I went to Tokyo to watch four shows of Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Die Neue These: The Stage and visit Iserlohn Fortress Dining Cafe. It was really fun, I'm in love with Yonehara's Alex Caselnes!

I might edit the post for typos and missing/wrong details.

NON-SPOILER REVIEW

Overall: That was so much fun!! It might as well have been a real live! Lots of audience participation, lots of singing, wooing, dancing along etc. It was so. much. fun! I even cried! I cried at one point because it was sad. And I cried another time just because it was so much fun, I didn’t want it to end! It was so good! For me, the MVP was either Yojiro and/or Kensuke xD I’m happy they did a story from the anime. They’ve left it open enough to continue too! I hope we get another stage AND another live! Also I want a CD asap! Rating: 8.5-9/10

Seriously all the stages I’ve seen lately have been amazing! YumeStage, EnStage, (spoiler alert >) Honoo no Mirage, Captain Tsubasa, UtaPuri, now this!!

STORY

The story is about another battle of the bands but, we have the ex-members of Amatelast who are trying to get the band back together and plotting ways of breaking Rom and Shuuzo up from their current bands; with Rom and Shuuzo’s past coming up and both of their groups think they’re going to leave them. We also have a band coming from the future to warn them that everything is bad.

SPOILER REVIEW

Where to start?!??!!? xD

SCENES/COMMENTS

The opening straight away was hilarious because after Trichronika performed, Kai gave Shuuzo some water but Shuuzo/KenKen coughed on his water hard, couldn’t get his line out, and everyone was dying of laughter so he ‘started over’ and take a sip of water again xD Rui’s faced cracked hard when it happened.

There’s a scene where Crow looks and acts trashed out of his head drunk; but he’s just milk-drunk xD it’s so adorable and cute! 

There’s a scene with Crow on a bike (he’s doing his part time job), and he ends up banging into Adam twice, and the second time even YoneChan cracked up and laughed his line out.

I was lucky enough to be right next to the break between the front seating area and the back seating area. I got so many good views and closeness from people <3 I was super happy that Naoya and KenKen came in from my side and they were like BAM right there! Also, there’s a scene where KenKen gets carried by Judas Jrs across this aisle area and because I was right next to the exit door for him, he was so slow leaving my eye line <3 and he waved to all of us as he went past too! In fact almost ALL of them walked past at one point because they wall came out in a line when they time traveled back to when Amatelast (Shuuzo, Rom, Adam and Eve) were together. And Akazawa walked so slowly in that outfit of his that he took ages to walk past me xD

Another golden moment thanks to me seat was Teruma headbanging almost AGAINST the girl in front of me - his hair was ALL in her face; she was dying of laughter as was I xD She was super duper happy after he left though - NOT because he left, but she got such direct fanservice. And Torigoe was across from me, leaning over the front area bar to give some girls fanservice too.

There’s a scene where Shingan are in a bar finding out about the Battle of the Bands tournament, but while Rom and Crow are trying to get sense of their manager, Yaiba/Torigoe was pretending to be a cat and was following Teruma’s tail around and Teruma was purposely playing with his tail and putting it in Torigoe’s face. Then Crow ends up with a flower and he uses it on both Teruma and Torigoe who became cats xD I’m pretty sure this is a higawari. Which Naoya/Rom could always perfect stop with his mighty fists and punches xD

OH! One major thing I love about this stage is that EVERYONE’S mics are on so if (for example) 8 characters are on stage, you can hear everything; also they’re pretty much able to play around and do stuff and interact stupidly if it’s not their line or if they’re not a major point to the scene so we saw a lot of hilarious things going on; both planned and unplanned.

Speaking of Rom’s fists! When he punches the teddy version of Manager Maple and then a mini teddy of him  drops from the sky xD so funny!

But also speaking of fists and punches; Crow and Rom’s showdown fight broke my heart and it was during such a sad song sung by Teruma, Torigoe and Kimeru too! BUT it was impressive seeing YoneChan have such energy to keep falling almost every time Naoya ‘hit’ him. It was very well choreographed.

Related to Teruma! There’s a part of a song where he has to do screamo and oh my! Teruma’s screamo!!! It was good! His singing is always great but I didn’t know he could do screamo singing too!

OH! And those damn Shingen aprons are back! I was great seeing those again! And when Torigoe and Teruma’s part time ob involved cleaning the Judas Studio and they had to pretend to not be Yaiba and Aion so they could overheard Arcareafact’s conversation. Aion cleaned the floor in front of Argon as if he was playing Curling. And Torigoe put on an old woman’s voice and potted around. At one point Teruma always span around wipping the broom around too which was very funny.

Another funny part is when Kimeru finds Riku late at night but accidentally scares him by shouting, and so Riku runs of stage screaming, BUT Riku’s screaming also caused Kimeru to panic and scream too in return and he sort of ducked where he was. Then Kimeru went backstage to grab a weeping Riku and pulled him back on stage xD

I really love when the Manager actor sings too! There’s two great parrts! The first is when he sings on stage and slowly the rest of Shingan join in except Rom who’s just like ‘wtf are you all doing?’ but eventually Crow drags him to join in xD the other time is when he’s talking to Shuuzo in the aisle and he sings all his lines and also walks off singing. Shuuzo ends the scene by going ‘it seems like someone’s listening to us (meaning the audience xD)’.

I cried so easily and so hard when Shuuzo got to the hospital and was like (to Riku - who had gotten himself into a car accident because he was so miserable and upset about Shuuzo possibly leaving them) ‘YOU IDIOT! I WAS SO WORRIED!’ And then he hugged Riku and Kai like ‘I’ll never leave you two’. Shortly after this moment, we also have Kimeru breaking down which also broke my heart, especially because the scene fades to black with Kimeru just scream-crying his heart out =[ To then have the bands start performing straight after... it took me a good song to calm down and get back to enjoying it. But then I fully enjoyed it! SO MUCH FUN!

You can tell those that have Live/Band experience because they went ALL out and you can hear it in their voices by how well trained their vocals are and how amazing their range it and how they can blast out a song and not get tired: YoneChan, KenKen, Kimeru. Their love of performing just oozes out from them and very obvious to see.

I NEED a second live so I can do and support them!! They were all amazing! All the songs are great!!

I need another LIVE, another STAGE, AND I want a CD released please!!

ACTING

I won’t mention everyone, sorry(!)

Yonehara Kousuke as Crow: YONE IS THE PERFECT CROW! Need I say an more? He has so much DAMN energy and he’s just loud and crazy and does stupid things but also cares so much for his friends; he is EXACTLY as Crow should be. And that tummy, am-I-right?!

Naoya Goumoto (Takigawa Eiji) as Rom: While what happened to Eiji is terrible and unfortunate, I was so happy when Naoya got announced as his replacement. And he did not disappoint; he was enough Naoya as he was Rom <3 Rom is a character both he and Eiji suit very well. And we got to see Naoya WITHOUT a shirt! Like waaah! And he’s well toned too! I was goooogling a lot xD 

I assume it’s a higawari but there’s one part when Rom is a salaryman and begging his boss for money and the boss says if he wants the money then he should do a Monomane/Impersonation. A girl in the audience told him to be a bicycle and YoneChan (who was on stage with Kimeru, looking on at Naoya and the boss) pointed to the bicycle on stage like ‘there’s one here!’ . But Naoya did the bicycle and used his tail to make it look like a seat but as he left the room as a bicycle, he blurted out ‘ISN’T THIS THE WRONG SHOW?! (referring to YowaMushi Pedal xD)’. It was hilarious.

Kamakari Kenta as Shuuzo: I love how KenKen just OWNS his mistkes in a way that he pretends they didn’t happen while everyone else is dying of laughter. Before the after event live started, he came on stage and fucked up his own bands name AND the name of the music tournament and he just ignored the fact he made the mistakes, smiled to the audience and continued his lines xD

By the way, Mitsuya Ryo (who played Shuuzo previously) was there tonight; KenKen did sing directly at someone in the audience at once point, so could’ve been him. I have so much respect for Mitsuya; he went to a musical where he was replaced and it’s clearly obvious KenKen is doing the FAR superior performance, yet he is all buddy buddy and smiles with KenKen and it looks genuine. If it had been me, I wouldn’t be going anywhere NEAR stages I get replaced in.

AND I’M SO HAPPY WE GOT TO SEE HIM AS DARK SHUUZO!! I love dark Shuuzo and his outfit was so pretty and sparkly!! *dead*

Yutaro as Riku: His singing has gotten a tad better than Hatsukoi Monster, but he definitely should not be cast in musicals. He’s able to act so he can stay in the stage world but he shouldn’t force his voice vocally so muhc xD BUThe character was so cute and adorable! He was the cutest whenhe was in hospital and had these white pjs on <3 And he was totally cute in the AfterEvent; he was the last one to put his instrument back, and KenKen and Rui waited so patiently for him. When he turned around and saw they were already waiting, he was a little flustered and hurried down to them; so cute! His character in this is very similar to his character in Hatsukoi Monster (review here).

Kihara Rui as Kai: It’s SO weird seeing him so adorable and cute and smiley! The gap between his true self (which I’ve heard is somewhat very straight faced and -__-) and this character is amazing. Also seeing him in Give Up Dance and then in this and seeing the drastic difference even between those characters is amazing! He’s definitely a talented actor and could go a long way. It was totally adorable when Teruma and Torigoe stole his drumsticks xD OH also he does this cool/kakkoi line during his solo song which was so cool yet also laughable xD

Itokawa Yojiro as Titan: Is there anything this mother fucker can’t do? I mentioned in my non-spoiler that he and/or Kensuke are the MVP of this stage for me. His voice is AMAZING! I didn’t expect him to sing SO WELL! But I should’ve because it seems to be part of the Bancho Boys requirements that they can sing (seriously, they can ALL sing from what I’ve heard so far). His voice was so great! He’s definitely his strongest when he’s NOT doing super high notes but still he was soooo good! I want everyone to hear his pretty voice! I’m trying NOT to be his fan because he already has a loyal and big-ish following but damn... he’s a great actor, he’s in a crap ton of popular shows, he can sing, he’s cute, we practically have the same birth, I enjoy everything he does... ugh... someone stop me from falling indeep with yet another actor. Also, his pants looked really good on him.

I really hope the next stage is Arcareafact’s backstory because Titan has a sad but interesting back story that I want to see on stage. Especially if it’s Yojiro! Goddammit boi.

Tsuji Ryo as Arashi: He looked freaking adorable! He was soooo cute!

Isaka Ikumi as Oboro: He looked SUCH cool and interesting. Visually he looked great; I want to see his (and the rest of Ninjinriot) developed more in future!

Takahashi Kensuke as Rin: OMG Kensuke, you know no chill. He was absolutely fabulous in this stage! Surprisingly his boobs become the least interesting part about him very quickly. How he can walk in those heels, constantly up and damn the stairs, with the massive height he already has is IMPRESSIVE. And his skirt was so DAMN short that my eyes were like o_O whenever he was on stage or near me (which he walked past me once and I got a good eyefull of his chest and how flawless his skin is around his arms and back - lucky bugger). With the heels and the skirt, his thighs looked amazing! And then his mannerisms were so feminine and fitted the character so perfectly and he kept in character SO FREAKING WELL! He was so pretty and so beautiful <3 how he suited this character so well is CRAZY! But I just wish he had more lines, more stage time, and actually sang - he didn’t sing at all, just ‘played’ his guitar xD I hope we get to see more of him in future stages/lives.

Akazawa Ryotaro as Kamui: He was so adorable too! But he walked so clunkingly and so slowly in his outfit xD

Judas JR: Were ALL adorable!!

KIMERU as Adam: It’s obvious I’m going to say he was wonderful and perfection in this! Kimeru always is. He KNOWS how to literally put on a show and be entertaining. Kimeru is always fabulous and always the life of the party and you can tell he LOVES performing and singing! 

After Event

KenKen is amazing at being awkward but also just brushing it off and being normal xD << I already mentioned this moment above.

The special Trikronika live was so much fun! Especially when KenKen couldn’t even say their name properly and Riku and Kai corrected him about three times but pretend he never said it nor that he didn’t hear them xD

The live was A LOT of fun! They sang INSIDE -- when he said that, even lost their shit for some reason -- tis a good song though.

GOODS

I, and so many other fans, appreciate it so much that they decided to sell Eiji’s stuff too!

Watashi no Host-chan

Yesterday, all 25 shows of the stage play Watashi no Hostchan had safely ended.

To everyone who came out to the theatre, and to everyone who gave me many love points, thank you so much!

23 times in the 7-Gods ranking, 4 times as the No.1 Fresh Host, And the first Fresh Host as Center Guy.

It’s not often that there’s a stage play where everyone would be given such a burden. When I decided that I was going to appear in Watashi no Host-chan, I was very troubled. The price of tickets and the price of goods are not cheap at all. Everyone has given me their precious time and money. I cannot explain the importance of being able to stand on the stage, and wearing the white suit… I really apologize for placing this huge burden on everyone.

Once again, it’s because everyone is here, that who I am right now can be recognized.

“Because you looked for me when I was offstage as a supporting character, Because you always chased after me, I’m finally standing here”

These are the lyrics of Center of the Earth.

Thinking back, there was a period when I didn’t have any jobs at all, and I had also gone some months with just one job. I just did part-time jobs. There was also a period when I thought about getting a full-time job. This period did not last for a short time, and so, those lyrics really resonated in my heart.

Looking back on the path I was able to walk on with the fans, and this stage play that confirmed it, it felt like Ino Hiroki’s Host Chan.** I’m thinking, ah, I’m really glad I got to do this.

And so, once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so so so much.

Everyone in Club Rose, the other cast members, and the staff too, thank you so much for lending me your strength when I joined at the beginning of the year.

I think this series will continue.

To everyone who is giving me support,

Thank you for your love.

I will represent Club Rose in the next season.

Rihito.

@YuukiIzawa A lot of nice photos and videos were sent to us from SLAZY's mother.

And this is the only physical fight scene, Rom and Crow not withstanding. Also the only time in any musical as far as this and the Fes 2017(and Bloody Labyrinth now that I've seen it) are concerned where the instruments are used as actual weapons.

Crow: Kosuke Yonehara

Aion: Teruma

Yaiba: Torigoe Yuki

Rom: Takigawa Eiji

Shu Zo: Ryo Mitsuya

Riku: Hashimoto Shohei

Kai: Tsukioka Koichi

[maki-ryota]

It's a BL movie starring Kosuke Yonehara, Masashi Taniguchi and Sho Tomita in the main roles. A young gay office worker who's attracted to his new boss, but can't be honest with his feelings due to a traumatic incident from his past. It's based on a manga with the same name which also features a second gay couple that you only get the vagues idea of in the movie.

Oh wow, sounds interesting! Do you recommend it? I might check it out tonight.

CAST and CHARACTERS

Ishiwatari Masshu as William Twinning Ayugawa Taiyou as Dantalion Tamura Ryouta as Kevin Sakurai Keito as Sytry Saki Masato as Jill De Ray Yamanaka Kenta as Michael Matsumoto Yuuichi as Priest Crosby Endo Makoto as Bealberito Aizawa Yu as Leonard*** KEN as Bafmette Yonehara Kousuke as Kamio* Clothemble**: Umetsu Mizuki and Fukui Shouta

*For some reason on the website, YoneChan is listed as ‘Tokubetsu Shutsuen = Special Appearance’ but he was in it like a normal actor? He had a lot of scenes, he had solo scenes, he had songs to sing... I don’t understand what was ‘Special’ about his appearance... other than his character isn’t supposed to be in this part of the story? I don’t know...

**Also it’s interesting that they didn’t bring back Issac this time and instead just had the Clothemble play what would’ve been his parts.

***Unfortunately Leonard’s actor dropped out literally days before the stage started.

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: This was so much fun! I completely forgot, but totally remembered while watching this stage, why I loved the first one so much; it’s so ridiculous, you just sit there and laugh the entire time - my giggles were ridiculous this time too! So many funny and stupid and ridiculous moments. Every time Dantalion smiled, I couldn’t handle it. Yet you still end up crying at the end! The songs are not quite as on par as the first stage but it’s still a super enjoyable play. It’s so enjoyable that you completely forget that the stage is 360 degrees and you completely forget there are people all around because the stage just brings you in and your attention is completely on them. The comedy is on point, and the higawaris (daily changes) are just as ridiculous as the stage itself. I think my favourite song is yet again a William song. The use of the stage and how they worked with the 360-ness was just amazing! I love how they would turn it around at different points of the stage too so it was like everyone got a ‘front’ view at least one. The stage is small enough that every place is a good spot pretty much! And every spot is very close to the stage too! Quite a lot of us had the actors directly looking at us or their clothing hitting us etc. And I was lucky enough that I sat closest to one of the entrance/exit doors for the actors, so I was near freaking EVERYONE but by god did I feel fear at one point when Taiyou was running down the steps towards me o_O he’s a big boy! xD Keito as Sytry was just... perfection <3 Also, it’s impossible to tell where Leonar should’ve been (note above about his situation); the play is flawless that you can’t really tell where he should’ve been and where his scenes were! So kudos to the staff and cast for so swiftly being able to change out his scenes because it’s honestly impossible to tell where he was obviously supposed to be. The only unfortunate thing was the venue itself; the sound is atrocious - sometimes when they’re just talking, you can’t actually hear them - and I was sat next to, what I assume is the AC machine, this huge and loud humming and buffering machine that one when they were singing and the songs were blasting out, that you didn’t hear it. I kind of hope they do a short rerun of this stage in a different theatre in hopes for better sound quality and for better sound recording for the DVD. Rating: 8/10

Okay! now onto the spoilers, fav parts, fangirling etc!

SPOILER REVIEW

I don’t know where to start.... first, before the show even started I wrote ‘There is a door right behind me and I just heard guys laughing... PLEASE don’t come out from this way...’ and as you can tell from my review above: I was right!!!! I was so lucky the practically everyone came out beside me. And at one point, I even had Taiyou running down the steps that were TOWARDS me - which was both making me full of fear and made me super lucky and excited xD - it was so great to be so close to so many damn actors. There was NOT a bad seat in that place at all in terms of how close everyone was to the actors.

I love how the stage this time starts the same way the first one did; Bafmette coming out quietly, walking around the theatre and the coming up to the stage and bursting into song. I really like they kept that in and continued it from the first stage. In fact, they kept a lot of things in or what similar aspects from the first show which reminded me of just how much and why I loved Makai Ouji the first time around. The whole ridiculousness of it, the fun in the songs, the fact that while it’s all fun and games, they still have a super serious moment and story towards the end, lots of adlibs and having to cope with each other’s ridiculousness - I just laughed the entire time just like I did last time -, the cast itself is super amazing and most of them came back this time around which is great, it’s just such a fun musical!

This musical is just so stupid.... so many good moments to choose from! Where to start:

Oh we have to talk about YoneChan straight away. For some reason he was labelled as a ‘special appearance’ but he ends up being in it a lot and having his own solo songs etc. But I guess it was special because his character doesn’t technically do anything and Yone is pretty much left to do whatever the hell he wants, which leads me to: He is SUCH a huge troll! There’s a moment where the main characters are explaining something on stage and Yone is just literally next to the audience and having a conversation with one of the guests; another time he was just pulling face and pointing at the other characters; he winds up Jill A LOT and constantly forgets his name; then another time there’s a point where some sexy music comes on and all of a sudden it’s like he’s back in HostChan and he was puts his hands all over different audience members and trying to pull them into a hug and everything; he really was just left to do whatever the hell; he’s a huge troll and a little shite but it’s so funny to see xD

Another great moment is just every time Dantalion smiles because A. Taiyou’s smile is freaking gorgeous and lights up the world and B. so it’s so WEIRD seeing Dantalion smile! What the hell! He should not be smiling! But there’s moments like during William’s song Dantalion is how Will wants him to be so all the smiles and getting along with Sytry comes out. 

Also another ridiculous scene with Dantalion is when William finds out Sytry and Dantalion ate everything and in shame, Dantalion put the plates cover on top of his head xD

OOOH!!! Another scene with him is when he pulls a Kageyama (Haikyuu reference here) and he walks on with this crown and long red cloak like a king/prince!

Ooohhh!! ANDDD!!! Freaking Priest Crosby with the mic! The first half of this play, whenever he has a solo singing moment or anything, he became a rapper! He had a rapper hat that says GOD on it and was dropping some serious raps! It was so... surreal! What the hell >.<

Some non-comedic moments I’d like to mention:

Can we talked about how FREAKING GORGEOUS Keito is. He’s just someone who I cannot get over his beauty. He’s just so gorgeous! And he was exactly how I imagined him as Sytry to be! He was perfect. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Kawaharada’s Sytry too! But Keito is just... the perfect match for Sytry! He was so gorgeous! I’m sad we didn’t get as much of him as we did of Kawaharada as Sytry. I was kind of hoping this stage would be Sytry’s main story but it ended up being Michael as the main plot point which makes me sad - Sytry has always been my favourite character. But damn, seeing the hate between Sytry and Dantalion really hurt my heart! And when they started having this big fight between them - oh my! I didn’t want either of them to get hurt! But yes... Keito as Sytry was just gold <3 he works with Clie a lot so hopefully he’s here for the long run!

OOOOHHH!! AND WE GET FREAKING KEITO IN A DRESS THIS TIME!!! He and Dantalion have to act in Hamlet and OF COURSE Sytry gets given the GIRL role! It was so beautiful! He was so beautiful! He looked so pretty and gorgeous! Damn you Keito! Y U SO PRITI?! Keito in a dress is something I think should be part of the law.....

Speaking of Dantalion; Taiyou is also just this beautiful beast of a man! I already spoke about how gorgeous he is when he smiles! And I super duper love him as Dantalion! He too is a perfect casting choice. I already mentioned how he came bolting towards me at one point; at the moment I was a cross between ‘oh god, please have control and don’t run right into me.. but also if you run into me and land on top of me, I’m good with that’ xD You’ve never felt fear til you see 6ft tall Taiyou running down the steps right next to you and towards you >.< 

And the scene between him and Will towards the end... you guys... Dantalion and Will are just THE Canon-OTP I will never get over. Dan and Will OTP FOREVER! Esepcially their scene towards the end when William comes back to himself and they’re getting really close to each other and talking about how they need each other by their sides and they’ll never leave their sides and it looks like they’re going to kiss when - SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY BUTTS IN AND DESTROYS THE MOMENT!

I’m actually really sad how in both this musical and the last MO musical, the lack of Dan x Will stuff really upsets me... SO much Dan x Will is in the anime and the manga but I feel like the actors and the Clie can only handle like 2 cute moments max with them... WHY?! Y U NOT GAY ENOUGH?! Especially in this one. That ONE moment right at the end is the ONLY Dan x Will we get in the second stage *cries a river* I was starting to think Dantalion didn’t CARE about William in this stage because of how little they’re together and because of how little in the gayness moments they have between them *cries*

(BTW am I even allowed to say ‘gay’ and ‘gayness’ anymore?! I’m not offending anyone right? I’m allowed to like the gay right?! I don’t get how PC the world is anymore... I don’t know what’s okay to say or not anymore... ANYWAY!)

Another actor who’s performance I really enjoyed was Yamanaka’s! Funnily enough Yamanaka Kenta IS my favourite out of the two of them (he has a twin called Shouta for those that don’t know and they both are in the stage business) so I’m not surprised I ended up liking his character so much. But what DID surprise me what the fact that he can DAMN sing! I always thought the Yamanaka twins were somewhat lacking when it came to singing (see their songs in EnStage) and weren’t the best but I guess it’s just Shouta who’s the lesser able one when it comes to singing? Because DAMN Kenta can sing! I was so surprised! AND his acting - DAMN! I absolutely loved the way he switched between being this nice top of the class student who’s polite and kind, to then being this BITCH of a angel who’s horrible to his servants and is physically abusive as well as manipulating! I absolutely love the way he treats William and he switches between the two. ALSO every time he stood on the damn table was so funny! Just so he’d be taller than the other >.< AND that one moment when he smacks his hand down hard on the table but then proceeds to talk calmly to William - oh my! 

And that damn picture of his feet is freaking everywhere, but I’m not going to torture you with that shot here; but there is a good reason why he’s barefoot a lot -- although I do like the moment where he decides to show his true colours and the first thing he does is take his shoes off and thrown them off stage xD

I also really liked the swashbuckling (shhh I know it’s really called fencing but I’m calling it swashbuckling okay!) between Will and Michael - it wasn’t just a physical battle between them but also a mental one of who could do better in the exams and stuff.

Speaking of Michael (Mikael?), I had MAJOR deja vu during a Mikael x William scene that takes place right after the Butler Yagi’s song. It was totally freaking me out majorly because I was like ‘I’ve already seen this! I know what’s happened. I know this happens! Please stop...please!!’ it went on for pretty much that entire scene and I have no idea why....

The replacement for Kevin was really good too! Unfortunately I did like the previous Kevin so I have some there BUT the new Kevin (Tamura Ryouta) was a damn good singer too!

Dantalion and Sytry got SO beaten up towards the end - it hurt my heart! And the infamous ‘why doesn’t Solomon remember Dantalion?!’ scene was in there which is great (and heartbreaking!). I really liked when Dan and Sytry were going against each other, Sytry’s song is very rocky-ish and his voice is very strained and deep and strangely enough I really enjoyed it - you could feel Sytry’s pain in the song! Not that that’s a good thing - poor Sytry!

Also, the actor for Leonard dropped out due to poor health just before the show started, however, whatever scenes he was supposed to be in, it’s pretty impossible to figure out where because they covered it up flawlessly. I can only think of one moment where it’s sort of obvious where he was supposed to be and that was during the Butler Yagi’s long solo song in the middle of the show; as well as the Sytry’s bulter vs Dantalion’s butler when it comes to cooking scene because the Butler Yagi is on stage at that moment on Dantalion’s side of the stage (am I making sense?). But other than that, they’ve made it look like it was planned and made without the guy from the start which is huge kudos to them.

The clothemble were great! They had so much to do. Same as the last musical, they had to be the magic (sheets xD) when the character fought, and they had to rotate the stage or spin it around; also this time they ended up splitting Isaac’s character between them and played like generic school students but with parts of Isaac’s lines and stuff put in. They had a lot to do and were constantly up and down the stairs and running in and out. They did a brilliant job and there were only two of them! Huge kudos to them too!

By the way: No one warned me to take tissues!!! I streamed!!! That final scene between Dantalion and William! Oh my! I was crying so hard! This play is so much that when the serious parts come in, they are REAL serious and real dark and it just hits you and the tears just pour out...

CURTAIN CALL!

The show I went to had three curtain calls! So we had the first curtain call, then in the second one the clothemble were the speakers for today and they gave their speeches while back-to-back and rotating around so they could face all the audience at one point. They started off by ‘usually it’s jsut one person speaking and they’re normally worried as to where to look but there’s two of us so we can turn around and talk to all of you!’ which was adorable! They were really sweet. The final curtain call, Masshu said thank you to us all and then we ALL got waves from ALL the actors at the end as they left the stage for good! And with everyone being in obvious site of everyone else, you knew the actors were ACTUALLY looking at you when they waved. Oh my heart <3 Yone... Taiyou... Keito.... ARGH I was dead xD

GOODS

I’m still on a mission to get the two Sytry randoms - KBooks is probs my best bet... is Keito popular enough to be a ridiculous price though... knowing me; yes.

My goods from the 2.5 Exhibition are here too xD And I accidentally cut Sytry off .<

And that’s all!

Unfortunately I was sick recently (the week of Nov 13th) so while these reviews were technically written pretty soon after the shows were seen, I didn’t get time to post them until now -- I’m sorry!
