I have things to say, but let me collect myself because I forgot the first thing again already - oh, here it is!
26TH APRIL!! No one expected this. NO ONE. Just a day before that a preview of an interview Fujigaya gave for his TAKE FIVE butai popped up, stating he wouldn't have time to go see Kabuki with filming Nobunaga Concerto and the butai rehearsals. The next day SUDDENLY HE WENT TO SEE KABUKI!! Still no one knows why, both Kitayama and Fujigaya refused to talk much about it. Fujigaya got to read the letter, of course and things happened. THINGS, I'm telling you. First they left them alone to read the letter, fangirls were freaking out. Then when Gaya returned to his seat Yabu asked "Had a nice time together?" and Mitsu went with "That guy smells good~" LIKE ARE YOU A PUPPY?? I mean he was serenading Gaya's smell on TV already but damn ( here btw). They talked about Gaya's CM too and how Mitsu had seen it, Gaya was all shy as always thanking him. Mitsu also wrote Kizuna again that day, but it felt

Cute story about Fujigaya! I don't know very much about Kisumai at all, but I like what I've seen from Fujigaya and now Kitayama. :)
The costumes they're using for WB are actually old Kisumai-costumes!
OH. THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. XD I thought they were just Takki's fever dream creations. Was it from when they were Juniors?
It was an entertaining comment! I don't have context for some of it, but it was entertaining to read all the same. :) I'm glad there'll be a DVD! They did a fantastic job with this show. :)
I love you forever for this wonderful fantastic awesome report. Can't wait for the Dvd to come out so I can watch this myself. From your report and other papapics I've seen, I'd love to see Believe Yourself and Takki dancing on the drum the most. How can a man be utterly cute one minute then so erotic the next. i would totally request this in TT next concert where Takki is spinning himself above a dancing Tsubasa. Btw I totally agree with you about the English naration. Maybe you should write to Takki about your suggestions. He would greatly appreciate your constructive feedback I'm sure.
Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed reading it! :D
"Believe yourself" is really beautiful, and even though Takki whines all the time that he can't speak English, I'm proud of him for trying a full song in the language anyway. He didn't do half bad, either. He might have a mental block on it.
TAKKI DANCING ON THE DRUM IS ADORABLE. I'm sure he intended to look all awesome and badass but nope, he's an adorable elven prince forever and that dance was extraordinarily cute.

Yes please.
I did write him a little bit on the subject! I wanted to emphasize the good as well as what I thought could use improvement. I heard some hearsay recently from a Japanese friend that Takki told MAD to study English a year ago and that they wrote the Oshichi story on their own. If that's true, kudos to them for trying for a Shakespearean angle, but I really don't think anyone proofread it afterward. Let me do it! I'll do it for fre

Hi! Firstly, thank you so much for your report. I'm a fan of Yabu and I'm so so so happy to see that he impressed you (I assumed so from your report x))
It also helped me alot in recollecting what had happened, and also seeing everything from another point of view (as you said, it is hard looking at everyone when I was only focusing on one xD)
I know little about Johnnys other than KAT-TUN and the groups Yabu have been in, but I was really awed by this kabuki and how Takki put together a show so well that although I was only focusing on one person, I managed to see how everyone was involved. I've been to a few other butais by JE but I was really impressed by this and how hard everyone worked for it.
And lastly, if you don't mind I would like to share your report in the HSJ fandom :)
He REALLY did! In, what, three months? I went from, "Which one is he?" to "YABU! ♡"
He has a very subtle kind of snark to him that I found amusing, and like I said, his singing voice was a true pleasure to hear. I don't know off the top of my head everyone I'd put in my personal top five favorite singers, but he's definitely one of them.
As a fan of T&T, I'm almost guaranteed to go see anything they're in, and sometimes they've done things I wasn't wild about, but I have profound respect for Kabuki. Like I said in a comment above, Takki just pours so much devotion and concentration into crafting this show, and I'm always happy to see it paying off for him in the feedback I see people give. He's probably not entirely satisfied, but I hope there are days he goes, "Yay! I did good!" and gives himself a sparkling gold glitter star on his pink bike helmet.
Of course! Sorry to have taken so long writing back! You're welcome to share it. :)
it took me half a lesson about ancient Japanese linguistic politeness to read half of the report. Well done, well done!~ Which means I missed most of what the lesson was about but I can read it later on. I have to make priorities in live) I enjoyed it a lot. All the details <3
