10 years, 10 top stars

Today is my blog's 10TH BIRTHDAY 🥳🥳🥳

To celebrate, I'm going to do 10 streams showcasing 10 of my all time favorite top stars!

(This will be done over, idk, some amount of time, at absolutely not a regular cadence, because unfortunately I live a busy life).

BUT! We're gonna start this week. In no particular order other than I decided to go recent first...

10 years 10 top stars profile #1: Nozomi Fuuto

A few reasons I love Daimon:

My like, very first glimmer of a zuka crush in the infant beginnings of my fandom, before Takawiki existed, when you had to personally know someone on livejournal or in a yahoo group who recorded physical DVDs off TV while they were on JET to watch anything ever, was Minoru Kou. Circa my 2013 re-entry into fandom, I noticed Daimon because I thought she looked like Noru.

The voice, obviously. If you haven't heard it live, put it on your bucket list (and make sure your long awaited exposure isn't in Theater Orb). It hits you in the chest and reverberates in your mitochondria.

The juxtaposition of the raw talent with a relatable combo of crippling perfectionism and general anxiety. Like, really, you can play a Death good enough to resurrect me from clinical depression, but you can't flirt with a musumeyaku in QR without having a meltdown? Terrible (affectionate).

While she mostly comes off as a lowkey, v. profesh, relatively buttoned-up person, she is afflicted by what one of my friends once called "silly o'clock," i.e., she gets funnier, less inhibited, and more human as she approaches exhaustion. This has manifested in two of the most unexpectedly delightful ochakai I've ever been to (watch Yukigumi College—the thing where she's dressed as Beethoven—for a filmed and preserved example).

Top Daimon memories:

On the 20th Century, IMO her Takarazuka peak, sadly lost to the ages (you can read a scene by scene here if you want)

The way her songs in Gaisenmon made her voice float into the corners of the Grand Theater like butterflies on a gentle breeze

The last Daimon ochakai I ever went to, Bakumatsu Taiyouden, which I'm hoping is beyond the statute of limitations now, where she sang a duet with a recording of Gaori's voice and then burst into tears (wasn't supposed to be the last but alas, global pandemic).

ANYWAY,

Choosing a show was hard because, actually, while I am obsessed with Daimon, I am specifically most obsessed with nibante Daimon, and Chigigumi is peak Yukigumi for me. However, every other fave top is getting their top era streamed, and since my all-time fave Daimon show is lost forever...

Stream #1 will be 『fff / Silk Road』 (Snow 2021)

(fff subbed by adorare)

WHEN: Friday, April 7, 9PM EST (that's NY time, join me while I try to stay awake for Stella Voce but maybe fall asleep after the stream anyway lmao)

WHERE: cytu.be/r/pom-pa-lalala

I'll definitely be shaking up the time zones over the course of these streams, so if this doesn't work for you, stay tuned! Next we'll be going back in time...

[zukadiary]

hello! can you tell us more about why kiki & sora were such a loved combi? i'm currently in mourning...

Oh yes I can….

Once upon a time (circa 2017) before this weird timeline where the future is so uncertain in like, EVERY troupe, Hanagumi looked perfectly set up for years to come, and Soragumi was so horrendously overcrowded with seemingly tracked individuals and high profile upperclassmen that pretty much everyone was waiting to see who would get transferred out. Hankyu, as they are wont to do, responded to this situation by moving full-fledged Hanagumi nibante Serika Toa into Soragumi, without moving anyone out. Everyone was shocked and confused. I remember the exact random bridge near Suitengumae station where I was standing when the news dropped.

Kiki’s first role in Soragumi was to be Bernardo in Makaze’s pre-ohirome, the unfortunately ephemeral West Side Story. Brand new in a troupe that didn’t need her, opposite Sora, who had never been cast in an onnayaku role before, as Anita. They had scarcely met prior to this show. And this was the sole KikiSora origin. I spontaneously bought a plane ticket a few weeks before shonichi and I have never regretted anything less.

Out of nowhere, their chemistry was absolutely indescribable. Sparks flying, chills up the spine, your top combi wishes, you had to see it to believe it, burning molten unforgettable chemistry. Like, I’ve truly been seeking that high ever since.

During the show run, stories also came out (thanks to ochakai, interviews, etc.) about how offstage Kiki and Sora also became fast friends. Sora’s Hanagumi douki told her ahead of time they thought she and Kiki would get along super well. Sora took her onnayaku role seriously and handmade things for Kiki like the musumeyaku frequently do for the otokoyaku. Kiki leaned into their roles and got Sora a somewhat erotic Christmas present based on one of Anita’s lines. Sora sang the theme from Kiki’s Delivery Service at her West Side Story ochakai because Kiki. They acted very close in Skystage programming. Fans freaked out whenever they showed up to iri together. I tried to scroll back in my twitter for more stories but I hit the limit.

Since then, fans have been dying to see them paired closely again, but circumstance has largely prevented it. Too many people between them in rank. They kept appearing in different small theaters. Kiki hasn’t gotten nearly as many leads as she deserves. Before you know it it’s 2021, and they FINALLY get a lead/nibante-esque casting, but it’s bittersweet because it’s Sora’s last show with Soragumi, and it’s disappearing just like West Side Story.

And here we are. I have never been more sorry that something isn’t available for everyone to see, because West Side Story was magical (for more reasons than just Kiki and Sora). It was such a legendary performance for both of them that the KikiSora combi has been living on the residual vibes for almost four years.
