I'm judging you.

sfhskdjbsdjkf Saitou and Rui are STILL SO MUCH LOVE.

Noumin went to an event thing in Osaka on the 20th that Saitou, Rui, and Aiba attended to pimp their Best Actors CDs, and wrote up a little report here. Some highlights included:

[When asked about their thoughts on the upcoming Tenimyu performances in Nagoya]

★Saitou: (Noumin didn't quite remember but it was something to the effect of not being able to go immediately to Nagoya because of work), and then Rui told him, "Aww, that's no fair!" and Saitou responded, "Don't worry, I'll bring you back a souvenir <3"

★Aoyagi-kun: "I wanna go back to Tokyo~"
Saitou-san said, "Come on, you can't say that..." then comforted him with, "...but, well, this run's been long. I'll bet you're homesick <3"

[Another time they were asked what other characters they would have liked to play]

★Aiba-kun, "Kikumaru. Everything always goes his way. And he's really free-spirited. I wanna be free-spirited too. *strikes the pose with his hand cupping his own chin* Fuji's always like this, it's not really free!"
Aoyagi-kun: "Gakuto's free too!!☆"

[And then Saitou and the Vest Incident]

◆Ruito alerted Saitou to the fact that he'd worn his vest on inside out!!

From beside him, Aoyagi-kun randomly started to just staaaaaare at Saitou-san when he was answering a question, and when he noticed this he said, "Ruito--don't stare at me like that, it makes me feel awkward!" [T/N: The verb for awkward he used, "tereru," is usually associated with shy, blushing feelings of awkwardness :D]

Then Aoyagi-kun kind of beckoned him closer, and they shared a secret chat, while all around them everyone was going, "Eh? Eh? What's going on?" and Saitou turned and laughed, revealing, "Apparently I've worn my clothes on inside out!"☆

Aiba-kun then suggested, "Live-change! Live-change!" and with his arms spread wide, he hid Saitou-san, while behind him Saitou quickly changed his clothes around.

Then Saitou-san smiled and said to Aoyagi-kun, "Good job noticing that, Ruito~"

Also, Noumin gave us more thoughts on RokkakuMyu, which I've selected this little excerpt from:

★Third generation Golden Pair:

This time the Golden Pair didn't really have any chances to show themselves, but I loved how, whenever he could, the skinship-loving Setomaru would get himself entangled with Oishi (haha) When I look at these two I'm reminded of the first cast. I was quite satisfied with them. I'm really looking forward to Rikkai now!

While sifting through old Japanese Myu reports for kooriyoukai, I happened upon a few from Dream Live 1st. I thought I'd read most everything DL1st reports had to offer me--I mean, with only two shows, how much could deviate from one to the next? And we had the evening performance on DVD already, what more was there?

Something quite big, apparently...and something I'm surprised I haven't heard about before o_O I know some of the older fans who were around back during DL1st's run must have gone to see it, but I'd never even heard a whiff of this. From this DL1st report, on the 11 AM performance.

We open on the photo scene, with Oishi and his aquarium.

Oishi Photo 1 - Looking at the aquarium he's so proud of
Photo 2 - He's found something, and makes a surprised face!

Others: "What're you so surprised at? What'd you find?"

Oishi: "Iya...I had found a little Tezuka."

Others: "Wha--a little Tezuka? So then, what happened?"

Photo 3 - *kissy face*

Others: "Why are you making a kissy face?!"

Oishi: "............." [is tapped on the shoulder by Buchou who'd been standing next to him]

*flails wildly* THERE WAS TEZUOISHI FANSERVICE IN THE BEST GP FANSERVICE MYU OF ALL? SAY IT AIN'T SO! ;_______; Okay, okay *deep breath* Ueshima obviously realized his error and didn't subject us to the filth (sorry TezuOishi shippers XD;;;;) for the DVD, so I can kind of sort of overlook it but WHY?

No, seriously, WHY?! o____o all the myus have been about GP fanservice (with a little Dream Pair on the side that I can overlook because skefuhw9r4fsdfl Nagayan and Kime were kind of sort of hot together), and EVERYTHING else seems to have been the same, including Eiji's picture corner with the parfaits and the "teeheez" moments and Oishi looking away, so WHY?

Oh Ueshima you CHEAP SELLOUT. You thought you could just put in all kinds of fanservice and EVERYONE would be happy? SCREW YOU. He KNEW which pairing the audience preferred, I mean, he'd had two--no, THREE musicals already to see that! So why cheapen it to make a few TezuOishi shippers happy? If I had been him, no matter my pairing preference, I think I would've gone for the one most of the fans preferred :/ Or was he testing the waters? To see if people didn't prefer that one over one of THE MOST CANON PAIRINGS IN THE FANDOM.

GEE I DUNNO.

And, see, that makes me think, too, how the actors themselves felt about it. I mean, Tuti's characters tend to mean a lot to him, and it's stupid to think that these guys didn't know about the pairings their characters were involved in. So if it's been pretty well established thus far that your character was going to be slashed with another in these musicals, and suddenly you're thrown this curveball, wouldn't that mean something to you?

Sometimes I think I look too much into stuff and I'm not the only one who does it XD;;;; but discussing stuff like this with my friends is a lot of fun, trying to get into the guys' minds and thought proccesses based on what we know so far. And looking at this, knowing how Tuti relates to his roles at times, I can't help but think he must've felt SOMETHING about such a random bit of fanservice thrown in.

Gah, I'm gonna go read some MTL reports to wash this image from my mind -_-;;;;

On another random note, someone PLEASE tell me what pairing "CP" stands for! IT'S BUGGING THE MESS OUT OF ME. It's a Seigaku pair, and not TakaFuji, MomoRyo, or InuKai. I found it a couple of times in these reports but can't tell from context what pairing it is XD;;;;

I had a nice emo post I was gonna make, but then kooriyoukai distracted me with old TeniMyu blog surfing, so instead I bring you GOODNESS FROM AUGUST 2003!!

( Oh...ohhohohohoho...oh HOHOHOHO TUTI AND NAGAYAN... )
