Shumatsu Samurai, thanks for the report

you gave us a lot of detail.
you are really lucky

Aw lucky! The theatre is huge!

and if I was there and saw the portraits/posters of Miki I would've just stood there for hours because it looked good, but I wouldn't miss the play...

I've gotta say I'm pretty envious but since you must've had fun then awesome!

wow thanks so much, Shumatsu Samurai!

It looks amazing! You're so lucky!
Damn, I'd take on of those huge poster for my room!

Thank you for your report, Shumatsu Samurai
I totally enjoyed reading everything.
Did you take note while watching the play or you just remember everything .. if so, darn .. your memory is
Thanks for asking about the DVD release ... I hope that there're many people are asking too so they could reconsider about releasing it in the future.

No, I didn't take notes. But most of what I wrote was only indirectly related to the play itself. If I had had the intention to take notes or to try to record some stuff I would have went twice. Once to check everything out and to actually enjoy the play and then once more for the "work" but I had neither time nor money for that.
Concerning the DVD release, I think it's possible. I remember seeing my professors collection of theater plays once and there were tons of similar stuff. Also, the availability of Okitegami on tape is somewhat reassuring. It shows that some companies will put some effort into making as much money as possible. Seeing how it was only performed for just over a week (actually ends today) and only in this one theater in Tokyo, it would make sense to release it for those who couldn't see it because of that.

I'm glad it wasn't my biased mind that thought Miki's acting is great from watching the news, but the people (elder), who went to the play, are actually liked it
Miki got herself some new fans after the play
The HG's foo part to the audience .. I wonder if that's scripted .. or he just wants to make people laugh from the serious play
But yeah, it's annoying if he did that just to make people remember who he is >_<

I'm sure it was scripted. He's not famous enough to be able to improvise something like this without getting punished. Also, as I said, it is a typical (yet annoying) custom in japanese entertainment to incorportate these types of catchphrases / special moves and such. If Kojima Yoshio were to be an actor in this, I'm sure they had him do his routine too....

Oh .. and thanks for sharing the pics
It's nice to see the place and what's there,
Those huge pics/posters of Miki are .. so beautiful

Again ... thanks for your report, it cheered me up a lot

Oh by the way, the song Miki sings is Habanera

Ah, thanks for that. I knew it was familiar. But to be honest, I have trouble enjoying ( = staying awake) opera.
Those huge posters sure are great but they didn't sell them.

I'm praying for them to release DVD =D
I guess Abe (the guy posting on Hakana blog) mentioned about no plans on DVD release was just to get more people to go see the play.
Keeping my fingers cross for DVD now

I don't really like opera either

..
But that version Miki sang is just

They should had have those posters for sell

But what are they gonna do about those posters when the play is over ... put up to auctions? LOL I'll kill to get it

Shumatsu Samurai · « **Reply #1926 on:** April 27, 2008, 04:23:25 PM »

Oh, I never read the blog? Who's this Abe guy? The producer? Would he really lie about it just to get more people to watch it?

As for the posters.... I'd want one too but I totally forgot to ask what they'll do with them. Probably keep them somewhere deep down in the ~~dungeon~~ basement, just to show them again in a few decades when the director one of the lead actors died or so...

I'm not sure who he is .. but he posted a lot on the blog

Bad news...Babelfish translated that entry as this:

Quote

Yesterday, sequence practice of 1 curtain was done. It is splendid truly to being just 1 curtain. Especially. We would like to call to the people of the Fujimoto fan and the large fan! Unless HAKANA you see, lifetime you regret. You say clearly, but as for DVD there is no schedule which is made. You can taste this impression at only the theater!

I'm guessing the entry was made as a "final call" for people to come watch the play.

Thanks Shumatsu Samurai for the detailed report and pictures.
So no DVD... but one can still hope...

Miki checking out the theater from up high...

Look familiar, Shumatsu Samurai?

Thanks for the great report!

It does. I can see my seat in the picture.

Yeah? Circle where you sat so we can see how close you were to where Miki was sitting.

Glasses dude, use those glasses.

I put an arrow in the picture.

Shumatsu Samurai, you didn't went to the sale/fans event, did you?
Look like you can shake hand and got autograph from her

Fanpics

The last pic looks so weird how her arm is linking o_O

JFC · « **Reply #1936 on:** May 01, 2008, 07:32:26 PM »

Her "linked" arm looks awkward in that pic. Makes me wonder if it was PS'ed to make it look like she actually linked arms.

It's actually a mikibot that they send out to these things and sometimes they malfunction. :-)

It's actually a mikibot that they sound out to these things and sometimes they malfunction. :-)

And out of curiosity, how would one go about obtaining such a mikibot?

Watch for the coupon included with the hakana dvd. :-)
