I watched both versions, dun want to say that much coz I prefer writing in my blog, but both versions have their pros and cons. Sayaka is a pro when it comes to singing and she's got this amazing pose on stage. But even though when it was her idea to kiss for real, I think the SayaTaka kisses were not as romantic as the SaeYuki pair's.
Sae's voice is so weak compared to Sayaka, but that weakness made of her character totally "hugable." I would have get rid of that wig, though. The SaeYuki pair wasn't as pro as the other pair but it was more natural.
Of course I liked the SayakaTaka version more but it's not Sae's fault. It's just that I'm not
very fond of Yuki.
This musical made me think Sayaka has been losing her time and wasting her talent in AKB, she should have joined Takarazuka Revue. But it's too late for that now. And I wouldn't have been able to meet her if she were a Takarazuka....
