Hamstar ~ pine tree ~ NCC-1701
Well! It's been a productive weekend! Friday and Saturday were more my weekend days this week, so that means I get to rest (and ship off packages I've been putting off because zomg Animate FINALLY got me my FilmFes DVDs >_>
and relax!
Bank Bang Lesson, if you haven't heard me fangirling it, this is the show starring (among others) Gaku, Osamu-chan, Katou Ryousuke, and Takuya, with a sсript by the same author who wrote Aru Hi Bokura wa Yume no Naka de Deau. Truth be told, I was MOST excited to see another show by that author XD Sorry hubby~
But HOLY CRAP. If I thought this show might be ANYTHING like Aru Hi, boy was I wrong. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was a comedy pretty much through and through, and there were no psycho killers with adorable faces to be seen :P
The rough gist of the show revolved around a bank branch running a simulated robbery (with 2 hired men--Gaku, and another guy--pretending to hold them up) and gradually getting more and more into the simulation, dragging in all kinds of cliches. Kind of a play within a play
There was a "man on the inside", a touching father-son reunion, a gay marriage (though admittedly, Ryousuke was playing the female nurse to Takuya's doctor...so does that still count as gay? XDDDD), breaking character because stuff was too funny, tragically overacted death scenes, and more XDDD
Unfortunately, because the opening and ending dances were set to music by Greeeen, and thus copyrighted, they won't be releasing the show on DVD. Which fucking SUCKS :/
Also, as this was my first time at a show of Gaku's since his birthday, I took the opportunity to give Gaku his present--well, indirectly (present being a fuckton of American chocolate of all different flavors, but mostly mint since he said it was his favorite. I PAY ATTENTION, SEE?). Being the coward that I am, I just turned it into the present table 8D Paula, Rachel, and I all waited at demachi, though, because DUH. That many big names in one space? Like hell we're not waiting. While standing around, however, we found out Iwashita-san had come to see the show when he scaled the stairs and walked past our group to the station. We twittered oh-so-subtly amongst ourselves something to the tune of, "omgomgomg IWASHITA-SAN. DON'T LOOK DON'T LOOK IWASHITA-SAN," and were thus so surprised when he noticed us not-obviously staring at him, then leaned forward and gave a little wave and a smile. We all gave little waves back and were very very happy Iwashita-san fucking WINS.
Ryousuke came out and made a beeline for the station, smart boy XD Takuya tried the same, but was alas, too slow. He got pounced upon and pressed for autographs, which he handled like a man and gave out freely Nice guy! I didn't get one, because...I always feel bad asking for that sort of thing :P But others did XD
Gaku sidled out (wiiiith my bag in hand >_> and got hounded by his own group of girls, and we made our exit after Paula and Rachel managed to snag his autograph while I, again, hung back :P
Osamu-chan was last, but didn't hang out too long, plus he had a manager with him, so few girls bothered him. The day's mission complete, we headed out; the next day (today), however, when Meg went to Bank Bang Lesson as well, she hung out for demachi and got to talk to Gaku a bit who...apparently asked where I was. And if since I wasn't there tonight, would I be there tomorrow, because he didn't get to talk to me the night before.
What.
Fuck no, man. I'm not going to be alone with you you might confess. And since no one else can come with me, I won't be going to senshuuraku :P
...I'll see him at the KG birthday event anyways XD He can lavish thanks on me THEN :P
Saturday was a NIGHTMARE XD;;; Meg spent the night at my place, with the intention of trying for toujitsuken at KuroMyu, only to find ALL TICKETS WERE SOLD and there WERE no toujitsuken tickets. This was why she went to BBL instead, as mentioned above, so her trip wasn't entirely wasted
We bombarded the phonelines at 10 AM to get On7 tickets, which we successfully managed to nab! Nagoya shonichi and maeraku are got, and senshuuraku we'll try for tomorrow during the lottery. Also nabbed one Tokyo day (Jul 13) and will likely try for more XD Concentrating on all of that, though, nearly made me forget what time it was, so I was nearly late for KuroMyu at 1 PM @___@ Made it in time, though, and bought a pamphlet and Ciel photoset (SEBASTIAN DIDN'T HAVE ONE. WTF????)
The pamphlet is AMAZING. It's a hard-cover bound book--not just a pamphlet--with a beautiful black fabric cover and silver lettering. GUH. Best 2500 I've spent in a while.
The show itself would take too long to write about, other than to say that it takes place after the curry arc and before...everything after it XD
Hopefully you're not reading this if you want to be surprised at the show, but for those of you who won't be able to see it (until the DVD comes out! They're already taking preorders XD)--they throw in EVERY CHARACTER POSSIBLE. Not just Lao and the Undertaker and Grell (who was ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY BUT I'M GLAD HE WAS THERE ANYWAYS), you get Agni, Sohma, and Ran Mao!
Also, the costumes were A-FUCKING-MAZING, and the acting spot-on; these guys had their characters' mannerisms and VOICES down PAT. Eerie almost! My only complaints were that, while Matsushita Yuuya is an AMAZING singer, his voice is just too high for my liking for playing Sebastian. Not a deal-breaker, thoughDDDD
In other news... And by T2, I refer of course to Tsujimoto and Takasaki, 5th cast Oishi and Eiji. Read from her most recent blog entry:
And on top of this hard schedule, I was able to successfully secure a ticket for the 5th cast Golden Pair event.
Aaah, I can't wait~!! A 5th cast Golden Pair talk.
This will actually be my first time attending a TeniMyu event since 1st cast. And I bought the first DVD since Rikkai's 1st show--of course it was 5B! I've got their Synchro on hard repeat. And for the first time in a while I'm watching the backstages over and over and over. 5th cast is adorable!
OOOOOHHHH BOOYEAH. Take THAT every other cast since 1st cast. The #1 TxN fan in the Japanese fandom now also agrees on the AWESOME ADORABLENESS of Tsujimoto and Takasaki. FUCKYEAH. This chick who hasn't been to events since 1st cast, who's not even been bothered to buy a DVD since Rikkai1 (*cough*3rdand4thcast*cough*) NOW IS THROWING HER SUPPORT BEHIND THE UNSTOPPABLE GP BEHEMOTH THAT IS T2. Fuck. Yessssss.
STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, DOUBTERS. Not that Mitsuru is the be-all-end-all of defining A Good Golden Pair, but I find it so fucking amazing that every single TxN shipper in the Japanese fandom I've come across has expressed nothing but blase feelings for 2, 3, and 4th cast's GPs, but absolute unabashed LOVE for 5th cast. HA. HA. And also: HA. 5TH CAST FUCKING RULES. In the GP department, at least. From the ladies who know a good myu GP when they see one: from Tuti...to T2!
