18 February 2010 Endless Shock (Complete)
I'm totally obsessed with two of Playzone09 songs. One is that love song Uchi and Fujigaya say together, the "subete no yoru ga" one. The other...I don't know the name but they were singing about returning where they started, right after Miyata goes off saying "If you don't love, you won't be loved. If you can't trust, no one will trust you" kind of stuff. I should go find and download it, seriously. So catchy.
"Hagureta bashooo ee to kaereruuuu~"*sings* Ah anyway, here's the SHOCK report. ♥ Enjoy!
Act 1
Opening is the same SHOCK medley like last year.
When I see "Continue (Opening Ver." I already feel like crying.
It's MA you know!! The dance that's exactly fitting. It was really cool.
Machida-kun's hairdo, was just like how he said it was in his blog.
This year's Yara-kun's acting is extremely natural.
The way he speaks, his facial expressions, all of them seem like he became YARA naturally when he went up on that stage.
Even though it's his lines when he listens to the other person and replies, I thought all his words came out really naturally.
Congratulations of the final day song became "Yes My Dream" insteas of "Yes We Can !"
How nice~ We could feel the warm atmosphere of the company.
Yara-kun's "I'm the best~" , I wanted to reply "Yes!" from my heart.(laugh) He really is the best.
Yara-kun who stood on the stand was very cute this year too!
Than "nyanyan"(t/n: cat meow), he was more like "tsuntsun" (aloof) at Rika's side. Seeing that Rika too became aloof.
They both were very cute--!!
After the phrase where he talked about the ring he was going to give to Rika
But it was first Rika who says "There's something I want to give to you..."
Yara-kun who looked slightly happy when saying "Eh!?" was too cute..
Even though it was the mop which Rika ended up giving him (laugh).
That exchange is the best (laugh)
Rika-chan is strong! YARA is cute~!
It's like that..This year too Rika is cold to YARA.
The scene which they run away from Owner was funny this year as well.
The rooftop scene, Uekusa-san and Machida-kun were really funny.Why were they so funny!?
The scene where Koichi suggests going somewhere;
Machida who said "West Side is fundamental, isn't it?"twice (laugh) It was too funny.
Uekusa-san who checked Yara-kun, started to pull Yara-kun's clothes.
Yara-kun was desperately struggling to escape. (laugh)
The round prop which Koichi turns and pats came off. The moment it came off, both the audience and Koichi-kun had the same reaction~.
"A a...It came off!?"
He was told "Please don't take it off."
The exchange between Koichi and owner was really nice.
The feeling was that of a mischevious senpai and a reliable kohai.
As I thought, I really like Yara-kun's gentle singing "Shall we dance." at the park scene.
Before they spot Koichi, Yara and M.A.D walk by at the back. Yara is leading M.A.D while imitating a whistle.
Yonehana-kun's and Yara-kun's performances are a worth-see this year. That good coordinated acrobatics are really amazing!
I really like "America"
It's wonderfully showy and Yara-kun's lift is tender. I'm really envious of the female dancers.
Rock&Tap Scene.
Yara-kun's singing voice is the best and very cool!
But..But...!! The tap dance which I liked very much is no longer there (ToT)
I wanted to see Yara-kun's tapdance (ToT)
Rika and Owner's tap was amazing.
Rika's outfit was really cute. Pink color really suits Megumi-chan.
It was really funny to watch the father-daughter relationship in the tap dance.
Backstage Scene
About the part where Yara couldn't appear on the stage.
This time it was easy to understand why he got so angry that he couldn't go out.
Last time he said " That was my highlight scene."
But this year it changed into
"It was the highlight scene of me and you(While looking at Rika)"
That way it's easy to understand why he got so angry.
After that Yonehana and Koichi's talk had changed as well.
"Isn't the ending for the first act too depressing?" Yonehana asks Koichi.
"Since Japanesque is a happy end, it should be fine."
After hearing that, we also understand for the first time that the real ending to Japanesque was a happy ending.
(t/n: In 2008 and before Yone used to say:
"Koichi, won't you get tired if you keep on running?" That part was one of my most favourite parts of SHOCK, and really moving to me. However I'm not sure if it changed in 2009 or people aren't mentioning it just because it isn't something new. I do like the new exchange of words, but that speech holds such a strong meaning to it, I hope it didn't disappear.)
And Japanesque!
Yonehana kun and Machida-kun are lovely. Very beautiful!
Yara-kun was the coolest.
No matter how many times I've seen it, the sword fight is splendid. Cool!
But for the first time it made my heart beat fast.
Even though I seen it so many times, it made my heart beat fast.
The one-on-one fight is amazing. No one else can do that sword battle except Koichi and Yara. I had an impression that Yara's grim face appearance had decreased.
Yara's sword-fight outfit has more white fur like stuff on it this time. When Yara-kun move, the small white furs moved slightly as well.
After he provoked Koichi - Thrusting the katana - being dumbfounded - Falling from the stairs.
All of the acting of that part was magnificent!
It really was transmitted to us, feelings of the perplexed Yara-kun.
2nd Act!
Sheakspeare.
Richard's acting was really good! Richard who acts like a gentleman while hiding his powerful evil heart gave me shivers. Because it was a phrase that made me think maybe he was a really kind person, I ended up thinking that I could follow this person.
Yeah, this years Richard was extremely well!
The vehicle of Koichi's return scene had changed. Now the box has a door that can be opened.
Koichi came in singing F1s Theme Song.
While Rika was hugging him he was turning the necklace and started to talk about engines (laugh)
At that time;
Yonehana tsukkomied with "That talk, is it ok to talk about it later?"
And again another tsukkomi: "Rather than that," (laugh)
Koichi who said that the Katana part was an accident;
"I'm glaaad~"Machida who puts in all his feelings with all he has.
This part's Machida is really amusing.
"Ore, Ore, ... O, re!" (Ore means ' I ' (male))
There was a time where he said the same phrase twice.
Probably "I didn't know it was a real katana." ?
Uhh, my memory isn't clear. ^^;
As expected from Machida, he made the audience laugh !!
The dance of 4 of them using sticks.
The hat which Yonehana threw Koichi was thrown a bit far and Koichi went to pick it up.
Machida: "Koichi is the best stick!" and threw the Stick.
(T/N: Stick is written like Sutekki in Katagana. If you take out one K, it makes Suteki, which means 'Fantastic,superb, cool, great, you know what it is (laugh) So Machida is making a pun on how Koichi is the best, by calling him a stick at the same time :P )
At first it was a dance that 4 of them did but , !
At the back Yara made an entrance with white hat & white suit.
Yara too is dancing while using the stick. I was surprised because I didn't think he'd make an appearance here!
(t/n: the other report said that it seemed like this was a dance that they all did in the past, so Yara is also using it in his show- they were probably trying to portray that Yara is one of them as well. I think even by reports, it's a really moving scene.)
Because I really like this dance, I was troubled because I couldn't make up my mind on whether to watch the 4 of them or Yara-kun.
Yara's show stage
The outfit changed and he's wearing a shorter sparkly silver jacket now. This year's "Watch Me!" too was sang live!!
"Why don' t you dance with me?" Dance Battle.
The outfits are really good again.
Yara-san's dance has changed. It's really cool! I may like this year's dance the most.
Yara's Confession Scene
So that I remember this part in detail... I breathed in when Yara started to speak slowly...
He turned to Rika and
"I understand the feeling when the person you like won't look back at you."
It really was transmitted to us that Yara was comparing that feeling to his own.
I felt my heart clenching since it was so painful.
After Rika stabbed Koichi, Yara-kun's acting when they learned that it was an illusion, was again very wonderful!
Yara broke down crying saying, "I don't believe it."
Drum Scene
Since I heard that Yara-kun joined in Naoki-sans and Koichi-kun's drum scene, I was really anticipating it.
After Koichi's largedrum-scene ended, Yara appeared holding a white cap. And then suddenly...They faced each other and sang!!
It was really cool!!!
I didn't get what they said at all, but it was cool!
(t/n: It said the same in the other report too, that it could have been or not English or Japanese or maybe one of them was singing English and the other Japanese. Since it didn't help me at all I skipped translating that part in the previous report but I guess it was English since no one got it at all...)
After the song ends it's Koichi versus Yara.
Yara-kun who got in the perfect drum scene must have been really tough. I could understand the toughness of that scene when the drum scene ended and Koichi and Yara shook hands with smiling faces...
But that handshake with a smile...
It indicates that Koichi and Yara's relation has completely rmended, that's how I felt after that.
(t/n: she means that in that scene Koichi forgave Yara and vice-versa probably. That's another good point. I can't wait to see this year's shock.)
Yara-kun really, really, really has gave in his best!I was really moved how much work he put into this even though I was just watching from afar.
It was so amazing that I thought I'm really glad to be a fan of this person, many times.
Koichi-kun's flying to the 2nd floor.
It was the first time I saw him up so close, I was really moved!
I was screaming inside thinking He really came! (laugh)
The new flying scene with umbrellas. It was cool! It was beautiful! ...More than that, it was cute ♥
It was really cute to see Koichi-kun flying with a small umbrella. My sister who was watching it with me said "That flying with umbrellas was cute"...It really was cute!
So after Yoru no umi it was CONTINUE. I don't really remember since I was crying so much (laugh). Since it was the first time I saw shock from 2nd floors center, it was different from until now.
Even after the curtain closed, I couldn't stop crying...
The hard work everyone in the company had made, was really really amazing. Thank you very much.
////
Well, how was this one? (laugh) It was quite Yara-biased, but much easier to follow. I translated this from 1st hand than reporting the report this time so it was easier to put in my own thoughts as well. Hope you enjoyed it. See you in another report.
