Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura in I Live in Fear (Akira Kurosawa, 1955) Cast: Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki, Eiko Miyoshi, Kyoko Aoyama, Haruko Togo, Noriko Sengoku, Akemi Negishi, Hiroshi Tachikawa, Eijiro Tono. Screenplay: Shinobu Hashimoto, Fumio Hayasaka, Akira Kurosawa, Hideo Oguni. Cinematography: Asakazu Nakai. Production design: Yoshiro Muraki. Music: Masaru Sato, Fumio Hayasaka. In some ways, I wish Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura had swapped roles in Akira Kurosawa's I Live in Fear. It would have been an easy exchange: Mifune, at 35, would have fit into the role of the dentist trying to mediate between a cranky patriarch and his family, and the 50-year-old Shimura could well have played the patriarch, a man a couple of decades his senior. Instead, we get distracted away from the story -- and the message it is somewhat heavy-handedly trying to convey -- by the fact that Mifune, the vital young actor from Rashomon (1950) and Seven Samurai (1954), films that made him an international star, is playing a man twice his age -- a tour de force not only of acting but also of costuming and makeup. This is not to say that Mifune doesn't do a fine job of it, slumping his body into an elderly arthritic crouch, peering through thick glasses with his face set in a perpetual scowl. It's true that Mifune brings a necessary virility to the role of Kiichi Nakajima, who has produced a large and recalcitrant group of offspring, including not only his legal family but also children from at least three mistresses. They come together to protest Nakajima's decision to sell everything and move to Brazil, where he thinks they will be safest from the nuclear holocaust that he believes to be imminent. Shimura's Dr. Harada, who has volunteered to serve on an arbitration panel for family court, is tasked with deciding on the family's claim that Nakajima is mentally incompetent. The problem with the film is not only that Mifune's performance seems like a misstep in casting, but also that the theme of the film is too large for the domestic melodrama of the story to carry. It asks whether Nakajima is insane for being so obsessed with the Bomb, or are we insane for not being more obsessed with it? During the postwar occupation Japanese filmmakers had been prohibited from even mentioning the atomic bomb, but when they were finally freed to deal with what had happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki they found, as filmmakers from other countries have also done, that the topic tends to overwhelm attempts to put it in dramatic form. I Live in Fear is an honorable attempt, and the scenes in which Nakajima fights with his family are well-written and -acted. But the dramatic resolution feels freighted with too much striving for symbolic resonance: Harada visits Nakajima at the rather grim mental institution to which he has been committed and which Nakajima thinks is another planet, and when the sun shines through his barred window, he takes it to be the Earth on fire. To date, only the satirists have been able to give a dramatic shape to our nuclear madness.

UTDP Season 2 Begins!

I’ve finally done it. All the sprites I need are at the ready to be used for some weird, funky interactions. Season 2 of UTDP is underway!

Now, I hope with this you’ll all be submitting your own requests, but since we’re about to enter the new series, it’s probably best if we go over the rules. Under the cut will be a list of rules that will apply when it comes to requesting certain interactions, and I’ve already got a list of requests at the ready, but I welcome more. If you want to request an interaction, then I recommend you go over these rules once more just to be sure.

I see you’re interested...? Well, just so you know, this will be a bit long on one part specifically.

Rule 1: Only the characters listed below will be allowed to be requested.

Not every Danganronpa character will allowed to be requested, particularly obscure one’s who don’t have a whole lot of character to them. However, my goal for this series is to include as many characters as possible. This is a long list too, so if there’s a certain character that you’re looking for, the list below is in Alphabetical Order by first name, so you can search for it that way. Not only that, but after each name will be the game/source material where that character is from, in case you don’t recognize some of them.

Also, in case it isn’t clear: Trigger Happy Havoc is Danganronpa 1 Goodbye Despair is Danganronpa 2 Killing Harmony is V3 Ultra Despair Girls is...Ultra Despair Girls The End of Hope’s Peak Academy is The Danganronpa 3 anime Novel means they’re from Zero, or at least one of the light novels and the rest are all fangames

Akane Owari (Goodbye Despair) Akane Taira (Another Despair Academy) Akeru Yozora (Blowback) Angie Yonaga (Killing Harmony) Aoi Asahina (Trigger Happy Havoc) Ayame Hatano (Another Despair Academy) Byakuya Togami (Trigger Happy Havoc) Celestia Ludenburg (Trigger Happy Havoc) Chiaki Nanami (Goodbye Despair) Chihiro Fujisaki (Trigger Happy Havoc) Chinami Hasami (Blowback) Chisa Yukizome (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Daisaku Bandai (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Emma Magarobi (Another 2) Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu (Goodbye Despair) Gonta Gokuhara (Killing Harmony) The Great Gozu (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Gundham Tanaka (Goodbye Despair) Hajime Hinata/Izuru Kamukura (Goodbye Despair) Hajime Makunouchi (Another 2) Haruhiko Kobashikawa (Another Despair Academy) Hibiki Otonokoji (Another 2) Hifumi Yamada (Trigger Happy Havoc) Himiko Yumeno (Killing Harmony) Hiyoko Saionji (Goodbye Despair) Ibuki Mioda (Goodbye Despair) Imposter Byakuya Togami (Goodbye Despair) Iroha Nijue (Another 2) Jataro Kemuri (Ultra Despair Girls) Junko Enoshima (Trigger Happy Havoc) Juzo Sakakura (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Kaede Akamatsu (Killing Harmony) Kaito Momota (Killing Harmony) Kakeru Yamaguchi (Another Despair Academy) Kana Ise (Blowback) Kanade Otonokoji (Another 2) Kanata Inori (Another Despair Academy) Kanjiro Hayamoto (Blowback) Kanon Nakajima (Novel) Kazuichi Soda (Goodbye Despair) Kazuo Tengan (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) K1-B0 (Killing Harmony) Kinji Uehara (Another Despair Academy) Kirumi Tojo (Killing Harmony) Kiyoka Maki (Another Despair Academy) Kiyotaka Ishimaru (Trigger Happy Havoc) Kizuna Tomori (Another Despair Academy) Koichi Kizakura (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Kokichi Ouma (Killing Harmony) Kokoro Mitsume (Another 2) Komaru Naegi (Ultra Despair Girls) Korekiyo Shinguji (Killing Harmony) Kotoko Utsugi (Ultra Despair Girls) Kyoko Kirigiri (Trigger Happy Havoc) Kyosuke Munakata (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Leon Kuwata (Trigger Happy Havoc) Mahiru Koizumi (Goodbye Despair) Mai Yurino (Blowback) Maki Harukawa (Killing Harmony) Makoto Naegi (Trigger Happy Havoc) Masaru Daimon (Ultra Despair Girls) Mikado Sannoji (Another 2) Mikako Kurokawa (Another Despair Academy) Mikan Tsumiki (Goodbye Despair) Mikihiko Koyasunaga (Blowback) Misako Rokuhana (Blowback) Mitsuhiro Higa (Another Despair Academy) Miu Iruma (Killing Harmony) Monaca Towa (Ultra Despair Girls) Mondo Owada (Trigger Happy Havoc) Monokuma (Trigger Happy Havoc) Monocrow (Another 2) Monodam (Killing Harmony) Monokid (Killing Harmony) Monophanie (Killing Harmony) Monosuke (Killing Harmony) Monotaro (Killing Harmony) Monomi/Usami (Goodbye Despair) Mukuro Ikusaba (Trigger Happy Havoc) Nagisa Shingetsu (Ultra Despair Girls) Nagito Komaeda (Goodbye Despair) Natsumi Kuzuryu (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Nekomaru Nidai (Goodbye Despair) Nikei Yomiuri (Another 2) Peko Pekoyama (Goodbye Despair) Rantaro Amami (Killing Harmony) Rei Mekaru (Another Despair Academy) Ruruka Ando (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Ryo Koumori (Blowback) Ryoma Hoshi (Killing Harmony) Ryota Mitarai (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Ryouko Otanashi (Novel) Sakura Ogami (Trigger Happy Havoc) Sato/Sato Hiyori (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Satsuki Iranami (Another Despair Academy) Sayaka Maizono (Trigger Happy Havoc) Seiko Kimura (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Seina Datenashi (Blowback) Setsuka Chiebukuro (Another 2) Shinji Kasai (Another 2) Shobai Hashimoto (Another 2) Shozo Asayoru (Blowback) Shuichi Saihara (Killing Harmony) Sonia Nevermind (Goodbye Despair) Sonosuke Izayoi (The End of Hope’s Peak Academy) Sora (Another 2) Tato Shimagami (Blowback) Tenko Chabashira (Killing Harmony) Teruteru Hanamura (Goodbye Despair) Teruya Otori (Another Despair Academy) Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack (Trigger Happy Havoc) Torae Akatsubaki (Blowback) Toshiro Takahara (Blowback) Tsumugi Shirogane (Killing Harmony) Tsurugi Kinjo (Another Despair Academy) Yamato Kisaragi (Another Despair Academy) Yasuhiro Hagakure (Trigger Happy Havoc) Yasuke Matsuda (Novel) Yoruko Kabuya (Another 2) Yosaku Fujita (Blowback) Yukari Koime (Blowback) Yuki Maeda/Utsuro (Another Despair Academy) Yuri Kagarin (Another 2)

Rule 2: Only 3 characters are allowed per interaction.

In order to replicate the game to the best of it’s ability, each interaction may only allow 2 or 3 characters and no more. As of such, I hope the requests will abide by this rule, since I’ve gotten requests before involving way more than three.

Rule 3: Credit for all fan-made sprites go to their original owners.

If you want to use the sprites I use for your own projects, then I have no problems with that personally, but just to be clear, most of these sprites aren’t mine. If their not from the original game, then they’re fan-creations and the rights go to their original creators. A new page has opened up on my Tumblr where all the sprites original sources are located, and you can go and check them out there.

Rule 4: The New System.

As I’ve made clear before, not all interactions are requests. I have a long list of interactions that I pre-wrote for this series a while ago, and I intend to get all of those done. As of such I will be going by a new system. I’ll be uploading two interactions per day from now on. One will be a request, and the other will be one of my writes. I’ve delayed people enough, so that is why I am going to be going with this system so I can stay on track.

Rule 5: Reddit Requests will no longer be accepted.

As unfortunate as it may seem to some, I will no longer be accepting requests delivered to me through Reddit. Only asks that are sent directly through Tumblr will be allowed now, but I WILL finish all requests on Reddit before I end it. The ban is in place as of now though, so if you request through the Reddit link, I will not answer your request.

Rule 6: Additional Rules may be added as this series goes on depending on feedback.

This isn’t put in place because I don’t trust people, but say for example there’s a character from the list that isn’t on it that you REALLY think deserves to be on it, then let me know, and I will consider it. Same goes for any other aspect of this rule list.

Well, that’s all for now. Now that you know how things work, let’s get into some Talent Development!

LIVING IN FEAR

On August 6, 1945 World War II entered its final stage as the United States detonated its first of two nuclear weapons over Hiroshima and three days later on Nagasaki. These two bombings would kill somewhere between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians.

Tension had been building between the two countries since the 1930s. While the United States were dealing with their own Great Depression, Japan sought to solve their own economic woes by aggressively expanding their dynasty by invading China. Although condemned by the League of Nations, Japan would eventually capture Nanjing by 1937 and carry out the notorious Nanjing Massacre brutally murdering hundreds of thousands and sexually assaulting between 20,000 and 80,000 women. At that time the United States began passing economic trade embargoes on oil, key goods and gave financial support to Chinese forces. In the fall of 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact alongside Germany and Italy who were already at war with the Allies.

In a turn to defend their status as a major world power, Japan would use the element of surprise to attack Pearl Harbor in order to destroy the base for the United States Pacific Fleet. Although the Japanese would sink four battleships, destroy or damage more than 300 aircrafts and kill over 2,300 sailors, it was the turning point in the war that would “Awaken a sleeping giant”.

Movies help us to cope with the most horrific of tragedies that are set before us. When it comes to the decimation of a country, Japan utilized the destruction and the hardship of war as they moved into their “Golden Age” of Japanese cinema. As Kurosawa entered the international notoriety with 1950’s RASHOMON (above) and 1954’s THE SEVEN SAMURAI, many other filmmakers would critique the great war with films like CHILDREN OF HIROSHIMA (1952), THE BURMESE HARP (1956), and FIRES ON THE PLAIN (1959).

But there were two films that both directly and indirectly dealt with the horrors of nuclear obliteration. In 1954 Ishiro Honda created a new sub-genre of science fiction with his anti-nuclear creature feature, GODZILLA (above). A social-political nightmare dealing with the devastation of the bombs as personified as a building crushing, nuclear breathing behemoth.

A year later, Akira Kurosawa would release a more personal film with 1955’s I LIVE IN FEAR co-written by Shinobu Hashimoto, Fumio Hayasaki, and Hideo Oguni. Where GODZILLA dealt with the horrors of nuclear fallout from a very global and public point of view, I LIVE IN FEAR is dealing with it from a personal, internal and private one.

GODZILLA handles the nightmare as a metaphor. A metaphor that could even be manipulated to the wills of a different filmmaker. Once the monster hit landed on US soil, the film received a co-director and Raymond Burr stepping in as the white savior. The heavily edited “Americanization” removed a large portion of social, political, and anti-nuclear themes and would dull its contribution to healing an international affair.

I LIVE IN FEAR (above) deals with the issue head on. The film follows a 35 year old Toshiro Mifune as Kiichi Nakajima, the elderly matriarch of a small Japanese family. Mifune is the kind of transcendent actor that can effortlessly escape into a role covered in cheap geriatric makeup to nearly double his age. While Nakajima wrestles his inner demons in fear of another oncoming storm of destruction, Godzilla simply portrays the demon personified. Two movies about two entirely different stages of grief but with very similar outcomes.

GODZILLA wrestles with the horrors in an unconventional method of feeling attacked and crushed by a grotesquely misshapen, foreign enemy. The ultimate destroyer lays waste to anything and everything in its path. In time Godzilla’s further entries would quickly forget about its roots and simply become a spectacle of senseless melees of rubber suited men aimlessly slapping each other over tiny cardboard cities. But I LIVE IN FEAR was a different kind of monster. A single film that isolates itself inside the fractured mind of Nakajima in a state of panic as he fears for the worst.

Where GODZILLA turns to a group of scientists to save the day and readies itself for an onslaught of sequels to alter the significance of the giant lizard, Kiichi Nakajima has no one to turn to. The threat is gone but Nakajima still faces a faceless fear. The distant sound of a plane or a brilliant strike of lightning sends Nakajima into a cowering mess. He is determined to leave his country and take his family to safety by any means necessary.

His family deem him insane and sends him to be institutionalized. To a modern audience the movie becomes just as much of a critique on old world mental health and PTSD issues as it deals with the horrors of war. Where the original GODZILLA was an important and vital component to getting past Japan’s darkest hour, I LIVE IN FEAR embodies the trauma behind the mortal mind.

“Whenever I see him I somehow feel oddly anxious even though I’m the one who’s supposed to be sane. Is he crazy? Or are we, who can remain unperturbed in an insane world, the crazy ones?”

2017.02.20 TOEI HERO NEXT さらば俺たち賞金稼ぎ団 [Review]

Monday night I spent my evening watching the hilarious Toei Hero Next. It’s like the third of it’s installment, at least for the gekidan heroes series:

Original Movie here First Stage here

Official Website here Official Twitter here Official FaceBook here Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 DVD PreOrder here

CAST and CHARACTERS

Suzuki Shougo as Suito Saito Shunsuke as Kuroda Ken Baba Ryoma as Mizuno Satoshi Moritaka Ai as  Momose Niina Nakajima Kaito as  Kirijima Reito Kinjyou Yamato as Aoki Junzou Maruyama Atsushi as Kinbara Toshiro Soutarou as Hara Matsumoto Hiroya as Mysterious Guy Kubodera Akira as Kiseki Yuji Hiramaki Jin as Ruri Hayashi Tsuyoshi as Ran Tomita Sho as Sou Miyuki  Fujisawa Reika Iwasaki Nami Hata Mizuho 

AfterTalk Guests: Watanabe Tsurugi and Ise Daiki.

STORY

Kinbara is in a writing slump which means Gekidan Bazooka are without scripts and things to perform until then, so they decide to try out being hosts at Club Jewel, but soon they get caught up in an attempted murder, but with no script to guide them, they have to improv. their way to figure out what really happened.

NON SPOILER

This was so fun. I laughter so hard for 2 hours straight. The scripted comedy, the improvised parts, the accidental mistakes and the aftertalk was ALL hilarious. I very much enjoyed myself and it was very refreshing to watch - I expected to be super tired after doing 3 stages and 2 events the week prior - but this was so easy to watch and so easy to be entertained and is a lot of fun! Baba Ryoma is just the king of being over-energetic and funny in an ugly way, Sho-san definitely controlled the AfterTalk and everyone was definitely onboard with whatever crazy requests and daily challenges (higawari) and improvs that came their way. I really hope they do a next install me. And it’s so freaking cool seeing the entire cast and going ‘holy moly they ALL did sentai!’ it’s badass having that realisation in the middle of the play.

Rating: 8/10

SPOILER

The first few parts won’t be spoilerly, so you can read up to the ‘read more’ line without worrying ^_^

When I first walked in, I realised I had an aisle seat... and THEN I realised it was a host set up on the stage... AND THEN I realised there were stairs leading up to the stage, and I was just like ‘oh shit please do not come my way and approach me’ ... my heart was racing anytime they came down the stairs or towards me o_O

The spoiler part of the story is: So Gekidan Bazooka join the host club, with Niina (Moritaka) as a female guest, but then it turns into an incident when Suito (Suzuki) tries to attack the owner of the club and claims that the owner killed his father and that he’s responsible for his father’s death and responsible for why his father and his family have been labeled as murderers. The plan doesn’t go as he hoped so Suito’s only option is to then go on the run so he isn’t attacked or arrested. Thus, Gekidan Bazooka are left to figure out what really happened. I won’t spoil any more about ^_^

Now some random comments about the stage and some scenes itself before I get into the individual character/cast stuff:

Towards the beginning of the stage when they first join the host club, the main Gekidan Bazooka members joked and commented about it being ‘Watashi no Host-chan’ and in all honestly: it really was a parody of it.

I freaked out in the beginning because it went dark and I noticed someone had come in from the left side door in front of me but couldn’t figure out who it was. Then the lights came up and a spot light was on the person, and BAM Shougo is like RIGHT there and immediately he’s all excited and loud like ‘HEY! WELCOME! LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!’ and I’m like, ‘I cannot handle Shougo being this close to me, being this gorgeous AND being this excited and loud’ my heart was definitely not calming xD

Kuroda Ken (Saito) and Mizuno (Baba) had to play Pocky Chicken which is essentially the game of Chicken but with them putting each end of the Pocky in their mouths and eating it and getting closer until someone freaks out and losses. When Ken first put the Pocky in his mouth he started flicking it up and down, and Baba’s face was gold. Baba (in character) was like ‘stop moving it! stop doing that’ but Kuroda was WAY too excited to get to play Pocky with him. Of course Mizuno losses xD later it almost becomes a Suito vs Mizuno Pocky Chicken but it gets stopped before it even starts because Mizuno is like ‘that’s not a good enough challenge to prove I’m a good host! We must do something that really tests us as Hosts!’ and of course Ken and Niina are totally upset and disappointed by the gaming being stopped - *cough* just like the rest of the audience xD

There was massive shipping all around for Suito x Ken - Shougo and Saito’s character. Everytime Shougo touched Saito there was this pink heart and a ‘kyun’ sound moment from Ken that was hilarious every time xD also Niina was shipping it hard herself xD

To be honest, I do have one little bitty niggle of a negative: I feel it dragged a little towards the end for abou 10-15 minutes but only because we’d been so spoilt with comedy for the first 60-70% or so that for it to suddenly get very realistic and dark, kind of ruined the mood and so that one part drags somewhat before we go back to the comedy again.

There’s two main higawaris and improv parts in this stage that I want to talk about:

First Challenge/Duel: About 20 minutes into the stage, Suito asks his number one guest (played by Miyuki) to decide a challenge for us. 

The theme was: Confess Your Love to the Criminal in the Interrogation Room.

Suito: *pretends to smoke cigarette* BANG on the desk! Have you eaten katsudon?! What? You’re on a diet?! I’ll leave you even if you’re round! Lets eat katsudon together again. That’s ALL!

I don’t remember who he was against -- I think it was Baba -- but Shougo obviously won so ^_^

Second Challenge/Duel: Pretty much the finale scene of the stage when the guest of the day comes out and gives them a challenge. So todays guest was Watanabe from Jyuuohger (HyuuohElephant). The higawari at the end and it was between Gekidan Bazooka’s Kinbara and Jewel’s Sho-san. 

The theme was: Blouson Lion Jyuurou.

I don’ really remember it much but I remember Kinbara pulling up his pants completely so his white hairy legs were showing and he forced Baba and Kinjyou to help him and he ended by using a Jyuuohger line (because Watanabe was there) ‘このちきゅうになめるなよ！/ Don’t underestimate this world!’ he really was hilarious and tried so hard!

Then it was Sho-san’s turn and again his was super fast and crazy and it made it worse by him asking Miyuki to come back on stage and was like ‘start a beat’ and she did this crazy off beat not good song that added to the hilarity of it all and she REALLY got into it half way through that even Sho-san was losing it a little while trying to perform. I don’t really remember what was said, but he was talking about ‘dont be worried about this... don’t be worried about that’ and every time he finished on a ‘don’t be worried’ which translates to ‘shinpai nai’, Shougo would immediately start yelling “Shinpainaisa~!” WHICH is apparently an iconic scene out of the Japanese Lion King Stage (see here and here) but Shougo does it MUCH better xD and much more hilarious! Every time he did it the audience got worse and worse in terms of how hard they were laughing.

Sho-san’s team ultimately won xD

I really do hope they’ve filmed all the higawari’s too! Especially because not many people were posting the daily challenges on twitter every day so if they weren’t filmed then they’re gone for good and I really want people to at least see this one! xD

Now onto the characters!

Suzuki Shougo as Suito: So he is essentially Jewel’s number one host, and as stated he tries to get revenge for his father’s death and for his family being labelled murderer’s BUT turns out that he only wanted to threaten the owner to get the truth rather than actually kill him and he spends his time on the run feeling awful about it and he’s actually a very nice guy who just wants to make other, especially women, smile. His voice when he did his solo song during the singing show down between himself and Baba was SO good!! Seriously, SO GOOD. I could not look away! I was completely absorbed in his singing performance. And a little part of my brain couldn’t not think ‘OMG look at Kazama!’ (he plays Kazama in the HakuMyu series... shh! I’m not using past tense yet okay!). At first I didn’t think I’d like Shougo with short hair but after seeing him in this, I’m okay with it. My comments about his personality are down in the AfterTalk section below. Suito basically matches his name: He’s a sweet and kind guy. And seriously the shipping for him and Ken was GOLD.

Saito Shunsuke as Kuroda Ken: I forgot about Ken’s phobia against women which made it hilarious because he ends up joining the host club BUT then he ends up crossdressing so he could be one of Suito’s guests and not only does he look pretty (Saito always looks freaking pretty!) but he really suits looking like a girl! When Kuroda dresses up as a girl, Suito obviously notices but he doesn’t embarrass Ken by letting him know and allows him to continue being a female guest at their hostclub. The scene between him and Suito where he’s like ‘you realised I was a guy (crossdressing) but you didn’t say anything, you kept treating me like your guest’ and it was such a touching moment <3 There’s a lot of hand and wrist holding moments with them! I don’t know how Saito does it really, he’s always up for pretty much any role and any type of character. He’s never done an uninteresting character I don’t think and he can very easily play both the more feminine role (like in this one) and the more masculine role (for example in BASARA).

Baba Ryoma as Mizuno Satoshi: Baba Ryoma... this man child. Every time he impresses me because he has such energy and he like never runs out of it and everytime I am shocked and astounded by just how... what the right word to describe him... disgusting in a good way! He’s such a hentai. He literally knows no bounds! 

Just before his singing showdown, Niina was taunting him like ‘ミュージカル王子だからね / because you’re the prince of musicals right?’ and Baba’s face was just like ‘ah balls now I have to be good’ and I honestly think it was an unexpected remake and his reaction was real at that moment. During his sing-off with Shougo, he was being so over the top and flamboyant and pulling faces and getting real close to the audience and making them feel uncomfortable as he tries to do these sexy moves but they come off really stingy (on purpose). I’m pretty sure Baba completely broke some rules when he went up to a girl in the front row and was kind like leaning into her and rolling his hips and crotch about in front of her like a strip show xD That boy will never not calm down will he xD

He is absolutely hilarious. Just his facial features and expressions alone are enough to make an entire audience lose themselves in laughter. Watching Mizuno drink himself silly on the first night working at the host club was hilarious too! The theatre goes black and then the lights go back up and him, Saito and Nakajima’s characters are just completely passed out from over drinking on their first night at the host club xD another hilarious moment from Baba is towards the end where Gekidan Bazooka reenact the murder and Baba plays the role of Suito’s father, so he’s mainly just playing dead on the floor, and everytime something breaks the scene and he gets up and then they go back into the scene, Baba (everytime) flawlessly rolled back into the dead body position and it was so smoothly done that it was cracking everyone up xD Baba I love you, never not be stupid, loud, hentai-y, and hilarious.

Moritaka Ai as Momose Niina: She's cute! And I definitely could get on board with her personality because she’s a Fujoushi and would just fantasize (as much as I did) every time she saw Suito and Ken together xD and she always put her hands up and made little bunnies out of them and reenacted the Pocky Chicken scene and imagines Ken and Suito kissing so that was enjoyable too. I’m a little upset that she couldn’t join the rest of the gang because (being the only girl) she couldn’t be a host, but it would’ve been fun if they’re done what they did to Saito’s character and made her cross-dress and try to get by as a male host. Now THAT would’ve added hilarity and more interesting scenes to the already great stage that it was.

Nakajima Kaito as  Kirijima Reito: This one I was worried about because he is so young and granted he wasn’t the worst out of the Ninninger’s, but he’s definitely got pressure on him for being a decent performer because in this stage he is surrounded by amazing actors like Suzuki, Baba and Saito. Also I think this was his first stage. But, looks like the directors and such agreed with me, because his character is very normal; obsessed with his phone, not really taking anything seriously, not really wanting to try and help, and his stage time was rather small too. So they let him play it safe which I think was the better option. Maybe in the next stage, when he’s had more experience and more work and mattured a little more, he’ll get more character development and stage time but I’m glad me and the showrunners saw eye-to-eye on Nakajima.

Kinjyou Yamato as Aoki Junzou: I don’t really have much to say about this guy; he plays a police officer who really shouldn’t have been allowed or given that job because he’s not good at his job at all and he lets criminal get away and he never arrests people and he’s too soft and nice. He got his limelight moment though when he had to take over Kinbara’s role and it was super cute where he was acting really badly but you could just hear Kinbara going ‘yeah like that! Ooooo you’re doing great!!’ and that was definitely a hilarious scene he was center for.

Maruyama Atsushi as Kinbara Toshiro: Even though the play is about attempted murder in a host club, it actually starts with everyone learning Kinbara is currently in a huge writing slump, and in order to regain it they all decide to just go into a situation unscripted; it ends up being them joining a host club and thus all the craziness ensues. There’s a point half way where Kinbara accidently gets caught up in a stabbing and then everyone thinks he’s dead -- which ends up becoming a hilarious scene and you could tell he wasn’t really going to die just based on what kind of stage this is (comedy if you didn’t get the hint already xD). The part where Kinbara, or should I saw Maruyama, really shined was during the final higawari of the day. The higawari came from the guest of the day which was Watanabe and each person from both teams (Gekidan Bazooku and Gekidan Blues) had to . Maruyama was devastated he lost xD

Soutarou as Hara: I think this one was a shocker for us all! He ends up being an onee-san and he looks completely different in all his makeup and his girlyness! Even up close he looked very convincing! But seeing him in his normal clothes and in a beard and everything, it’s difficult to believe it’s the same person! During the aftertalk, the said ‘if you keep talking like that (in his high, girly voice) people are going to think you really are that way (implying either gay or wants a sex change)’ and he very seriously looked (I think it was Sho-san xD) at him and said ‘I am that way’ oh dear lord xD his combination with Nakajima was so great and added to the comedy.

Matsumoto Hiroya as Mysterious Guy: Hiroya always seems to pull the short end of the stick. He had such a short amount of time on stage again *cries* his character definitely lived up to his name; mysterious. And his character has such a short amount of time << I already said this but I’m upset about this! I really do think Hiroya is an underrated actor, even in Sentai I think he’s underrated. I’m glad he got to be the MC during the aftertalk BUT Sho-san essentially, and very smoothly, took over as MC xD it was hilarious seeing Hiroya trying to control the group and trying to stay in control when Sho-san and Hayashi were just running amuck and completely taking over and handling the topics of discussion and the comedy. Poor Hiroya >.<

Kubodera Akira as Kiseki Yuji: I freaked when this guy came on the stage. I was like ‘OH SHIT IT’S MITSUHIDE!! (from TouStage)’. I realised who he was straight away and of course I was like ‘I automatically love this character’ even though at one point he gets accused of murdering and being the perpetrator to a crime, I was still like ‘yeah but it’s Akira from TouStage! who cares if he’s bad or not!’ xD he did a great job in this just as much as he did in TouStage. He may be an older man (okay he’s barely just turned 40) but you gotta admit he’s very good looking! and he’s always had this playful yet still mature aura about him. He definitely never shies away from comedy, even in this. Always with a smile too ^_^

Hiramaki Jin as Ruri:  Hiramaki Jin’s character surprised me. I expected him to be all cool and like ‘yah I’m a host. Look how sexy I am’ because the pamphlet shows him posing cooly, and let’s be honest that’s the type of image and aura Jin gives off (I don’t mean this in a bad way!), but he turned out to be a super cutie and adorable! He was all happy and jumpy and a little stupid but totally adorable!

Hayashi Tsuyoshi as Ran: I don’t really remember his character. The actor himself was more impressive. He was very funny and during the final song he overdid it a little and was just kind stood there out of breath and like ‘I’m too old for this’ xD he has a great dynamic with Sho-san. OH! The point that really killed us all is at the end of the story/play where they’re all having a heart-to-heart and saying all this nice stuff, but he messed up his line and with pure luck and timing it made everyone, including the cast, just break completely into laughter. No one could control themselves. It wasn’t even that funny of a mistake, but just the timing and the fact the audience had already been in fits of giggles for over 2 hours anyway, it was definitely the last straw that even broke the cast and were like collasped on the floor and laughing while facing each other and stuff. Pure gold.

Tomita Sho as Sou: My dear Sho... I was never even supposed to fall for you but the more I see you, the more I fall for you! You’re just.... so sexy and so funny and so energetic and so great and you rally understand how to shape the mood and make everyone smile while also enjoying the moment yourself. Sho-san’s character was great too. He was the number one host and the main leader of the hosts. Also his character was well known for fucking up names which really helped the comedy and hilarity. He’d be yelling and he’d be like: ‘Will you listen to me Ren?!’  ‘It’s Ran’  ‘RAN!’ I’m not doing it justice but every time it was pure gold. I’ve already mentioned his shenanigans in the aftertalk, or it will be listed below. Seriously, his is one handsome devil and he’s great at what he does and he’s so funny and....OH! I only bought his bromides; I almost bought Baba’s but in honesty, his pictures in the pamphlet are better than his shots in the bromides. Whereas Sho-san just looks great in both bromides and pamphlet xD I might try and collect his randoms too... I really liked Sho’s character and he was a very good leader and he was a very nice and forgiving character and just wanted to help everyone out. He treats the other hosts so well. He’s just a very good, decent character. Did I mention Sho-san is very unashamed of embarrassing himself and others? Which makes him all the more amazing and funny! Last thing about his; during one of his entrances from the left side door, he came down and sat on one of the aisle armrests and put his arm over the girl and like winked and her and then went up to the stage xD From the feeling I got from her, I don’t think she appreciated it (she was much older - wow I sound ageist, sorry - than I assume his fans would be, but maybe he’s seen her from his past events sand so knew she was his fan and therefore okay to go to her?) but she damn well should’ve! I had an iasle seat! Come to me!!! xD

The AfterTalk

I’ve probably already spoiled most of the aftertalk when I was talking about the actors individually but anyway, here you go:

During the aftertalk, Nakajima and Watanabe were talking about their time making the new Ninninger and Jyuohger movie and they spoke about how they went for dinner together one time and Sho-san was like ‘what did you eat? How was the food?’ and Hiroya is just like ‘食事グルメ番組になっちゃったな〜！/ This has turned into a Gurume/Food report show hasn’t it!’ xD Hiroya could NOT control Sho-san at all and it was hilarious! At one point Hayashi turned to Sho-san and was like ‘who’s supposed to be the MC here?! You or Hiroya?!’ because he was completely in control of the conversation and the questions xD

They asked the Club Jewel / Gekidan Blues members what it was like being hosts and how they prepared for their role and Hayashi was like ‘well I was a host for like 2 hour but then I quite so I’ve already done it in real life so I didn’t need to prepare’ and then Sho-san was like ‘well I’ve done a lot of host roles so I’m pretty much a professional’ and just the cool way they were like ‘yeah been there, done that, I know what I’m doing’ was soooo good without the being cocky about it and everyone was genuinely interested like ‘when were you a host Hayashi? What other roles were you a host Sho?’ and I was sat there like ‘smoothe buugers’ xD

Suzuki was SUPER quiet during the aftertalk. He didn’t talk at all after he gave his introduction. He just kind of sat there and enjoyed everyone else’s conversation which really surprised me; he’s completely the opposite of his character. I remember being surprised the first time someone told me he usually cries at the end of his stages and I was like ‘nah... Shougo is tough!’ and then I saw him ball at the HakuMyu Live 2 senshuuraku and thinking about it, it it makes sense that he would ultimately be the type of guy who takes a back seat and would be the type to stay quiet and just enjoy everyone else’s conversation rather than butt in (complete opposite to say Sugie Taishi shall we say xD that boy does NOT stop talking. He always loves jumping into conversations! Anyway...) and give his own say in the matter. He only spoke during the greetings, at the very end and when he was directly asked a question. The rest of the time, Hayashi and (especially) Sho-san were running a muck and causing everyone to laugh and controlling the conversation. Poor Hiroya couldn’t wrangle them in xD Sho-san is so funny; I swear to got I fall more for this man every time I see him; he’s just so funny and he really knows how to pull a joke and he knows how to wreak havoc without it going to far or without it becoming annoying and he’s such a great taling; he really should have been the MC for this aftertalk.

The guys doing the sound kindly had Nakajima and Watanabe’s henshin music on standby so they both did their henshin poses and sequences ^_^ but after Nakajima’s he was like ‘I didn’t realise how long mine was!’ because he spent a lot of time just stood there xD

Ise sang the theme song at the end and all the actors (even those from backstage) came out in the sweat wear and Saito went passed me and holy moly he smelt freaking amazing and then cute but shy Nakajima went past me a little. Sho-san was being himself and found an empty aisle seat about 3 rows in and just sat there and getting high fives and waving to everyone during the entire song xD I really wanted him to come over and around the theatre like everyone else but that too was fun to watch - but I was a little disappointed.

Apparently they’ve been filming the aftertalks (or at least they said that they did on this day - so safe to assume they filmed them all?) so hopefully this one is on the DVD too so we can all laugh at Sho-san and co.

---

And that’s all! I hope you enjoyed the review ^_^
