Yanagi Stage Report - Apocalypsis of Redon

Aug 25, 2008 08:03

I attended the first performance of Yanagi's new stage, "Apocalypsis of Redon" on Wednesday night in Tokyo. The stage was presented at the New National Theatre at Hatsudai. That's a prestigious venue, and the National Opera is located in the same complex.

Oh, you didn't get my message? What an absolute bugger! I commented under your comment and then deleted it in the hope that you were getting LJ notifications.

The play was fabulous. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back to Japan, maybe Christmas, maybe not until next year. Keep an eye on the comm, though, because I'm going to try and post regularly about what Yanagi's doing.

Our broken conversation included us agreeing that Yanagi was very kawaii, that I was a stalker and that the play had been sugoi. ^_^
Your Japenglish is so cute xDD

I want a huge version of that poster on my wall! ;____;

I picked up two gorgeous posters that I'm going to laminate and then stick on my wall. Um, after I take some stuff down! I'm running out of room!

Your Japenglish is so cute xDD
Hee! The consensus seemed to be that my Japranese is very much like English and the only thing that makes it semi-intelligible are the wild hand gestures! *headdesks*

Your walls will be very happy!

Hand gestures make communication more fun. ;D

Well thank you for the review but I'm not exactly sure of how much I understood now because I thought I understood it well but it was a little bit different ( ... )

Oh, I'm so glad to hear from you! You see, my Japanese is almost non-existent so I can't identify that level of nuance, beyond seeing them using the book. I've unpacked now and pulled my Story and Photo Book out, and fixed the title error. Apparently, the title is Apocalypsis of Redon, according to those, so we'll go with the third time lucky option! ^_^

Thank you so much for adding to this and setting me straight. ♥ It really was a brilliant performance and I enjoyed it so much. I'm so glad you did too!

It really was fabulous! I ordered the DVD on the night; I found a lovely person to help me fill in the form because I couldn't make heads or tails of it, and put down Youngest Son's mailing address. I should probably tell him at some point. :D Once it gets here, I'll rip and upload it because it was just brilliant!

Oh Nerf, you totally are a stalker. THE MOST AWESOME STALKER EVER. <3 Kudos for having the guts to do stuff the rest of us wish we could do! *___*

Hahahahahahahaha! I am resigned to Yanagi thinking that I'm a total fruitcake and am waiting for the point where he runs away screaming when he catches sight of my pink hair. ^_^ It was such a wonderful play and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next!
