7th Stage Special Interview - Taniyama Kisho (Translation)

"Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!"

What did you think about the shooting for this pamphlet? 

I'm glad we were able to shoot at a good tempo. I don’t usually wear yellow clothes, so the photo shoot made me feel like the “Uta☆Pri” live show is about to start again. But I also think that it’s a surprisingly fitting color. I’ve recently noticed that the colors of the teams I support in the NBA are all yellow. It felt a little bit like it was fate.

How did you feel when you first heard about the 7th STAGE?

I thought that everyone really loves "Uta☆Pri". I tend to be rather cynical, but I understand the fact that everyone is asking us to do so. However, since it will be held after the movie version, there will be more expectations than ever before, so that will be tough (laughs).

Please tell us your impressions of "Uta no☆Prince-sama! Maji LOVE Kingdom" after having watched the completed film.

It was greatly done, it managed to express what everyone wanted to see on screen. As a pioneer in male idol genre, I think “Uta☆Pri” should be the first to produce an animation of a live show of this quality. In terms of direction and camera work, “Egoistic” in which Natsuki participated was so cool that we wanted to try it ourselves if we could. I want to kick the birdcage! As for the song, I was happy that I was able to show my highest key.

How did you feel about the members of this special unit song?

I don’t think there is a member in “Uta☆Pri” who doesn’t have a strong ego, but even among them, I think the three of them are a unique combination. So, at first, no matter how much they sang or talked, it felt like “Yeah, we are really going to clash, aren’t we?”, but then I feel like they gradually started getting accustomed to each other. In reality, I wonder if “Even if we sing in dissonance, it’s precisely in that imbalance that something curious can be found.” In the end, I think we were able to create a charm because the three of us weren’t a natural perfect or the best fit.

Taking into account the drama part, it became a song through which you can feel Natsuki's inner strength.

That’s right. Although Natsuki is usually a natural airhead and a spontaneous person, it was surprisingly him who led the unit in the direction it took. He is thoughtful towards others, and perhaps he realized his own role by watching the two of them closely. I thought that it was interesting that as a result of the chemistry between the three of them, Natsuki was placed in a position he had rarely held in ST☆RISH. The key point is that Natsuki became the person he is today because he became one with Satsuki, not because he was capable of it from the beginning. It’s an important part of his personal “depth”.

Do you think that the release of your solo best album has helped you gain a renewed understanding and appreciation of your idol?

Certainly, it was an opportunity for me to become aware of my own emotional attachment toward Natsuki. I want to become more conscious of singing “as Natsuki” than before, and I think I have put all I can into the new song. The truth is, I even wanted to re-record all the songs.

By the way, what is the “Egoistic” thing that you want to say to “Uta☆Pri” ?

As my works have become more established, I have proven the significance of my existence, so I think my craving for the limelight isn't as strong as it used to be. But it would seem that it is not Na-chan or Sa-chan’s ego, but rather Kī-chan’s that causes me to add improvisation in the live performances (laughs). I light-heartedly think “Oh, Mamo (Miyano Mamoru) did an improv! Next, I’ll be the one to do it too~” The important thing is that we distribute it fairly between us and that everyone has fun. When I look at everyone, I see how much they shine and I think that’s great. I always want to make the live show more exciting by contributing what I can.

How did you feel about the performance of the group songs?

I like all of it so much that I can't point out one specific moment. “ULTRA BLAST” was a performance that showed that ST☆RISH could sing such hard songs while keeping their framework as idols.

The fans’ “fanchants” were also powerful.

I thought it was a good initiative to unite everyone and share the same groove, as one would expect from an idol’s live presentation. As for me, I'm especially happy to hear people shouting the group name “ST☆RISH.'' It makes me feel like, “That's right, we are ST☆RISH!'' (laughs). After all, I don’t want to forget the pride of being the first group in the “Uta☆Pri” series.

What was the most memorable part of the last song and encore?

I like “Maji LOVE Kingdom” because it reminds me of the good old idol songs of the Shōwa era *[1926-1989]. At any rate, the stage performance with all three groups together was a thrilling sight. It's heart-warming to see how the trajectory depicted in the TV series has been integrated into this movie version.

All the costumes were unique, but were there any that caught your attention?

I love the costume for “Egoistic” so much that I want to wear it myself.

Natsuki might originally want to go for something like “Colorfully Spark”, but he's tall and would surprisingly look good in the black robe of “Sōai Träumerei.'”

Please tell us about some of the most memorable moments from past live performances.

With this kind of thing, the bad memories are more vivid than the good ones. Although I only have myself to blame, my form at the 3rd STAGE was the worst. However, I’ve been keeping it bottled up inside me for a long time, but just the other day I had a chance to look at the footage and was relieved to see that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Nevertheless, I would like to perform the duet song “Still Still Still” with Mamo again. That was at the end of 2013, and I quit smoking right after the new year started. It's been six years since I quit smoking and I'm really glad I stopped, not only for my personal music activities, but also for expressing Natsuki's existence and talent through singing.

What do you want to say right now to the idol who will be your partner in the live performance?

To “descend.” Because I believe that if I can have even a little bit of Natsuki's mind inside me on the day of the live concert, everyone will appreciate it.

Finally, a message to "Uta☆Pri" fans who purchased this pamphlet!

Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!

[otosugar]

Perhaps I should post this because it took me some time to do it

[fudan-no-nijiiro]

Popped Maji Love Kingdom in to rewatch this evening, and yep. Every time I watch the Quartet Night talk time bit I think about its obscure near-references to Fiction and Non-Fiction (references which, to be clear, I may or may not have wholly imagined) and go red-string-corkboard all over again

[not-cute-acid-chaan]

My brother in christ @topstarodeo I hope you understand what you did

[slayer537]

Happy 4th anniversary to Utapri Maji Love Kingdom!! 🏰🎉✨️

[mas-ai]

Hyperfixating on this gif-

me rambling about this gif because i found it on discord and i kept taking screenshots and i noticed some things and headcanons came out of it and character enjoyment so here we go-- under a readmore bc its long. GIF (this came from discord gif search, i have no way of knowing if this is the actual person who did the gif and if this is accurate credit or not but this is where i found it)

Natsuki and Masato are always parallel to one another. This is one of the things I really noticed when I first got into UtaPri and I just love it sm because they're my two favourites in STARISH.

Cecil is always tucked into Masato's side like a cat.

AiAi lil wavin!!!!

Masato is third in, Ai is also third in. They're the other parallel and I just aaaaaa-

RanAi!!!! otp

ReiRan!!! I admittedly don't OTP this anymore, sorry Ranmaru but I'm dating Reiji but it's still good!

Nagi doing his little flounce and jump and then this adorable bow to the crowd!!!

I MISSED THE FRAME but Reiji does a little wink here and brings his hand to his chest to bow but YOU KNOW someone was in the crowd with a really cute sign that made him flustered and he's screaming inside rn. Ranmaru's hand is actually behind Reiji but the frame makes it look like he's patting Reiji and y'know what we're going with that instead.

AI DOES A LITTLE WOBBLE IN THE LAST FRAME OF QN. He's a bit of low energy after the live and Ranmaru is walking right beside him in case he falls. Ai really gave his all in his performances and it drained more battery than it ever has in the past, way more than he thought it would. He normally gets pretty low but he's basically in critical state and Ranmaru is right there looking after him.

Eiichi's just a big fking liar. He's out here pretending he's an extremely coordinated man but you KNOW FOR A FACT he didn't mean to wave with the microphone in his hand - and he accidentally smacks himself in the face with it.

Shion's not waving too much and is just kind of striding along, basking in the afterglow and amazed by the energy and to see so many people out to support them.

ok that's all for now ty for listening to me ramble. i love these men and i'm gonna miss shining live so much.

[wildinjaelyn]

Yo, where did you watch The Uta No Prince Sama Kingdom movie

Update:sorry I've been gone! But I've decided I'm now gonna do canon ships!!

[amisbro]

Here is a question I was wondering about

In 2019 after "Maji Love Kingdom had its showing in the states Sentai Filmworks removed the series (along with others that they owned) from the site known as Crunchyroll... The question is this: How many people ,in the almost 4 years since that happened, have moved on from the UtaPri series and on to other series (Idol or otherwise)? I had this question up on my twitter and then took it down for some reason (I'm going to repost it soon) but its something I wondered about here. I'd actually love to hear what you had to say about this and look forward to any answers in the reblogs or replies to it Take care

Also I realized you need to download the fonts for them to look correct so I'm including the fonts I downloaded. Check the read more for what each songs fonts should look like and thank you for your continued support!

Also if the torrent ever stops working, let me know and I'll provide the ddl but do please know it's a HUGE file. Maybe I can find a smaller mkv instead of bdmv if need be.

I've been wondering everyone's ages in Live Emo so I've compiled these based on Senpai and Heavens appearance on Debut/2000%:

13: Nagi

15: Ai

17: Otoya, Syo, Haruka, Tomochika

18: Masato, Tokiya

19: Natsuki, Ren, Kira

20: Camus

22: Ranmaru

23: Eiichi

25: Reiji, Ringo

28: Ryuuya

Although Cecil's is written unknown on his profile, according to spoilers of his situation and Otoya, we could gather that he's at least younger than him.

Shining's is also written unknown on his profile, but welp we know that he's already an old man www

I don't know any info about Raging…though maybe he was also treated the same as Shining, which is unknown age.

For the other 4 members of Heaven:

Eiji: Funny enough Haruka called him using "-kun" while she called Eiichi with "-san" in Live Emo. And Haruka tends to use "-kun" to a guy who's the same age or younger than her. (Example: Ittoki-kun, Syo-kun and Nagi-kun. Ai got the senpai privilege hence the "Mikaze-senpai" and he's the only one she never once called by his first name even after they're dating in ASAS like why only him broc--) So maybe Eiji is the same age or maybe even younger than Haruka…?

Van: It was mentioned that he was the oldest one in Heavens, but we don't know the exact number yet, but at least we know that he's older than Eiichi...?

Yamato: I forgot from which one it was, but I remember it was mentioned that he was supposed to be 5 years younger than Ryuuya, which made him 23 y/o like Eiichi…?

Shion: In Live Emo Main Story Van mentioned to Eiichi that they shouldn't bring both Nagi and Shion to go on a late night work. Nagi obviously because he's a minor but is Shion also a minor too…? Or maybe it's because of his sleepy nature? Though the latter is much more believable I guess. Only Broccoli knows www

The latest update they gave regarding everyone's age is on ASAS (the latest utapri otoge) in which Haruka finally turned 18 y/o. (she started from the first series as 15, AA/SS she's 16, Debut and AS she's 17). Also although we already know Ai is a robo based on two series he appeared (Debut and AS), they still changed his age to 16 too in his profile on ASAS which is quite nice that they also aged him up www

For now we still don't know just how old the members are in Live Emo since they never gave out any numbers www. Their settings is quite a mix of anime and game info too. But I guess we can conclude that it was after Maji Love Kingdom...? Maybe once they finally decided to release Dolce Vita is when they're going to properly give out everyone's age number again, but who knows when… :")))
