fencer_x | More TeniMyu ramblings now! (Reply)

Left the apartment much much later than I meant to, in that I had to RUN to the train station, which completely counteracted ANYthing I'd done in my apartment to make myself look presentable since I'd be on the 2nd row. Figures.

I did manage to make my train, though, and when I had to change trains again, I actually made it to an earlier one than I was supposed to catch, thus giving myself the leeway to only have to jog to Seinenkan instead of run at breakneck speed there to make curtain. Huzzah XD;

I bought this ticket on auction, and wound up in seat 37 of row B, which was about halfway between the middle and the side, so not the BEST seat, but certainly not bad! I was near enough to the center that I didn't have an unobstructed view at any point in time, which was nice :D

For my own benefit, I'm gonna try and list the songs I know I liked:

--2nd song (full cast), "Winning Road" (?)
--"Yudan Sezu ni Ikou" (I'm almost positive it's just a full version of this song now, and not a new song that just got combined with it)
--"Pinch", Shitenhouji + Ichinen Trio at start of 2nd act
--Niou's song, "Artist"? Yudan sezu ni ikou, unn aah ecstasy~
--Fuji's solo following Niou's (ETA: holy crap I just woke up with the chorus stuck in my head o____o the song is "Closed Eye")
--GP duet (I actually think I missed a song they also included lyrics to here, Yume wo Tsunage! When they sit with their backs to each other, it starts off with Tsujimoto singing, "Ore no yume wa, omae no yume sa," and Takasaki responds, "Onaji yume wo mite kita" IIRC...and then they jump into Tsujimoto singing, "Omae ga minus nara, ore wa plus ijou ni naru" which is DEFINITELY GP part 2 *_____* So that's...3 GP songs now? 2 TxN GP songs, and 1 2nd cast song? Even though Yume wo Tsunage also doubled as a full cast song) - I SO am going to be scribbling down everything I can next time. This is fucking BEAUTIFUL.
--final cast song...which I think is just a reprise of "Winning Road"? idek...I just like it :x

There are probably others I liked but don't recall at the moment XD Kaidoh's solo in which he pretty much declares his love for Inui is growing on me, but it still sounds so weird :P "ドンマイ先輩♪俺は、支えますから♪" Kaidoh + keigo = what manner of faggotry is this?? XD

I just realized that, in my absolute fangirling last time, I forgot to talk about some of the CRAZY that went on this myu. Like Atobe chartering a helicopter (complete with "ATOBE" painted on the side) and he, Momo, and random!Oshitari FLYING AROUND IN IT TO FIND ECHIZEN. Like, they were literally FLYING IN A HELICOPTER (in a pre-recorded video, mind you), it was pretty awesome 8D Also, yay for Kubobe and AkiShin cameos :D

Fun random things that I noticed this time:

While Tezuka's playing Sanada, Oishi's doing his usual mother hen bit and freaking out, bitching him out with, "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS?! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOUR BODY FOR THE TEAM?!" which is exactly what *I* always wonder >_> after that, there's a whole team song that pretty much asks the same thing (Hashimoto has a beautiful line in it, too *___* Boy's got an amazing Fuji voice) After he loses, however, and is lying there on the ground...it's not Oishi who rushes forward and helps him. It's Fuji, and everyone else kind of steps back. It's little things like that (and oh yeah, I definitely take the Myus as part of canon, cause Konomi's gotta have some say in it, I figure) that make me remember that yeah, I really like Tezuka and Fuji's relationship. I've never read a TezuFuji fic I've liked (and I'd LOVE to read one and like it, but it has never happened), but their canon relationship is just. Guh. It's one of those special relationships that just gets me, romantic or no.

I completely forgot that Shouta crotch-faces with Tsujimoto at the end of their match, and thus forgot to really LOOK and see if he actually jumps that high. Catching the tail end of it, I ALMOST want to say Tsujimoto maybe helps lift him up? idek... I did, however, appreciate how it sent the audience into FITS today XDDDD I don't remember that happening last time~

Speaking of GP, in the opening when all of Seigaku are shown going through their own morning regimens, it really hit me how final this Myu really is, in more ways than one, when Shouta said, "いよいよ来たか...アイツとの最後の試合..." ("It's finally here huh...my last match with him...") ;___; Even in their duet they sing, "最後のゴールデンペアだよ!" Fuck guys...! It just makes it even worse that they look so genuinely thrilled and happy when they win, the way Shouta jumps on Tsujimoto's shoulders and he swings them both around ;__; Senshuuraku's gonna suck.

The Jackal+Marui duet right before GP's, when they're kicking GP ass, really really annoys me :P Just because it's pretty much entirely, "omg is THIS all you are? lolololol we knew you sucked but we didn't realize you sucked THIS bad. God you don't even deserve the title of 'Golden Pair' lololololol" >( *irrational irritation is not irrational at all*

During FGKS, we had Kanesaki right in front of us. He was hip-thrusting the whole time, and seemed to enjoy the way the girls were all freaking out and giggling about it XDDDD I may have grown fonder of him just for that :D

During bows, it was...kinda weird the order they had everyone come out in. I thought it was supposed to be least important-->most important, and IIRC in pretty much every myu until no, GP's always come out one after the other, but this time it's Momo, Kaidoh, Eiji, Taka-san, Inui, Oishi, Fuji, Tezuka, Echizen (I think). Taka-san has all of, like, 4 lines, and Inui's wearing a MASK half the Myu. WTF IS WITH THAT ORDER? This also meant that afterwards, when everyone else comes back out, Shouta's almost on the exact opposite end from Tsujimoto. HOWEVER. HOOOOOWEVER. After Seigaku bows, when they motion for everyone else to come back out for a full cast bow, I've noticed Shouta does this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME: He falls back behind everyone, then runs right over beside Tsujimoto, shoves whoever's beside him out of the way, and squeezes his cute little butt right beside Tsujimoto. It happened in Hyoutei, and I just thought it was cute, and I didn't see Shitenhouji. When I saw Rikkai a few nights ago, I barely caught it, but it didn't click with me, but seeing it today it was like, "...waitasec, DOES HE ALWAYS DO THAT?! WHY?" I am now entertaining all manner of drabbly thoughts involving Shouta's absolute need to be by Tsujimoto as often as possible :xxxxx

Okay, THIS freaked me out: during the Fuji vs. Niou match, Niou of course uses his Illusion to change into Tezuka first, and then Shiraishi, and then both. I thought it was very clever, because rather than having the audience imagine this was happening, they actually used BabaRyo and Shiraishi (...dunno his name XD). I assumed, from my seat way the fuck in the back, that this meant they just weren't going to have Tezuka be on the bench at that time, and deus ex machina it.

BUT THERE IS A TEZUKA ON THE BENCH WHILE BABARYO IS PLAYING. WTF? I think (think) it might be Arai (Inui's actor) since I'm 99% sure Inui's lines around then are pre-recorded, since his face is COMPLETELY covered with bandages so of course he can't speak. Shiraishi's disappearance isn't explained, and the Shitenhouji regulars are left wondering afterwards, but there's very definitely a stoic Tezuka-ish person on the bench during Tezuka!Niou's match. Craaaaazy!

On a final note: there is absolutely nothing more fun in the world than FGKS 3 feet from the stage. Nothing. It's seriously such an energetic song, the guys go CRAZY in it (BabaRyo and Yanagi's actor were having some shoving contest or something, and Horio and Kanesaki were having a stare-down), it's a time when the audience can participate, and just...gah. Best part of TeniMyu nowadays, hands down.

I leave you all who've gotten this far with this download: T2 cellphone ringtones. They're really crappily recorded--downloaded from the TeniMyu mobile site, recorded to my camera, transferred to my computer. They're just random audio files to use on your cellphone to indicate an incoming call or email, etc. It's all lines from actual Myus, but with a few words changed to make it sound like it's for a cellphone XD; Such as Shouta going, "Omatahe! Chakushin kanryou da yon!" ("Sorry for the wait! You've got mail!" instead of "juuden kanryou da yon!") etc. :P They're all adorable, as T2 are wont to be :D
