So, not a spoiler: THE SHOW WAS AMAZING. But then...we were already expecting that, no? :D A few last minute changes meant I wound up going with [livejournal.com profile] rensahannou instead of my initial partner-in-BuriMyu-going, but this worked out as we had an AWESOME time together.

I've separated out this post into two parts--photoset and pamphlet pics below (low quality, because I snapped them with my camera. HQ ones come when I get back to Tokyo tomorrow XD), only select ones though :P

The second cut has my thoughts/notes on the show, including a full song list and fun comments I made XD Choose to read it or not, if you don't want to be spoiled ^___^

From the pamphlet, I was...a little disappointed, as initially I had expected to be bowled over by TxN from their shoot, since they shot together with Eiki! Yet Nagayan was often in pics with Kumiko, while Tuti was often in them alone with Eiki. Well I suppose it made sense being taichou/fukutaichou and all, but still.

However...I realized on closer inspection...we were definitely not deprived of some prime Tuti/Nagayan shots that are going to fuel some fic liekwhoa.

Exhibits A-C:





...Yes, that's Tuti, playing the guitar...and Nagayan listening and singing along *________* I repeat: TUTI AND NAGAYAN SINGING TOGETHER AND DUETING AND TOTALLY PREPPING FOR WHAT WILL LIKELY BE TUTI'S GUESTING SPOT AT NAGAYAN'S NEXT LIVE FOR SURE. I dunno, but guh. What brought this on?! Tuti's sudden interest in guitar, I mean?!

In other news, for the Momo+Kaidoh fans out there...



...This could make me seeeeeriously reconsider my current Eiji shipping tendencies XD



Nagayan is afraid of poodles...? This could spell trouble for Lala-chan! Or maybe it's just massive ones? :D



I'm pretty sure these are sequential XD As that's Eiki taking the pic of Tuti on the left...and then a picture, with the note, "Photographer: Kitamura Eiki" XDDDDD

Now we move on to the official pamphlet pics and not the offshots above...



Tuti's pamphlet large pic...looking HOT. I can't wait to get this up in a respectable size...!



And one of the smaller ones, looking HOTTER STILL. GUH. I WANT TO LICK THIS.

...but then we come to Nagayan...



SOMEONE NEEDS TO BREAK INTO HIS APARTMENT, STEAL THOSE GLASSES, AND GRIND THEM INTO A FINE POWDER, UGH. Way to RUIN that shot :/



He makes up for it a little with the smaller pics, but still :P

AND THEN COME THE PHOTOSETS...

WARNING: PREPARE YOURSELF FOR HOT

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?

OK.



First, the formal picture--AT A BAR NO LESS. One of those dark, hotel lounge-type bars, FYI.



And the ADORABLE 'smile for me!' pic~ (looks a little funky because of the angle I snapped it at -- the scan will look better)



AND NOW NAGAYAN'S VERSION OF THE HOTNESS! Coincidentally (???) also shot in what appears to be the same hotel lounge bar XD (both Eiji's and Tacchan's were in alternate locations). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :D



...and the adorableness! I love his old-timey camera XD

And we end with more adorableness that I wanted to include:



It looks like a wedding picture XD

AND NOW, SPOILERS FOR BURIMYU!

Only venture below here if you WANT to be spoiled...!

OK!

So our seats were quite a bit better than I had expected, and although slightly off to the side, we managed to be on the horizontal aisle (not the aisles going down from back to front, but the one from side to side), which proved fortuitous later on 8D

Funnily enough, they were playing Nickelback before the show, wtf XD Who let Tuti bring his CD collection to Fukuoka? Also funny: the fact that, until ~10 min before show time, there were 3 rows of unfilled seats in the center near us. I wondered if they were for kankeisha, and Kaede reminded me...that both Eiji and Eiki are from Kyuushuu...and sure enough, those seats filled with people who looked like family :D (also, quite a few younger kids o_O)

In a nod to them, perhaps, it appears the cast are doing voice overs to give the warnings for show-viewing before the show (turn off your cellphones, etc.), and today it was Eiji XDDDD He was quite hilarious at it~

[from here down, I'll include a full song list with notes so...be prepared to be spoiled XD]

1) Dark of the Bleeding Moon

Yup, we start off with a bang -- literally, there were EXPLOSIONS to get the show started XD Full cast singing an old favorite, with some short quick reenactments of key scenes, including a suuuuper hot little Tuti/Nagayan fight scene :DDDDDDD They got, erm, up close and personal :D DO LIKE.

2) Hona Sainara

You read that right: it's the SECOND SONG. Ichigo complains that that kitsune yarou always gets to sing his special song at the end and take all the credit, and yes he IS jealous of that, so he should have to sing it first...so of course it becomes a full cast song (*pouts* I wanted to hear Tuti sing it solo again...) complete with, of all things, A CHORUS LINE. The whole cast gets in line to do high kicks, it was made of awesome.

3) Yuzurenai Mono

The penlight song! Complete with taiin in the aisles~! Unfortunately, hubby was nowhere near us--we had Kuri on one side and That Other Taiin member on the other XD

4) Kawaranai Kimochi

With Miki's part sung by...Eiji o_O The theme this time appeared to be, "Let's have people sing different parts!" to...good and bad results XD; Best part of this song, though, was hands down: NAGAYAN SHOWBOATING LIKE HE OWNED THE RIGHTS TO THE RIVER, IDEK. I remember back in the early performances of this song, Tuti would get a little liberal with his part at afurete~, but holy shit Nagayan grabbed the reins and took off into the rafters with showboating during that part XD TWICE XDDDDDD He's a little shinigami Aretha.

5) [NEW SONG] Jazzy duet between Yoruichi and Byakuya, complete with discoballs and awesome XD

6) Josei Shinigami Kyoukai

7) Dansei Shinigami Kyoukai

...Yes, you read that correctly. Now, who made up this league of extraordinary gentlemen? In order: Hitsugaya, Izuru, Zaraki, Ichigo, Ikkaku, Hisagi, and Renji XD

Their uniforms: THE BEST THING EVER--black hakama, taped abdomens, bare chests, black haori draped over their shoulders, and dark sunglasses. YES, MOST OF THE MALE CAST WERE OUT ON STAGE HALF NAKED. And singing this really hot enka-ish old style song that sounded like something fishermen in the 1800s would sing XDDDDD The song was really short, though, as they were interrupted in their errant display of masculinity by pimp!Kope who had all the wimmins to himself XD

8) Tsumetai Ame (can't remember if this is the name, one of the older Ichigo solos)

9) Semai Sora

Miki, as usual, was amazing singing, guh. If anything, she's gotten better *______*

10) Te wo Tsunagou (again, not sure on the name -- an Ichigo and Rukia duet from earlier shows)

11) [NEW] Zaraki solo, this led into the scene Kubo wrote just for the musical, which involved Zaraki in the hospital having a talk with Unohana about pain. Probably fascinating if you're a fan :D

[USO CONTEST]

This looks like it'll be the daily ad-libbing corner. Tuti comes out, mentioning that back at Film Fes, a few cast members had expressed a desire to recreate Gin's ".....Uso...!" scene with Rukia themselves, and he was more than happy to oblige. He first gave an example of a proper uso (after NagaHitsu demanded one *loves pissy Nagayan*), by having Kope come assist, with Tuti telling a random lie, then leaning in reeeeeeaaaaaaally closely (*prays to god it changes every time*) and doing his uso. He then chose a random other cast member, and had them choose their partner, and then they had to reenact their own version of an uso scene. After three or four rounds he chose a winner. The contestants today were:

--Hitsugaya and Momo
--Ichigo and Rukia
--Zaraki and Hisagi

The winner in the end was Momo (who'd pretended she hurt her hand after patting Hitsugaya on the head [spiky hair and all XD], then delivering a stellar uso), and she was invited to give an acceptance speech.

...but that's not all she got.

TUTI, TELL HER WHAT SHE'S WON: "Since Hinamori-chan won the uso contest...she gets to help us out in the next song, as we're missing a participant."

12) Catharsis of Eternity (in new Hueco Mundo outfits, no less :D)

...which was kind of weird, really, having Hinamori singing Aizen's part XD;;;; At the end, a voice over of Aizen came on saying he was actually satisfied with Hinamori's performance, and so wasn't angry she'd sung it. The first part seemed pretty generic, like it could've been addressed to anyone (and thus used every time for the adlibbing scenes), but towards the end it seemed to get personal...so I'm wondering how it's going to go? Won't know til I see another, or hear another report :(

13) [NEW] Duet with Hitsugaya and Renji

It's supposed to be about their old friendships with people (Renji--> Rukia, Hitsugaya-->Hinamori, I suppose?) and while it was nice...ngh, Nagayan and Eiji :PPPPPP

14) Taiin song (Dareka Oshiete) - ah yes, their old standby XD

Dareka oshiete kure, ore-tachi wa ittai doushite konna koto yarasareteru ndarou...soshite yappari nanbantai nandarou...?

15) Fukutaichou song (forgot the name... XD)

16) Mou Hitotsu no Chijou

Yes, they manage to do it without Aizen or Rangiku...and add in Yoruichi as a singer and Ichigo...as backup dancer XDDDDD They skipped around a bit in the ordering, to make everything stream better I suppose, and Yoruichi's kickass verse came after Ikkaku and before Soi Fong. And of course, they came down from the rear entrances :D Nagayan was at the front on the left, and Tuti was somewhere on the right I couldn't see.

Also, there were LIT TORCHES on stage @___@

17) Song for You

MIKI. GUH. Is there anything you aren't amazing at?? *checks* nope.

18) Where is my Body?

19) Yureru Soul Society

20) BLEACH

[ENCORE]

21) Bleach Soul Shout

With all the audience singing along, and of course: EVERYONE IN THE AISLES! AND WITH NEW LYRICS! By us, we had Ikkaku and Hanatarou at one point...and then Byakuya and Rukia! How nice~

...Until SOME DO-S PERSON DECIDED TO WADDLE HIS BIG-FOREHEADED ASS OVER IN FRONT OF OUR GAIJIN CONTINGENT AND FREAK US THE HELL OUT BY LEANING OVER THE RAILING AT US. (SERIOUSLY, MAN. I love you, but you frighten the fuck out of me, go be hot elsewhere D:)

...And that was it ;____; There was some exploding confetti/streamers to be had, as well, so be sharp when you attend!

Gaaaah I want to go see it again ♥

I have to reiterate the stuff about Miki -- her singing is amazing. Also, for the song with Nagayan and MoriEiji....for me, I was just so overwhelmed at hearing Nagayan sing live that I wasn't even really thinking about the other person in the song. Gah. Nagayan. I have got to go to one of his actual lives one day.

And ahahaha Tuti ♥ At least he stopped a few seats away to lean over the rail? :DDDD

Also what about Tuti and guitar, is Gin playing on stage? uhh that sounds weird...

Ahem... Burimyu, right, not Tenimyu.

Tuti is amazingly hot. o.o

Since I don't really follow Burimyu, I can't say anything about the show but it sounds like you had lots of fun which is always nice.

I highly doubt I can hold off reading your reports until seeing the musical myself... 23 days is far too long to wait, ya know? But I'm holding off for now... until I have more time to sit, read and enjoy, but the pamphlet and photo sets..... guh! And am I the only one that thinks the pic of Nagayan with the camera... he looks a bit manly... or something? I think his torso actually looks... manly... Dear God.

And I am totally for Tuti dueting with Nagayan in some way shape or form. I've been saying that for a while now, haven't I? Now they just have to MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!! I love this idea though (actually not idea, REALITY) of them at their photo shoot singing along to god only knows what. :D

We need more fic stat!

Haha XD I was totally going to compliment you on your self-control, too! XDD

I was really really hoping we'd get SOMETHING of them singing together in a more intimate setting (and still wondering if Bengara Koushi will make a comeback in Tokyo since Inoue will be there...!) before The End, because...man I want to hear how much better they've gotten at a duet since TeniMyu ;_;

OHMYGOD TUTI. I'D COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. SO HOT. (Of course we need to point out the yellow and pink streaks of light there...)

Re: Nagayan's pamphlet shot, SOMEONE NEEDS TO BURN THAT STUPID BOWTIE, TOO.

And again, OH.MY.GOD. TSUCHIYA YUUICHI.

Wait, Sainara as the second song WHAT.

Keeeee, KURI ♥ *cough* Moving on.

Yoruichi and Byakuya duet, FUCK YES, IT'S ABOUT TIME.

"Older Ichigo solo"... Not the Furitomenu Ame from NCitBH then, I take it. Hm. *wonders*

OHMYGOD WHAT. KUMIKO-CHAN SINGING CATHARSIS. OH HELL YES. I HOPE IT GETS PUT IN SOME FORM ON THE DVD.

Fukutaichou song is HIGH RISK NO RETURN.

Oh hell, Yoruichi in the song too, I was wondering if they'd ever do that. :D!

go be hot elsewhere

This sounds like a kickass show, but that's only to be expected. I can't wait to see it when it comes out!
