Did anyone see the new Rikkai musical yet?

[awennor]

Any impressions? Best moments? Which songs got in and which left? Anything? Haha. I've found some japanese impressions, it appears that Winning Road is still in and so is Aratana Sekai He.

Sorry if a similar post already exists.

It'll be awesome!

Normally I post quite a long review but I've been a bit lazy

[awennor]

Thanks for the reply! I'm really looking forward to that RIkkai song!

Is ore ha iku still in? How was the new atobe?

Is that song during Ryoma VS Yukimura's match that Seigaku sings still in? The serious one about Ryoma's struggles. What about Dead End?

I'm also looking forward to the golden pair song, should be quite touching

I love nice powerful group numbers and the new Rikkai song does not disappoint

[awennor]

Oh, forgot one last question! Were they any new solos from Ryoma?

[aoi_kaze]

thank you very much for report =) it's wonderful to hear that Nioh and Fuji match is one of the best point in the show. and four hours?! I wonder how do boys survives this...

[fic_faery]

Well technically 3 hours and 45 minutes but it's been inching closer to four the whole run. And with the speeches and everything in the final show, it might be inching closer to five.

To be fair, there are two 10 minute intermissions and the boys get breaks by being off stage when they switch between Echizen or match scenes or at least a break from singing and dancing by being on the benches.

Still, it's a long time on stage. Those boys are troopers.

4 hours?!!!! damn that is long time to sit on the chair @_@
Okay, so, my first question would be : do the boys sang "Destiny"?
Second, what about Tezuka VS Sanada?
Third, how's Seiya's Inui whne he was hit by Akaya's ball?
Fourth, do they sing Highlight and Shinogi wo Kezuru Monotachi wo?
The Final Medley is different, what do you think about it?
Oh, and last but not least, do they sing their ballad song already? Or they save it for Gaisen Kouen?
I'm sorry iif my questions bothered you. I'm just too excited about this musical. And I need to know if it's worth the money (for the dvd)^^
Thanks in advance~

You get two breaks. The longest part is the final act since it not only has the rivals and Echizen/Yukimura match but also the whole epilogue part as well as the curtain call and encore

[ndoeth]

Too bad they didn't sing highlight and shinogi. These songs are great and have a nice vibe. but since they combined Final Match 1 and 2....

Aaah, I'm hoping they'd sing Destiny since they also sang Oretachi no Aikotoba in ShitenMyu.

A new song for Shiten too? That's great. I always love Shiten songs.

I watch their shonichi's preview and Seiya's fall is not really confincing. But maybe it's just the first. I'm sure he improves his moves on the next stage.

I do hope it's worth the money, since the price is crazy expensive. I hope they'll include the special match, and both Nanjirou's versions :3

Ouch, neraly 5 hours and 36 songs? I hope the boys are fine...

Thanks a lot for your detailed review^^

It makes sense that some would be cut just because of flow and no need for a summary song. But yeah, I do like Shinogi.

I think because they replaced it with a solo ballad from Ryoma that it doesn't feel like a song is missing. And Ryoma's ballad is beautiful.

It's a songlet. It's quite short and haunting. Very un-Shiten like. But still nice to have them sing more. And their after intermission song is fantastic. They bring all the Osaka insanity then.

Well he is a tall guy with a long way to go to the ground. But he's had many many shows to practice it.

Japanese DVDs always seem a bit expensive to me so I understand the feeling. But I'm sure it will be well worth the price. And they're quite good at including adlibs and special scenes.

Well, anything after 4 hours depends on how long the boys talk during the speeches. And some of those songs are super short. It works great in the show but I feel sorry for the people who have to turn it into a CD.
