Togainu no Chi stageplay announced!

During today's 20th anniversary livestream it was announced that NITRO CHiRAL's first game, Togainu no Chi (originally released in 2005), is getting a stageplay adaptation! Live performances are scheduled to start in August 2025 and it will have five different routes/endings, featuring all of the main characters from the original game.

In the article published by eplus, director Norihito Nakayashiki comments that Togainu no Chi's stageplay adaptation is like a dream come true, and he's really excited to experience the story once again through the performances of the actors. Screenwriter Hiroki Uchida also mentions that he's pouring his heart and soul into writing the script of this stageplay, to breathe new life into the beloved visual novel Togainu no Chi. Takahashi Yuri, who will play the role of protagonist Akira in the stageplay, expresses his gratitude to be part of a production that is loved by so many people.

Cast list: Akira: Takahashi Yuri Keisuke: Tanaka Asahi Rin: Izaki Ryujiro Motomi: Hayashida Kohei Shiki: Nakamoto Taiga Emma: Harada Rio Kiriwar: Takigawa Kodai Gunji: Sakata Hiromu Arbitro: Fujiwara Yuki Nano: Takeshi Naoki

I was wondering which stageplay they would announce next, but since it's also Togainu no Chi's 20th anniversary today, it makes sense that this is the next project they're working on! Next year is Slow Damage's 5th anniversary, so I'm curious if a Slow Damage stageplay will also be announced then. I really enjoyed all of the previous stageplay adaptations and appreciated how they managed to keep the BL elements, despite of course not being able to show full 18+ scenes. I hope they will livestream this one too! Also no Kau in the cast list, but I don't know if I should be surprised.

CLEARAO RAMBLE TIME!

Basically my interpretation of the choreography in the stageplay

I love the choreography in Clearao’s intimate scene

Its so beautiful, the sheer emotion has such a deep meaning like actually,

The two of them constantly take turns wandering aimlessly around in search of something or more importantly, someone.

They search with a hand out, reaching and seeking for the other, wanting to feel them, wanting them so badly it almost hurts

When all seems lost the other guides them into their touch, holding them, reassuring them that they are there, they will always be there

Clear and Aoba both highlight especially later on in reconnect that they both have a constant fear of losing one another, whether its Aoba being seperated from Clear for an entire year, on the verge of losing himself mentally, forced to live with the thought that Clear will never return

Or Clear watching Aoba sleep each night, restless that, one day, he might not ever wake up, just like his grandfather

And im sure thats why the two of them take turns in this, searching longly for the other, worried that itll all crumble before them

then to be held by the other, to be touched and felt, to give them a physical reassurance that the other is there

Then later on they both fall together into eachothers grasp, clinging to one another as they become one, because, despite being human and robot, together they are one, built from love and dedication

(might be wordy since i mainly wrote this for a moot with no actual intent of grammar checking HELP)

GAAAAH they make me ill

Dancing Star precure x Yu Gi Oh AU

Decided to try and fuse bokupre with another series that made my childhood. I feel pretty confident about these designs, but you tell me what you think about them.

I'll post Kouga and Sasana's once I finish them.

Here's the designs on their own.

Since it's my personal mission to make everybody watch the Digimon Adventure Tri Stage Play, I dug up one of my favourite interviews again. I owe the producer my life, because he simply managed to create the best piece of Digimon Adventure media since Adventure itself (in my opinion almost as amazing as Our War Game and that MEANS something). However, I saw a few people being confused about a few things, so I wanted to clarify:

"Wait, is the Stage Play just Tri's story but done on stage?"

Nope, it does take place during the Tri era (between the third and fourth movie to be exact), but it is an original (side) story that can be watched without having any knowledge of Tri or Tri's plot.

"Does the story take place in the real or in the Digital World?"

That would actually be a spoiler and since there is no easy answer to this, I'm gonna say you have to watch it for yourself.

"Are the characters like in the original or like in Tri?"

That's the fun part - of course there are glimpses and pieces of the Tri characterizations, but the producer really did his very best to adapt the characters faithfully and as respectfully from the original source material as much as he could and I think you can feel that:

"To be honest, the generational timing was a little off for me, so I had never seen Digimon before. After I received the request for the stage play, I watched all of it, including the original TV series and the movie series, but I didn’t expect that I’d be crying so many times. It was a story of human growth and Digimon evolution being deeply intertwined, and I watched as that growth and evolution was overlaid with so many other things. Maybe it was because I watched it as an adult, but I was able to see it from all sorts of perspectives in regards to “people growing”. (...) While I’ve worked with other people’s stories and made plays out of them several times, it was usually in the sense of taking the original work’s story and repurposing it for the stage format. But for this one, even though I’m borrowing the original series’s characters, the story is being written from scratch, and it’s my first time writing words for characters that were created by other people. It was a high level of difficulty, and I still feel it even now. Also, it made me wonder how the scriptwriters for the anime must have done this. They were also writing the same characters in the same world, while sharing that job with tons of other people. It’s amazing that they were able to do that. But, naturally, it wasn’t just full of difficult and painful things, but once the story properly got going, I got to hear the lines I was writing in the voices of the characters from the original series, and getting to savor those kinds of moments was very fun. Someone like me, who works in the theatre field, gets to take over the job of writing the lines of characters made by others. And then I have Toei check over it, and we get even closer to the mark. So in other words, we bring these characters to life by sharing them between everyone. And especially in the case of Digimon, it was an interesting experience in that there wasn’t just one writer or director, but rather that everyone had their own version of Taichi and Yamato, and the dialogue was born from between all of that.

"Anything else I need to know?"

If you are able to see past some cringe, don't mind nostalgia baiting and are okay with a few... Questionable scenes in regards to the main antagonist (which you will definitely know if you've watched the original Adventure series), you will enjoy this.

Also, personally, I'd say this is the order of plot relevance of each human character, so if your favourite characters are in the top half of the list (and even if they're not), you are likely to have fun:

Taichi

Jyou

Koushirou

Yamato

Mimi

Hikari

Sora

Takeru
