ALTAR BOYZ! (part II)
sorry... Part I ( HERE) was so long. it was the only way i know how to write it *dies*. i'll try to minimize...
PART II
(some terms may need correction)
Each flashback scene (nikki) was introduced by the Narrator, seemingly on the point of view of each of the boys(?) on the order of being "recruited" into the boyband. It started with a young altar boy Matthew (complete with sticharion) sitting on a corner trying to write a song on a piece of paper. young altar boy Mark with a sacramental bell passes by and goes ♥♥♥ on seeing Matthew. He asks what Matthew is doing and sits by him, and Matthew explains he is writing a song for "a very special person". Mark looks away and goes ♥♥♥ again [ thinking it was for him XDDDD ], and asks to look at the unfinished draft. Mark was impressed, and they freeze into this toothpaste commercial smile pose at the audience XDDD as Narrator introduces the next nikki (Mark's).
some kinda seductive music plays, and Matthew suddenly flips his head to give a weird look at Mark. Mark was startled, and even more when Matthew suddenly proceeds to crawl on top of him XDDDDD. (Of course audience went crazy XDDDD). Mark looks away like some kind of virgin XD with hands still clasped against his chest (like the only barrier between him at Matthew) and "pleads" at Matthew to "stop♥~~". Though in reality Matthew is just going, "what's that on your face??"(?), and continues talking, with Mark following his head movements with his [like angling for a kiss, maybe XDDD?]. Masa and Higashiyama ups the fanservice with H-san pressing even further down against Masa, and Masa saying something like "don't stop♥~~~"(?) when it was already too near for comfortXDDDD. And their faces seem to be even closer (than earlier where it was Masa and Shinji XDDD) at the part where H-san is talking right at Masa's face, and Masa following head movements or going to the opposite side (for even closer kiss angling alasdkfdskfkldshf ldskjk XDDD). They lingered at that scene practically XDD (with H-san trying to pull up and away like, "wait wait let up" but just goes back right down against Masa XDD. And Masa at one point unclasps his hands between them and then slides his arms around H-san's waist like relenting alskdjfldsjfldsjflXDDDD;;;. Audience goes even crazier ahahaha XDDD).
Matthew then stands, and Mark stands as well and begins to pester Matthew for whom the song really is for. Which Matthew answered promptly, "Jesus Christ =D!" and Mark just goes into this extreme blown-away shell-shocked expression with that "DONNN~~~" sound effect ahahaXDD. Then he slumps and slumps even further, but goes back right up to give the toothpaste smile with Matthew at the introduction of the next nikki.
Luke's nikki, also an altar boy, was just of him passing by and being caught by Matthew and Mark with headphones on and eating the host/sacramental bread from the sacramental chalice (like he was just eating peanuts XDDD). Upon being caught he just says "Hi!" each to Matthew and Mark, and them still shocked at the sight just says "Hi!" as well, and they freeze into the toothpast smile again as Juan's nikki was introduced.
Juan comes in donned with some Mexican shawl and the usual Latino music (like for bullfighting XDDD). And holding something on one hand that looks suspiciously like takoyaki (which Luke is eyeing hungrily the whole time XDDD). He introduces himself, and that he comes from Mexico(?)/Spain(?) and has relocated to Osaka [thus the name, and the whole Kansai-ben Go employed throughout the play, which Aya thinks is like making up for the supposed Latino accent/image actor that is in the original Altar Boyz stage]. But he is depressed because he misses his Papa and Mama so much. To cheer him up Mark and Matthew tells him they are making a song, to appeal to his Latino nature, and shows him the paper. Which Juan immediately cheers up and they freeze to the toothpaste smile again for the next nikki.
Abraham comes out like a nerd who is looking for directions, wearing glasses and holding up a paper. Upon seeing the boys he tells them they look odd (wearing sticharion and Juan wearing his shawl), and they tell him he looks odd as well(?). He is apparently Jewish, as he begins asking what they are holding, like the sacramental chalice and the bell, and proceeds to handle those items differently which the boys immediately stop him from doing. At this Abraham runs to the corner crying, feeling really alienated. The boys are at a loss at how to comfort the stranger, then one suddenly mentions they are writing a song. At that Abraham perks up and asks to see the song. Matthew hands it over begrudgingly, and Abraham scans it over then proceeds to write the rest of it. Upon looking at the finished song the boys were really impressed. Abraham keeps the paper and asks to join the group, and asks for a sticharion as well to be really in the group. Which the others (specially Mark) silently protests at because he's Jewish.
Abraham dressed now in a sticharion begins with some monologue, and suddenly GOD with his thunder and lightning speaks up and the boys scatter and cower in fear. Abraham keeps addressing Him unscared, and GOD keeps thundering at them until they finally retrieved sunglasses to look up at Him. (Mark somehow makes his way towards Matthew cowering in the corner as GOD thunders at them, and more clinging ensues, i.e., Mark draping himself over Abraham but immediately apologizing as Matthew looks at him "what the hell are you doing, man" ahaha. Masa takes this even further by lying his head across H-san's lap while H-san just goes @__@;;?, and there's also this point as they cower back again Masa accidentally knocks H-san out ahaha, and he had to do some mock heart-pump CPR until H-san "revived" XDDD)
GOD then kind of tells them to go forth and make music as a group (and gives them their band behind them too XDDD, who they bow at in greeting), which they accept. And GOD disappears and rain falls (via sound effects and lighting only). They begin singing the ballad The Calling (?) (which I dub as "the keitai song" --- one of my favorites ^___^) --- wherein some keitai suddenly descends from above and they take it and do some vibration movements along some parts of the song XD. It is also where the cast sings some high parts again individually, and the song also says that one can contact God anytime and anywhere, with lines like "call me, text me, e-mail me more", something like that --- really inspirational.
After that it goes back to normal time. [I don't really remember the sequence from hereon >.<;;;]They "Soul Sensor~~~" again and numbers go down further. Some of the boys then start addressing the audience, "Who is still not converted??" The guy that was sitting in front of me on the 19th was the one constantly being picked on ahaha^^;; (as he's the only guy there, and on front row). Roma points at an audience member and addresses her, at one point signalling "call me" XD just like a self-assured boy band member). They talk a little more, and gets weirded out by Mark XDD (Masa went seiyuu on this point). They reintroduce themselves and their specialty (Masa, of course, is the dance master XDD). They stop at Luke, not knowing his specialty. Luke almost goes hot-headed again, until they randomly suggested something which Luke accepts (but not really knows? XD).
Apparently though Luke's specialty is rapping ("Give me a piece of that Miracle Funk!"(?) The Miracle Song?), and Juan provides the beatbox. It was the members rapping/replying on the first part of the song (Masa kinds of goes seiyuu again at a part here, and wow, how Roma bootyshakes XDDD, and he speaks perfect unaccented English too.) Then at the end the song turns into a fast gospel-like sound, and Roma hits the most awesome highest note-play at the part in the end where he sings "That's what I'm talking about~~" as DX-12 counters down to a much lower number.
They sing another number, this time Abraham leading... with sheep hand puppets. (the Everybody Fits? song?) Abraham's puppet is black, while the others are white. It was a fun Sesame-street kind of song. [I don't remember much, but i think they did DX-12 again, and it went to a much lower number. and the guys rejoiced, particularly either Masa or Roma as they kept repeating the number even after the rest of the boys tried to calm them down XDDD]
After that they sing "Confession Session!" in the tune of a TV game show XDDD, and some of the boyz pull to center stage that black box with the cross from outside. They place the sheep puppets under its cart. Apparently this was a dropbox for the gray "What do you want to confess?" notecards, written on by the audience. It was really a moment of humorous spontaniety for the guys, where they pick a notecard and read it to the audience and do some religious-related advise XDD (or not XDD, as in one case wherein Roma was just made to smile kirakira with drumroll). Masa did some side-commenting on the 19 (on a certain note which seemed to address Go(?)) and read a note on the 22. Basically just them fooling around, amongst themselves even XDD. TV- game show tune would play after every notecard.
After 2-3(?) notecards Matthew then goes center stage, addressing the "confessors" for a while before admitting that he has his own confession about a certain girl he likes. The rest of the boys then takes out tall chairs and sits on them (think the Backstreet Boys on "Ten Thousand Promises" in this part XDDD). He sings this as a ballad, with the boys humming along (Something About You) --- as in really really likes to the sexual point, but because he respects her that much and his faith he has to constantly keep himself in check (as in doing certain "I'm trying to stop myself" motions with his hand and crotch XD).
This is also the part where he picks one girl from the audience [ they were both from the right side of the audience on both dates ]. The song may have been really embarrassing as the girls stalled him a little but he managed to pull her out and made her sit on his supposed chair at the center. (And from here either Mark was glaring at the girl or hinting at the girl to go back with a menacing smile XDDD). At the middle part of the song he asks the girl's name and directly addresses her, like an awkward school boy, reiterating these feelings, and circles her at the chair as he sings.. Near the end of the song he goes off to the right side of the stage to sing some more, and Mark slowly gets out of his chair and sings towards Matthew as if the song was actually for him XDDD or goes in front of the girl to block her from Matthew's sight. When Matthew turns to address the girl again he finds Mark right in front of him or covering the girl, and either he shoos or pushes him away XDD (poor Mark^^;;; --- he looks really dejected and couldn't believe it XD), then sits at the side of the foot of the girl at the end of the song.
Back to normal show mode, and Matthew rewards the girl by giving her the Altar Boyz towel which he also wiped his face on (boyband times XDD) with extra wipe under his shirt. He makes the audience clap for the girl, and Mark like a gentleman leads the girl back to her place as the rest of the Boyz talk on stage and do DX-12 again --- but promptly sneak-snatches the towel and breathes in Matthew's scent deeply like one so in love ahaha (Masa aside from sniffing on it rubs it in between his legs though XDD). The DX-12 went up one number (i think from 40 it went up to 41) and the Boyz were like, "what happened??" They immediately trace Mark as the culprit for one soul back to being unconverted, and demand him to return whatever it is he could have taken. Mark throws back the towel angrily at the girl ahaha XD. DX-12 runs again and is back to the original number, and Mark goes into a dramatic fit at the corner who Juan and Abraham immediately comforts. Matthew is just like oblivious as he goes over at Mark's and demands what happened, but Abraham ushers him away XDD.
They sing Body, Mind, and Soul(?) after, which is like a gospel-like pop song, until it goes to the middle where they make the audience stand up and say "Yeah!" everytime Roma says "Are you ready to go to work???" [in perfect English]. Really fun time XD.
After this... it goes dramatic! ( Part III --->)
