2kg "Birigaki"
24 July 2009 10:40 amSo last night, I met up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
imma_holiday for one last fling before she leaves Japan today (tata! Safe flight!!), and we went to see Kitty Guys in their new show, "Birigaki", which runs until this weekend.
I really wish I'd had time to go see it at least once more, as it was a HILARIOUS show, as expected from the guys XD But tonight is Tower of Sugar, and tomorrow starts the On7 Nagoya shows! So alas :(
The plot revolved around "kids" in a special classroom just for people born on February 29th. All of the "children" are part of an experiment that keeps them (mentally) at their "official" age of 7, despite their physical age of 28. Since they're obviously quite bigger than all the other 2nd graders, they're in their own special class with their own special teacher, and the play is about the things that happen in this weird class of grown-up 7-year-olds.
Yasu was the star, amazingly enough--he played a counselor who just started at the school, who learns about this class and gets involved in it. His character was the only really sane one in the show, which was quite a switch for Yasu, but made him extremely loveable XD
Tachibana was one of the other teachers in the school, really strict and helping Yasu get settled in. Iwashita and Gaku were two of the regular students in the class--Gaku was one of the bitchy, devil-may-care "URUSEE" yancha students (...which REALLY suited him XD) and Iwashita was the really soft-spoken polite kid who always wore a suit to class. Kuri played a yakuza member in Gaku's father's yakuza gang (I think? XD) and was HILARIOUS, and Kuma...
Oh Kuma. Kuma...Kuma wore a pink version of this and was supposed to be a transfer student, Yui-chan. They could never figure out if he was a boy or a girl. He had a baby, though, that he always carried around and fed a bottle. It was.......so very, very special.
Lastly, their guest was the homeroom teacher of this special class, and he CRACKED ME UP. Edogawa...Manjisomething, I forget. BUT GOD. HILARIOUS.
Like I said, though, I really wish I'd had more time to go see it again. To see Kuri being scared out of his fucking mind that there's a ghost teacher (which everyone made up), or MOUNTING KUMA AND SMACKING HIS ASS, Kuma in that short short skirt making us wonder if he had anything on underneath it for the first 10 min or so, Gaku being really appropriate for his part, everything ;_;
These guys REALLY need to start releasing this stuff on DVD dammit :/
