My scan of my Hakumyu Shinkai Souma-hen clear file folder, which I’m only deciding to upload now... just cuz?

still have at least 3 other things i want to procrastinate re-scanning since the files were lost when my passport stopped working...

anyway, feel free to use as always :)

also this is cut off by about 1cm from the bottom since the folder is bigger than my flatbed scanner

I am watching Sannan-hen (not the blu-ray/dvd one of course) and oh dear...there is so much to say about the scenography and all the symbolism around the lights. It's incredible how they improve the songs and their performance.

Trust me, soon I will blabbing through analysis about the Shinkai scenography because there is SO MUCH to say. Like Sannan-hen is up on my list concerning scenography but Saito-hen 2 and Souma-hen have good ideas too.

It’s been months and I’m still obsessed with this specific shot from souma hen

About the future of Hakumyu (updated version 20th of July 2023)

We followed Hakumyu for several years, and are still excited about the same story, even we watched uncountable times.

So what future does Hakumyu have? Which productions are awaiting us in the next years?

First if all we have a new writer and director, named Nishida Daisuke. He "created" two new series, the Shitan (Kazama & Hijikata) and Shinkai (Souma, Saito & Sannan) as well as LIVE3.

As of the 20th June of 2023 Shinkai Hijikata Toshizō Hen was announced. This date is also the historical Hijikata's death date. But it isn't Nishida, who is in charge.

We have already "explored" routes and "new" routes. (New routes with year are been already aired or scheduled)

Which are:

Explored:

Saitou Hajime (twice)

Okita Souji

Hijikata Toshizou (thrice) (+2024)

Kazama Chikage (twice)

Toudou Heisuke

Harada Sanosuke

Other:

Shinsengumi Kitan

Reimeiroku

And new:

Souma Kazue (2020→2021)

Sannan Keisuke (2023)

Sakamoto Ryoma

Nagakura Shinpachi

Yamazaki Susumu

Iba Hachirou

Shitan

is a series, which follows the screenwriting of Mōri Nobuhiro, but is directed by Mr. Nishida.

So the stories and routes in included are, what we all already know, which makes it 10 possible productions (of which we already have 2, so 8 future productions). But...

Shinkai

is a series written and directed by Nishida. I think, I wasn't the only one expecting there to be only new routes. But after the announcement of Shinkai Saito it made it much more. So we have the new routes and old ones, which make it 16 possiblities (14, if we count Souma Kazue Hen and the new one out)

And with Hijikata's third Hen (or rather fourth time, the left options are back to 15 options)

But...

Now someone could think: "Great, there will be 22 new productions." There won't be, because it is highly unlikely that one route gets a Shinkai and a Shitan production. So with what I calculated, we have 5 new Shinkai routes and 7 either Shinkai or Shitan old routes. Which make it a good chance that Hakumyu will be there even after another ten years. There are of course also other possibilities: for example: we finally get the Yukimura Kodo Hen 😜 or there will be a Hakumyu Uragata, or other stories based on Drama CDs and other game series related to Hakuouki. Also there is the chance we have more LIVEs.

Forget what I said as Hijikata Toshizō got a OG, a Shitan AND a Shinkai, we have the possibility of 21 possibilities.😅

Cast Stay, Comeback, Guests, Retire, Changes

We always wonder, who will be part of the cast, when a new musical is announced. (Everything is based on speculations or statements of actors)

Who will stay?

The cast that started the Shinkai series should stay for a while I think, but from what I observed single roles may change, but I think the majority will stay, only of course Chizuru will change everytime.

Comeback

We've seen several comebacks by now, like Sazaki Hideyoshi after three musicals and even in a different role. Than of course Suzuki Shogo, who played the first and forth generation Kazama Chikage, has returned. For Shinkai Saito Hen second generation Saitou, Hashimoto Shohei has returned. I personally think, we can expect more old cast to return. At least to Hakumyu LIVE 3 as guests. If you're are following the official Twitter account of Hakumyu, you may have noticed, that many of the old cast expressed their feelings about Hakuouki. So it is easy to believe, that we see a few of them again.

Guests

For the 10th anniversary of Hakumyu in general and Saitou Hajime in particular, the first Hakumyu-pair Matsuda Ryo (first generation Saito Hajime) and Yoshida Hitomi (first generation Yukimura Chizuru) made a guest appearance.

As well as in LIVE3 Takasaki Shota (third generation Yamazaki Susumu), Yazaki Hiroshi (first generation Hijikata Toshizou), Kashiwagi Yuusuke (first generation Shiranui Kyo), Naya Takeru (third generation Saitou Hajime) and Matsuda Gaku (fourth generation Hijikata Toshizou) made their appearance.

Even if they don't reprise their role many of the former cast is still attached to Hakumyu and I don't think that will change so fast.

Retire

According to interviews with Taira, we don't have to fear, we even might see him till the 'end of this dream'. I believe it was the special interview between Nishida, Suzuki and Imata, where it was stated that Imata had become the soul or backbone of Hakumyu. Even though some actors might retire from Hakumyu, it creates the chance to see new actors and their interpretation of our beloved characters.

Change

Since we had a Shinkai Routes, where extra characters appeared, we likely have a changeable part of the cast. That was confirmed by an interview about the new Shinkai Souma Hen. Which means, we had Souma, Nomura and Miki. And will probably have Sakamoto, Nakaoka, Motoyama and Iba be included. Also charakters that only occur in a specific route to be important (which were already part of the show) for example: Nagumo Kaoru or Sen-Hime, other like Kimigiku and Shimada or again Inoue. Or if there will be an Uragata Play, a whole cast change??

Also there could be a writer or director or composer change, but I seriously don't know and I have nothing, which indicates that.

So about that it is confirmed that Hakumyu goes back to Mouri's hands for a while. As he said in this interview, 'there's no case like Hakumyu'.

Conclusion

For the Future of Hakumyu is many hope, I think, although there are many uncertain things, so maybe it's impossible to wether it will be 10 years or only 5 years lying ahead. But there is a tomorrow, and that is important. As long Hakumyu will stay in our hearts, it will be fine, whatever happens.

If you have any other ideas, feel free to write them in the comments. (Also thank you for reaching the bottom)

And Souma's route despite me being a bit put-off at first by his attitude towards Shinsengumi, it somehow convinced me when he was so sweet? And of course, I liked it for Miki, the more Miki the better :^) I also liked Iba's route bc the side of the plot that was so dangerous, risky, adventurous and sudden was amazing. But tbh, I don't like Iba's personality so much, his normal scenes were so off-putting. I felt like I had a worse version of Toma from Amnesia, I felt so pressured X'D

Yeah Iba really isn’t doing it for me. I keep rage quitting after I play a single scene with him. It’s annoying because I think he’s really cute when he’s pathetic and being bullied, but he’s the worse when he’s being really weird and manipulative. And like, I can’t stand Toma, but it seems at least that they meant for him to be like that. Toma is a nightmare and they intended every bit of it. Iba seems like some ignorant straight men writing what they think women like without even realising how toxic it is and that’s why it feels even more awful. Like I finished toma’s route and I was riveted the whole time since it was clearly meant to be a bit of a horror element. But for Iba it’s like “oh look! He’s willing to lie and manipulate you because he loves you so much! And if you try to leave, you’ll hurt his feelings :(“ like that’s a fucking red flag yikes.

Like I know that otome is never perfect and I expect a certain level of gross tropes but the rest of the haku cast have always been fairly decent in that regard. Even harada, I felt more respected by him!!

Anyway I will finish it eventually because Takeda is the funniest character ever written in Hakuouki.

Souma is a perfect Angel. And tbh I like when shinsengumi media show more of the flaws of the system so I wasn’t off-put by him too much at first but, once he showed himself to be so sweet and submissive, that’s when I fell for him since that’s my type. But I was so afraid that the game would fuck up his character so I didn’t actually finish it until after I saw souma-hen in April. And now he’s my perfect Angel and tbh I almost like him more than Okita??? Scandalous!!! Like souma makes it all worth it, he saved Shinkai for me. He’s finally actually my personal type of male character that’s so rare and I couldn’t be happier.
