End of Year Zuka Tag 2023 Part 1
After two years in this fandom I'm finally doing this! Massive thanks and kisses to @beccalendsahand for all the questions ❤️
It's been a tough year, to say the least. It's gonna take me some time to fully cope with all that happened and decide how I want to see zuka in the future. Regardless, I love this community and the people in it to death, I love the siennes and all the heart they put in what they do, I want to stay for both these groups of people.
Unto the more fun part now ~
1. Sumire no Hana: Did you find a new favourite this year? (Either someone who has entered the company this year or someone who has been in the company a while but you have only just become a fan, or both!)
I have discovered a grand number of three new favourites this year! The first one was Ruri Hanaka who completely blew me away like a tornado with her portrayal of Elisa in The Red and The Black. The emotions and youthful intensity she put in her voice and acting touched me so deeply. That and her shared duet with Arisa Hitomi was so good, their voices fit and harmonised so well and that's really impressive when you're next to a singing powerhouse like Kuracchi.
Another favourite this year was Asanoha Kotono, yet another hana musume for me to stan. I had noticed her before in Paris in the Winter Fog but it was her role as the cool and classy Countess Larisch in Mayerling's shinko, as well as her lead in Singing Lovebirds's shinko, that made me go "oh. oh she's really good". There's a maturity in her performances that I find really interesting, on top of a singing voice that I adore. Funnily enough she was the highlight of a Battlefield for Two for me, in terms of powerful singing and acting, Elsa being one of the only characters that I enjoyed in a show I found pretty meh overall.
And finally, I got a hoshi son this year! Taiki Hayate, whose upcoming shinko lead for RRR I'm extremely excited about. I think I made a mental note to keep tabs on her when she played Jalal al-Din in Dimitri's shinko, and then Stella Voice happened and my god her voice, it's so powerful already. As Tournemain in 1789, she formed an extremely funny combo with Kishou Kazuto and then she went on to destroy us by playing Peyrol in 1789's shinko and it was over for me. I'll just say the whip suits her.
2. Ai sore wa...: Tell us about your number one! What's been your favorite role of theirs this year?
One day I will be normal about Seino Asuka but that day sure hasn't come lol. As they say, "it takes 10 years to make an otokoyaku" and 2023 was Asuka's 10th year in the company. And if 2022 was, as she says herself, the year a switch happened in her mind about what kind of performer she wants to be and how she can get there, 2023 truly felt like the year she showed all the fruits of her years of learning. The energy, the intensity, and especially the fun she puts in her roles and her appearances were so fulfilling, starting with her lead role in Maihime.
Having read the book to prepare for the show, I expected a rather "unheroic" type of protagonist, who ultimately fails to follow the values he first had and abandons his pregnant lover. And yeah, that's what we got. But the way she portrayed him brought him a lot of nuances, an explanation of why he does what he does that doesn't try to absolve him. She's at her best when she delves into the character's psychology and that's what she did here, and I'm so so proud of her.

Everyone, in the group, I had the impression that they were mature and sexy but,
This time, I felt like they were also cute ☺️🎉
All of Da-iCE-san's fans,
Did you know of this~
I hope you enjoyed it!
For Love is inflation Kudo Taiki-san! We explained the movements and the 16-beat, and practiced it the whole time during the rehearsals, its selfish but, I was happy to the love in the good Uo Uo's in LoveRevo......!
Iwaoka Toru-san, who I think is the coolest in the group, I got the impression they also really enjoyed the songs, they were too funny in the talk with their "four four", I'll look forward to 2044! lol
Ono Yudai-san was funny and made things exciting since the rehearsal, I ended up really laughing at their tension with Ikuta-san! I'm thankful for such a warm space!
Hanamura Souta-san showed interest in the finer details in the singing and movements! They posted them singing I WISH on Instagram today! Thats also really wonderful, by all means, everyone check it out--!
In the song, Wada Hayate-san's idol power was really strong in particular, there were many moments where we got impatient thinking, how cute! Also, the speed at which they learned the dance was ridiculous......!
Since I like writing my impressions of things,
Please excuse me 😕
Our image of when the 15th generation had just joined,
