All the Long Nights (2024, Japan)

Director: Sho Miyake

Writers: Kiyoto Wada & Sho Miyake (based on the novel by Maiko Seo)

Mini-review:

I've been hearing a lot of praise for this movie, and now I can understand where it's coming from. It gives visibility to two disorders that barely get any representation (premenstrual syndrome and panic disorder), but it never falls into melodrama. Instead, it focuses on the strange but endearing friendship that grows between the two leads. Mone Kamishiraishi and Hokuto Matsumura share sweet chemistry, and their performances are up to the task this story offers. The film is very low-key, so some people might feel like nothing happens, but the sensitive writing and the beautiful cinematography make All the Long Nights more than worth a watch.

stuff from interview about p4u2

this is some summarized tidbits from another interview in the issue of persona magazine where soejima goes "why do people like adachi idgi". tbh, i dont think any of it is actually new, but i believe this is the third or fourth interview i've read where someone from arcsys or atlus goes, "WOMEN LIKE ADACHI".

i am starting to think the dudes at atlus are jealous of adachi. women like shitty video game murderers?! tch, this world really has gone to shit!

since p4u, devs heard users asking for adachi, and they would liked to have shown what he was up to after p4, but the issue was, what kind of form would he take in the game?

(this is my interpretation, but i think what wada means is like... would it seriously actually 100% be adachi like the actual guy? versus say... erm... like how sho has a fake ikutsuki that some of the story routes run into? cause the whole "fake shadow" thing lets them use any character.)

the devs went over the details with the people who worked on p4 and came up with something, and so adachi appears in the home console version. there was also a spoiler issue since adachi is an important figure in p4. wada was concerned about spoilers until (development? i think?) was underway. since p4u2 is a continuation of p4, spoilers were inevitable.

BECAUSE ATLUS AND/OR ARCSYS HAVE TO INFORM YOU THAT WOMEN LOVE THIS GUY EVERY TIME THEY TALK ABOUT HIM IN P4U2 AND HIM BEING EASY TO PLAY, I TOO MUST NOW ALSO REITERATE NOW THAT MANY OF ADACHI'S FANS ARE WOMEN!!!, and adachi is a "'one hit' wonder" type character who is easy to use and can do a decent chunk of damage in a single hit. he can increase his attack and defense with heat riser, a skill from p4. his other moves are very fitting of adachi, like him shooting his gun at an opponent's feet, or inflicting the fear status.

(in the past, i translated "one hit wonder" as "powerful", but a fighting game guy recently corrected me on that. i didn't realize it meant something else lol my bad. it's like a character who is effective in one hit instead of a character who has needs a lot of combo moves/strings to be effective. in adachi's case, this is likely referring to how his personal normal / c button does stupid amts of damage.)

by himself, adachi's movement is pretty lame. like his anti air b button kick isnt particularly cool looking (see above), but when you combo it with magatsu izanagi, then it becomes cool as heck. his movements and his combos really display the duality of his character, and iguchiya from arcsys would be quite pleased if you pick up on those vibes while playing.

gonna start keeping a counter of "MANY OF ADACHI'S FANS ARE WOMEN, SO WE MADE HIM EASY TO PLAY".

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: I did enjoy myself. There is a lot of comedy in this one. It’s at least 50 - 60% comedy so everyone is laughing from start to finish. It’s about 80% scripted comedy and 20% improve comedy. It was very entertaining and very enjoyable. We all laughed the entire time. So if you just want to enjoy, laugh, have a good time, you are going to LOVE this stage! It’s just one long Hanamaru (the anime) episode to be honest. My favourite parts of the whole stage were definitely Manba and co’s dynamics and relationship. I really, really loved Sayo and Manba’s relationship and body language and small gestures towards each other throughout the play which really shows how close they’ve gotten. It’s really sad that Sayo is only there for the first Tokyo run because the little things he did for and towards Manba just melted my heart. Also, I really, really loved Manba and Doudanuki’s dynamic in this show too! I absolutely adored how Douda treated Manba this time around. However, personally, that’s not what I want from Touken Ranbu. I want pain, I want fighting, I want history, I want conflict. That does not happen in this stage. So this is not what I wanted. I started to get really bored and I got over the jokes after about 45 minutes into the show (the show is 145 minutes long). They repeat the same group/set of jokes about 10 times, so obviously I got bored of them. I feel like this plot could’ve been done in about 30 minutes. The fact they take the entire 145 minutes for this one simple plot line (it’s a really simple story), it really gets boring in some spots. The lack of fighting (which is less than 10 minutes long for the entirety of the play), the lack of history, the lack of conflict (even between the Touken Danshi!) really got to me and this just wasn’t what I wanted. Like I said, I did enjoy myself and I did laugh throughout and I did have a good time. But when Touken has set this ‘dark, despair, historical, fighting’ theme for so long, you can’t expect us to not expect that this time around, AND when we don’t get it, you can’t expect me not to be bored and disappointed. Which is what I am. Disappointed. Again. Rating: 5/10 (if you enjoy comedy and lighthearted stuff then this’d be about 8/10)

SPOILER REVIEW

Story: The story takes place after the events of the game (see details here). So we follow Chougi joining the gang at the Honmaru, but a lot of the gang are against Chougi and Manbachan (Yamanbagiri Kunihiro) meeting because Chougi is the ‘true’ Yamanbagiri sword. So they try to delay and play tricks so they can’t meet. And we follow those shenanigans.

*

I am going to break this down into three groups: ☆ The Good, × The Bad and △ the Neutral/General/Both-Good-and-Bad Comments! So get ready! I’ll do Good first!

☆ It’s difficult to describe, but I loved Sayo and Manba relationship in this one. There was a lot of body language and actions that showed just how much Sayo cared for Manba. There were many moments when he would sit next to Manba and look at him worried, checked if he was okay. When Chougi was trying to verbally attack Manba, Sayo was right by his side, ready to kick Chougi’s ass. Just the small things Sayo did for Manba throughout this play were just so pure and so adorable to watch. It’s such a shame that he’s only there for the Tokyo Shows because I would love see this development between these two’s relationship.

☆ Another relationship I loved in this one was Doudanuki and Manba. If you remember back in Mitsu/JyoDen, Doudan and Manba were always butting heads, but in this one, Doudan wouldn’t leave Manba’s side. He tried SO hard to protect Manba from Chougi, and he tried to hard to keep Chougi away from Manba throughout the entire play, which just shows how much he care for Manba! It was adorable!!

☆ Dounauki on his own is just so great in this stage series! I love Naoki’s performance of him every time!!

☆ At the end of the play, Manba finally got sent off to be Kiwame’d!! So in the next stage we’ll be getting Kiwame ManbaChan!! I cannot wait!

☆ Being able to see Aoki Jin’s acrobatics again was so good! He’s still got it!

☆ Riki as Nansei was adorable! He was really good at showing the catish characteristics he has! And his cat speech was adorable too!

☆ The Manba VS 6 Touken Danshi fight scene was very impressive on MakiChan’s part and it fit completely. Both MakiChan and ManbaChan could’ve wooped all their asses after all the years of training they’ve both technically done in sword fighting.

△ This is a mix of good and bad but, we cannot deny just how amazing MakiChan is at this point when to comes to sword fighting. His movements and his choreography is so good and such a high level by this point! But this is also a bad thing because... it makes it super obvious just how beginner everyone else (especially Chougi’s actor) is at sword fighting when he’s against them. I could painfully see the difference in their choreography levels, especially when MakiChan had fighting scenes against Chougi, and when he was fighting against 6 of the swords at the same time. Their movements and choreography just looks so mediocre and so clumsy and just don’t flow naturally at all next to him. 

△ There were mentions of Ookurikara, Yagen and Jiji throughout the play, so definitely hints they’ll come back in future plays(?). I am excited for Ookuri and Yagen but we all know how I feel about Jiji -_____-

△ Ginga as Gokotai was.... fine. He definitely got the voice and intimidated body language right but... boy’s pretty tall... would’ve been better to find a shorter person?

△ There were no ensemble this time at all.

△ There are no set changes at all. It all takes place at the Honmaru. The set is really big actually! I like how they used all parts of the set, even the upper levels!

△ The umbrellas this time have no names on them! It’s all projection mapped (their names) onto white umbrellas instead this time around.

△ Why are they performing an Autumn/Winter themed play in the middle of summer? The play constantly talks about how Autumn is coming to an end, so why did they perform this in Summer?! That’s hella stupid.

△ I really did enjoy a lot of the comedy parts and I did enjoy my time BUT this isn’t what I wanted from TouStage; this isn’t what I expect from TouStage.

△ What was the point of Maeda playing the narrator in this? And why was it split into chapters throughout the play?

× Because it’s just a comedy that is heavily scripted and nothing major really happens, I see no rewatchability value unfortunately. Once was enough.

× The Opening is very long. It’s a ten minute VIDEO of them fighting and finding Chougi. Why they made it a video instead of actually on stage, I don’t understand. Why it was such a long video? I also don’t understand.

× I strongly feel like they expanded and stretched what could’ve been a 45 minute story into 145 minutes. There was no need for this Chougi vs Manba conflict to go on for the entirety of the the stage. It got very repetitive, and it dragged quite a bit. 

× Also the second storyline about Gokotai? It felt very unnecessary and very much a throw away. It wasn’t needed for the point it was used for. It was used to reintroduce and set-up Jiji into the series and how they all miss him and want him back. But we really didn’t need Gokotai for it. In fact...

× ...50% of this cast is entirely unneeded and unnecessary! I have no idea why half of them were there! When they were all gathered on stage, I could easily look at them and pick out who could’ve been straight up removed. 

If you had to ask me who actually brought something to the story, I would say: Manba, Chougi, Sayo, Doudanuki, and Nansei. Kento was good for the comedy parts. So literally everyone else you could’ve cut out.

× It bothers me that once again, Suemitsu is just stealing from another idea. The Gokotai storyline is basically from Hanamaru, and of course the Chougi backstory is taken straight from the Game Event (which is not the point that bothers me). He seriously cannot make up his own ideas. He hasn’t written a good stage since TRUMP seriously (K Stage doesn’t count because it’s just a carbon copy of the anime). And WHY is he even back?! Hiden was supposed to be his last one! Everyone said! So WHY is he back? Give other writers a chance!

× It really infuriated me how they waited and expected the audience to applause at certain times. One or two times where it’s expected is FINE but the fact they pause and wait SO many times for the audience to clap was just cringey and ewwy. I understand that some jokes are positioned so the audience claps, but when it’s the amount that it is in this play? No thank you. Just makes the actors look cheap and egotistical.

× The soundtrack is completely forgettable this time around! I cannot remember one single tune that stuck to me. I’m a huge Soundtrack lover so the fact nothing caught my ears and nothing caught my attention nor stayed with me is just.... bad.

× This play seriously made me hate Chougi! I like Chougi in the game but in this? He’s just a pompous, ignorant prick. I walked out absolutely HATING him! How dare he treat Manba and the rest of them like that! Motherf-ker.

× Personally, I found no moving, no emotional, no sad moment in the play this time. That’s bad and boring writing in my opinion.

× I’ve said this many times already but, they repeat the same 4 or 5 jokes about 10 times within the first 75 minutes of the play. That is total overkill. It got old fast, I quickly got bored (the 45 minute point was when it was starting to grate on me).

× There is all of ONE fight scene the entire play, and (I timed it) it takes up less than 15 minutes of the entire play.  And it was glaringly obvious to see the skill level difference between MakiChan and everyone else (in all honesty).

× Another personal thing for me, but I find Kato Sho completely exhausting. He’s so damn loud and so over the top as Ookanehira. He just exhausts me. He’s great as himself but as Ookane? Just no thank you.

× Chougi and Manba don’t meet until the 75 minute part. Which is excessively late. You could’ve had them meet up about 30 minutes in. It really was stretched out too far.

× The theatre itself was freezing as FACK! Absolutely freezing in there!

*

And that’s all! In conclusion, it could’ve been much better and wasn’t what I wanted. But I feel like I say this EVERY TIME. Maybe I really should just stop. Why do I even say I like TouStage when it’s evident I’m disappointed like... every time! *sigh*

P4U2 / Arena Ultimax Design Works - About Episode Adachi

I think the anecdote is known, but this is the part of the interview where Atlus and Arcsys talk about Episode Adachi.

Interviewer: Now then, why did you make Episode Adachi? And how did fans react to it? Kazuhisa Wada (Atlus): First of all, figuring out how to handle Adachi's character is very tricky. But this time, we had a P4G scenario writer who is a huge Adachi stan on staff, so we left the scenario up to him. But I didn't want him to fanboy too hard, so I had to rein him in. Takumi Ichigaya (Arcsys): There was some talk about whether Adachi needed a story since he was a DLC character. Wada: Right, right. But Adachi wasn't "just" DLC; he was also involved in the main story, so I wasn't sure what to do. But before I knew it, the aforementioned staff member had written Adachi's story…… (laughs). Ichigaya: Wada-san asked us, "Can we add more story through DLC?" We didn't have any issues with that, so we told him, "Yeah, do you want to?" (laughs) Mysterious Maskman (Arcsys): I thought it was nice that Episode Adachi gave us info about the enemies in P4AU. It gave insight into Adachi, and we got a deeper understanding towards Sho as well. Wada: In the main story, we couldn't depict Adachi's stance, but I think we were able to clearly depict it here. I was nervous about how the fans would receive it. Iguchiya: I think the fans loved it. It may have been for the best that when we created the P4A series, we made it clear that, "This is a canon sequel".

"Stan" and "Fanboy" are my word choices lol. Something more literal would be "obsessed with Adachi" and "letting the fan mentality take over".
