[music| Season - Hyoutei Gakuen Cast (Dream Live III)]
Hokay people, here's what neitaro promised you. (｀ε´) Time is 20h12, at 14 October 2008.
ALL PHOTOS ARE HERE. *not a very picture-taking person*
I: Before the show
Since Dad's living in Taoyuan, we had to take the bus to Taipei, where Novel Hall (Chinatrust Building) is. It's just behind the 101 building btw. ☆彡
We arrived at around 13h00, and I pestered and whined at him until he took me to Novel Hall. (o^-')b
Saw the BIG poster of Musical Tennis no Oujisama Hyoutei feat. Higa and was only planning to take a picture of it, when I got scolded by my dad, saying "You're already here, so I'll take your picture with the poster!" So here we go. (I know, I posted this already yesterday but wth, the report wouldn't be complete without it (w＿-；)
I honestly didn't want him to take my picture. The wind was not cooperating, and my hair was flying all around. ♥ my red shoes though. (^з^)-☆Chu!!
We entered the theatre, and were greeted by Taiwanese production assistants selling Tenimyu stuff. I first bought the Higa full set + board, and then asked for the Hyoutei full set. And they said:
"Oh, so sorry, we're only selling limited stocks per day, and this afternoon it's already sold out."
I asked for the Katou Kazuki and Saitou Takumi sets, and they said:
"Those two are the first sets that sold out."
So I asked for the Aoyagi Ruito, Kamakari Kenta, and Takuya sets, and they said:
"How many would you like?"
You have no idea how relieved I felt. (｀Δ´) I said one of each, and slip in a couple of pamphlets too, please. I was talking to them in English ("What time will you start selling merchandise later for the evening show?" Answer: 17h00), my dad in Chinese ("They don't have the sets that my friends want anymoooooore T__T"), and the other assistant in Japanese ("Is the Choutaro for tonight's show the Japanese guy or the Taiwanese guy?" Answer: It's the Taiwanese guy). I asked my dad to buy the Watanabe Daisuke and Sakamoto Shougo sets for me because the guy at the booth was Taiwanese (I couldn't follow/understand Taiwanese fukien very well). First buying escapade ended with:
1. Higa full set and board
2. Takuya/Akutagawa Jiro
3. Kamakari Kenta/Shishido Ryo
4. Aoyagi Ritsuka Ruito/Mukahi Gakuto
5. Watanabe Daisuke/Tezuka Kunimitsu
6. Sakamoto Shougo/Echizen Ryoma
So, having been appeased and relieved that I won't be going home empty-handed, we went to the Mitsukoshi square/shopping center, where a lot of freebies were being given away. (I got zebra and giraffe balloons, 5 LotteTM gum packs, a bunch of plum jelly candies, 5 lollipops, and a free kiddie carousel ride, lol)
It was then I realized that:
I forgot to buy the Hirata Yuichiro and Furukawa Yuuta photosets, and either I have to bring all the stuff I got inside the theatre (and look like an idiot), or leave them with dad (who asserted his right to complain, haha). (｡＞0＜｡)
Ate at the cheapest, quickest fastfood there is within the vicinity: McDonald's! Oh yeah. The people behind the counters were all Taiwanese with no English and 'twas there I helped three French tourists exchange students order themselves some burgers. Afterwards they asked me how to get to Gueishan, because "nous sommes perdus," haha (＾＾ゞ
Went back to Novel Hall at 18h10; ooh la la, il y a déjà beaucoup de personnes...! Taiwanese fans (not all of them are girls, though most are. Quelle surprise!) So I rushed in and asked for the Katou Kazuki and Saitou Takumi photosets, and Hyoutei full set. They said:
"They're already sold out. Tomorrow, we open at 12h00, so if you could, please drop by that time, we'll surely have stocks then."
（ｉДｉ）
Second buying escapade had me with:
1: Furukawa Yuuta/Fuji Shusuke
2: Hirata Yuuichiro/Kaidou Kaoru - 2
(→o←)ゞ
While dad was waiting in line for me (to enter the theatre proper), I walked around the lobby and saw boxes for the gifts/letters you want to give to your favorite Tenimyu actor/s!!! Y⌒Y⌒Y⌒Y⌒Y⌒Y⌒(｡Ａ｡)!!!
Now I know where to dump all the stuff I got from the LotteTM festival. I put one zebra balloon in Shinotani Hijiri's box; one giraffe balloon in Kenken's box; one zebra balloon, two lollipops and three plum jelly candies in Yasuka's box; 1 lollipop and LotteTM gum pack in Katou Kazuki's box; 1 lollipop and three plum jelly candies in Saitou Takumi's box; 1 LotteTM gum pack in Furukawa Yuuta's box. ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆ I was having a hard time deciding who to give the last giraffe balloon, though. In the end, after pacing to and fro in front of the boxes, I just told the guy in the black suit (with the walkie-talkie) to give it to Ueshima-san. :|
At 18h45, they started letting people in the theatre proper. Went up the next floor via escalator (Novel Hall looks like a hotel inside), showed the usher my ticket, and let them lead me to the left side, sixth row from the front, 24th seat. On each side of the stage were black electronic boards for the Chinese subtitles. The stage's length was approximately eight meters, and I was only three meters away from the stage. *glee* The curtain was still down, but I could see some pairs of white rubbershoes doing some last-minute practice just behind the curtain. XD I wonder whose feet those are...
***
II: The SHOW!!!
Opening:
*Viking Horn and Big Bang talking about "How can Seigaku beat Hyoutei, whose Atobe beat Rikkai's Sanada??"
Ichinen trio: *eavesdrops on their conversation*
Viking Horn: *turns to trio and yells* THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU NOT TO EAVESDROP!!!
Big Bang: What are you doing here?! *scares the trio* SHAAAA!!!!
Trio: *cowers/panics*
Big Bang: *does some scary hand gestures while the trio tries to scamper away* SHAA!!! SHAAAA!!! SHAAAAAAAA!!! *to Viking Horn* Oi, you do it too.
Viking Horn: Okay. *to trio* *imitates Big Bang* SHAA!! SHAAA!! *stomps feet to scare the trio* SHAAAA!!
Both stomp around scaring the trio with SHAAA! when Big Bang turns to Viking Horn and...
Big Bang: *to Viking Horn* SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Viking Horn: *surprised and falls down* HA?!
Big Bang: *still to Viking Horn* SHAAA!!!!
Viking Horn: *points to self* SHAAA?!
Big Bang: *still to Viking Horn* SHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Viking Horn: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! *runs away*
Big Bang: *chases Viking horn to left side of stage* SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Ichinen trio: ... What was that all about??!
***
Start:
*Hyoutei members are spotlighted one by one, while saying their famous lines. Ex: Shishido: Gekidasa da ze! Hiyoshi was the last to say his line, and when he said "Gekokujou da" his mic still wasn't turned on, so only us in front heard him, haha.
Opening song I think is "Strong Enough to Fight" (that's the chorus' lyrics... *only assuming*) I think Kenken grew a bit taller, because when he dances/jumps we can see his abs. XD I was all starry-eyed and staring at Kenken; during the song he really was frowning all the way and even glared at the person in the audience he pointed his racket at. DAMMIT WHAT I'D GIVE TO HAVE THAT EYE CONTACT WITH KENKEN, EVEN IF HE'LL BE GLARING AND POINTING A RACKET AT ME!!! Ahem.
Second song I think, again is "To the Top" (because that's the most repeated phrase throughout the song)... And the Higa boys did their belly/hip dance...!
(ﾟ＿ﾟi)
***
First Match: Singles 3: Momoshiro vs. Oshitari
Tensai Oshitari vs. Bakajikara Momoshiro. I was too mesmerized by Saitou Takumi. He's TALL. φ(．． ) I mean, I know he's tall, but I didn't know he was THAT tall. *imagines how tall Hayashino Takeshi must be...* Poor Momo, he bumped into a post. :( Oshitari won. Saitou Takumi takes too big leaps/steps. Only a few more inches and he'll have ended up on top of the girls in the first row. Good thing he didn't. Saitou Takumi's voice = ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ Sexay! XDDD
***
Viking Horn: Hweh, that Momoshiro's really one tough guy..
Big Bang: Hmph, if it's being tough we're talking about, he's no match for me! *slaps Viking Horn on the chest*
Viking Horn: ITAAAAA! *glares at Big Bang and slaps him on the chest too*
Big Bang: Owohh!!! *surprised* Ha-ha!! *slaps Viking Horn on the chest again*
Viking Horn: Uwa... *keels over for a bit* *pinches Big Bang's arm*
Big Bang: Aowachaiyaaaaaaaa!!! (that's really the sound he made, lol)
Viking Horn: Hah!
Big Bang: *clutches his arm and lands another giant slap on Viking Horn's chest*
Viking Horn: ITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *flies off the right side of the stage*
Big Bang: See??
***
Second Match: Doubles 2: Inui & Kaidou vs. Mukahi & Wakashi
Gakuto griping about why Hiyoshi had to be his partner, while Hiyoshi's just smirking. Gakuto is super genki!!! He even imitated a da-ne impression in the middle of the match (＾ε＾)ノ゛ He also imitated Hiyoshi's gekokujou pose (or something. I forgot what his tennis move is called). Gahhh too much acrobat!!! XDDD I think it's safe to say that Gakuto captured the attention of everyone in the audience.
Inui revealed his new (?) tennis move:
Inui: Kaidou, Waterfall. Don't you think it's a good name?
Kaidou: ...
Inui: *to audience* Kaidou, Waterfall. Don't you think it's a good name?
Audience: LOL
Inui: I think it's a good name.
And then came the blinding blue light of Kaidou's TORNADO SNAKE!! @___@ Everytime he did that Tornado Snake, the blue light would flash across our faces (our meaning a good first half of the NT$2,200 seats) and leave us razzle-dazzled at the Tornado Snake light ( ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ;)
***
Third Match: Singles 2: Tezuka vs. Kabaji
I got to really appreciate Washimi Ryo's acting here. *sigh*
Tezuka has his Tezuka zone. Kabaji also has his Kabaji zone. XD
Then it started to rain... and Kabaji declares "KATSU NO WA HYOUTEI DESU!!!"
***
Fourth Match: Doubles 1: Oishi & Kikumaru vs. Shishido & Ootori
Shishido and Choutaro proceed to the tennis court, when they were told that the match will be cancelled because of the heavy rain.
Shishido: Oi oi, what's this?! Rain?!? We can still play tennis, dammit!
Match will resume tomorrow; meanwhile, Oishi and Kikumaru practice in the rain.
And... THERE WAS REAL RAIN ONSTAGE! They only rained on Oishi though. *reminded of Gackt's Moon concert, where it rained onstage too*
During the match, ah dammit, why can't I remember what Kenken's lines were!! Urghhh!!! (ﾉДT) (;´Д`)ノ
Both doubles pairs did the Australian formation. Anyway, even if the Golden Pair synced totally, Silver Pair won. (YOSHAAA XD) Oishi and Kikumaru had no idea what happened during the time they synced though. Like, Muga no Kyouchi, maybe?
During the match, Jiro begged to sit beside Oshitari and Atobe. Then when the Golden Pair was in sync, he was already asleep with his head on Oshitari's lap. Kyaaaaa о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
***
I'm wondering why Fuji still has a solo (an upbeat Latin dance-style rhythm) when he doesn't have a match... Oh well, Furukawa Yuuta...!! The smile is to die for. Heck, all their smiles are to die for!
***
Fifth match: Singles 1: Echizen vs. Atobe
Prince vs. King? XDDDD
Crowd cheers Atobe with "KING! KING! KING! KING! KING!" while he and Ryoma walk up the stage. Both have thier jacket draped over their shoulders, both are smirking, and Ryoma beat Atobe in snapping his fingers and saying "Katsu no wa... Ore da!" and threw his jacket over to Taka-san I think. (｀∀´) Atobe just raised an eyebrow and smirked and did the same thing with his jacket, to Kabaji.
Atobe: You may be a prince of something-or-the-other, but I am KING.
Ryoma: *surveys crowd cheering Atobe* Hmmm... King? Monkey King?
Audience: LOL
I can't remember who dared the other to shave his head like a monk if he loses. Hmmm... Maybe Atobe said that, like "If I lose, I'll shave my hair off" but I'm not so sure... Anyway, the dared each other to shave their hair if they lost.
Ryoma: *smirk* Ha.
Atobe: *smirk* Ha.
Ryoma: Haha.
Atobe: Haha.
Ryoma: Hahaha!
Atobe: Hahaha!
Ryoma: HAHAHAHAHA!
Atobe: HAHAHAHAHA!
Audience: ...lol
Atobe's song is... rock, and is COOL and is not at all like the ego-tripping "Oresama no Bigi ni" song (in the rhythm anyway).
Ryoma did Muga no Kyouchi a number of times, with Tanishi's Big Bang, Kai's Viking Horn, and the other moves he picked up/watched during Seigaku's previous matches. Atobe remains unfazed (of course); "Hmm.. So that's your Muga no Kyouichi huh..." Then Ryoma does a Tezuka zone, which pisses of Atobe.
Atobe: *to Tezuka* TEZUKA!!! YOU'RE STILL INTERFERING IN OUR MATCH?!?!
Audience: lol
89-89 matchpoint/tiebreak? (One drop of sweat flew off Kazuki's brow *gets bricked*) Both fell down at the same time and one of them has to get up before ninety seconds. Hyoutei and Seigaku yell at both to hurry and get up.
Shishido: OI ATOBE! STAND UP! STAND UP DAMMIT! DON'T LET US SEE YOU LIKE THAT!!!
Oshitari: Oi Atobe, stand up and finish the match!
Atobe stood up well before ninety seconds, while Ryoma was still flop on the court thinking about the special moves of Seigaku. "And.. what was Taka-san's again?" "Fuji-senpai is too refined in doing his moves..."
Momoshiro, Taka-san, Kaidou: ECHIZEN! Stand up!!!!
Finally, at eighty or so seconds, Ryoma stood up and served. Atobe just stood there, glowering and did not move an inch. Which means, Seigaku wins.
Seigaku cheers. Hyoutei except Atobe bow to the audience. Lights dim and Atobe is still glowering. Ryoma comes back, holding a razor with glee. He walks up to Atobe when Kabaji literally picks Atobe up and walks very quickly away from Ryoma. Ryoma then goes "Oi Kabaji-san, that's not the deal!!!"
And then Big Bang comes out and says "Who would have thought that that chibi could win over Atobe?? That Atobe, the one who won against that cool-dude Sanada (he used erasou na yatsu, don't know how to translate that exactly @_@)??!"
Insert dandandandan music/beat. Atobe walks by and glares at him. Atobe's hair is like Choutaro's hair, only much more shorter and spikier, to which Big Bang gets a pretty nasty shock and runs away screaming.
***
Ending:
"Strong Enough to Fight" and "To the Top" (again, I'm not sure if these really are the titles. I'm just assuming they are since they're the most reiterated lines in the song)
***
Curtain Call:
Crowd favorites are (in order of curtain call appearance):
1. Shinotani Hijiri
2. Kamakari Kenta
3. Li Yung Wen (or something. The Taiwanese Choutaro guy)
4. Aoyagi Ruito
5. Saitou Takumi
6. Katou Kazuki
7. Hirata Yuichiro
8. Furukawa Yuuta (omg, the screams...)
9. Watanabe Daisuke

Thank you speech made by the Taiwanese actor/singer guy (Taiwanese fangirls went wild). For the last bow, he spoke a few more lines of thanks in Chinese.
Tenimyu cast: *looks at each other*
Li Yung Wen (or something): Ah, sorry sorry! *gestures to Shougo*
Tenimyu cast: *laughs*
Shougo: Sore dewa minna-san, honjitsu wa doumo arigatou gozaimasu!
Daisuke: Xiexie!!
Tenimyu cast: Arigatou!! Xiexie!!! Baibai!!!!
GADDAMIT HIJIRI WAS WAVING AT ALL OF US IN THE FIRST ROWS!! HE MADE EYE CONTACT WITH EACH OF US WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *flails*
***
Encore:
We clapped for five minutes, nonstop, until they raised the curtain again and FGKS played...!!!

(then again, if your Tenimyu boy of choice smiled at you, any good fangirl's reaction will be like mine or wilder)
***
End of the Musical:
Surprisingly, I didn't cry. (expected myself to bawl after the musical but, didn't ^^;) Anyway, at 21h30 every one of us waited at the stage door exit, to catch one last glimpse of teh Tenimyu actors as they board their buses. Was at the very front, already at the "DO NOT CROSS" strip of red line.
21h20 and still no actor coming out. Dad called me so I slipped out of the red line and went to him. Was already walking away (and in a dilemma: wait for the actor and risk not catching the Taoyuan bus home, or ride the bus and not wait for the Tenimyu boys?) when everyone went crazy and started squealing!! So I ran back, whipped out my phone and recorded the boys boarding their bus. Sadly, geocities doesn't want to upload .3gp files... Well anyway, the video's not that good because of the afore-mentioned reasons. :P
I was only two meters away from them!!! First bus was boarded by Kazuki, Takuya, Kawai Ryuunosuke and Ruito. The girls kept on screaming "KAZUKI!!! KAZUKI!! KAZUKI!!!" Second bus was boarded by Kenken, Washi, and Takumi. Takumi was all smiles at us before boarding the bus. Kenken looked tired, but he still waved bye to us all XD
I have videos of them boarding the bus, but it's super low quality/blurred due to lack of lights and pushing fangirls Σ(~∀~||;)
So, that was over (didn't wait for Seigaku/Higa anymore. WHY?! WHY?! WHY!???!), and my dad and I walked to the next corner (around half a kilometer away from Novel Hall) to cross to the Mitsukoshi shopping center (again) and wait for the bus there. When we reached the corner, the stoplight was red for the buses and green for pedestrians. Was already in the process of crossing the street when I realized that the bus in front of us was the Tenimyu bus! And the curtain was tied up. It was Saitou Takumi on that side of the bus, and he saw me and waved!!! I waved back and was all smiling at him until my dad had to pull me to get me to cross the street. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
***
Next day, went to Taipei again to hunt for those elusive Katou Kazuki and Saitou Takumi photosets. Arrived at Novel Hall at exactly 12h15; lots of people already buying merchandise, squeezed myself in line and asked for the photosets, and FINALLY GOT TO BUY THEM!! Third buying escapade:
1. Katou Kazuki/Atobe Keigo - 2
2. Saitou Takumi/Oshitari Yuushi - 3
Was about to leave when I remembered that I'm supposed to buy pamphlets as well!!!
3. Pamphlet - 2
And they gave me a free Seigaku Letter/Stationery set... AND
A DREAM LIVE V POSTERRRRR!!!!!
Maybe they were sick of me asking for the same photosets over and over again that they gave me extras so I wouldn't bother them anymore σ(^_^;)
***
So there you have it. I wrung my brain dry (is wrung even a word?? o_O;;) squeezing all the details out. Sad to say, I forgot quite huge chunks of lines/ad libs during the matches. *was too mesmerized*
And now, I go. It's now 23h12, 5 hours more until I wake up for tomorrow. @___@
neitaro, you'd better pay me with some Boukenger/Go-onger for writing this. I should be sleeping now @___@
***
ATTENTION:
neitaro: Let's meet this Friday at Megamall, but it'll be really quick because we're going to your Wafubishie-Hansubanana-sama's house. You can tag along too if you want. Heh XD Your set: Pamphlet, Aoyagi Ruito, Takuya.
angelstale19: I'll give neitaro yours. Your set: Katou Kazuki.
Nikka & Cy: Your set: Hirata Yuichiro.
miyuu17: I'll drop by Ateneo sometime by the end of October, let's meet there because I'll also be meeting up with Nikka and Cy to give them their photosets. Your set: Watanabe Daisuke, Sakamoto Shougo, Katou Kazuki, Saitou Takumi.
nyel_06: ... You have to come back here to get yours. >:D Your set: Furukawa Yuuta, Hirata Yuichiro.

Viking Horn: Uwa... *keels over for a bit* *pinches Big Bang's arm*
Big Bang: Aowachaiyaaaaaaaa!!! (that's really the sound he made, lol)
Viking Horn: Hah!
Big Bang: *clutches his arm and lands another giant slap on Viking Horn's chest*
Viking Horn: ITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *flies off the right side of the stage*
Big Bang: See??

Second Match: Doubles 2: Inui & Kaidou vs. Mukahi & Wakashi
Gakuto griping about why Hiyoshi had to be his partner, while Hiyoshi's just smirking. Gakuto is super genki!!! He even imitated a da-ne impression in the middle of the match (＾ε＾)ノ゛ He also imitated Hiyoshi's gekokujou pose (or something. I forgot what his tennis move is called). Gahhh too much acrobat!!! XDDD I think it's safe to say that Gakuto captured the attention of everyone in the audience.
Inui revealed his new (?) tennis move:
Inui: Kaidou, Waterfall. Don't you think it's a good name?
Kaidou: ...
Inui: *to audience* Kaidou, Waterfall. Don't you think it's a good name?
Audience: LOL
Inui: I think it's a good name.
And then came the blinding blue light of Kaidou's TORNADO SNAKE!! @___@ Everytime he did that Tornado Snake, the blue light would flash across our faces (our meaning a good first half of the NT$2,200 seats) and leave us razzle-dazzled at the Tornado Snake light ( ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ;)

Third Match: Singles 2: Tezuka vs. Kabaji
I got to really appreciate Washimi Ryo's acting here. *sigh*
Tezuka has his Tezuka zone. Kabaji also has his Kabaji zone. XD
Then it started to rain... and Kabaji declares "KATSU NO WA HYOUTEI DESU!!!"
***
Fourth Match: Doubles 1: Oishi & Kikumaru vs. Shishido & Ootori
Shishido and Choutaro proceed to the tennis court, when they were told that the match will be cancelled because of the heavy rain.
Shishido: Oi oi, what's this?! Rain?!? We can still play tennis, dammit!
Match will resume tomorrow; meanwhile, Oishi and Kikumaru practice in the rain.
And... THERE WAS REAL RAIN ONSTAGE! They only rained on Oishi though. *reminded of Gackt's Moon concert, where it rained onstage too*
During the match, ah dammit, why can't I remember what Kenken's lines were!! Urghhh!!! (ﾉДT) (;´Д`)ノ
Both doubles pairs did the Australian formation. Anyway, even if the Golden Pair synced totally, Silver Pair won. (YOSHAAA XD) Oishi and Kikumaru had no idea what happened during the time they synced though. Like, Muga no Kyouchi, maybe?
During the match, Jiro begged to sit beside Oshitari and Atobe. Then when the Golden Pair was in sync, he was already asleep with his head on Oshitari's lap. Kyaaaaa о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

I'm wondering why Fuji still has a solo (an upbeat Latin dance-style rhythm) when he doesn't have a match... Oh well, Furukawa Yuuta...!! The smile is to die for. Heck, all their smiles are to die for!
***
Fifth match: Singles 1: Echizen vs. Atobe
Prince vs. King? XDDDD
Crowd cheers Atobe with "KING! KING! KING! KING! KING!" while he and Ryoma walk up the stage. Both have thier jacket draped over their shoulders, both are smirking, and Ryoma beat Atobe in snapping his fingers and saying "Katsu no wa... Ore da!" and threw his jacket over to Taka-san I think. (｀∀´) Atobe just raised an eyebrow and smirked and did the same thing with his jacket, to Kabaji.
Atobe: You may be a prince of something-or-the-other, but I am KING.
Ryoma: *surveys crowd cheering Atobe* Hmmm... King? Monkey King?
Audience: LOL
I can't remember who dared the other to shave his head like a monk if he loses. Hmmm... Maybe Atobe said that, like "If I lose, I'll shave my hair off" but I'm not so sure... Anyway, the dared each other to shave their hair if they lost.
Ryoma: *smirk* Ha.
Atobe: *smirk* Ha.
Ryoma: Haha.
Atobe: Haha.
Ryoma: Hahaha!
Atobe: Hahaha!
Ryoma: HAHAHAHAHA!
Atobe: HAHAHAHAHA!
Audience: ...lol
Atobe's song is... rock, and is COOL and is not at all like the ego-tripping "Oresama no Bigi ni" song (in the rhythm anyway).
Ryoma did Muga no Kyouchi a number of times, with Tanishi's Big Bang, Kai's Viking Horn, and the other moves he picked up/watched during Seigaku's previous matches. Atobe remains unfazed (of course); "Hmm.. So that's your Muga no Kyouichi huh..." Then Ryoma does a Tezuka zone, which pisses of Atobe.
Atobe: *to Tezuka* TEZUKA!!! YOU'RE STILL INTERFERING IN OUR MATCH?!?!
Audience: lol
89-89 matchpoint/tiebreak? (One drop of sweat flew off Kazuki's brow *gets bricked*) Both fell down at the same time and one of them has to get up before ninety seconds. Hyoutei and Seigaku yell at both to hurry and get up.
Shishido: OI ATOBE! STAND UP! STAND UP DAMMIT! DON'T LET US SEE YOU LIKE THAT!!!
Oshitari: Oi Atobe, stand up and finish the match!
Atobe stood up well before ninety seconds, while Ryoma was still flop on the court thinking about the special moves of Seigaku. "And.. what was Taka-san's again?" "Fuji-senpai is too refined in doing his moves..."
Momoshiro, Taka-san, Kaidou: ECHIZEN! Stand up!!!!
Finally, at eighty or so seconds, Ryoma stood up and served. Atobe just stood there, glowering and did not move an inch. Which means, Seigaku wins.
Seigaku cheers. Hyoutei except Atobe bow to the audience. Lights dim and Atobe is still glowering. Ryoma comes back, holding a razor with glee. He walks up to Atobe when Kabaji literally picks Atobe up and walks very quickly away from Ryoma. Ryoma then goes "Oi Kabaji-san, that's not the deal!!!"
And then Big Bang comes out and says "Who would have thought that that chibi could win over Atobe?? That Atobe, the one who won against that cool-dude Sanada (he used erasou na yatsu, don't know how to translate that exactly @_@)??!"
Insert dandandandan music/beat. Atobe walks by and glares at him. Atobe's hair is like Choutaro's hair, only much more shorter and spikier, to which Big Bang gets a pretty nasty shock and runs away screaming.

Ending:
"Strong Enough to Fight" and "To the Top" (again, I'm not sure if these really are the titles. I'm just assuming they are since they're the most reiterated lines in the song)

End of the Musical:
Surprisingly, I didn't cry. (expected myself to bawl after the musical but, didn't ^^;) Anyway, at 21h30 every one of us waited at the stage door exit, to catch one last glimpse of teh Tenimyu actors as they board their buses. Was at the very front, already at the "DO NOT CROSS" strip of red line.
21h20 and still no actor coming out. Dad called me so I slipped out of the red line and went to him. Was already walking away (and in a dilemma: wait for the actor and risk not catching the Taoyuan bus home, or ride the bus and not wait for the Tenimyu boys?) when everyone went crazy and started squealing!! So I ran back, whipped out my phone and recorded the boys boarding their bus. Sadly, geocities doesn't want to upload .3gp files... Well anyway, the video's not that good because of the afore-mentioned reasons. :P
I was only two meters away from them!!! First bus was boarded by Kazuki, Takuya, Kawai Ryuunosuke and Ruito. The girls kept on screaming "KAZUKI!!! KAZUKI!! KAZUKI!!!" Second bus was boarded by Kenken, Washi, and Takumi. Takumi was all smiles at us before boarding the bus. Kenken looked tired, but he still waved bye to us all XD
I have videos of them boarding the bus, but it's super low quality/blurred due to lack of lights and pushing fangirls Σ(~∀~||;)
So, that was over (didn't wait for Seigaku/Higa anymore. WHY?! WHY?! WHY!???!), and my dad and I walked to the next corner (around half a kilometer away from Novel Hall) to cross to the Mitsukoshi shopping center (again) and wait for the bus there. When we reached the corner, the stoplight was red for the buses and green for pedestrians. Was already in the process of crossing the street when I realized that the bus in front of us was the Tenimyu bus! And the curtain was tied up. It was Saitou Takumi on that side of the bus, and he saw me and waved!!! I waved back and was all smiling at him until my dad had to pull me to get me to cross the street. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
***
Next day, went to Taipei again to hunt for those elusive Katou Kazuki and Saitou Takumi photosets. Arrived at Novel Hall at exactly 12h15; lots of people already buying merchandise, squeezed myself in line and asked for the photosets, and FINALLY GOT TO BUY THEM!! Third buying escapade:
1. Katou Kazuki/Atobe Keigo - 2
2. Saitou Takumi/Oshitari Yuushi - 3
Was about to leave when I remembered that I'm supposed to buy pamphlets as well!!!
3. Pamphlet - 2
And they gave me a free Seigaku Letter/Stationery set... AND
A DREAM LIVE V POSTERRRRR!!!!!
Maybe they were sick of me asking for the same photosets over and over again that they gave me extras so I wouldn't bother them anymore σ(^_^;)
***
So there you have it. I wrung my brain dry (is wrung even a word?? o_O;;) squeezing all the details out. Sad to say, I forgot quite huge chunks of lines/ad libs during the matches. *was too mesmerized*
And now, I go. It's now 23h12, 5 hours more until I wake up for tomorrow. @___@
