Spirited Away Stage Play

hey yea if you're a theatre nerd you absolutely need to go see it while GKIDS has it in theaters! I can barely compare it to anything else I've seen even on Broadway or OSF or West End. Seriously go check it out, just holy fuck the level it is on.

Something that's been sticking out to me since I got my DVD copy of the stage adaptation of Spirited Away is the difference in the responses of the characters Chihiro calls "Grandpa" or "Granny," and how she came to call each of them that.

We have Kamaji, who initially claims Chihiro is his granddaughter as part of a ruse to allow her into the bathhouse, and does so almost casually. While Chihiro later does refer to him as "Grandfather" or "Grandpa," this is never really given much attention by the other characters. It seems to me as if, following Lin's initial surprise at Kamaji's claim, it's treated as something just completely ordinary.

Then we have Zeniba, who specifically asks Chihiro to call her "Granny," and Yubaba, who expresses bewilderment when Chihiro refers to her in that way near the end of the play. I haven't put as much thought into those two, but I do still find it interesting either way.

It's definitely something I'd like to revisit once I've had more time to observe it and put my thoughts into words.

Everything else aside--

When Haku salt bae'd the flower petals to help Sen escape, I DIED. I can't even. Just...

I'm going to have to dig for one later because atm I cannot find a good video or gif or anything to show the way they had No Face move in the Spirited Away stage play. Like ya spirit is just out here softly hip hop dancing across the stage. Pop and locking to folk music. Absolutely off-putting and yet mesmerizing. I was not prepared

Deeva Årud - Club Wear Voice Lines

When Summoned: Lights dimmed, tension building up… Are you ready to feel our rhythm? Summon Line: Playing music with friends is fun, I’m glad to be here even though I’m starting to feel a bit nervous.

Groooovy!!: We’d be delighted to see you at our next show. Spotting a familiar face among the crowd is always nice. Home: “Let’s rock and roll”, as some would say. Home Idle 1: I joined the Pop Music Club on my second year. Perhaps it’s quite a drastic change from my previous club but… it’d be a lie to say I’m not enjoying my time here. Home Idle 2: Most of the time I’m the one suggesting we should practice, but somehow Lilia, Cater and Kalim always distract me with all these unknown snacks and gadgets. Sometimes I have the feeling they do it on purpose… Home Idle 3: I need to warm my hands, it’s hard playing an instrument when they’re cold. Home Idle – Login: *humming Piece of My World* Ah- sorry, I didn’t see you there. Can I help you with something? Home Idle – Groovy: I’ve been playing violin and other instruments since I was a kid. My family has always had a connection with music and I’ll gladly continue this legacy. Conveying your thoughts and feelings through sounds is quite satisfactory. Home Tap 1: My first concert with them? Since it was the first time I’d be playing in front of many people, I knew I’d have a hard time trying to look at the audience. Cater noticed and told me to look at him so I could feel less overwhelmed… Let’s say I didn’t expect him to be so literal. His clones substituted the audience because no one came to see us. Home Tap 2: Hm, my violin? Indeed, it’s not the same one I use at Mostro Lounge. An electric violin is more suitable for the club’s activities. I’m surprised you noticed it. That means someone’s been paying too much attention to the musician playing ambience music… That was a joke. Home Tap 3: Kalim and I joined the club in the same year so I got to see how much he’s improved his drumming technique. It’s impressive. Certainly, Lilia’s been an excellent teacher to him. Home Tap 4: I like the idea of having customized masks for our performances. Maybe I should mention it once we have enough funds. Home Tap 5: I recently accepted to do some vocals just for our club sessions. You can come see us, but please refrain from telling everyone else. At the moment, I only feel comfortable singing for a few people. Home Tap – Groovy: When it comes to a band like this many wouldn’t think of a violinist, but that actually gives songs an interesting feeling, don’t you think? Duo: [DEEVA]: Ready for a shocking performance, Cater? [CATER]: Ready as ever, Dee-chan!

There's a new Rock Bleach Musical coming out in 2024 👀

https://x.com/RM_BLEACH2024/status/1736212115650707770?s=20

THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF US WITH THIS NEWS. I associate Bleach Rock Musical with Christmas, because I'm pretty sure when we first watched one it was Christmas Eve, and this was how we ended up subjecting a large number of our family members to our very specific niche tastes.

I'm so glad they're moving into later parts of the story! Though I wonder how far they plan to get. I could see a very poignant play wrapping with Orihime's goodbye/leaving with Ulquiorra. But I feel like also the musical I have in mind is Orihime-focused and also takes place primarily in Orihime's apartment and the Advance Team arc, hahaha.

We (B3) have now seen quite a few anime stage plays, whether musicals or 2.5Ds or whatever a 'live spectacle' is (including some for anime we have not actually seen); and I'm curious to see whether BRM's vibe will be different in this 2024 era, as the genre (from my vantage point) has moved. Each one has such a different flavor, nearly unique unto itself, but there are a lot of really pushed the envelope with the genre and shifted the baseline for what an audience might expect on stage.

I will say, I feel like they're making these JUST for me. I have seen more theatre this year (anime stage plays, student theatre of various levels, community theatre, Broadway, and I got introduced to the StarKid musicals--so really, the whole gamut) than any other form of media, which is new for me. So like, I'm primed, MY BODY IS READY, BRM!!!

I hope they reprise "DEATH!!" plssss

I highly, HIGHLY recommend seeing the live action recording of Spirited Away if you get a chance! The set, choreography, puppetry, costume work... It's so well done and absolutely fantastic.
