STAGEism - February 2017

STAGEism is a Kageki feature where 4 siennes answer several different questions about their techniques and goals onstage. This issue featured Tenma Michiru, Matsukaze Akira, Satsuki Aina, and Shirotae Natsu.

STAGEism - February 2017

1. Something you work on doing as a performer 2. The role that has affected you the most 3. Your favorite warmup method 4. The aspect you focus on in stage makeup 5. Your goal as a performer

Tenma Michiru, Flower Troupe 1. While following the guidelines for each show given by the director, I want to leave an impression as 'Tenma Michiru'. 2. CODE HERO's Kenneth. Ever since I was in that show, even now, I'll keep thinking 'what became of him after all that...?' (Since his ultimate fate isn't shown...) 3. I do core training with Yuugiri Rai-san. (Nickname: Beautiful Body Time) 4. It's the 'base'. I'm always studying how to do the initial foundation in order to make a round face look long, or, since I'm baby-faced, how to look like a middle-aged guy. 5. I want to make people think 'That's so Taso' or 'This is truly Tenma Michiru~' in the best possible way.

Matsukaze Akira, Cosmos Troupe 1. When I'm onstage, I want to convey everything I'm thinking or feeling to the audience, so whatever happens I want to confront it clearly and sincerely, and I value the importance of continuing the legacy of everything that's come before me. 2. A role that's really affected me... John Shakespeare, from Shakespeare, I think. I was struck once again by how difficult acting really is, and also I couldn't really separate myself from the role in the end so I feel like some part of myself was integrated into him. I felt afterwards 'I must learn more about how character creation!!' 3. It depends how I feel when I wake up each morning! I'll use a StretchPole*, or an exercise ball, or some days I'll emphasize strength training... Also, I make sure never to leave the house without soaking in the bath!! That's my daily routine!! 4. Having a 3-dimentional foundation. I think it's really important to the total makeup presentation for the contouring to be attractive and natural-looking! 5. I want to be a performer who can have an effect on each and every person in the audience. Also, if just one more person decides they are glad they discovered Takarazuka I will be happy.

Satsuki Aina, Snow Troupe 1. My belief is that a person's real qualities are reflected onstage, so I endeavor every day to be an excellent woman and human being. 2. It's so hard to choose one...but actually, Isabella from Don Carlos was my first large role, so I was giving it my all to get over the new barriers in front of me. 3. I do slow stretches of various muscle groups using a StretchPole. 4. I think eye expression is really important, so I'm careful about line width and shading. 5. I want to be able to change the atmosphere within the theatre at will.

Shirotae Natsu, Star Troupe 1. At the root of it I think it's a matter of 'living' onstage, but also having a sence of gratitude and an inner transparency that can take on any aspect - I want to be able to 'catch' anything that comes my way. 2. Paulina, from The Seagull. I was really able to experience how that role came to life. 3. It depends on the situation that day, what shape I'm in, or what advice I've been given. 4. I do my makeup while trying to have a sense of what it is to breathe life into 'Shirotae Natsu'. 5. I want to have many facets and be a performer who makes people say 'wow, she has style!'

* This is a stretch assistance device trademarked in Japan; I’m not sure if it exists in the west under a different name.

Finished watching “Flying Sapa” a few days ago, and what can I say...

It is definitely not the kind of theatrical play to lift up the mood and it was even difficult for me to watch some parts, however I was very interested in the story, the staging, the atmosphere and the characters.

I am not usually into Soragumi productions but the actresses were all very convincing to me (especially Hoshikaze Madoka, Makaze Suzuho, Yumeshiro Aya, Homare Seri, Matsukaze Akira) and we are lucky that Ueda Kumiko-Sensei started directing and staging for the Takarazuka <3

BLCD Review: Dekoboko Sugar Days

Title: Dekoboko Sugar Days (凸凹シュガーデイズ)

Release Date: 2019/03/22

Author/Artist: Yusen Atsuko

Cast: Yamashita Seiichirou x Yashiro Taku

Synopsis:

Yuujirou Matsukaze has been close friends with Rui Hanamine since the two of them were children, and at that time, Yuujirou was the one who stood up for and took care of his adorable, soft-hearted friend. But as it turns out, Yuujirou's childhood dreams end up growing a little too big to handle - or, rather, too tall! At over six feet in height, the cheerful and happy-go-lucky Rui towers over his would-be protector... and still has no idea Yuujirou's had a crush on him since they were kids! (ANN)

Review Proper

I gotta be honest with you, I hated this. I will be very brutal in this review, so please don’t read this if you can’t take seeing it be torn apart. This is only my personal view and I have my own preferences, so if you’re a fan of the series, please don’t take offense. 🙇‍♀️

It has the most generic, predictable, and cliché plot I’ve ever come across in my life. I’m this close to calling it trash. It’s like a poor man’s Goshujinsama wa Ouji ga Suki where Kanade’s supersized. You know how there’s an abundance of situations, back stories, and personalities out there you could choose from? Well, this work chose only the overused ones and didn’t even bother to execute them well.

Mistaken gender first love transcending into present time? Hero and height complex? Painfully obtuse characters whose mutual feelings are as clear as day but don’t know how to communicate? Weak-ass third party appearances? A fucking rain scene? Falling into a ditch? Slipping on a banana peel? SLIPPING ON A BANANA PEEL ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS And a lousy chase into the sunset? Check, check, and check. Congrats, you’ve just made a 2007 shoujo shitstorm! Ouran High would be put to shame! 👏👏👏

I mean, look at this and tell me that this isn’t forced and unnecessary:

God, it’s branded off as a romcom, but the comedy is so exaggerated and uncomedic that the only thing thing funny about it is how much of a joke the entirety of this manga was. Or was this the kind of comedy they were going for from the start? I really don’t understand why it has that high of a rating with readers. Really? This? There’s a whole lot of works that are considerably better than this one, but to give you a few, I’d suggest you read Gosan no Heart and or Jackass if you prefer extreme sexual tension coupled with darker comedy; any of Taki Nekoze’s works if you want something lighter; and if you want something similar to this one that’s executed seamlessly, then I’d definitely want you to try reading Yoshio Akira’s Goshujinsama wa Ouji ga Suki and Kurahashi Tomo’s Itsuka Koi ni Naru Made.

On the topic of character personality, it seems like Yuujirou’s personality is only running away while Rui’s is being dumb as rocks. Also, why the hell does Rui act and look like Suoh Tamaki while Yuujirou looks and acts like Iwaizumi Hajime?

Moving on to the technicality of things, Yamashita Seiichirou and Yashiro Taku did a pretty decent job on portraying their characters. The chemistry they had with each other was okay and the mattress mambos were fine, but I do have to admit that they did struggle a bit (Yashiro Taku more than Yamashita Seiichirou) with believability and tone changes. Yashiro Taku in particular did not do that well when those two are needed at the same time. Yamashita Seiichirou on the other hand, sounded too airy which is surprising to me because I had thought that to be his natural range. So is his Jude his natural pitch??? That’s deeper than I had expected! The dynamic of this pairing here is similar to that of Saitou Souma and Nakajima Yoshiki’s in Akai Ito but reversed. It’s funny ‘cause I had completely thought Yashiro Taku out to be a total top while Yamashita a bottom—the tables might have been turned. Yamashita can really pull Saitou Souma’s Hiro if he practices it a bit more. I’d like to see him in seme roles with that voice.

As for loyalty to the original content, there were a lot of jumps all throughout the CD. They’ve also rearranged some of the events that take place that even I had a hard time in catching up. This is definitely not for beginners, but if you’re a fan of the series, you do you. I’ve heard that this will be officially released in English, too. Good for Yusen Atsuko, not only did they get a BLCD for this...this thing, but a wider market! I only hope that they get more creative as time passes. There’s no where else to go but up, I guess.

In conclusion, we have a terribly executed plot, decent voice work and chemistry, and a rearranged sequence of events. Man, I actually looked forward to listening and reading this, too. *sigh* This is by far, the worst BLCD I’ve ever heard this year and hopefully, it’s the last.

Hustle Mates ~ Cosmos Troupe 2018

I know I'm here so often it's hardly special anymore… but this trip had the distinction of being my first VACATION in Japan in 5 years. I'd forgotten what mornings look like in this country (and as I'm now back at work for the remaining few days, I already miss them).

It also had the distinction of being Kazuki Sora's first lead. Of my standout favorites in my life thus far as a Takarazuka fan, Sora is the only one who, by some witch magic, grabbed me when she was a tiny child—before I ever set foot in a theater here, before she even got a shinko lead. After growing quite used to following her around the edges of the stage with my opera glasses and mentally cursing camera operators for not panning two inches to the left to get more than a sliver of her arm in some great dance scene, this year brought first an absolute dream role in Anita, followed by the center spotlight that I honestly wasn't convinced she'd ever get. It's been vindicating seeing her immense talents displayed so prominently, and deeply moving in ways utterly different from any of the other cyclones of emotion Takarazuka fandom has thrown upon me. A very non-Soragumi friend had a chance to see the show, and I felt nervous and wary like I was taking an acquaintance to my own child's recital (someone please tell me when I got old enough to experience THAT feeling). And much like a mom, I plan to throw out any attempt at objectivity and rave about my girl until you don't want to listen anymore.

Hustle Mates was primarily a collection of songs and dances from Soragumi history, with a few non-Takarazuka songs, MC sections, and mini skits thrown in. It's a tiny cast of 16, so if you like anyone in it you have a good chance of seeing her featured. Long-time Soragumi fans will likely find it very fun and nostalgic regardless. Sora leading a show about the history of Soragumi which contains a great number of songs with the word sora in them made it kind of sound like she was singing about herself for two hours, which greatly amused me (and apparently tickled Ishida-sensei too).

Act 1 opens with two original songs—the very upbeat Hustle Mates theme, and then more of a ballad (also with ample use of the word SORA)—followed by a selection of songs from some of the most well-known Soragumi musicals: Copacabana, Phantom, Top Hat, Singin' in the Rain, and an Elisabeth medley, which despite the general overuse of Elisabeth songs was still my favorite. Watashi Dake Ni was a group musumeyaku number, Mikaze Maira got to unleash her very impressive pipes on that last note. Saigo no Dance also started as a group otokoyaku number. Moeko entered partway through for a solo line, and I know she has the shinko Tod experience under her, but since I've never seen that, it was maybe the most surprising and powerful few seconds of Moeko I've ever witnessed. Then Sora came in to finish the song, and in some alternate universe where she's in a different class and tall enough to be a top star I'd sell both of my kidneys to see her Elisabeth every single day of the run. Sora solo Kitsch came next and was likewise flawless, so I guess I'll be satisfied with keeping my kidneys if they finally air that dang shinko in the next couple of months while Tsukigumi is playing.

Then we have a skit… I'm a bit fuzzy on exactly what went on in it, but I suspect I might be looking for sense where there was none. Setohana Mari enters dressed like a dominatrix, loudly cracking whip and all, with two other musumeyaku guards of Partial Time Prison. They do a roll call of past Soragumi characters who come out one by one and make meta jokes about themselves (discussing their offenses?) while the three guards smack them around. Sora is brought out last, as Lucheni, and gives a long speech, the punchline of which is he's on the path to reform thanks to his new life selling green juice mix in what is probably a pyramid scheme. Each performance she ad-libbed Louis and Marie Antoinette off the stage.

Moeko and Mineri who were playing Jose and Carmen in prison stick around to sing Temptation (GREAT song, I wanted a little more from these two) while the underclassmen get ready to sing Amapola a cappella conducted by Homare Seri. This was QUITE impressive, and I love it when they use Bow to give underclassmen little challenges like this. Act 1 ends with a medley of the Soragumi revue songs that got the most votes in the internet poll they ran a few months ago. They aren't listed individually in the program and I'm probably missing something, but off the top of my head I remember Millennium Challenger, Dancing For You, Funky Sunshine, Nice Guy, Phoenix Takarazuka, and Hot Eyes. Sora singing Funky Sunshine (SO—RA— POWER) was HIGHLY satisfying. They finish on Asu e no Energy, which still made me cry even though I JUST saw Citrus Breeze… but put my kid in the center of a song that always makes me cry anyway and I guess that's what you get.

Act 2 was less nostalgic and more interesting to me, probably because Sora's dance scenes multiplied significantly. They opened with a nihonmono medley, beginning with a Soran dance which I LOVED (the one from Viva Festa always gets me hyped too). Sora entered Takarazuka with a background in hip hop dance which I think always gives her movements a particular dynamic energy and a sharpness that sets her apart even from the other great Takarazuka dancers, but it stood out to me even more than usual in the Soran scene, probably in contrast to the traditional Japanese garb. I REALLY LOVED IT (even if I can imagine nichibu purists cringing). During my first two viewings of the show I was mostly overwhelmed and ecstatic that Sora had gotten a lead at all, but the last one, particularly in the Soran scene for whatever reason, it hit me HARD how much she's grown and how commanding and enthralling she is on stage.

After we spend a bit more time reliving Soragumi's very brief nihonmono history through song, there's a "rain corner" featuring a folk song that I rather like and a skit that made me feel COMPLEX THINGS. Mappu (Matsukaze Akira) plays some kind of rain god/wizard/???, in a whimsically decorated raincoat with two cute little ghosts hanging off her umbrella. Sora enters playing a guy out for a walk in the park in the rain where he meets a girl (Mineri) who lets him share her umbrella, and when the rain stops she asks him what he's doing in the park in the rain without one. BEAR WITH ME HERE: he explains he felt like coming to visit the spot where his dog Liza died, on a rainy day just like this one, after running away from their car (side note, I hope they named the dog Liza because Mineri's name is a play on Minelli?? Is it even?? There's a good ochakai question 6 days too late). He reminisces about all the tricks Liza could do, and Mineri imitates them. He shows her a picture of Liza, and surprisingly they're wearing the same dress?! It becomes evident that Mineri is actually the human form spirit of Sora's late pet, granted a few precious moments on earth by Rain Wizard Mappu to talk to her former owner, thank him, and say goodbye… she disappears with Mappu before Sora fully figures it out. HERE'S THE THING: As WTF?? as this entire concept is, Sora's acting was so damn heartbreaking I TEARED UP on the THIRD VIEWING even though I TOTALLY KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT?? I'm GENUINELY ANGRY that she took THIS SKIT and managed to MAKE ME CRY, and now I'm also praying to all the gods that this isn't her last lead, because I NEED to see her in a proper play with a proper partner. Where do I sacrifice the goats?

Next the whole team sings a song from Never Say Goodbye, leading up to Sora coming out for a solo barefoot dance, custom engineered to wound me as gravely as possible. Setohana Mari follows this up with an attempt at If I Were a Bell from Guys & Dolls, with brilliant all-in drunk acting but barely recognizable English (A for effort given the speed of the song though).

AND THEN

Okay. There's a rare special thing that I've now had the… fortune? I guess? of experiencing twice, that I hope you all get to experience someday, not because it's good or fun but just because it's An Experience. Sometimes there are secret little treats hidden in Takarazuka shows just for the foreigners. They're secret because I am pretty sure the directors have no idea what treats they are. And sometimes, through a combination of luck and the kindest friends, you make it to your first viewing with no spoilers, and a song starts playing that you recognize within half a note, and you begin having an experience so separate from every other person in the theater you feel as though you might as well be floating above the audience with all their disapproving gazes drilling into you, wondering what the heck you're doing up there when clearly the place for you is down here. The first time was when I waltzed unassuming into HOT EYES!! in an era when my feelings re: Soragumi were "I guess I have to watch them if I want to see Sora," and in my heart-pounding state of shock brought about by the first however many scenes Eye of the Tiger began to play, and out came involuntarily a VERY noticeable raspberry spit of quickly stifled laughter (before Makaze's everything shut me right the heck up).

The second was when amidst the polite applause following Secchan's Ding Dong Ding, the curtain rose on the remainder of the cast beginning a fiercely literal staging of the entirety of Bohemian Rhapsody in English. There are so many things to unpack:

Mikaze Maira, playing a literal mother, opens the number by emotionally reading a literal letter from her literal son who has literally gone off to war

The others, with Sora in the center, are playing soldiers armed with sizable rifles, portraying the horrors of war via aggressive interpretive dance

Sora's English, while certainly not flawless, was SO PASSABLE, especially when compared to a) history in general and b) specifically Can't Take My Eyes Off of You from 2 years ago, I was FULLY SHOOK

Her dancing and acting in this number were SO FRIGGIN GOOD I could DIE

The performance overall was SO PASSIONATELY ACTED and thus SO DISTRESSING that people in the audience were CRYING from BEING MOVED to the point where later in the run they BEGAN SNIFFLING BEFORE THE NUMBER EVEN STARTED

It forced me for the first time in my life to sit down and hella contemplate the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, the conclusion of which was a) yeah that sure was a 500% valid interpretation of the lyrics and b) there is absolutely no way I could ever begin to explain to a Japanese person why in my culture it's a FUNNY SONG

I was EXTRA TICKLED that Kotti, who can't speak above a whisper off stage, was the one who got to run up onto a box and scream SO YOU THINK YOU CAN STONE ME AND SPIT IN MY EYE

Every viewing my body shook so hard from the effort it took to keep myself from making any sort of noise I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in my row could feel the tremors and I am honestly still tired just thinking about it

If this is cut I’m making a GoFundMe for the rights. Everyone start saving now please.

As a palate cleanser, Mineri sings a pop ballad in a gorgeous gown before the proper kuroenbi to Ai, which is a song that has a lot of nostalgic value for me personally, making it a very emotional backdrop to Sora leading an otokoyaku dance with the top star sparkles on her tailcoat and hitting that final pose with a heart-shattering bang. They reprise the two original theme songs for the parade, and that's Hustle Mates.

Additional notes from my particular viewings: I had a lucky aisle seat where Hanaki Maia, who I'm pretty obsessed with, serenaded me, and Mappu gave me a great smile and a little hand squeeze in lieu of a high five. I am completely charmed by Kotti, she's like a Great Dane that grew up and still thinks it's a lap dog—striking otokoyaku on the outside and a sweet shy earnest inside that hasn't quite caught up yet. Senshuuraku should be the day that shows up on Sky Stage eventually, but in the Partial Time Prison scene Homare Seri (playing Rhett Butler) started a really awkward slow clap with the audience in an attempt to ad lib, then had no idea where she wanted to go with it so she just gave SoraLucheni a big hug, and Moeko got flustered, decided that was enough, and cut off everyone’s laughter and applause by stepping in front of the action and saying her next line as loudly as possible.

My raku seat was close range, and after watching Sora’s perfectly calculated facial expressions, and the tiny backlit beads of sweat flying off her brow as she danced her heart out in HER SHOW, I'd sit in lava for her I love her so deeply.

I hope that the power of anime, which is a representative of Japanese culture, will increase the number of badminton fans in Japan and around the world."

The first and fourth volume covers:

Asaka Manato’s #1! - Part 2

In this GRAPH feature from 2016, troupe members were asked to vote on their favorite on- and offstage things about their top stars. Asaka’s was published in the November issue.

This is the second half of the feature that I began posting last time. In part 2, the troupe members vote on their favorite things about her personality off-stage and things she does while performing.

Note: Like Part 1, Asaka’s comments are in italics.

Asaka Manato’s #1 - Part 2

We love this about her in rehearsals!

#1 - How she notices each and every member of the troupe (33 votes)

“When I’m struggling with a role or something like that, she gives such valuable advice!” - Rinjou Kira

No, no, I keep consulting you for all kinds of things!

“She gives advice to each and every junior actress and takes them out for yakiniku 💖” - Fuuma Kakeru

Ahaha! (laughs) Well~ If we go out to eat or something, I can learn more about everyone, and it makes it easier to give advice, that’s all. I went out with the Black Angels, too. An underworld rally! (laughs)

#2 Her eye power (10 votes)

#2 How she always greets people with a smile (10 votes)

#4 The difference between her on- and off-stage personas (9 votes)

“With her nails she can’t open a can of juice… 💖 (It’s too cute, the gap is too cute!!)” - Makaze Suzuho

I couldn’t open anything with Der Tod’s nails. So, I went to Yurika (Makaze) who was nearby like ‘Open it for me~’ (laughs).

Other:

“The way she’ll fire off a wink when our eyes meet 💖 It’s just so cool 💖 💖″ - Hoshibuki Ayato

I only do this with Monchi (Hoshibuki)! Since during TOP HAT it made her blush so much and I thought it was funny (laughs). It’s not that I’m flirting with everybody! (laughs)

From Misaki Rion

“Her ability to focus! The way she changes is so impressive to me!!”

Although I’m scatterbrained by nature, I’ve realized that being able to focus is really important so I’ve learned how as I went along.

We want her to do this! From musumeyaku

#1 - Wink (8 votes)

“I want her to 💖 wink 💖 at me with those bewitching Hot Eyes!! 👁” - Mikaze Maira

I’ll do it whenever you like!

#2 - Hug (7 votes)

“I want her to pull me in with one arm! With a line like “Oh, be careful!!”. With those big hands 💖 💖” - Risaki Shigure

Ahaha (laughs)

#3 - From Elisabeth, Der Tod’s… (4 votes)

“The scene where Der Tod tries to seduce Elisabeth in her bedroom is so alluring, so I want her to try that with me.” - Mizune Shiho

The movements in that scene were things I thought of that they incorporated into the show. That’s great if it had an impression on you!

#4 - Dance (3 votes)

“I want her to be my escort for a duet dance.” - Junya Chitose

Eh~ I’d definitely end up laughing! (laughs) But I’ll do it!

From Misaki Rion

“I want her to pat my head while gazing into my eyes (laughs) 💖 💖″

“I want to exchange cheek kisses with her like in TOP HAT!! It’s so heart-pounding!!”

This is the most variety you’ve had yet! So extravagant! (laughs)

We want to emulate this! From otokoyaku

#1 - The way she uses her hands and arms (11 votes)

Oh~ I’m happy!

“My hands are small, and I have a real complex about it...Asaka-san also apparently has small hands (although they don’t look that way at all), so I want to learn more about how to gesture so my hands look bigger.” - Aizuki Hikaru

“The way she moves her long hands.” - Rukaze Hikaru

My arms are long so I used to be self-conscious about that, so if I am seen this way as an otokoyaku...It’s nice~

#2 - Dance (6 votes)

“For TOP HAT, she studied Fred Astaire’s movement so much. It was so impressive that as soon as I went to see it the first time I was so excited that I rushed to get a standing ticket for the second show (laughs).” - Matsukaze Akira

Right, right! Isn’t that cu~te? Cosmos Troupe is full of people who are so intent on research. Cosmos Troupe rules! (laughs)

#3 - The way she uses her eyes (4 votes)

#3 - From Elisabeth, Der Tod’s… (4 votes)

“All her gestures in the scene where she creeps into Elisabeth’s bedroom were so sexy. I want to be able to emulate them!” - Rui Makise

But don’t you think that’s a little too outside of normal situations to be useful!? (laughs)

Other:

“The way she wears suits 💖 So wonderfully sharp.” - Makaze Suzuho

Eh~! I have no idea! (laughs) Oh, but when I put on a suit, it really makes me remember how Osa-san (Haruno Sumire) would move.

“The way she embraces the musumeyaku! I can feel how much affection she has!! I would love to emulate that.” - Mirei Jun

Do it~!! I want to see Yuichii (Mirei) do that! (laughs)

Final comments

Ah~ having everyone praise me makes me feel so nice somehow~ (laughs). It makes me so happy to know that this is what people thing. It makes me feel like I should work even harder. Thank you so much, everyone! Let’s keep doing our best together!!
