Today on why Dadbastian is fucking stupid, I was rewatching Tango on the Campania for the twentieth time this year and just wanted to point out the way Yuta portrays Sebastian responding to the prospect of being Ciel's "father." Yuta, who Yana, herself has deemed the most accurate portrayal of her character, plays the demon not only recoiling at the sentiment, but reiterating his distaste for it not once but TWICE.

"Father...?"

"Father??"

"FATHER??" 👿 (Translation: "what the fuck did you just call me, you pest of a brat????")

I love this because it shows off Yuta's subtle acting that he does even when he's not centre stage (these are all little asides that are almost off-screen), but also because it's a play into Sebastian's hilarious sensitivity about being called old or paternal.

I think nothing would annoy Sebastian more than being referred to as a parental figure, or even a guardian for his master. I think he very much sees Ciel as an equal, rather than a child he is rearing. It goes against his aesthetic.

古川雄大 The Greatest Concert vol.1 -collection of musicals-

At both concert performances today, Yuta told the audience that the Kuroshitsuji Musicals remain heavily in his heart. He even rewatches them on occasion. He went on to say he watches the uploads on YouTube and then quickly corrected himself to say he watches the DVDs 😂

(ಠ_ಠ) ...and here we go agai- Oh! (Ô-Ô)✨

As analysed in this post, Sebas was most probably quite unhappy about getting summoned, and his past experience of being in contracts likely mostly mind-numbingly boring.

This part of him was excellently portrayed by Sebastyun in Tango on the Campania (2018). When Sebas said: “now, choose,” and the first thing Ciel said was: “I want power...I want power that is second to nobody’s,” Sebastyun walked away from the cage, pulling a disapproving face. (ಠ_ಠ) Almost shouting: “ugh, and here we go again... a human who wants power...”

But then the little child added: “I want power to take revenge on the ones who made us suffer!” Suddenly Sebastyun’s eyes sparked up. (Ô-Ô) “Say whaaat??? Oh, a little child who wants a bloody revenge?”

Hereunder is a zoomed in and slowed down gif of that phenomenal change in expression (*´▽｀*)

This musical happened before the release of the chapter concerned, so Furukawa either read the character so well he managed to predict Sebas’ reaction, OR he inspired Yana... Either way, chef’s kisses to him.👌👌👌

I was scrolling through pinterest yesterday and I happened apon this ☆gem☆

see, I unfortunately don't have the opportunity to watch all of the musicals ;-; so I have no idea what context this thing is in(though my best guess would be the ptsd scene in book of circus cause one of the gloves is missing??? idk i don't remember it from tango).

but yea because I could,

there's not much purpose to this I just wanted to.

miss you bro, every one of your facial expressions were stellar. and canon so I appreciate that. but I'll be open minded towards the new sebas!

also i really hope I'm wrong and that isn't the ptsd scene cause to me it looks like "M'Lord, oh is that asthma there??" I'm sure he's just accepting an order though. right

I don't love a single thing more in this world than Yunbastian he has my whole heart.

Yunbastian looking down on humanity

At the end of each musical, Yunbastian gets a chance to look down on Humanity (and since version 4, he has a higher tier on the stage to do it too).

And of course this was probably the original (and the most epic) scene.

אני כל כך אוהבת את המחזמר הזה נננננננננננננ

To my darling mutuals who have not watched the Kuromyus, either by choice or because you haven't had the chance to, I implore you to at the very least watch Tango on the Campania (Kuromyu'17). You don't have to watch any others if you don't want to. Tango is very much the "magnum opus" or Kuromyus, and is absolutely delicious from the casting, to the music, to the frame-by-frame accuracy.... I also think it adds a dimension to the story that both the manga and anime don't provide.

If anyone wants to have a watch party, please let me know and I will hook everyone up. I beg you.

Furukawa about Sebastian -2021

On the 11th of January a mini concert for Furukawa fanclub members was scheduled. Due to the increased number of Corona infections, Furukawa has decided to cancel live audience attendance, and held a live stream for members instead.

When he announced the cancellation before, he said:

“Everyone, unfortunately the situation has come to a point where we just have to cancel the live spectator attendance. Before you go anywhere, please, please consider your health first, it is the most important thing. Somebody has to consider it, and that person shall have to be you. Instead we shall have a live stream. I believe there are many people who might have experienced difficulty coming to the theatre, such as people who may have physical, time or other limitations. But now all such problems are no problems anymore, and theatre which I love becomes more accessible to different audiences.”

Instalive Saturday January 9th.

Then on the 11th, finally the Live Stream started!

The theatre was dark and the curtains still lowered. But then as the curtains started to rise a familiar tune started. “Da daaa da da da daaa♬!!” It was the song of the first zombie brawl in Tango on the Campania!! Furukawa wore all black, from top to toe and brought us the familiar song from three years ago with his now even further improved singing skills. Furukawa spoke:

“Indeed, we are in the Akasaka ACT theatre, the theatre in which we ran Kuromyu Lycoris that Blazed the Earth 2015 first. It sure brings back memories, and therefore I wanted to surprise everyone with a Black Butler song, namely “Aah.” Haha, it is a simple title is it not, just “Aah”?”

Then Furukawa was reading the fan live reactions from his iPad, most going: “OMG Kuro? OMG Sebastian? I really never dared dream of hearing Kuromyu songs again by you.”, to which Furukawa replied:

“Indeed, I also thought you’d think that, which is why I purposely chose to start the concert with a Kuromyu song. But one Black Butler song really would be selling us all too short! As I said before, this theatre was the theatre that hosted Lycoris 2015, so now I bring to you, “I shall be your pawn and sword”.

This song is a duet which cannot be sung by just one person. Besides, never did we dare hope to hear the song sung live again, much less by Furukawa himself! The music started, and Furukawa began the part of Sebastian. When Ciel’s part was supposed to be sung only the instrumentals played, and Furukawa respectfully allowed our own memories of Nayuta’s own voice play in our own heads.

When the part started where Sebas sung: “for you are my beautiful Lord”, Furukawa did his iconic swallowtail-flip (tails which his current jacket doesn’t even own XD)

...and knelt for us (〃д〃) 💗

“I shall be your pawn and sword” ended on an exceptionally warm note, and the audience chat was flooded with applause and tears.

Furukawa then spoke again:

“Black Butler really is something that will never leave me for it is so immensely important to me. From 2015 on I have played [Sebas] for three times, and those three times really... Sebas really helped me grow as a performer over the course of those three times, I really could witness my own growth. It really was Black Butler that shaped me, so I am honestly so grateful to this production. Thank you all so much for listening to these two songs.”

TT^TT✨

@akumadeshitsumon Give yourself some credit man……. I’m not saying what Furukawa does is not awesomeness itself, but you too really need to dive deep into Sebas’ psyche and even write out the thinking process… Being an ask-blog, there are many randomised and surprise elements that someone who works within the tracks of existing canon does not have to consider and answers to. (Though I am 200% sure Furukawa COULD. In fact, he probably just uses these theories to back his portrayal up.)

You already had so many amazing insights way before Yunbastian entered our world TT^TT Bless you both.

Not sure who is senpai, but I hope he notices you like you noticed him.

[[Hi hi admin, I saw @chibimyumi ‘s reblog of your Seb’s advice about playing Seb lol. So it made me wonder, do you happen to actually like Yuta!Seb? While reading your stuff I thought you might. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though! Have a good day/evening!]]

[[Hello anon! You guessed right, I really like Furukawa Yuuta’s depiction of Sebastian :) His way of thinking about Sebastian is very similar to mine, and I always love seeing how he depicts Sebastian’s demonic nature using his body and his voice. It seems a lot harder than just writing as I do xD

A good day/evening/night to you as well! ]]
