And after Another, the schedule for Playzone 2013 is finally out \(*^o^*)/
According to
this mail fanclub members (I think?) got, Playzone 2013, the 28th since the first one in 1986, will be the penultimate one performed at Aoyama Theatre because the venue will be shut down by the end of March 2015, apparently for safety reasons. I wonder if they will relocate the show to a different place after that or if Playzone 2014 will be the last one...
Anyway, it's way too soon to start thinking about that so back to 2013! This year's title is SONG&DANC'N Part 3 and I'm perfectly ok with this because I prefer good songs with funny skits between (4U ♥). I wouldn't mind if they decide to include a storyline though. It would be great to see something different and I liked Playzone 2009 and 2010 stories, even if some parts of the 2010 one with the deserted island were a bit WTF X)
For now, the show is scheduled from July 3rd to August 10th and, as always with Johnny's, it is subject to change. No performances on August 2nd and 7th. I've always wanted to attend a show on the last day (because I want to see the boys crying on stage and I want to cry with them >8] ) but if it's not available on J-int just like last year, I think I'll chose August 8th or 9th...
Then we have the cast. It's exactly the same as last year, minus Sato Atsuhiro, which means members are Tsubasa (who currently has SHORT BLONDE HAIR D: ), Yûma, Yara, They Budou, MAD and Travis Japan. Differences are that Yûya has left a few months ago so MAD will be only Kôta and Yû and what I dreaded has come true: Miya has been removed from Travis Japan so they will be 8 instead of 9.
And that's when I hate being a Junior fan. Because as unfair as it sounds, it's not actually. It's just the Junior rule. When it comes to Junior, we can't take things for granted, anything can happen and we know it. But well, I won't lie: yes I'm disappointed. Or more than disappointed, I'm really sad for him. I still clearly remember how he looked when he was standing in front of us with teary eyes last year, saying how he had loved doing that show, how he loved his senpai and staff members who took care of him, how he was greatful to all of them and how he hoped he could be part of Playzone's cast along with these members again...
Now we know it won't happen but well, at least he had the chance to participate in that show once. And I'm glad I had the opportunity to see him shining on stage ♥
