And now for something a little happier XD MAHAMO UPDATES!
October 31
--DVD taping day! I have to say...I really really hope they use the afternoon performance (which we didn't see, because we were in Hard to Hold) and not the evening one that we saw because...god there were so many flubs XD;;;; I think everyone--except Daiki!--flubbed at least once, sheesh XD; It wasn't horrible, but it was like, "Come on guys, you should be used to this by now!" Oi :P
--I don't think I ever noticed how REALLY THICK Tuti's makeup is: he's got this bright blue eyeshadow all around his eyes, his face is flecked with gold glitter and bronze/gold highlights and...he has this BRIGHT pink lipstick on XDI'm most assuredly not thinking about him being evil and smacking Nagayan on the cheek or something RIGHT before they go on 8D
--Tuti's started really getting playful with some of his scenes XD;;; As I mentioned in a previous post, when he's trying to distract the guards by explaining that there's a woman loose in the castle, he's started miming boobs. This evening, he added to that some gesturing to indicate how the castle was reacting to it: some very sexy hip thrusts XD;;;;
--during Nataraja's and Pasupata's big fight scene, they periodically sneeze because there's a bunch of pepper floating around (yaaaay body humor). Just as Pasupata's about to flee, intent on not fighting Nataraja any more, he gives a final sneeze before running off stage. For the past few days, Nagayan's turned on his heel right as he sneezes...so that he showers Tuti with it XD;;;;
--instead of the usual miokuri, since it was Halloween, WE GOT CANDY FROM *PNISH*! :DDDDD Each of the guys took one of the 4 doors and...oh joy, luck of luck, I got Tuti >_> I love Tuti, to bits, BUT HE SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME. Soooo I just enjoyed being that close to him in his Nataraja costume...and calmly took my candy from the utterly adorable Naitou, whom everyone was avoiding to get a chance to get their candy from Tuti XDDDDD
November 1 (afternoon)
--I've started realizing that Daiki and Nagayan really like to bump booties. It's their version of a high-five (maybe Daiki refused to high-five Nagayan because it's his and Eiji's symbol of affection idek XD)--any time they accomplish something awesome, which is like every 5 min they are together on stage, there is booty-bumping going on. Today in the opening dance, they really got into it, and after their booty bump, they giggled like thewivesgirls they are and then Daiki proceeded to tickle Nagayan in a manner which made me go "ayudksfhsdifusf ".
--Anyone know if there's any special meaning to bindis/tilak(a)? Pasupata's got a blue jewel in the middle of his forehead, Shiva's got a red one, but Nataraja just has a red dot between his eyes--this could just be because the elephant headpiece kind of would cover up anything higher up than the middle of the eyes, sooooo any clues? *woefully ignorant*
--There's a scene where Pasupata, Shiva, and Parvati are on the run, hiding out with the theatre troupe who's rehearsing for their performance at the festival. Since they're troupe members too, now, they have to help rehearse. Part of this rehearsal involves them all talking at the same time, trying to be heard over each other. Lately Nagayan has taken to singing at the top of his lungs XD;;; I dunno WHAT it is...but for some reason it sounds like he's singing Wonderful from Wicked D: I'll have to investigate this further...!
--during the slapfest at the end between Nataraja, Pasupata, and Shiva, Eiji and Kote have started having their own little slapfest, mostly involving launching themselves at one another and bumping chests, idek XD
--miokuri was Daiki, Ore no Graffiti, Naitou, and Tsubasa (4th gen Kachiro!)
November 1 (evening)
--the scene where Nataraja distracts the guards with his gesticulations about women in the castle took another step up...when he KEPT DOING THE HIP THRUSTS for, like, 5 whole seconds after the guards were gone XD;;;;
--during the fight between Nataraja and Pasupata, I never noticed this before...but Tuti has his eyes CLOSED. When they're close together, chests pressed against one another and Pasupata is staring up into Nataraja's face screaming, "You saved my life! You're my friend!!", Tuti's got his eyes closed, WTF?! I...don't know what to make of that.
--during the slapfest at the end this show...Nagayan actually SPANKED Tuti. Like, wound up and gave him a loud SMACK on the ass. Tuti actually jumped a little and gave him this look like, "...THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" XDDDDDDDD OH BOYS.
--for the miokuri this evening, I was convinced Nagayan and Mako-chan would be doing it, since they've always followed Daiki's little group. I also figured that Eiji would be the *pnish* member with them, since they've been switching it up and it'd been a while since Eiji had done it (he's only done it once, at Kobe's senshuuraku)--Tuti had done miokuri with Nagayan already, as had Wasshi, so that left Eiji and Daiki. Since Daiki had just gone, logic dictated it was fuku-Leader's turn to pony up! BUT NOPE. When Wasshi asked who was doing miokuri, MR. ODEKO-SAN WAVED HIS HAND PROUDLY :D And subsequently announced that he'd be doing miokuri with Pasupata and Parvati :DDDDDD Unfortunately, I was too busy cursing to myself (I wasn't happy about having to slink past them in my Blossam shirt, 3rd child, and Gain bag >_>) to notice if there were squeals of delight but...I'm sure there were :D
And now for some picspam!

Shin-Kobe Oriental Theater in Kobe, where the Kobe shows were held.

The theater was in kind of an open-air mall. This is a shot of the mall.

Before opening night, though,
daiki_dansu and I got sustenance at...where else? Right next to Sannomiya station~
Now moving on to Tokyo...

After much searching, we found the mythical huge-ass MahaMo promo board in the underground tunnel connecting Tokyu Hands and Sunshine City!

Between shows, we grabbed a bite to eat at a little hole-in-the-wall Indian place behind Tokyu Hands! Was quite delish *___*

...and they offered some *pnish*-approved wine selections :D (for the Japanese-illiterate, the top line says, "Wine from the land beloved by the maharaja")
