sairui goodness YES.
Let's start this day off right--SAITOU/RUITO GOODNESS FROM OLD MYU INTERVIEWS:
Hyoutei Summer Interview [Kawakubo + Saitou + Ruito]
Saitou: "But, really, and the rest of the Hyoutei team is in agreement here, that during auditions the person who left the greatest impression as Gakuto's actor was Ruito here."
Kawakubo: "Ooh!"
Saitou: "I saw him during auditions and thought, 'He really is Gakuto!' and when I talked to the rest of the cast members about it, they thought the same thing. I was casting people in my own head during auditions, and it wound up being exactly that! It's like, 'Wow, so I decided it huh...' (haha) Sorry..."
Hyoutei Winter Interview [Araki + Kujirai + Saitou + Ruito]
――Aoyagi-kun, what was your first impression of Seigaku?
Ruito: "................"
Saitou: "So, what Ruito meant was...." (everyone laughs) "Umm, it was Dream Live--that was the first performance we saw."
Ruito: "I saw Yamabuki...."
Saitou: "Like I said, it was Yamabuki."
All: (haha)
Saitou: "At that time, Ruito really felt the power of Seigaku....right?"
Ruito: "................"
Saitou: "Right, so then..."
Ruito: "................"
Saitou: "Ruito felt that he didn't want to lose...to that power....right?"
Ruito: "................"
Saitou: "...Say something!" (everyone laughs)
Araki: "Eh, it's fine~ you're helping him out. It's important to have that kind of trusting relationship in a doubles combination! (haha)"
Saitou: "Right. But your (Araki + Kujirai) doubles combo is a lot like ours, I think. Well, we both lose our matches, and all, but I'm not just talking about our roles--we keep each other calm, and thinking objectively."
All: "Aah..."
Araki: "That's true. We four are like that huh. The take-charge type (haha)"
Saitou: "But everyone else sees that too, and gives advice, and we really pay attention to that advice. We're a cool-down team."
Ending Comments [Hyoutei in Winter]
Saitou: "More than anything else, more than the summer performance even, what I feel was most amplified this time was the 'sense of unity.'
I really feel like the cast, staff, and audience were able to become one.
And I really sensed that Ruito and I were able to become a true doubles team. Rui, thank you!!
This was a magical musical that boosted everyone involved in TeniMyu up another level. As an actor and as a person, I'm really glad I got to be involved in TeniMyu.
We might never be together as a full team again, but I feel that being together with them all I've managed to leave behind something.
As we all leave behind our individual footprints, let's keep on going even further, and meet again some day!!"
