#I hope Ogotan like it

Stage and Musical ask game

i was tagged by @allyyyyy0619 and this idea is really fun ! i really likes going over all that i remmembered. And remember this is my opinion and doesn’t mean i am more right than you !

1) I am quite recent on the internet, i came to this wonderfull world from being an Xjapan and a tokusatsu fan, the first contact with musicals was 1 or 2 years ago through a french youtuber who made fun of shonen anime and showed a little tennimyu. I found it funny but not i don't like sports shonen very much. I started really looking into hakumyu a little under year ago because i wanted to look into more roles played by junya ikeda, and it was a whole new world opening for me.

2) The first question leads naturally to the second : the whole reason i started japanese musicals is a lack of Ikeda Junya series or movies... He is a good actor and i love his communicative smile and energy.

3) For stages i loved, it’s more complicated but i’ll stick to streams or dvd out this year :   

- Tousute saien (thanks in part for the subtitles since it's one of the first butai i watched and loved so much i tried some without)

- Tousute 2 (i loved the dvd version more than the stream and am impatiently waiting for the subs)

- Pattaliro even if i need subs for the madness of the middle portion i laughed so much seeing it. 

- Rengoku ni Warau (The previous stage is stellar and this one is on par with it and has a very good cast)

4) Concerning least favorite, i'll repurpose the question as the ones i couldn't watch until the end but it doesn't mean it's bad, just not the ones i loved  and could not tear my eyes from despite my limited japanese :

- Black rose alice (hard subject matter)

- Digimon butai (on my to watch list since summer but the puppets bug me)

- Diamond no ace stages (a sport that i know nothing about the stage lost me completely)

5) For the musical that were released(stream or dvd) this year the top 3 is difficult but these are my obsessions :

-  i need to cheat on the date for this one : the entirety of Toumyu since i fell in love with shunya at first viewing and the entire first team in general.  

-  Hakumyu harada-hen (first stream purchase ever after loving the first 6 hakumyu)

-  Ensemble Stars Judge of Knights

- B-pro theatre comes at quite close 4th place...

6) Least favorite musicals is easier, again it doesn't mean bad just those i watched at most twice and don't plan seeing again :

- Rusted Armors, probably because of the “rap” portion and the struggle to record it.

- Heinemyu i don’t know why, i’m just okay not seeing it again

- Kingpri (i can't get “behind” a certain scene)

7) Favorite actors frankly i have to do 2 rankings, my darlings and the genuinely good actors i like  :

1 Ohira Shunya

2 Sakurai Keito

3 Kashiwagi Yuusuke

4 Higuchi Yuta

But when it comes to best roles this year :

1 Suzuki Hiroki

2 Aramaki Yoshihiko

3 Suzuki Shogo

4 Kuroba mario / Ryuji Sato (can’t choose)

8) For me Mario, Ryuji and Tsubasa in a smaller mesure are out of this pool. Rookie or rising star actors :

1 Kashiwagi Yuusuke (not had the best choices in stages but osomatsu-san seems a winner for him)

2 Sana Hiroki (this kid has a bright futur)

3 Ohira Shunya (i think he is about to outgrow the rising star category and i have high hopes for him)

4 Spi   (i can’t belive Toumyu was one of his first japanese musicals)

9) For butai related drama/movie i won't be original but only for this one a won't cut on the 2017 date :

- Five (mario and ryuji of course)

- Hakuoki ssl series and movie (and tengentally the stages)

- Ayamekun (because of mario)

- counting sheep and shake the balance  (someya toshiyuki, tomoru akazawa and chantomo)

- messiah polar night (well i'm still trying to collect the pieces of my heart over this one)

10) For the  best singing voice these are the names that imediately pop in my mind :

- suzuki shougo

- sato ryuji

- ogoe yuuki

- sakiyama tsubasa

- spi

11 ) I’ll be brutally honnest on the one that had to grow on me : 

Toumyu mihotose live portion has taken a lot of time in the year to grow on me  but let’s admit it’s not a good idea to watch touken ranbu sai 2016 and mihotose back to back because of the godly level of ryuji/mario/ogotan/shunya.

12) Well, hard question this one since i barely watch anime and read manga but for the properties adaptations i am curious about  :

- Donten ni Warau gaiden (more of the series of warau is good)

- Final Fantasy would be fun

- XXX holic maybe already done i don’t know !

13) I'm not in a lot of fandom but hakuoki and touken ranbu are very welcoming

14) I’ve been in the fandom for around 10 month only.

15) As a recent addition, i love how open is the international community on tumblr. I have been really nice welcomed and found people to discuss with and i will do my best to be less shy when toumyu comes to paris again !

JSeries Festival 2017 Report

Jakarta, 9th December Upperroom Annex Building 10th Floor

First of all sorry this report was written on broken English because I do believe it’ll be a total fiasco if I wrote it in Indonesian, trust me Please forgive me if there’s any grammar / spelling mistakes (´;ㅿ;｀) Also, taking photos was strictly prohibited when the talk show started inside the venue, that’s why I only have 4 badly taken photos on the photo session for the report orzz

If you’re looking for certain guest artist report please just scroll down because it’s gonna be a poorly written long ass report LMAO

This is the shortest dead-lined trip I ever done in my life, like it’s less than 2 weeks & I almost surrender because of office deadlines were crammed up into 4 days Also my phone was broken when the announcement was out Jakarta is a complicated place & I’m hella afraid straying there all alone, but luckily I have some friends who offer me place to stay ｡ﾟ(ﾟ^o^ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Special thanks to Maya & Shadent who let me stay at their place [and I still feel bad kicking Maya from her bed LMAO I’m so sorry orzz]

December 8th 2017

So the day before I was going to Jakarta, I woke up at 4am to pack my stuff but still almost late for the train departure LOL The train supposed to depart at 7.35am & I just arrived at the station at 7.20am I was running around like an idiot I swear 😂

I arrived in Jakarta at 11am  went to the ticket venue as soon as I can I met with friends I already know & some new friends, which I forgot--😂 They even let me touch their bromide collection [& took photo of it gsxcvjgacxg]

I’m screeching like an idiot when I saw SatoKiyo bromide because-- do I need to explain this part???  ((유∀유|||))

After exchanging email reservation with the ticket & having lunch, we went to karaoke & I almost lost my voice in the process

At night I really want to bang my head because I’m contemplating whether I should draw a gift for Ogotan or not since there’s no announcement of gift box for guest artist & I forgot to ask the staff about it too orzz But I decided to draw art gift for him in the night yet unable to finish because I was too sleepy, exhausted, & nearly heat-stroked because Jakarta heat is never a joke to begin with If you’re weak against sun-heat like me please bring umbrella / hat & put as many sunscreen & sunblock as you can, I mean it

December 9th 2017

The next day I woke up at 4am sharp but was shocked to my spine because Maya was sleeping on the floor instead on the bed  (´･_･`) Since we both still sleepy we decided to continue sleeping again but now it’s my turn to sleep on the floor ofc

We woke up again at 7am & doing satan speed preparations because the traffic is gonna be nasty if we’re late for real

We managed to arrived on the venue at 9am something I took a shortcut to get to the empty spot because my bag is hecking heavy & I can’t wait to sit, this resulting to the gate-border-thing to snap & fall, sorry security-san I’m too eager orzz

After that we sit on the line until open gate time I spend my time rolling around back & forth to some friends while waiting I even can continue the gift for Ogotan & finished it on time Since we forgot to buy envelope for the fan letter I decided to sacrifice my red folder file to contain all the letter for Ogotan

I swear I was nervous as heck when people start staring at it like hjvghcvaxhjdvvf no I’m not cheating on Ryuji this is just a normal gift yet some people still teasing me about it until now ((유∀유|||))

Oh I also met friends from previous karaoke session Alchemilla, Caneera, Kuyo, Maya, Evelyn, Salfa, Shadent, Nopi, Ika, Nindita, Nadya, & idk the rest please remind me because my memory was as bad as Higekiri or even worse---  ┏( .-. ┏ ) ┓

2:45pm Open Gate

We’re running a little bit late from schedule but finally we entered the hall I got the first row seat on the middle wing, I sit on the left side right across to the press chair row on the left wing Never have I felt so blessed before, it’s so close to the stage I swear I can even jump over the fence if I want to, but of course I won’t do that la I still have some sanity intact

The rest of this report was based on my memory so please kindly tell me if I made any mistake over the schedule / what the artist said or do OK?  |ω･`)

The MC was Hiroaki Kato [the cool & kind oyaji] also a pretty lady who I failed to remember her name oops sorry  (´･_･`)

In the opening we have many dorama screenings, & if you’re curious the list of dorama can be found here 

Saso Yuki fangirl section

The first guest artist to appeared was Saso Yuki the P*cari Sweat girl on youtube I never think she will be this pretty up close I swear she’s prettier IRL, the photo / video you saw were nothing hvfkacvxgyuedf  (///﹏///).｡oஇ

She greets & introduces herself in Indonesian. The rest of talk show was about acting & stuff. She also talk about the making of P*cari Sweat TVC Yuki Saso hope Indo & Japan can have greater relationship in the near future

IDK if it’s just me, but when I was too busy gaping like a fish & stare at her for solid minutes, she look at my direction and waved and smiled so bright AND I JUST DIED HDVGSHHJVCSJBC I swear she’s sooooooooo sooooooooooooooo pretty that you could melt when she’s smiling LOL I forgot things she said since I was dumb-strucked by her beauty

After that we had another screening time

Nano fangirl section

The next guest artist to perform was Nano She’s also gorgeous up close & she’s very happy to perform in Indonesia since she was cancelling her previous concert in Jakarta due to some circumstances She also told us that the venue her concert supposed to be held was this exact venue we’re sitting on & we’re going “whoaaa” in unison

When Nano was going to sing, the sound system died--- The audience was very supportive & cheer her up with kind words The Nano support team was amazing, you guys rocks!  (≧∇≦ ) If I’m not mistaken Nano sing “Savior of Song” & “The Crossing” It was amazing performance, we stand & sing along together

Next we have another screening time

Isomura Hayato & Yahagi Honoka fangirl section

After screening time, there’s guest artist arrived & I scream on top of my lungs because I thought it was Ogotan But false alarm, It’s actually Isomura Hayato from Kamen Rider Ghost & I still screamed anyway  ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`) This talk session was also attended by Yahagi Honoka-chan & I was dumb-strucked by another beauty LMAO Seriously she’s so cute up close  (灬ºωº灬)♡

Their first impression of Indonesia was it’s hot but they both like it since its freezing winter on Japan Both talk a lot of things, about acting & stuff. Both were asked if there’s drama collaboration with Indonesia will they interested or not but of course the fans said the deadpanned big big no since Indonesia soap opera quality is kinda-- well-- you decide la--😂

I don’t remember what they talk because I forgot to take notes of it But there’s this section when Hayato-kun asked why he become a Kamen Rider, he said it’s his dream to protect girls [he clearly said ‘Josei’ here] Hiroaki-san teases us “Who want to be protected by Hayato-kun?” And this dork whose name is Hayato-kun just casually stretch his hands out to audience direction while nodding, like offering a hug Of course the fangirls roars the signature “KYAAAAAAAA” including me Who don’t want to be protected by a handsome guy anyway??  (//∇//)

Another funny thing, when I was staring right into Hayato-kun [he’s so gorgeous IRL I swear] idk if he realized I was staring or he’s actually looking at the press which is right across my seat-- He look at my direction A LOT & I pretend to stare at Honoka-chan, this happened many many times it feels awkward LMAO o)-(;;; I keep chanting “Hayato-kun please don’t look over here, just lemme enjoy your gorgeous face peacefully”, but he keep looking at my direction once in a while Oh well, considered it blessings  ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)

When the times up we had another screening TADAAAAAH it’s YOWAPEDAAAAAAA I was soooooo prepared to see Ogotan but since I can see towards the backstage entrance it’s actually a female silhouette walking to the stage

AND DAFUQ IT’S ACTUALLY YUKI KATO LMAO  😂 😂 😂

Being a country field person I’m, I still scream because she was also one of my childhood fav actress on Heart movie since she’s so cute & relatable as duck LMAO

She talked a lot about acting, awards she won in Japan, & so on The funny part is, when she was asked what kind of movie she like to watch she gesture “mampus gue” with her lips which can be roughly translated as “sht I’m screwed” 😂   

No worries Yuki-chan, we understand that fangirl feeling, really 😂 😂 😂

After talk with Yuki-chan, the kameko-ninja-guy set some band property so I relax a little, thinking it was Rei performance

Never been I’d be so wrong in my life

Ogoe Yuuki massive fangirl section

When Hiroaki-san announce the next guest artist I nearly fell of my chair because FINALLY OGOTAN APPEARED HOLYDUCKXVHSVKVXHTXAKOZ

I wonder if I actually died on the spot because Ogotan look so gorgeous & cute & pure & angelic idk man I’m wheezing my life out  (´×ω×`) He wore a suit which has the same color as my attire & I got teased again orzz

First he was greeting us with a broken Indonesian along with a sheepish smile His jumbled face when he ask Hiroaki-san how to read the Indonesian language, it was soooo so cute, so pure, so angelic, so fluffy hhhnnnggghhhhhhh He continue the gibberish Indonesian greetings cutely which we all failed to understand, the audience went “???” & he also went a little “???”  😂 

Its okay Ogotan, we still love you 😂 

His first impression of Indonesia was it’s extremely hot ofc Hiroaki-san offered if he had any intention to bike around while in Indo But of course the Ogotan support team won’t let him, giving him the no gestures and chanting “dame-dame-dame” together  😂  We don’t want Ogotan to bike in these messy road & of course Indonesian sun is unhealthy for his flawless skin so NOPE  ლ(ಠ益ಠლ WE SHALL PROTECT OGOTAN AT ANY COST!! - said someone

He talked about acting, dorama, and also butai. He explained to us the differences between dorama & butai, their specialty & so on For example is when he’s on Yowapeda butai he only use bike handle, while in dorama he need to bike for real

Between the talk he sends lots lots of heart gestures, both Korean heart finger sign & full fledged love hand sign toward the audience & there goes the audible “KYAAAAA” signature roaring from back to the front including me LMAO

He keep smiling & shooting heart & sending loves & waving & idk man

I feel so attacked when he look at a folder file I was carrying earlier I decided to showed it to him when he’s looking & making “it’s for you” hand gestures He smiled at me, HE SMILED AT ME FOR DUCK SAKE & SEND ME A FULL FLEDGET HEART SIGN WITH BOTH HAND & I JUST MELT IN THE NAME OF LORD I WAS NEARLY DIED LMAO  ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇωஇﾟ)ﾟ｡

It’s hecking embarrassing so I just cover my face with the folder file but Ogotan seems to know I was a weakling & he keep shooting me heart sign & tilt his head cutely & I died again & again LMAO OGOTAN STOPPP I CAN’T HANDLE IT GXBXCHSGLGBLTFXGKHS

[I need to apologize to Ryuji later I swear]

He talks about a lot of stuff but I barely remember what he talk on stage since what I heard & remember were just "KYAAA KYAAA KYAA” from start to the end I kinda feel bad for Hiroaki-san because his translations were drowned between sea of fangirl screams  ( ；∀；)

When the talk session time is up, there goes another fangirl scream, the saddest one you’ll ever heard, it feels like you just kicked a kitten / puppy

I was also started crying without I realize because I always cry when fangirling By I mean crying was rolling literal tears from my eyes because I’m a weakling to every people I adore including actors, singers, whatever

Here comes the angst I’m so so sad because we only can see him for about 15 minutes & after that idk when will we can see him again so I started crying for real but inaudible one ofc

By the end of the talk, Ogotan said something like : “Thank you for loving me. It was my motivation & it supports me to keep going on. Thank you very much & please take care of me too in the future”

I don’t remember the exact thing he said but he does say ‘Aisarete’ something something & on here my friend who understand Japanese better was already bawling  ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ ｡

AND CAN YOU GUESS WHAT?? HE LOOK AT MY DIRECTION AGAIN & SEND ME ANOTHER HEART SIGN & OF COURSE I WAS CRYING EVEN MORE LA OMFG WHAT A WRONG MOVE OGOTAN LMAOOO CRYYYYYYYYYYY  .˚‧º·(ฅдฅ｡)‧º·˚. He also kindly send me a “nakanaide” gesture with his lips & I’m sending him an OK sign while wiping my tears LMAO what am I doing with my life, really I started thinking if I’m being delusional & Ogotan never did any of these but please, just let me be 😂💖

After that Ogotan fangirl time was over & I’m still crying LMAO HAHHAHAH He keep shooting hearts & smiles so bright it can light up the whole universe The audience finally fall silent after he return to the backstage

After Ogotan talk is over, it’s Rei turn to perform At that time my soul was still flying & can’t even process what’s happening because my head hurts so much from too many screaming & crying LMAO

BUT TADAAHHHH there’s a surprise attack by the end of the event LMAO.

There’s actually some envelope attached at the bottom of each audience chair Inside each of the envelope there’s a name of guest artist written, there’re 10 envelope in total

7 of the lucky audience will get a board which autographed by the guest The other 3 was the luckiest mustard ever existed on earth who got a chance to take a photo with the guest artist LIKE (ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻ Since I’m bad in gambling of course I don’t get any la what do you expect

I can hear envy screeching from back to the front, in this segment finally we’re allowed to took some photos, & there’s a crowd photo from the stage too but IDK Press-san tachi, I’m waiting for the better photo here  ( ˘•ω•˘ ).｡oஇ

I’m unable to took more than 4 photos because I was squished to the gate from back & it’s hard balancing phone with one hand so here comes the blurry quality photos I managed to snap between the chaos

While taking photos we managed to catch Yuki Kato attention Being the good fangirl we’re, we keep gesturing her “THIS THING IS FOR OGOTAN” while pointing at Ogotan continuously LOL She replied with hand gestures “How should I tell him about it???”

Ogotan seems realizing what’s happening & smiles to us cutely And the front row died again LMAO

I swear Yuki Kato is a fangirl in crime, thank you for helping us Yuki-chan!  ヾ(｡>﹏<｡)ﾉﾞ✧*

Finally, the event end for real  ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`) I was running around to find a way to give Ogotan’s gift art & apparently there’s a gift box [which actually is a gift desk] prepared for it by the staff

We part our ways & I’m recharging my flying soul with friends, eating Yoshin*ya while contemplating whether is it a real life or just a fantasy

After that I went to Shadent’s home for resting, we watch some Kamen Rider episodes before finally collapsing on bed in less than 5 minutes LMAO

It was really a fun day, I’m having a great experience & I’m gonna cherish this memory forever ever ever and ever!!  ｡✧*｡( ´∩•͈ω•͈∩` )✧*｡

Otsukaresamadesu JSeries Festival Jakarta!  See you next time!!  (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧

Please bring Ryuji in the next event, I beg you  ((유∀유|||))

[kuronumayamiko]

J Series Festival 2017 on Indonesia. Thank you for coming to Indonesia 😊😊. Still not believing I can see you live! I always wondering to meet one of my bias and now I just met one of my bias. The real Ogotan are cuter and so dazzling 😁😁 he also looks so humble, like he even noticing his fans waving and shouting his name and he wave at us back (well, it's happened to me). Hope you can go back to here another day~

[akirakuroyume]

Oh, so they did replace Ogotan with another actor

I mean, I love Shougo and stuff but it's hella sad

This is predictable and not shocking

Like, totally predictable

But somehow I'm actually sad

Like, Ogotan ia the reason why I jumped into this Toumyu hell

And I'm not gonna get angry or anything

Patiently waiting to see what keeps him away from coming back though

Hmm... He hasn't appeared on stage much recently, and I actually miss him

But, at first I'm just gonna support Shougo and also Shou as Kane-san

Hope they could fix the gap Ogotan left

I'm sure they can, I mean

TouMyu Yume Hitotsu Mini Album Reviews!!

So I finally got to listen to the new TouMyu songs after being so busy this past week. So I consider this a treat for very hard work this week as I worked myself a little to much this week……

Do check out the translations here as my japanese atm is terrible and I haven’t had time to study it lately.  This post should direct you to the translations as I am still learning to use Tumblr and I have no clue how to get links for posts yet XD

http://rz-jocelyn.tumblr.com/post/159357690141/hello-thank-you-so-much-for-the-touken-ranbu

(Just warning ya……it’s an overly long list ahead and it took me almost an hour and a half to complete.)

~~~~

Quick note before the actual review so people dont get mad at me later on:In all honesty……….Nagasone and Hachisuka did not impress me at all……I find that their voices are super weak compared to everyone else when doing duets. Yes i understand Imari and Kensuke were the Kostetsu brothers, but their voices just don’t match……Kensuke has a deeper voice than Imari (which should be flopped since Nagasone has the deeper voice in game where as Hachisuka has the higher one) I like their versions of the songs but seriously…….I can’t really stand their songs as of right now and they definatly have to grow on me. I might end up liking them later on but for now its just not there for me (My dad had commented and said they sounded like they were still going through puberty, but he knows all of the actors are adults since my cousins are very huge with Butai actors and other Butai things.)

~~~~

So the first song I will review is………Heart-To-Heart!!!

 Horikawa and Kane-san…….I freaking love their voices together!!!!! Ogotan and Shoutarou’s voices blend so well together!! They make me want to sing along with them every time I listen to their voices!!!! Honestly they make such a good duo and I’m very glad that they got cast as Horikawa and Kane-san! Their version of Heart-To-Heart is so cute! I love Horikawa’s parts the most!! Ogotan really did a good job at his part and played it well!!

Now for Kashuu and Yamato!! OmG…………the voice dynamics that they have together though!!!!! It makes me overly happy compared to Horikawa/Kane-san’s version. I love how Ryuji puts so much energy into the chorus as well as Toripyo. They blend so well and in all the times I have listened to their version, I have sang along each time.They make everything sound so well and with me being a music student, listening to the dynamics helps with my pitch range significantly. (especially Ryuji’s voice since I sing an octive or more above him so singing along is helping me with my studies….not to mention the lyrics get stuck in my head quite quickly! xD)

Just a side note……when both say “You and I are two of a kind” I kinda lost it since their pronuncation is actually extremely good for English not being their native language. ^°^

Next song is……..Prologue!!!

So…….whats my thoughts on Imari and Kensuke’s version you ask?? Well Its good but like I said before their voices have to grow on me before I make my final judgement. I feel as though Imari slurred quite a bit and Kensuke sounds kinda like he is straining which is not the best combo to have in the audio that thousands of fangirls are potentially willing to buy. Its quite good however for me not really liking them all to well. Its the same with Ryo and Daichi. their voices had to grow on me and now i find them so sexy its not even funny now! XD

Now for Horikawa/Kane-san!! Ahh!!! This version is so cute!! Yes I know that both versions are the same, but their voices blend so much better for me and I don’t hear really any slurring or straining going on. I have to praise Ogotan as his voice is so adoreable and he makes me wanna hug him so much! Again this is another song that I have been singing along to each time I listen to it as it is just so cute!!!

Now for……..Beautiful Tragedy!!!

So………Imari and Kensuke sang this one as well…..its OK but not to my liking. Yes I realize that they are the ones that sang it first but I find the Kashuu/Horikawa and the Kashuu/Yamato versions much better. I just have this weird issue with their voices and how they don’t blend as well together as the other voices do. As much as I hate to say it, I just don’t like their voices all to much. There’s to much to cover about their voices and it makes me really sad to say that.

So how about Kashuu/Yamato’s version…..what do I think about that?? HOLY FUDGE THEY’RE SO GOOD!!!!!! (My quote 2017)

 Well straight from the beginning at the “woah” part I was in heaven. Like seriously when Ryuji does the woahs behind Yamato it makes me go nuts. Yes I’m probably being 1000% biased since he is my favorite butai actor but he makes everything sound so much better!!! His husky and deep voice (did I also mention Sexy or no?? XD) blends so beautifully with Toripiyo’s higher pitched voice (which clearly he had to practice since he has a deeper voice than what I thought at first……) I can’t get over this song and its at the top of my TouMyu Bakumatsu Playlist. I love the bridge the most as it slows down and I can really hear Ryuji’s dynamics up against Toripiyo’s. I love the way they say “NOW AND FOREVER” as it sounds so sexy and like something I shouldn’t be listening to for my youngb age, but seriously when it comes to Ryuji I can’t back away. >.

Overall I love all of the songs so much!! The order that I will mist likely listen to them in is:

1. Beautiful Tragedy (Kashuu/Yamato)

2. Prolouge (Horikawa/Kane-san)

3. Heart-To-Heart (Kashuu/Yamato)

4. Heart-to-Heart (Horikawa/Kane-san)

5. Beautiful Tragedy (Hachisuka/Nagasone)

6. Prolouge (Hachisuka/Nagasone)

I can say that the Kashuu and Yamato duets are the strongest by listening to all of them. They convey the most emotion and make me sing to them every time I listen, the Horikawa and Kane-san ones are very strong as well but I think because I was so hyped to get the Kashuu and Yamato CDs I became overly biased as soon as I listened to them. As for Hachisuka and Nagasone…..I’m not the biggest fan, but I will try my best to listen to their versions when I get tired of listening to the other guys singing…..if that ever does happen xD

On one more note I must point out how well Ryuji blends so well with everyone in Yume Hitotsu and Hitohira no Kaze. He has the most control out if everyone else and it’s defiantly noticeable…..like when singing with Toripiyo, he’s what 5 years older than Ryuji, and Ryujui has way more control than him, even when listening to his raw vocals. He sounds like he has some of the best control I’ve evr heard in my life! (No amerivan male singer can nearly do it as well as Ryuji is a comment that I am making now as Ryuji is way better than any American male singer I have ever heard. I mean there are so many wonderful male singers out there in the american world, but its gotten to the point where all I listen to is japanese music since I can’t stand how overly sexualized the american music industry has become and how much boys sing about sex and that crap that me as a teenage girl doesn’t really want to talk about yet alone listen to…….) Ryuji has way more control than Toripiyo does in my opinion. For his age he has progressed so well and is growing to be such a seasoned performer. Coming from a performing arts and musical family I can tell the demeanor behind Ryuji and his actions. They might not be the best ideas ever but he puts so much effort into everything that he does and has excelled well over his comrads who have been in the business much longer than he has been. If he is reading this post I do wish him so much luck for his future and I congratulate him on all of his success!! He is well known in my music class (thanks to me, my boyfriend, and my best friend) and we all love his voice, even if we can’t understand you well. He has become very popular outside of Japan as well and many people know about him because of his beautiful works!!! Thank you so much for making these past 3+ years of my life so happy with your acting and singing!!!

Ryuji seriously derseves so much for everything that he’s done and I hope one day he gets an award for all of his work that has made so many people so happy.

Please support the boys by buying their albums as well as Team Sanjou’s albums on both the Japanese and International ITunes store.

Am i dreaming? OAo *bite myself* IT'S REAL OH GOD OH GOD IT'S REAL OGOTAN (and also Yahagi Honoka and Isomura Hayato) IS GOING TO INDONESIA!! ... more specifically ... Jakarta ... ... again. AND WHY IT'S ALWAYS HAVE TO BE JAKARTA? Well it's because Jakarta is the capital city in Indonesia. But despite capital or not, other cities like Bandung also would like to be visited (i said it because i live here. I'm sure if i live in Semarang i will said Semarang), Jakarta is not the only big city here... Well, i'm a bit surprised that Ogotan will come but i'm disappointed because i can't go there. I will just hope fans who come there will not embarrass Indonesia :D. Please give them good image of Indonesia so they would like to visit us again! Maybe next time to Bandung? Surabaya? Palembang? Yogyakarta? Semarang?

[whitesnowfoxy]

You know.. actually i dont really know sakamoto shogo.. what i know is just he was the past actors as echizen ryoma in tenimyu. I ever heard him singing in tenimyu but not really into his style back then.. then toumyu announced that he would replace ogotan as horikawa.. i'm shock and sad tho. I accept him but still feel sad over ogotan (in ogotan's part, maybe because something) So one day.. i think i need to see and hear the recent shogo, what kind of boy he become. Since he debut as a singer, so i try to search his recent performance or mv. Then.. boom.. shogoooo... I like your voice, your fashion style.. so sweet and gentle yet cute.. haha.. And now i'm so excited to see him in toumyu.. he is different from ogotan.. but i know i can counting in him.. especially in term of singing.. and i hope his voice will well-match with kaneshou and other member too.. And you know,, when i watched this mv, i smiling a lot.. but then i yell to him,, kinda,, especiall the last part.. and what i yell was.. "Heyyy... Shogooo... You need to kiss that girl.... 😤😤 " 😂😂😂😂

Withou U

Bakumatsu team without ogoe yuuki is the same as Girls' Generation without Jessica in term of group singing voice..

Incomplete.. something missing.. missing some great adlibs.. missing group's main vocal...

Like in GG/SNSD.. there are still taeyeon, seohyun, and tiffany (back then).. but since jessica was main vocal, did almost all adlibs and have unique voice colour.. GG felt so incomplete after jessica depture..

And in toumyu bakumatsu team.. just like GG/SNSD.. i feel so incomplete.. they are still have shoutaro and ryuji but since ogotan did almost all main part and high adlibs and harmonization which completing the song, when ogotan depture from team and toumyu,, they become... Ahh.. so incomplete.. ogotan's voice and adlibs and highnotes was the part that other member cant fill in..

So i just hope shogo can fill in and help bakumatsu team and shoutaro when he finally join in..
