#so in a way even tho jakurai and ramuda are two sides of the same coin sensei is his predecessor sorta

[akkivee]

still patiently waiting for the day ramuda and jakurai commensurate over being weapons of the state 😔

Glory or Dust : an opinionated summary.

Also speakers ratings

One word : 3D

Boy Ichiro can climb and run fast woa

Speakers can move????!!!

Ichiro’s are no longer on my top 10 I’m sorry sweetie but those speakers are gonna get a 5/10 and those points are for Ichi not the darn speakers.

Ooo Samatoki can wiggle! Is he trying to be a Sama-snake now?

6/10 for the creativity of his speakers, they even glow in the dark. 10/10 good for those who are scared of the dark.

Which brings us to another topic; do they glow bc Samatoki is scared of the dark?

Ooh look at Nagoya div <3

Nagoya Div my beloved <3<3

Setting looks like Naruto’s so it’s ok

Kuuko, my man, gets 10/10 bc I’m biased just like that also speakers have a dragon holding a speaker (?)

DH really be imitating Uchiha Itachi’s pose up there lol

Shoku repo (食レポ) Is what gave Sasara a 9.9/10. The 0.1 is bc I didn’t get the punchline in his joke there.

Sasara and his speakers are feline friends yes. They understand each other also the fact the speakers are a maneki neko dancing around makes everything even better.

Ramuda baby what the fuck are u guys doing up there??? What if u fall??

Ramuda my gremlin angel. Your speakers will get a 6/10 bc they look so weird also they kinda look like a croos over between Yu-gi-oh and fish eggs so.

MTNRO my beloveds, get your asses down pls, least one pf u trips and break your backs.

Jakurai really be looking like sailor moon up there with his speakers. 10/10 bc everything about Jakurai looks majestic.

Jiro, 3/10. I’m sorry sweetie but 10/10 for that one random girl that appeared. Who. Is she??? She really be chilling here

TRASH PANDA (why u so mean Jyuto??)

Flowers. Thats all I see whenever I see Jyuto’s speakers so 5/10 bc they kinda pretty when I think of them as flowers but as sirens they will get 3/10.

Jyushi my beloved child, my angel UwU

100/10 bc he is Jyushi and deserves the world. Also I’m obsessed with how his speakers look like a haunted house that gives a nightmare before Christmas vibes.

Rosho really looking like a snack up there. The way he say “ 怖いお” makes me go UwU

However, Rosho, honey... thise speakers... 4/10 bc that table really looks like the box where my grandma used to store dates in when I was young.

I will not talk about how disappointed I’m with Gentaro’s outfit bc I thought they were elegant until I saw them here.

Those speakers better stay 6 feet away from me. They look like a yokai. So 7/10 for being creatively scary.

HIFUMI HIFUMI HIFUMI HIFUMI HIFUMI-

Speakers are simple but elegant so usually I’d go for a 2/10 bc I really don’t like yellow. But 101/10 bc you are Hifumi and that spin. THE SPIN IS BEAUTIFUL.

These two

You might wanna tune down being mad and you guys can kiss later

Saburo, my child, I really hoped for “Saburo Steelo” moment but guess this won’t happen for now

SABURO VERSION 2 ✌🏻

Saburo’s speakers get 9.6/10 bc I really really want to touch them. Grinch vibes tho.

Ichiro, you look like u got dumbed sitting there I’m sorry

YOU CAN’T TOUCH DIS- i swoon

Rio... now look i love this guy, I really do but those speakers will get 2/10.

Hitoya. One word. BIKE GOES BRRR

sweetie what is that??? 8/10 for the creativity and 9/10 for being funny

10/10 for Rei’s speakers. Suzaku being there is magnificent but final score is 0/10 bc they belong to Rei.

Dice looks like a vending machine more than a gambling machine so 1/10 for wrong vibes but final score will be 4/10 for the fact that he has his own fucking face on those speakers

Now star of the show, my spirit animal, my man, my child, Doppo will be getting 100/10 bc he deserves it. Creativity 10/10 and 10/10 for being simple and elegant.

No i am not screaming or crying...

KuuIchi are standing on the same side

STANDING ON THE SAME FUCKINF SIDEEEEEE

Now DH is surrounded by both Matenro and MTC so can they just really quickly gang up on Rei and beat some sense back to his head???

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT—

Hitoya near BBs. And Jakurai on their other side My life is now completed

Samatoki can u just slap Rei a little bit? Since ur near and all??

Now, Fling Posse and MTC really walked there like they came out of mean girls

2 ft distance u guys omg.

Thought Kuko would pull Jakurai’s hair as to make Jakurai reach his height pftt-

SamaRamu continue flirting please.

[akkivee]

i am a little embarrassed to say i didn’t pay much attention to stage posse but still!!!!!:

stage ramuda is an entire menace lmao

like both the anime and stage’s takes on ramuda is a cutesy snarky young man who will tear everything and everyone down when provoked in a certain manner and it’s valid!!!!! doesn’t mean i particularly care for it tho lol

i love track 4 tho for showing off ramuda’s ability to manipulate and even tho he’s the antagonist of that play, he was provoked by jakurai so if you ask me, sensei was the true antagonist of that track and that’s the sort of writing that makes the stage so interesting lmao

there was a flavour of falseness sekoguchi-san’s ramuda had, like a deep seated mask over his emotions and interactions and it SLAPPED he played ramuda’s early self conflicts very well

i don’t listen to stage posse’s first songs at all anymore (i esp despise trap of fling gomen lol) but there was a time i’d listen to stage songs with yasui-san’s ramuda and get sad it didn’t hit the same as sekoguchi-san’s lol

now it’s not a problem lol yasui-san has a wonderful ramuda as well and it was an easy transition because i think sekoguchi-san and yasui-san have similar takes on ramuda

we don’t talk about stage gentaro’s first actor lol but he played a very fruity gencha and i always appreciate that lol

sakata-san’s gentaro i felt embraced more of gentaro’s weirdness which i like to see more of in my gentaro LOL

i always think about that final bop2023 encore talk where he pretended to cry bc everything was ending, but it was a just a big ol’ uso desu yo joke, much to his teammates chagrin lol. stage dice must have been still giving him a look or something because gentaro returned his gaze and did this half shrug with a 😌😏 expression that kills me tbh lmao

speaking of stage dice!!!!!!!!!!

*EXPLODES*

takizawa-san……………. takiryo…………….. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………………………..

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………………………

when ramuda got recast, it taught me the fear of my faves leaving and i begged that takiryo would never leave the role of dice lmao

his dancing??????????????? FLAWLESS

his rap?????????? FANTASTIC

his face???????? PHEW 😮‍💨

*collapses* and he’s charming too i always think about this one report i read where he and doshiro’s stage actor iirc were doing a rewatch of sorts of track two, and before it started they were playing asakusa bounce in the bg so takiryo was singing the chorus, ‘SEIYA!!!! SOIYA!!!!!! ASAKUSA!!!!!’

except he was getting the order wrong and kazuya-san had to gently correct him and takiryo fell out of his chair laughing at himself and UGH 😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛

takiryo’s daisu absolutely put the ‘king’ in daisu lol like he was brutally cool

the way yasui-san and sakata-san tended to look towards him and occasionally acted around him like he was their leader helped drive that home too lol

stage dice was insane btw lmao i still can’t believe he said this lol

i think the stage play leaned into a young master kinda dice, to show what kind of upbringing dice came from in absence of the women’s presence in the plays. i think it’s a bit of a disservice to dice personally, but i wasn’t unwilling to see such a side of him explored lol

before fp vs mtc happened, he and byrnes-san tried to fit dice and rio’s relationship in wherever they happened to be together and i *clenches fist* thank them for that lmao
