal revue with Ziegfeld Follies image.

Yuzuka: As Sensei just said, this show is making us excited in our hearts. But even when we’re just singing in the rehearsals, the song itself is dazzling, and the world view seems to change and transform, simply by listening it is enough to make us hyped up. The costumes have “THE REVUE” kind of style, it is the dream quality (revue). When doing the choreography, it was really fun how everyone thought of how to dance it well and that we’re all working hard for it.

Hoshikaze: I want to quickly experience how the songs and the set would look, and how I could pair along with Yuzuka-san. Even the theme song in the prologue, even if it’s the same song, there’s some changed arrangements, the choreography there…

Yuzuka: It was done by Masaki (Rino)-sensei.

Hoshikaze: Yes, it makes me excited.

Minami: As Sensei explained it, this time I’m looking forward to how the taste of those songs feel and the choreography as well. About the prologue, there were some hints that Sensei noted and I’ll try to practice embodying that “Bewitching Sadistic” vibe.

Mikaze: It’s very rare that there’s this grand opening from the start. I think the prologue also gives people a feeling of celebrating the new year, and we’ll all work to create that ambience together.

Kaga: Sensei combined the Flower Troupe members’ (names) with the perfumes…We’ll do our best as it seems that our personalities can go compatible with the given perfumes in the scenes.

Towaki: Even though Sensei mentioned wanting to let the perfumes be sprayed out from the theatres’ air conditioning with its given theme, that didn’t happen (laughs), we’ll try our best to deliver that atmosphere with the themed scent we are assigned to.

Seino: I’m very happy to sing with Kaga-san in the prologue, who is graduating this time. I think that the Oriental part I’m in has this mysterious vibe.

Hoshizora: The prologue has a wonderful flow. I’ll do my best to make the audience feel like This is superb!

Noguchi: Then in Chapter 2 “CITRUS”, the music composed by Aoki-sensei and the choreography arranged by Mitsui Satoshi-sensei. With the “DOLCE & GABANNA Light Blue” perfume image, we have Citrus Boy Towaki-san, Hozumi-san, Seino-san, Ichinose-san and Yuki (Daiya)-san singing “The beautiful you is like perfume”. Then as long-awaited by many, Kinami Raito-san appears in a daruma style as an otokoyaku…

Everyone: !! (laughs)

Noguchi: This unveils the rockette! Have you five flower boys thought about what name you have for this unit…what’s it going to be?

Towaki: MFG5!

Noguchi: Yes, yes. In the lyrics, we used the english translation of 「清く正しく美しく」which is “Modesty, Fairness and Grace”. (Note: Takawiki offers a literal translation as it to Pure, proper, beautiful). There’s some Takarazuka things about it, and it also serves as an homage to Ziegfeld Follies. We hope to combine the two in this Reiwa era and showcase something contemporary too.

Towaki: The number is a reprise arrangement of what Yuzuka-san in the opening. It’s very cute and stylish so I hope you could really enjoy it.

Seino: It's a wonderful song. Each of us sing a different phrase so I hope we could all show our different characters in it.

Noguchi: Chapter 3 is “AROMANTIC”. From the music composed by Kai Masato-sensei and the choreography arranged by Suzukake Miyuki-sensei, this is based on the “CARON” “POUR UN HOMME” perfume image. Inspired by Paul Verlaine‘s poem “Fêtes galantes”, the setting is a slightly different Paris in the Belle Epoque times in the 19th century. This is a scene portraying young men and women playing in a game of forbidden love in the depths of the Vincennes Woods. Minami-san’s finding her lost lover in the midnight forest. And Seino-san will be playing as an onnayaku (note: Seino Asuka is originally an otokoyaku, playing a male role but she will be playing a woman role in this scene.)

Everyone: Amazing! (cheering)

Noguchi: I used the bolero arranged version of “Pavane pour une infante défunte” by Ravel and the “Suite bergamasque” from Debussy.

Mikaze: Wataru, Haryuu, Itotsuki and I are the chorus singers and we act as the guide to invite you to this alluring forbidden world, a drastic transformation from the start of the scene.

Minami: It’s a wonderful song. It’s a moving song from the start of the dramatic tune so I want to sing it firmly. And I was also pairing up with Seino-san (laughs).

Everyone: (laughs).

Minami: Since the stage was already so gorgeous and mysterious, it was very interesting.

Seino: I had trouble when I started wearing the dress and was learning how to hold the skirt well while dancing. I’ll do my best to make the ambience look graceful.

Noguchi: Then changing from the night of the forest, there’s Chapter 4 “FLORAL”. This is the scene with the “CHANEL” N°5 perfume impression, a musical portraying how the men and women mingle in love in the stage of New York. The music is composed by Teshima Kyouko-sensei and the choreography arranged by Mitsui-sensei. I’ve also asked Lowland Jazz for the recorded performance. What if Fred Astaire and Marilyn Monroe performed together...expanding that imagination, I wanted to create a chic and fancy scene that looked like a show from the time when Ooura Mizuki-san was Top Star. Yuzuka-san plays as that Astaire and when she takes the perfume to her hands, some beautiful girls appear and later on, the scene reveals some perfume-bottled buildings. Hoshikaze-san plays as the Marilyn Monroe girl and she dances a duet dance with Yuzuka-san. Finally, everyone comes together and dance. I’ve used songs from New York-related composers such as George Gershwin’s “Somebody Loves Me”, Rodgers and Hart “Manhattan” and Cole Porter’s “You’re the Top”.

Yuzuka: I’m so grateful to be part of this wonderful scene. I respect Mr Astaire deeply and I learnt various things by watching Flower Troupe’s great senior Ooura Mizuki-san. The opportunity to challenge this scenes makes my heart quaking in rejoice. This is a pure, playful scene that have points I should definitely not overlook so I’ll do my very best in rehearsing this to make the audience feel this was a fantastic scene! I also found it fun that the musumeyaku were a little coquettish and cute. And of course the famous Miss Marilyn has an amazing entrance. Everyone was also shouting and are very hped.

Towaki: It’s hyped, isn’t it?

Yuzuka: With such a splendid entrance, everyone would probably imitate that when they return home (laughs).

Everyone: (laughs).

Hoshikaze: I really want to dance from the bottom of my heart, paying respect to everyone so that I can deliver the wonder of that scene to the audience.

Towaki: I’ll do my best to make this turn out chic and fancy. All of the girls there were cute.

Yuzuka: So, so cute! Please type that in bold (laughs). (Note: Kageki didn’t but I did lol...)

Everyone: (laughs)

Yuzuka: The otokoyaku dance moves are so great.

Towaki: People would probably think this looks hard. Since it’s essential to show something apart from dancing, it’s quite a challenge.

Yuzuka: I have to stand out as the person that’s having fun amongst others who are cohesive in dancing. In order to show that contrast, I discuss with others the way to establish their various personalities precisely and we work our best with it.

Towaki: Yes, please take care of us.

Yuzuka: Let’s work hard!

Hoshikaze: I’ll try to look into how to create that coquettish, adorable vibe and I’m devoting it all in rehearsals, hoping that we’ll all be hyped up when we perform this part.

Yuzuka: Our duet dance was mischievous and it felt like a conversation.

Hoshikaze: That’s right.

Towaki: There seems to be something sparking of chemistry just between the two of you.

Yuzuka: All those shouting, having fun and simple moves... this scene already struck an impression to me from the very start.

Noguchi: Then comes to the second part of “Middle Notes”. Chapter 5 is “Oriental”. The music is composed by Aoki-sensei and the choreography is arranged by Hayama Kiyomi-sensei. This scene was based of the impression from the “YVES SAINT LAURENT OPIUM” exotic perfume impression. First, the Pucchini opera of “Nessun dorma” is arranged such that you could listen to Seino-san, Towaki-san and Minami-san all sing to their different styles. Then continuing on, this is a CHUUZUME comprising of a collab mix from the legendary director Tetsuzō Shirai-sensei, who wrote Chinese famous pieces. Then, Yuzuka-san will sing “The Red Opium”, the theme song of Gu Bijin that is closely related to Flower Troupe (the show Gu Bijin was performed by Flower Troupe twice). Later, Yuzuka-san and Hoshikaze-san dance to a duet dance of “The Song of Love” in “The Emperor and The Witch”. Later everyone dances and invites the audience to participate in the choreography by using the fan that is sold in Quatre Reves. This is a extravaganza Chinese-styled club in the midnight.

Yuzuka: “Gu Bijin” was Minami and my second performance as Flower Troupe members, so I’m very happy to sing that song and dance to the choreography. Since there’s an exotic scent when you smell the “OPIUM” perfume, we hope to deliver this feeling for the audience to imagine this scent. I’m also looking forward to see what kind of duet dance I’d be dancing with Madoka-san (Hoshikaze)

Hoshikaze: How would my duet dance with Yuzuka-san turn out to be…for sure the scenery would feel different instantly and I hope to show a sexy and tempting appearance.

Minami: It’s been a while since we danced to Hayama-sensei’s choreography so I’m nervous and glad at the same time. There’s a task of how to strike a balance with the wonderful arranged tune and the costumes. I hope to dance to the amazing choreography confidently with my body and will do my best in rehearsals to present that.

Towaki: It’s rare that otokoyaku would hold fans but there’s a sexy and mysterious vibe to it so this fantastic scene really makes me excited. This time I have to challenge singing the songs in a scat vibe but I don’t think I’ve been able to do that yet, so I’ll work earnestly for it during the rehearsals.

Seino: I hope to deliver the “OPIUM” scent from singing and combined with Hayama-sensei’s choreography, I want to invite you this kind of world. It’s quite difficult to use a fan well, but I’m excited to see how we’re going to dance with the audience.

Noguchi: The music of Chapter 6 “Woody & Marine” was composed by Oota Takeshi and the choreography by Mitsui-sensei. With the theme of “JO MALONE LONDON”’s “WOOD SAGE & SEA SALT COLOGNE” perfume scent, this is a scene in the Italian seaside where young couples sing about their youth. Hoshizora-san sings a contemporary-arranged “I’ll Tell Me Ma” with the musumeyaku. Towaki-san and other beautiful sailor boys hold the boat oars, singing and dancing to the Irish Song “The Water Is Wide” and “John Ryan’s Polka”, the song that was used in the third-class cabin party scene in the movie “TITANIC”.

Everyone: Wow–!

Towaki: Amongst from the trendy, the forbidden love and other mature scenes, this becomes a lighter scene that’s brighter and more open, bringing a refreshing change to the ambience.

Seino: This is the first time that I’ve received Mitsui-sensei’s choreography in the performances I’ve done so I’m looking forward to dancing Sensei’s amazing choreography in the Grand Theatre.

Noguchi: I thought this would be the scene to show the charms of our young performers.

Towaki, Seino: We’ll do our best.

Noguchi: Then there’s Chapter 7 “Musk”. The music is composed by *Takahashi Megumi* and *SHUN-sensei.* With the image of “Frederic Malle”’s “Musc Ravageur”, this was a mix of songs composed by Cole Porter. Yuzuka-san and Minami-san sing “From This Moment On” with suaveness, going to a midnight club exclusive to male members. The men compete with their sexy aura, going in a dance patrol that is full of wild, sexy and dynamic moves. Arranging it with “It’s All Right With Me”, we deliver to you the scent of Musk. The red curtains open to a large deer set in the club, where all the otokoyaku-san are assembled and I want to showcase that ultimate edition of this otokoyaku number in Yuzuka Rei era.

Yuzuka: This was the first time we’ve received SHUN-sensei’s choreography and a great challenge now is how to take Sensei’s ideas and integrate them into our body and feelings. The scene shouldn’t end with just how cool the men looked, but it’s also about how to establish that in our body movements to deliver the idea of delivering the scent of the song and how to fully showcase the totality of male pheromones standing out.

Minami, Towaki, Seino: (nods)

Yuzuka: The impact of the stage set is powerful so we need to become an even surpassing presence to conquer! The presence of the deer! And for that we continue to rehearse.

Everyone: (erupting in laughter)

Minami: I’ll cherish the choreography that Sensei created and show something that’s unique to me. As if I want to show my true colours and scents, and in a good sense use our strengths to compete each other and demonstrate that this is the Flower Troupe otokoyaku of Yuzuka Rei’s time and in this generation.

Towaki: I believe it’s vital to grasp Sensei’s nuance when I practice this choreography. I hope this otokoyaku number could go down in Flower Troupe history.

Seino: Grapsing Sensei’s nuance and being familiar with the feeling of it in my body is hard but I’ll experiment it within my body and try my best to deliver that scene.

Noguchi: The music of Chapter 8 “Gourmand” is composed by *Saitou Tsuneyoshi-sensei* and the choreography arranged by SHUN-sensei. The “Thierry Mugler” “ANGEL” perfume bottle is in the shape of a star and I’ve decided to create this scene with this perfume. In a post-modern world, life is absent in this barren earth and some remaining stars sing and dance for new life to manifest…and it’s a scene glorifying how life is wonderful. “Gourmand” represents a fragrant scent that’s tasty like sweets. Hoshikaze-san sings while the STARS dance with THE STAR, Yuzuka-san. Then finally when everyone sings the chorus, Yuzuka-san dance powerfully with the others. It feels like “Sinnerman” avant-garde of a modern “Nova Bossa Nova”, but this is healing and cleansing for the soul…I hope this would feel like a sweet scent enveloping and embracing this dark world.

Yuzuka: For the “Musk” scene, it was amazing to catch the melody of the tune and feel the body movement, studying when to shift our gravity and focus. I already felt how Sensei was so sensitive to such details so this time for this star scene, I’m looking forward to what kind of choreography it would be like. I’d be happy to interact with everyone on stage and dance to this scene.

Hoshikaze: It was such a wonderful song.

Minami: It was very beautiful.

Hoshikaze: There’s this grand dramatic aura that could almost move you to tears when you hear it, so I’m honoured to sing it. There’s a great theme to it that when Yuzuka-san and everyone as the stars dance to this song, it’s like they’re trying to revitalise life, and also manifest that on the earth, and the lyrics also included the subtext (of the revue) “Luxurious Perfume” and the chorus had such a rich harmony…I’m looking forward to the choreography and everything of this scene.

Noguchi: Part 3 “Last Notes” is the FINALE. Chapter 9 is “YVES SAINT LAURENT”’s new perfume LIBRE” and we deliver this medley mashed up with famous musical songs. The music is composed by Oota-sensei. First, Minami-san, Towaki-san and Seino-san form an awesome 11-people team dancing to the contemporary-arranged “MACK THE KNIFE”, introducing to you the Flower Troupe otokoyaku you should look out for. Yuzuka-san and the musumeyaku-san dance to “MY FAIR LADY”’s “On the street where you live”, continuing with the otokoyaku black swallowtail ensemble from a mixup of “Come Dance With Me” “Shall We Dance” “I Could Have Danced All Night”, presenting to you a chic and cool dance. All of the above choreography is done by Suzukake-sensei. The duet dance is choreographed by Hayama-sensei, and with the classical “Some Enchanted Evening” song, I hope this gives a supreme Takarazuka vibe. And about that, the french of enchanted in “SOME ENCHANTED EVENING” is the title “ENCHANTEMENT”. I used a medley version of this song before the Prologue and now it connects back in full circle. Then the parade takes from the “Modesty, Fairness and Grace” motif: “The violets / Are bestowed with God’s grace / The Flowers / Would have that fragrance for many years to come / Now and ever more”, highlighting the theme of this performance with these lyrics.

Welcoming 2023 glamorously

Hoshizora: I hope to embrace the new year with the audience glamorously and do my very best.

Noguchi: Hoshizora-san will be doing the Etoile this time.

Hoshizora: Even though it’s a nervous way to start eh new year (laughs), I’ll devote my. all in rehearsals.

Seino: I want to approach this performance delicately and present the kind of perfumes that inspired each scene and will sincerely perform on stage.

Towaki: When you watch this show, it’s really a magical feeling so I’ll do my best to deliver a great performance.

Kaga: I’m graduating from this performance so I hope to deliver the perfume vibe paired up with each scene. Even if this is the last time I’m sharing this time with everyone in Flower Troupe to work out the process, I hope to be inspired by everyone and become a part of Flower Troupe’s strength to work hard in the rehearsals.

Mikaze: As we’ve said, I have faith that everyone would have a great 2023 with this gorgeous show, no doubt! (laughs) Now in this time, there’s not much time we could communicate and interact,  so I’ll treasure the time to have fun with everyone in the CHUUZUME.

Minami: This really is a show that we could enjoy showcasing these various scents to you all. I’ll work hard in rehearsals, remembering the motto of “Modesty, Fairness and Grace” as a Takarazuka sienne so that the audience could also feel that this would be an amazing year.

Hoshikaze: As Noguchi-sensei mentioned about the composition (of this show), I’m more motivated to perform well in this. In order to welcome this new year wonderfully with everyone, I’ll do my best and remaining gratitude for everything I do and work hard.

Yuzuka: In hopes that everyone who’d be coming to the Takarazuka Grand Theatre, and everyone watching in the livestreams to have a happy new year, I want us to create a performance making everyone feel this year is going to be great. I think perfumes can be a fond and deep memory to people that they think of their memories, they imagine the future, they aspire to visit the countries they haven’t been to and I want this performance to look something like that with this special influence. The power of perfumes is always great but I want us to deliver the respective perfumes in the scenes in our performance so that the audience could be enveloped with this scent when they come to watch us.

Noguchi: The first Takarazuka show I watched was “Fascination II -Neo Egoist!-” but I still remember how memorable it was that the performers can deliver their scents to the audience when the curtains raise at the start of the show. Of course, they didn’t wear perfumes, but I want to create a performance that the audience was able to imagine that there was such perfume with their imagination. Also it’s like taking your lucky bag to watch this revue going on your first shrine visit in the new year and I want you to feel satisfied. Let’s embrace shonichi first and let’s pray for a good health that we could perform successfully until Senshuuraku and work hard. Let’s all do well!

Everyone: Let’s all do well!

(Note: Takarazuka performances did not finish all successfully, having a suspension in performances from January 10 to January 19, the Takarazuka newcomers’ performance was cancelled. But the Tokyo performances were all performed without fail, and we finally had our newcomers’ performance recorded more than 3 years since the last time in Tokyo.)
