I'm judging you.

*points out unnecessarily that Wasshi (and Daiki and Tecchan it seems??) went to see a play of Mizuki's last night~*

Ok sure there were quite a few other people they knew in it too XD (Naru, Ishikura-san, and Yuzawa will be in the Nagoya shows. Also Takagi Shun was in it, but they don't know him probably XD Except maybe Daiki from sneaking backstage at TeniMyu)

I'll take what I can get though :3

People in Japan! Or people with internet access and a decent grasp of Japanese! HELP!

At 1 PM this Saturday (11PM Central US time on Friday) I'll be juuuuust settling down to watch the Kuroshitsuji Musical. Unfortunately, at that exact same time, tickets will go on sale for this--Aniki, Naru, AND Yuzawa? OH FUCK YES.

I've already got an account on the Confetti website, and could give you all the necessary info, I just need someone to actually get me the tickets ^^; Just reserve them, whatever needs to be done. We can discuss the specifics if you can do this for me, but someone pleeaaaaase help? ;___;

It's Friday, WOOHOO! And it's the Friday before what's looking to be a great weekend ♥

Tonight I will, unfortunately, probably miss most of the Nagayan show from Thailand. But in turn this means I'll be going to Globe Theater in Shin-Okubo with lizstarsky to see Abe and Aniki's (Sano Mizuki) new show, Applause. We've got decent seats, I think, so it should be interesting since I not only know NOTHING about this show, it's my first time seeing Abe perform (and while I've seen Mizuki tons of times, I've only seen him act once, in Samurai Mode)

Tomorrow hughes_maes and I are meeting at Shibuya station far too early in the morning so I can harrass Tenchou for more Blossam stuff, then we're heading off to NHK Hall to see Kitty Guys do a street live, after which we'll go BACK to Gain to pick up the shirts which are not for sale until 11 AM XD

Then, I dunno, we'll probably have lunch and watch *pnish* til we croak 8D GOOD WEEKEND!

I never thought I could ever go to a *pnish* show and come out of it more satisfied with the Tuti/Nagayan slant to things than the Eiji/Daiki slant. GUESS THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

Have to be back up and on the shinkansen in 4 hours, so I can't write everything, but HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF HAPPYPANI7:

--TUTI POINTING TO ME IN THE AUDIENCE AND ASKING WHERE I'D COME FROM (he asked a couple of people how far they'd come to see the show, and seeing a blonde head I think he figured he'd get a nice response :D I SHOULD'VE SAID SEPTEMBER.)
--RANDY. OH GOD RANDY SDFUSHLIFUSHDLIFUSHDLIUS
--SAIGA. OH GOD SAIGAAAAASDKFJHSNLDIUFHSDIUFHSDIUFS
--OKAMA DANCE
--HARU ICHIBAN
--SCHOOLGIRL DANCE
--LUPIN THE 3RD
--COMIC MENS SHOW (<--I don't expect anyone to understand this yet :/)
--TUTI RIDING MORIYAMA-SAN-GOU AND GOING, ".......Why the hell did he name it that?! I don't get them sometimes..."
--DAIKI IS GETTING SINGING LESSONS FROM EIJI FOR HIS UPCOMING MUSICAL. I SMELL FIC.
--TSUCHIYA YUUICHI RUNNING UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR TO SEE ALL THE GUESTS AND INTERVIEWING SOME OF THEM. OH DID I MENTION ONE OF THEM WAS HIS BOYFRIEND? NO? WELL ONE OF THEM WAS HIS BOYFRIEND.
--TUTI SPORTING THE DECOSSAM BADGE, AND POINTING IT OUT TO THE AUDIENCE.
--ANIKIIIIIIIIIII ;_____;

Lastly: a list of people we know went to the uchiage, because we saw them enter the building right across from O-East XD

Taizou Shinya (Namikiyo from Samurai Mode)
Besshi Keiichi aka Besshi
Hasegawa Tetsurou aka Tecchan
Sano Mizuki
Juri
*pnish*
Moriyama-san-gou <--Daiki rode this the 15 feet to cross the street to loud cheers XD

Other Kankeisha who showed up at the show:

Kako Lion (Gaku's "aniki" from Secret Box)
Oishi the song-writer (the Oishi guy who's in the staff all the time 8D apparently he writes most of the songs!)
BB-dan guys (more from SM)

I HAVE TO GO TO BED. THIS HAS TRULY BEEN THE BEST. DAY. YET.

ALSO, THE PHOTO YOU GOT WITH THE KINEN SET? THE ONE FROM THE HP7 FLYERS WITH EIJI AND HIS LEG ACROSS DAIKI'S CROTCH.

Scan of the *pnish* + Mizuki short article in Weekly Pia

At least everyone looks hot? XD But holy HELL had I forgotten how short Mizuki is *_____* EIJI towers over him. That's unnatural.

Also, the article insinnuates that Mizuki and Eiji are the main characters (the two deposed clan heads) who are being chased by Daiki's character...when it was already stated that Wasshi's character Shisui is one of the two clan leaders being chased. What. *confused*

...Guess I'll find out? XD

REGARDING NAGAYAN'S HAIR: Yes, he looks very very VERY HOT, but I'm 99% sure that's not a haircut. He says it's been styled into "forward hair" and nowhere does anyone mention anything about it being cut. I'm pretty sure it's just been styled to look that way, sorry guys :/

So...Sano Mizuki is a Star Wars fanboy...

...

...WHY CAN'T THERE BE ANY NORMAL MEN IN THE SANO FAMILY?!

If you haven't seen it, I posted a long history of *pnish* to pnish here. It took me a couple of hours to dig through websites and do on-the-spot translations of photobook stuff, but that's probably the most complete history in the English fandom yet _o_

It irks me, though, that that's the truth--there's no more complete history than that, and it's far from complete. Half the time there aren't even dates to apply to events, what kind of a history is that?

I've semi-joked about this to KY in the past, but I seriously want to write their biography. Some day. That will probably be 20 years in the future, but I want to. I want to be able to sit them all down, in a group and individually, and ask them all these burning questions we've got. Not, "Are you dating fellow member X???" (though of course I'm dead curious ;D) but simple questions that you'd think we'd have answers to now.

Why Daiki? Why him as Leader?
Why "*pnish*"? (GOOD GOD I WANT TO KNOW THIS. Their name sounds like some nasty sound effect.)
Who met who where and in what order?
Why this troupe, and not some other? (Like Tuti--why not stay with BQMAP?)

And loads of others, of course, but these are just the ones that hit me while I was working on this. I want a story to read, I want to be able to sit down one day and learn everything about *pnish*, from tales of Daiki's childhood to Tuti entering BQMAP to ShiroxKuro to On.5, everything.

It's so weird: I mean, I feel like the more I know about their past, the more I can learn about them now. I want to know how Tuti learned to dance, why Daiki felt he was so good he should be in charge of choreography and music selection and, well, the most important stuff to a dance troupe!

I was reading through Daiki's self-article in Panic Days 1, and he wrote that if he hadn't been Leader, if one of the others had organized everything and he'd just joined up, he'd be a really different presence inside the group. He said he'd be more outspoken, bringing up his ideas and voicing them more, not be this quiet thing that everyone looks at and wonders how the heck he got to be Leader. Now I wonder what that Daiki would be like, really.

On a related note, I was reading a review of Comic Jack that Eiji was in back in 2003 (that, surprise surprise, Sano Mizuki starred in!), and the girl going through the cast had this to say about him:

But the one who was especially wonderful was Rascal's actor, Moriyama-kun. Of course he's the sworn friend of Daiki-chan, Mizuki's younger brother, but he's really got a sense of presence, and it made me think, "Wow, this guy's amazing!" During the curtain call, Mizuki even called him "Moriyama" without any honorific or anything, it makes me wonder what their relationship really is. Well--wasn't Mizuki involved with ShiroxKuro before?

Something like this brings up so many questions lskfjhsldfkjhsliuefrlsifese ARGH. Like why the hell she would use some word like "sworn friend" (meiyuu) to describe Daiki and Eiji when even though I ship them I wouldn't realistically say they were more than decent friends Like where the heck she got this idea that Mizuki was connected to ShiroxKuro in anyway?! That'd sure explain a bit more about why Mizuki popped up out of the blue to be in Wonder Box, if he'd worked with all the guys before in any capacity, but still...
