Blooming Interviews - Isogai Ryuko (USA)

Facing the series culmination in the live, what sort of things did you think about?

I thought that at least let this be the best live, and at least let the people that come to see us have fun. I only thought that even though this would be thought of as the last, I would make this a live that would seem to overturn that.

In rehearsals, I’m sure the chance for you to think about the productions and company up until now has increased, but if you have one, please tell us about an episode from within that which left an impression.

At any rate, the members all got along well, and really understood each other. Among them, I can’t forget that Hirose was very bright and seemed to be having fun. We surely were a family. And with Hirose, being invited to things like going somewhere to drink really made me happy!

On the day of the live, what was the scenery you saw from the stage?

I thought I wanted to make everyone have more fun! Since we’re Hetamyu members, we can do it!

In the live, numerous songs were presented, but what was your favorite song or a song that left the most impression?

The Storage Cleaning was really amazing. That was amazing. But I have no memories from singing it.

Please tell us about a backstage episode that happened within the live (actual day/rehearsal period).

Okki really doesn’t have interesting jokes. Conversely, he’s a really good person. But when he get drunk, he goes into casual talk lol

For about three years, you played the role of America. What were those three years like?

Those three years were like a dream. In any case I really felt I was living with family, we shared the good and bad times, and when the live ended, I thought this was the first time in my life where I was lonely. Well, up until here I answered seriously but since that’s out of my character, starting with the next one/answer I’m going to joke around. Sorry!

During the time you played America, what was happiest moment for you?

As expected, for the song “Let’s Have a Home Party” which is the one that suddenly came to mind, the group of staff members that interacted with me were really comfortable and the audience were really fired up! Dammit! I can’t joke! Why can’t I even do this!? Say something more tasteful! What the hell! Jeez!

Please tell us what ‘Hetamyu’ is to you.

Love… I guess. Dammit!!! I really said those cheesy words! My emotional attachment is too stong! How frustrating!

Finally, please give a message to all of the fans.

Words of ‘Thank you!’ up until now are Nonsense!! What to do next! Next, what will we do!?           Ryuko Isogai, role of America

Blooming Interviews - Ueda Keisuke (Japan)

Facing the series culmination in the live, what sort of things did you think about?

With the feeling that the crowning glory was graciously watched over by everyone, for us, I really felt that it was a truly blessed ending. And I was facing it with strong feelings like, so long as I do it and display the absolutely finest thing, since it’s the last one, I don’t want to regret it.

In rehearsals, I’m sure the chance for you to think about the productions and company up until now has increased, but if you have one, please tell us about an episode from within that which left an impression.

I cause a lot of trouble for everyone by being unsure if I’d be able to perform in this Final Live, having difficulty schedule-wise, and being unable to participate in many of the actual rehearsals. That why I only have feelings of gratitude towards everyone of the staff and cast that continued to support me. Everyone felt it was the ending in their hearts, but on the surface we didn’t show that kind of behavior until we were standing on the stage. The one who showed the most sadness on the surface was probably Yoshitani-san, I guess? He frequently wiped tears away as he pretended to wipe off sweat from the training with a towel. (Lol) Everyone feeling the corners of our eyes get hot from seeing that state probably left the deepest impression.

On the day of the live, what was the scenery you saw from the stage?

At any rate, from the start, I was extremely nervous. Standing on the Makuhari Messe stage, and despite needing to give the best performance, honestly speaking, I was worried thinking that I was lacking preparation. However, gradually, I was able to calm down and feel that everyone brought me to this wonderful place. I felt from the bottom of my heart that I’m glad I was able to meet Hetamyu and Hetalia.

In the live, numerous songs were presented, but what was your favorite song or a song that left the most impression?

That I was able to sing “One, Two, and Three, Japan, Germany, and Italy” together with Ryoki and Yusuke. And that we were able to sing “Christmas Arrives Anywhere”.

Please tell us about a backstage episode that happened within the live (actual day/rehearsal period).

Yoshitani-san playing the role of Japan and singing several of the songs all the way through on the days I was unable to attend the rehearsals. (Lol) In order to practice on my own, I’d receive those videos and check them at my home, but Yoshitani-san’s performance that was overflowing with love would unintentionally have me laughing, and it was a bit of a hindrance during practice. Lolol

For about three years, you played the role of Japan. What were those three years like?

‘Japan’ as a character is a polite person, doesn’t bring himself out to the front, and is nothing but modest; so through playing that sort of role which honestly seems to be the exact opposite from me, I prepared for the role while thinking of things like ‘just how exactly will I portray this role to the guests?’. I feel like I’ve also surely become kinder by coming in contact with ‘Japan’ during those three years! Lol

During the time you played Japan, what was happiest moment for you?

Let me see, the happiest moment was when, as the Axis Powers, we said “We will drink delicious beer!” while toasting, and when we toasted with everyone underneath the sakura tree. There was a story, and the theme was very peaceful. For myself as an individual and for Japan as well, it was a very happy moment.

Please tell us what ‘Hetamyu’ is to you.

For me as a human and as an actor, Hetamyu is a place where I can become very affluent. It was a place where everyone in the company respected each other’s good points, and conversely, clearly pointed out each other’s lacking points, and were able to lift everyone up together. It would be nice if, once again some day, we were all able to meet and laugh while under a tree.

Finally, please give a message to all of the fans.

Thank you for all the love Hetamyu Forever ♡ Once again, some day…           Keisuke Ueda           🇯🇵Japan

New Hetamyu News!

As a way to provide entertainment during this period of self-quarantine, company 4cu’s official LINE LIVE account will be hosting free livestreams of ALL Hetamyu productions as well as other select musicals and stage plays! Starting from tomorrow, April 26, they will be having five straight days of Hetamyu all the way until April 30. And after each showing, the lives will be in their archive for two (2) days afterwards for anyone who missed it to view.

The schedule is as follows and all times listed are according to Japan Standard Time (once you open the link to the 4cu LINE LIVE account, the times should automatically be set to your own timezone):

Sunday, April 26, starting from 8:00 pm (20:00): Hetalia ~Singin’ in the World~ Monday, April 27, starting from 8:00 pm (20:00): Hetalia ~The Great World~ Tuesday, April 28, starting from 8:00 pm (20:00): Hetalia ~in the new world~ Wednesday, April 29, starting from 8:00 pm (20:00): Hetalia ~A World in the Universe~ (Makuhari/Tokyo) Thursday, April 30, starting from 8:00 pm (20:00): Hetalia ~A World in the Universe~ (Osaka)

The two showings of WU are listed as two separate timeslots for a total of four timeslots dedicated to WU (presumably to separate them into first half and second half, cause these shows are LONG) so there are also times listed for 10:30 pm (22:30) on both the 29th and 30th.

As I have never used LINE LIVE before, I am not sure whether or not the app or website requires an account to watch these, but from my brief look around the site, it looks like there shouldn’t be too much of an issue in watching these shows. (I was able to play the archived Amnesia re:again Musical just fine on my computer and in the app, however the app is restricted to just the Japan iTunes store so unless you know how to skirt around that, I’d suggest sticking to the link I have provided down below.)

[Magazine] To The New World of Love: Groom-to-be Q&A

From  Otomedia 2015 June Issue scanned by kurukurumaki​

Italy

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “As long as I get YES for an answer, I’m willing to take the challenge and propose in any way! (unless it’s scary or if it hurts) But if I am to propose in my own style… I’ll probably just do it casually without being too stiff and formal, like usual!���

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “Well~ I want a ceremony that’s wow and glamourous, yay yay and lots of fun, and with lots and lots of delicious food! ”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Germany, of course!  He’s just too straight-laced… eh, wait, nooo your face is too scary stop glaring at me like thatttt!!! (cry)”

Germany

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “Since it’s about two people making an important decision for their lives, I’d like to organize it properly by first making an appointment with my partner and dressing in formal clothes.  The location… should be somewhere indoor, so it won’t become affected by the weather.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I’m not particularly picky about it, but I think it’s a good idea to have a solemn ceremony in a church.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Probably… Japan. The fact that he’s attracted to those who aren’t in the same dimension as him… tldr”

Japan

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I have a strong yearning for a love confession under a Tree of Legend.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A traditional Japanese Shinto wedding ceremony in Kimono would be lovely.  It’s about time I become more serious with developing technologies that will bring my bride out of the computer screen.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “It would be terribly rude of me to answer such a question… I am very sorry but I cannot answer that.”

England

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I think it’d be rather nice and romantic to propose on a ship, while reminiscing the glorious Age of Discovery.”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A grand wedding ceremony full of majesty and style of the Great Britain Empire.  After vowing eternal love to each other at the cathedral, I would like to hold a splendid wedding reception at the Buckingham Palace Ballroom.”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “He’s not one of the five guys here, but France.  Because he’s naked.”

America

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I want my proposal to be during Superbowl halftime or right in front of Times Square with national tv live stream, it sounds like fun and a total blast!”

- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I just want it to be something cool!  Maybe we can combine all the resources and technology of NASA and have a wedding on the moon?”

- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Hmm… probably England? He becomes too obsessed with everything he does, so he can be too overbearing.”

Happy birthday Trevo! This looks nothing like a gift art, but I thought it would be fun to visualize her casual mention of Spain wearing this outfit. This year we started talking more to each other thanks to twitter, and I got to say I enjoyed all the hilarious conversations even more than before! Continue being awesome!

[aphimatalia]

Czech’s design didn’t even change that much from the oldest sketch, what took so long?  My first order of business with new characters in traditional clothing, knowing that theirs would be a very tedious but super fun to do! Tried my best with as many references I could find but still unsure of a lot of things lol.

Counting down the days and drawing the trashiest of the trash idea. Totally self indulgent. I apologize for my existence.
