fencer_x: (Determination to Win)
[personal profile] fencer_x
Today was TeniMyu senshuuraku! I nabbed a ticket at auction a few weeks back, determined to see it at least ONCE from a good spot, and today...today did not disappoint XD

Now, I didn't go to senshuuraku--I went to maeraku, the show right before senshuuraku. Still, it was well worth it :D I was in row G, seat 18, which put me in the back row of the front section, and just off to the side a little. I took the opportunity today to write down the entire track listing, so for anyone interested, here are the songs in the show! (please note that all song titles are pretty much educated guesses :P)

1) Winning Road (Seigaku + Rikkai)
2) Checkmate (Seigaku + Rikkai)
3) ?? (Sanada solo, sounds similar to Fuurin Kazan, so may have a similar name)
4) Yudan Sezi ni Ikou 2 (...just like it says :P Tezuka solo that's pretty much just an extended version of the original, turns into a full Seigaku song)
5) Tezuka Phantom (Seigaku; I'm not sure if "Phantom" is the word--it's whatever the name of the move is :P)
6) ?? (Yanagi + Kirihara duet)
7) ?? (Kaidoh solo)
8) ?? (Kirihara solo + Rikkai backup)
9) #7, reprise (Inui + Kaidoh duet)
10) ?? (Rikkai)
INTERMISSION
11) ?? (Shitenhouji)
12) Pinch (Shitenhouji + Ichinen Trio)
13) Closed Eye (Fuji solo)
14) Genius vs. Artist (Niou solo)
15) Power Wrist wo Hazushita Ore-tachi ("We Who've Taken Off Our Wrist Weights"; Marui + Jackal duet)
16) Saigo no Golden Pair ("Last Golden Pair"; Eiji + Oishi duet)
17) Omoidase, Echizen ("Remember, Echizen"; Seigaku--personal note, I LOVE Ryuuki's part here, he's really coming into his own as Echizen, and his voice just gives me CHILLS)
18) Checkmate, reprise (full cast)
19) Winning Road (full cast)



Our intermission had Kenya coming in from the side opposite us, and--holy shit, thought I was gonna piss myself--Shiraishi coming in from RIGHT beside us *____* God but Harukawa is a beautiful guy XDDDD Kenya pretended he didn't know Shiraishi at all, who tricked him into revealing himself with the following exchange:

Kenya: "Really--you must have me confused with someone else!"
Shiraishi: "Hmm...hiitari oshitari?"
Kenya: "--KENYA DESU!"

(pun on his name "Oshitari Kenya" and the phrase "hiitari oshitari", which means "pull some, push some" XDDDDD)

As if that wasn't hilarious enough, then, they punned Shiraishi's as follows:

Kenya: "Akaishi, kuroishi--?" ("Redstone, blackstone--?")
Shiraishi: "--SHIRAISHI DESU!" ("I'm Shiraishi/Whitestone!")

Kenya then complained he wasn't able to sell any of his soumen, so Shiraishi offered to help coach him on how best to interract with customers. He took Kenya's soumen box and instructed Kenya to approach him looking to buy something. Their conversation went as follows:

Kenya: "Ah, excuse me...could I get one cup of soumen?"
Shiraishi: "Mm, ecstasy."
Kenya: "...Right. So, one cup of soumen?"
Shiraishi: "E~cstasy."
Kenya: "Uuh...how many types of soumen do you have?"
Shiraishi: "Ecstasy."
Kenya: "...Could you tell me how much the soumen is?"
Shiraishi: "Aah...hm. Ecstasy."

...repeat ad nauseum XDDDDD The audience was DYING, and I have way way much respect for Harukawa for not BUSTING A GUT while doing that. According to [livejournal.com profile] solaas and her group, he was reeeaaaally struggling to hold it together, and he did! XDDDD

In other news, I was DETERMINED to write down as MUCH of the lyrics to the new GP song (tentatively titled "Saigo no Golden Pair" ;__;) as possible, and...managed some of it? My notes are a huge scribble, as I struggled to keep up with T2, but...I dunno, maybe it'll mean SOMETHING :P These aren't complete, I won't even tell you there aren't words missing between lines but...well :P ENJOY.

[Guys go synchro after Momo thanks them for buying time to get back Echizen's memory]

Eiji: "Furikaereba, itsumo kimi ga sono anshinkan da [...] Kimi ga ite yokatta" ("When I look back, you're always that sense of peace [...] I'm glad you were there." <--I think I've left out a word or two here XD But you get the idea :P)

Oishi: "Yobikaereba, furimuite kureru [...] Kimi ga ite yokatta" ("When I call you, you always turn and look at me [...] I'm glad you were there.")

Both:  "Kimi no hikari ga [...]" ("Your light..." <--the line went something like "Your light is always shining down on me", I just didn't have time to scribble the line in Japanese. GOD. SO GAY.)

Eiji: "Ore no yume wa, omae no yume sa, onaji yume wo mite kita" ("My dream is yours, we dream the same dream" <--this line was lifted from Yume wo Tsunage, HyouteiMyu IIRC)

Oishi: "Omae ga minus nara, ore wa plus ijou ni naru. Itsumo tayori ni shiteru yo" ("If you're 'minus', then I'll be an even greater 'plus'. I'm always depending on you." <--the second part might have been sung by Eiji here, but I can't recall. Lifted from More Than Limit's Golden Pair, Part 2)

Both: "Wakare ga kitemo, wasure wa shinai, futari wa hitotsu datte koto wo~" ("Even if we should separate, we'll never forget that we two are one." <--DYYYYYYING, PEOPLE. LOVE for brand new lines *____*)

Both: "Kore ga saigo no Golden Pair. Ore to omae wa Golden Pair." ("This is the last Golden Pair. You and I are the Golden Pair." <--WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING US?! Second part lifted from More Than Limit's Depend on Me)

Both: "Donna pinch no toki mo, futari de genkai wo koete ikou." (Lifted from More Than Limit's Depend on Me and Juuden Kanryou<--at the end of this, they both stand kind of diagonal back to back, staggered, pointing out into the audience and slowly lifting their hands to the sky *____*)

END

*____*

GOD. THIS IS GOING TO BE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GP SONG EVER. They've done such a fucking great job blending all of these songs together (I suppose I should give credit for that to the music director, though, huh? XDDDD GREAT JOB, SIR OR MA'AM!), and I do not feel one iota of disappointment at the only Tuti/Nagayan GP song that had not been "tainted" by another cast finally being re-sung. T2 kicked ass.

On a related note, at curtain--as usual, Shouta was way off on the side at Seigaku bows, and when they called everyone on for full cast bows, he dropped back and scurried (scurried) over by Tsujimoto, SHOVED Ikkou out of the way (god, Ikkou totally looked like, "...what the HELL, dude?!") and Shouta just...gave him this LOOK like they were about to throw down if he didn't scoot his ass to the left 8DDDD Tsujimoto kinda looked at him weird, and Shouta turns and is all ^______^ smiles, then holds his hand up like he wants a high-five...AND TSUJIMOTO GIVES HIM NOTHING XDD;;;;;;; He totally let it hang there for, like, 5 seconds XD God, poor thing XD

This was made ALL better in FGKS, though 8D

Both of them stayed up on stage, running around and doing their separate things (note: FGKS brought Yanagi, Tezuka, Gin, Shiraishi, and Niou within mere feet of me *___* THERE IS A GOD, AND HE DEEMS THAT I SHOULD BE SURROUNDED BY HOT MEN. Except Yanagi, sorry :P), until the end of the song came, and then they just butted up against each other and wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders. Then Shouta took this big bow, and Tsujimoto kinda just stared at him like, "...Uuh what're you doing?" and...then just rested his hand on his back for a little bit, before taking a bow himself, then they waved like crazy in their own little GP-inspired world :P GOD BOYS. KEEP BEING SUPER AT YOUR JOBS, K???

Also, Shouta's hair? Looked awesome, if not a little...maroon? XDDDD Was indistinguishable from the wig!



[livejournal.com profile] solaas was kind enough to let me steal her pamphlet and take some pics for sharing purposes...but beware, it's nothing but GP/T2 so...:P



From the Seigaku clearfile (clearfiles were available for each team, 350yen each :D) Gah, I LOVE their Golden Pair so harrrrrd :P Shouta's such an adorable Eiji, and Tsujimoto's smile kills me *____*



From the Seigaku team shot inside the pamphlet.



From the random shots inside the pamphlet; Tsujimoto on the left, and I believe that's Hayashi (Kaidoh) on the right? This was also the photoshoot for the memopad you get free with a team set...and Shouta's with another group, booooo. I'm hoping there are at least a COUPLE of shots of Tsujimoto and Shouta in at least SOME group, if not just the two of them.



Shouta's normal-clothes shot. Not sure how I feel about that shirt... XD;;



HOLY SHIT KIKUMARU EIJI *______* I feel like you don't get the same feeling in this bad pic, but my jaw DROPPED when I saw this shot. GUH. That "ready for a fight" look on his face *fans self* mama like!


Tsujimoto's normal-clothes shot. Fasionable as usual!



And ANOTHER A+ shot! Oishi is NOT an easy character to look good as, but I APPROVE.



Now, completely unrelated, a picture to demonstrate how close our new office is to Tokyo Tower:



The big glass-windowed building on the right of the pic is my office. And that tall tower-like place on the left behind the other building...is the one that Godzilla always destroys 8D

So this time Seigaku won't get their own musical cover song, instead having to share it with Rikkai?

Date: 2009-08-16 01:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fencer-x.livejournal.com
Yes, pretty much--both schools have their kind of...separate verses, I guess? But overall it's a Rikkai and Seigaku song (ack, I need to specify that--Shitenhouji doesn't sing at first)

They decided to do something different for the last arcof the myu, eh.

Thank you for the info.

FUCK! I forgot you were going to maeraku and therefore possibly able buy more merchandise.... TT^TT Are the same photosets and such going to be available for the next myu?

Those scans are adorable! 8D And I'm so amused with the Shitenhouji adlibing. XD "Hiitari, Oshitari, Kenya desu" was in one of the backstages for 4A, I think, too.

...Tokyo Gaisen? :P I'm still saving all the stuff I wanna buy for myself for then :D

Same merchandise for that showing, then? Okay... Whew... ^^; The clear file looks adorable and I hadn't known of its existence. And, I'm a dumb spazz and completely forgot about pamphlets and how they exist for every myu. -.-;

Yeah, just let me know when you want money (I just got some birthday cash early) and I'll be sending you some for more merchandise. Like the whole set of Seigaku photosets so we can take a peek at that extra notepad. :D

From: [identity profile] fencer-x.livejournal.com
Yup, as far as I know, same merch :D All the goods are listed on the official site, but I just kind of ignored it until we went yesterday and I actually LOOKED at the pics of the goods XD;; I saw that one pic of Eiji and Oishi, and daaaaayum I'm sold :P Only 350, too!

I'm going to be emptying my wallet at Gaisen, though XD So definitely feel free to demand more stuff! *still has your photosets to send off, ack*

From: [identity profile] amyused.livejournal.com
If you don't get around to mailing my photosets, that's okay, since I'll be buying more stuff. ^^ Might as well wait. (I'll just go look at that site, then! 8D)

Also, if you were planning on only buying T2 photosets, I realised that it's kinda silly that I just bought them already individually when I'm planning on buying the whole set of Seigaku. I can give you mine (as in the ones you already bought for me) in like, exchange for shipping or something for all the crap that I'm planning on buying when you go to Gaisen. ^^

That sounds economic :D

Now maybe it'll feel like you're buying less? ^_^ And yeah, go me, not thinking ahead about the fact that I want the whole set. XD;; I may end up wanting all of Shitenhouji photosets, too. x.x; I'll decide before you go.

So... Have some photosets! :D <3

I don't know about Haru, but I busted a gut just reading it xD How much of the Shitenhouji cast was there?

I hope (but they won't most likely) the put the intermission on the dvd 8D

Date: 2009-08-17 10:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fencer-x.livejournal.com
All of Shitenhouji were there :P They actually got quite a bit of screentime/songs, considering they were just guests.

I'm sure at least some of the intermission bits will be included as ad-libs, since it changed for every performance :)

There was a person with a camera present just inside the door on our side, so the maeraku adlib was definitely filmed. ;)

Gaaah~ These performances all sound so awesome! Getting back to the roots an riminding us of where it all began, and with a cast that really cares about portraying their characters the right way!

Major lulz at Kenya and Shiraishi. Bad puns~ how I love thee.
Thanks once again for a great tale of Tenimyu, especially the "Saigo no GP" lyrics. It sounds so moving and sweet and so THEM. Can't wait to hear it myself. How long will it take for this to come out on DVD? Too log, I fear. xP ♥

Hahaha... xD

Thank you for your review, Fencer-san! =]

Hahaha... It must had been hilarious! xDD
Haru is love... <3

BTW, I think it was with you that some friends of mine, here in Brazil, met some weeks ago, wasn't it? ^^
