I don't think they're allowed to cast anyone else as Crow now. This is a list of roles mostly roles he's had more than once see Crow and Date Masamune. The first role is from no touching at all(great movie) he's also an old man in the My Hero stage. YK is for his band/group Yousuke Kousuke. I haven't really looked at his twitter since April but love that he updated his bio

(1) Izawa tweeted this line separately (linked here) so it’s not actually captioning the picture of CB. But from his wording of both tweets, almost all of the replies are fans getting excited for more Slazy! With that said, there is currently no official confirmation so we should probably wait for more news before popping open the champagne!

The November 11th’s performance is available to watch in niconico until January 31st 2018, free for premium members.
There’s two performance available, the afternoon performance (with comment from Camio at the curtain call) and the night one (with Dantalion’s comment).
On the first day of Shima's new job, he meets a man with a hangover in the elevator. That was his first encounter with his new boss, Togawa. Though Togawa seems rude, Shima is drawn to the kindness beneath his rough facade. Both men harbor a painful past but unlike Togawa, who is open about his feelings, Shima seems unable to move on.
Review
I admit, I am probably a bit biased, because I simply love this manga to pieces. However, that may be the reason why I am able to evaluate this adaptation better than someone who doesn't know the original work.
So if you are a fan of the manga, but unsure whether to watch, this review is mainly for you. (And even if you're just looking for a good BL movie to pass the time, I hope I can write a worthy review as well)
-------
The plot isn't exactly anything new, especially for such a short movie. It's about two people meeting, hooking up, falling in love, and the hardships they must overcome.
What makes this movie stand out from others is the rawness of the emotions, the harsh yet beautiful reality. There is nothing romanticized about their meeting or their relationship. It could be me or you, falling in and out of love.
Shima and Togawa in the manga have prickly personalities. They are very different, yet there is an attraction and spark that even transcends their sexualities. I was worried whether there could be actors who would portray their characters well. Thankfully, Yonehara Kousuke and Taniguchi Kenji both did a great job. Shima lost a bit of his cheekiness and seems more timid, but it has to do with the generally darker tone of the movie, right from the beginning, due to time-constraints.
The music was matching but not really memorable. I was surprised at how sensual they even portrayed the erotic scenes. They could have granted a closer view on the kissing scenes, but in BL it's probably something we can only wish for.
What really drives this film is the atmosphere, that is very similar to the manga Doushitemo Furetakunai. This simplicity and 'realness' is visible in every part of the movie. Some people find the long still shots and the calmness boring. I find it beautiful. Not everything in life is restless and fast-paced. Some moments are agonizingly slow. The cinematography, while somewhat simple, plays a big role in this, and it does a superb job. The writing and directing are both also spot-on.
After finishing the movie, I went and re-read the manga, and I was surprised to see how much of the original dialogue was kept. While I was reading, the scenes from the movie kept appearing in my mind, and I found myself unable to separate the two. Usually when it comes to book or manga adaptations, once I return to the original, I cannot help but think: "Oh, but this is so much better after all. They should have done this differently"; However, I didn't have that feeling with Doushitemo Furetakunai. While there were parts that were left out or could have been fleshed out more, there were even moments where I thought the dialogue in the movie was more natural and poignant than in the manga.
I dislike dramas that take the easy way out by having too much narration or monologues to make sure the viewer gets exactly what the characters are feeling at that moment. There is no room for speculation, no room for the viewer to get a grasp on the emotion, just by observing. Eventually, this trait of the movie, the actors' ability to convey their pain and longing without using too many words, is what made me applaud to this successful adaption of Yoneda Kou's manga.
In summary: It's a bit slow-paced, but if you learn to appreciate the beauty within this calm atmosphere, you will be presented with a fairly satisfying movie that you won't easily forget. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
holy fuck. my love for Norizuki Kouhei was only dormant when I took a break from butai fandom. it's now back with a vengeance. I've already ordered the 5 Guys Shakespeare DVD and planning on ordering Saiyuki Darkness, Oasis, and Sunrise early next year. and Sekai Kara Neko ga Kieta Nara (which looks particularly deadly for me after seeing the premise and photos bc I am a cat mom) and Ouran HS Host Club (also deadly bc I used to be obsessed with the manga and he's casted as Haruhi's dad I--) when they release. and maybe also Sekai no Owari ni Kimi wo Kou (Emukichi Beat prod hhh also Yonehara Kousuke is in the cast too). I'm still debating over the FF butai he was in. ugh. my bank account is already crying. my money, my money~ 💸💸💸
I wish I could figure out how to get Pococha so I can join his livestreams but hhhhh
I really love him ok. I aspire to be like him as a performer too. his singing and versatility in acting?? I am in awe. pls teach me your ways.
I saw the stream for Saiyuki Darkness and........holy fuck I am so amazed at how much he's improved even more since I last watched him in Altar Boyz. I am so proud. also?? his smiling and laughing as Hazel?? is just??? adorable??? I couldn't handle it. there were parts where he looked like he was just genuinely enjoying himself with Hazel's ridiculous antics and it made me really happy. I really loved Hazel's characterization in the musical, but maybe that's just my bias speaking since I barely remember the manga. I would like to thank Miura-sensei once again for blessing us with amazing direction and script. and really showcasing Nori's range. it felt like they highlighted his skills and really maximized his singing. and they made him do some fighting scenes. that's rare for him. I am so proud.
my greatest pre-pandemic regret is not pushing through flying over to Japan to see Darkness in person. I probably would have for Oasis or Sunrise, but then pandemic...I will just have to live with DVDs 😭
I am also very happy with the variety of butai Nori has been in. my ADHD brain is so glad for it since it means I'm never bored of watching him in them. the staging of 5 Guys Shakespeare looks so interesting! and I'm drawn to Shakespeare adaptations in general. and he was in Jersey Boys last year!! he's been more active in 2.5D again too, which is more accessible for me 😭
I'm just?? really proud and happy for him??? it's been 5 years since I first watched him in Dances With Devils and he became the main reason I watched Club Slazy. I'm so glad I found out about him. I'll keep supporting him from afar and hope that I can fly back to Japan to watch him in person again eventually 😭💖

Hey! SLAZY~😁
(1) He’s quoting Act/Deep’s lines before Garnet Star
(2) “Lovely nyan-nyans” is what Cool Beans calls his fans
(3) This is probably just teasing… As of this date, no new live or movie has been confirmed by CLIE.
(4) A game where the cast has to guess which Slazy songs are mixed together
