I know that, having seen musicals about tennis, death gods, exorcisms, and suicide, I am the LEAST qualified to say this, and am possibly the biggest hypocrite on the planet, but...
Musical Boukenshatachi is the weirdest, cheesiest thing I've seen in ages, and not necessarily in a good way XD I just...felt so embarrassed for the guys at some parts :P But overall it was quite good--DAIKI'S SINGING WAS NOT EAR-RAPINGLY BAD :OOOOOO You've come a long way, Leader! Guess all that *ahem* extra practice time with the Hubby's finally paying off eh??
And GAWD the cutest little girl was in the show, and DAYUM if she wasn't the best singer in the group (and there were some GOOD singers! I don't think I ever realized Naru was that good o_O And the lead role Naitou Taiki (??) was AWESOME too).
I think the biggest accomplishment of the evening was having a convo with the girl sitting next to me, who thought I'd come from overseas just to see the show :D We conversed for a while before the show started, and found out we like a lot of the same groups (1st cast, pnish, TeniMyu) and that she'd done an exchange program with the University of California at Irvine! I never actually SPOKE to her in English, but the few words that slipped into the convo now and then from her were REALLY well pronounced, so I suspect she's quite good at English ^_~ This will actually be the FIRST Japanese fan I've become friends with who speaks English to any passing ability o_O
I really wish there was a CD of the show coming out *pouts* it wasn't so good that I want the DVD, but still~
Also, I feel I need to turn in my fandom license, as I DID NOT RECOGNIZE TAKIYUKI UNTIL CURTAIN CALL, EVEN THOUGH I WAS LOOKING FOR HIM THE ENTIRE TIME. Bah :/
