The edge of adolescence vs the cusp of adulthood
Ossu! Ohisashiburi~! Kinda.
Remember when I said I'd be heading off to le Zipangu and that I'd be watching this Japanese adaptation of the Broadway musical Glory Days? If not, check about two entries down with the slightly provocative image--you really can't miss it. I actually wrote a short report about it here (accompanied by some pictures I took before and after the show) some time back. The DVD's been released and someone's uploaded a few of the songs on youtube. To give you all a better idea of what I saw that day, here's a vid of the title performance from the musical itself:-

Very talented bunch of young chaps, these four. Well, I'm actually pretty familiar with one of them but it took all four of them (together with all the other staff who made this wonderful adaptation possible) to make this show shine the way it did. =) Oh yeah, while I'm at it, and since they're available for streaming (for now), I thought I'd introduce a couple of my favorite songs from the show: this and this =D.
Do check 'em out, yeah? I promise you won't regret it. Probably. Possibly maybe. xxD And if you do like it, and have some spare cash in hand, do consider getting your hands on the DVD, yeah?
The drink after the show, I tell you, was a real gem. -.-; There are parts of the show that are slightly hazy in my head (the performance was powerful enough to cause a sensory overload in my HD) but my memory of the drink and of the experience I had after is technicolor vivid =.=.
