The theme is "appealing"
Fuku-chan (F) : There is a big change in this time's "Endless Shock."
Yudai (T) : There is, Matsu's(yusuke) hairstyle has changed.
Yusuke (M) : Yah Yah, my hair.....what?
Yuki (K) : (calmly) Uekusa-san is joining in our company.
T : There, I'm embarrassed if you just neglect me....
M : But its really fresh. It is same "~Shock," but I feel like I'm performing other show.
T : If it was "Stoic and strong" Shock until last year, this year's is more gentle Shock.
K : Of course Shock exists with Koichi-Kun, but Uekusa-san joined and...
T : There was Koichi-kun at the apex of the triangle and everybody was going straight to it until last year, but this time it's more rounded.
M : It might be. I feel that everybody is seeing the whole thing. Uekusa-san plays differently on rehearsal and on stage, and even every stage he does play differently. We can't react if we don't pay attention.
T : We have been told that "don't do things that's already there," and "Don't do the same thing every day, Challenge a lot of different things."
F : We can challenge confidently since he said "make mistakes."
K : It was very encouraging that he said "it's OK to make mistakes."
T : Koichi-kun has also changed when rehearsing. He plays a little when practicing "Tate" (Tate is like fighting (with sword) scene of Japanese traditional stageplay.) But it doesn't cause our inattention. It softens the atomosphere.
F : Actually I personally have made a change in my lifestyle. Until last year, I decided time to come to the theatre, time to eat a meal etc. and patterned my action. But this time I do what I feel like to do. Only that can make me feel fresh.
K : As Uekusa-san adviced, I try not to say my lines too strong. He told me that that way the message may communicate itself to the audience.
M : I also try not to "act" too much on purpose. How much I can act naturally is my challenge this time.
T : My challenge is to do something new everyday. I'm trying to express by words and action whatever I see and feel without decinding what I do.
K : We can try all these challenges because Uekusa-san pushed us. His presence is big for us.
F : Father of Imperial Theatre(where Shock is playing).
M&K&T : That's so right!
K : And Koichi is brother of Imperial Theater.
F : By the way, I heard that the theme of picture this time is "sexy." A sexy one in the member is.....none.*laughs*
T : Fuku-chan's severe face when dancing is sexy. his eyebrows, usually shapes like
"/ \"(actually yudai is saying "ha no ji" means letter ha, which shape like this in japanese), becomes uneven, like "how is my dancing?"*laugs*
F : That's just my habit!!
K : But do guys think men is sexy?
M : What is "sexy" anyways?
F : Muscle?
T : How they swing their hips?(OMG Yudai...)
M : What about color?(WTF? Color? what do you mean Yusuke?I'm very confused)
K : It's odor, ODOR!!
F : Pheromone!
M&T&K : That's it~!!*laughs*
T : I saw it on TV, that only opposite sex notices the pheromone. Moreover pheromone is secreted when the life is in danger. According to that theory when Koichi-kun is falling stairs (in the play) he secretes a lot of it.
F : So as When doing "Tate." That means fighting scene is full of man's pheromone.*laughs*
T : So it's the ticket not easy to obtain. (he implies that it's not easy to secrete pheromone.)
M : I see. *laughs* You said that only opposite sex recognize it earlier, but I feel sexiness to old guy riding Harley-Davidson.
F : George Clooney and Bob Marley both deserve to be sexy.(WHAT?I agree about George but Bob is far away from sexy!) I can't really explain well...though.
K : Affordability as an adult, isn't it?
T : Speaking of affordability, Nishikiori-san is also in that category.
F : I agree. He is so affordable as a person.
M : That means affordability=sexiness? What about ladies' (sexiness)?
T : The elegance?
K : That also connects to affordability.
F : It would be great if we could be that kind of person in the future. I don't know if it's sexy, but there are people I admire. I want to be like them as close as I can.
K : When I see an smart looking old guy, really I feel I want to get old like him.
T : Not limiting myself by the age, wearing the clothes I like, challenging whatever I want to....
M : That's exactly what I implied in the Harley-Davidson guy.
(Suddenly Fujigaya, who was shooting in the same studio, burst into the conversation.)
Fujigaya : In other words, people who is doing what they want is sexy.
F : You concludes the conversation well even though you just bursted in...
