From Tokyograph:
Morning Musume, Takarazuka team up for "Cinderella" musical
Sat, March 1, 2008 (7:58pm EST)
Morning Musume is once again teaming up with the Takarazuka Revue for a musical production. In 2006, Hello! Project members appeared in "Ribbon no Kishi," with the lead played by Ai Takahashi. This time, they will be taking on "Cinderella the Musical."
While Kaoru Ebira was the only Takarasienne to appear in "Ribon no Kishi," this time will involve many more of the group's actresses. The roster includes current members Ebira and Akemi Ko, former top stars Mire Aika and Saki Asaji, and 20 graduates serving as dancers. In addition, the musical is being directed by Sumio Sakai, a veteran Takarazuka director.
"Cinderella" will be performed 33 times at the Shinjuku Koma Stadium from August 6 to 25. Group tickets go on sale April 1, while general tickets will be available on June 29.

That's a good thing : Ai was wonderful in Ribbon no Kishi.
But I'm not convinced by the three new members in a comedy. Hope they'll prove me I'm wrong.
(what a pity there's no Rika...)
-
But I'm not convinced by the three new members in a comedy. Hope they'll prove me I'm wrong.
that's true but actually Aika is the only one I'm worried .........
-
woop a revue! I hope they put some form of wota joke in there xD(obviously not the type that will actually offend them)
Since it's just MM this time, it should mean that they get some decent parts.
Shall we start guessing on roles?
Cinderella - let's just face it, she's amazing at singing and acting
Prince - Niigaki, or maybe Reina. I can just see Niigaki being an awesome bishounen prince!
Step sisters - Sayumi! that really would be an awesome joke! and then maybe koharu?
fairy godmother - Eri? hmm not so sure
pet friend - Mittsi(u know like in the disney film with the mice..that sort of idea)
err trying to think of other roles...prince will probably have an assistant, that could be Junjun and Linlin(what ever their roles i can almost guarantee they will be a duo..much like erika and yui) and the mother will probably be played by a takarazuka..as will the prince's parents
-
i think the prince may be played by the takarazuka company.
i'm hoping for Eri to land the cinderella spot with Ai chan and Gaki san as her evil step sisters.
-

haha, I'm actually hoping that either Junjun, Linlin, or Niigaki to be Cinderella...
Or they may do Eri/Reina do the stepsisters, Takahashi as the stepmother, and Niigaki Cinderella? (like my fanfic) lol
-
the takarazuka member that played the king last time will probably play the king this time too.
Then another member will play the Queen. So that leaves 2 others to have 'roles'(not backing dancers as it were) so probably a step-mother..then another..probably a random character specific to this version of the play. Is there a kind of 'buttons' character in this version???(it's the Rodgers and Hammerstein version)
Junjun and Linlin absolutely have to be an over-the-top comedy duo in this tho! I really hope they use the two girls and don't just have them in the background(like they were in most of their first MM concert)
-
Hopefully, Takarazuka will take the step mother part :thumbdown:
I'll pray for Cinderella = Aika :heart:
-
i just realised Sayu should be the evil stepmother... she would excel in that role, seriously
-
Woah! :w00t: but who's gonna play Cinderella? ai-chan?
-
Sounds great. Can't wait to see who's cast as what characters.
Just a question. Is it going to be performed everyday between the 6/8 and the 25/8?
-
So it is just Morning Musume in this one, without the other H!P artists? Well, that's going to limit the choice in characters. Before they had Yossi to play a male character and Miki to play the villain type, but they're not in momusu anymore. But Risa as the prince or something like that would be interesting! And I kinda see Reina as the Cinderella, she sings well enough for the part. Ai would work as the prince now too, in a way. What with her short hair and all.
-
All I can say is that I hope that Ai isn't the lead again. But, Sayumi would excel as the evil stepmother. Then Aika and Koharu could be the stepsisters. :rofl:
I could probably see Reina as Cinderella, actually.
-
I'd like to see Eri as Cinderella. Ai would be a good choice, but in my ideal world I feel it would be unfair since she was the center of the last musical. Junjun should play the stepmother or a stepsister because she's evil like that XD
-
I could probably see Reina as Cinderella, actually.
but if Reina is Cinderella, she's too scary to be push around :lol: :lol:
Ai would be a good choice, but in my ideal world I feel it would be unfair since she was the center of the last musical.
I agree too ....... but the choice is limited ..........
-
But I assume that like last time they're all going to audition for the parts(i remember seeing them on musume dokyu)
It was the musical people that chose the main parts, not UFA or anyone. So it will actually go to who is best suited for the part, including acting, singing and dancing in a professional way....in other words Ai is almost guaranteed a main part just because she is the most accomplished musume and she loves takarazuka and performing in this way so I think she kind of deserves it for that(remember that utaban/heyx3 a while back with their bags, she had a takarazuka magazine in her bag)
-
Who actually can play Cinderella except Takahashi ? :lol: :lol: funny funny
-
Junjun maybe...? lol, she get's pushed around because of her love of bananas. XD (jk, jk)
-
Really Looking forward to this, and of course Ai is gonna play the main role.. LOL or.. i dunno

^ The title is unknown at the moment. The artist name is truncated at "Cinderella the Mu". (That site always truncutes long names. XD) The catalog numbers and prices suggest that they are a limited and regular edition CD single. Release date must be read as June 11th.

Absolutely interesting! However, two months before the actual musical starts? OK. Usually the tie-in pimps the single, then the single sells better (or is supposed to do so). Here the single will pimp the tie-in LOL I hope they sell out for play and it's not just a wota fest!
I wonder if it will be a group single or a solo. Eri you better be Cinderella if that's the case :oops:

If Eri were Cinderella, that would be AMAZING. She'd make such a great cinderella.
But I assume that like last time they're all going to audition for the parts(i remember seeing them on musume dokyu)
I really hope it is based on audition. It's just more fair that way, even if Ai does still get the lead. But you never know... someone other than Ai in the lead would honestly be a pleasant surprise, if you ask me. Ai's talented, but even the best songs get old if you listen to them over and over again enough times.
-
soundtrack !?
XD

i want Ai to play the prince role XD!
and.. Gaki or Kame like Cinderella.. *-*

It's the same with Athena & Robikerottsu. Chisa, Saki, and Aika had nothing to do with the show (as far as I know), and yet they sang the theme song for it.
I'm glad Captain, Ai, and Reina get to do something outside of their groups.

I don't see it as BEAUTY because, if it is real, it just means that Eri, Sayu, Koha, Aika, Junjun and Linlin are once again shafted, because if they have a special unit about the musical, I can assume that they would use the people that play important characters on the show for it. As I said, what I find weird is that if these girls would play a significant role on the play, they would be listed at least as part of the cast.
And singing the theme for an anime is not equal to sing a single from a musical. L'Arc~en~Ciel sang the theme from Full Metal Alchemist, and theyy were not doing anything in the show, just an example.
-
I don't see it as BEAUTY because, if it is real, it just means that Eri, Sayu, Koha, Aika, Junjun and Linlin are once again shafted
Yeah, cuz Shimizu Saki and Maeda Yuuka always have so many chances to shine. :lol:

おおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおぉ!!
Hell yeah for Yuukarin!
-

I feel your pain. I could seriously start getting angry over this. At this point, it's just annoying.
-
It is bittersweet, because yes, the other MM girls are getting shafted.... but I am happy for Captain and Yuuka. And Maimi does pretty well for herself. However, I'm worried this unit may turn out to be Takanaka + background considering the other girls aren't part of the musical. That to me is almost a waste.

It's pretty much almost guaranteed to happen. :-\

they're pimping the Musical ~~~~~~~
also please be positive ~ V V

MAIMI. TAKAHASHI. REINA. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
That asked for all caps. All of my Hello! Project dreams have now pretty much been fulfilled (aside from my dream of a Maimi/Kikka duet....).
-
very cool the unit! but I don't know Maeda Yuuka XDDD
I only know that she is an egg XDD
-
I love Ai-chan's singing, plus she's hot, Reina's cute and sexy, Captain is adorable and deserves it, Maimi is beautiful and unique and even though i dunno Yuuka, glad to see H!P Eggs breaking out.
with that said, i do feel sorry ( and angry) for the other MM girls. they are part of the musical yet they are being treated like so. just hope they know that they're still loved.
-
hmmmmm ...... something tells me Reina is the
YankiiReina Cinderella, Aichan is the Prince, Kame is the VeryHot Sister Fairy Godmother, Sayu is the Evil Stepmother
hmmmmm........ about Gaki ............ hmmmmmm..........
-
I really don't think Takahashi will be Ella (the Prince is the safest bet), but I'm hoping that Reina isn't her either...
-
I really don't think Takahashi will be Ella (the Prince is the safest bet), but I'm hoping that Reina isn't her either...
yes, if Aichan is Ella, some fans may will be outraged ...... so yeah, the prince is best bet ^_^
and Reina , yeah ... she's no "Cinderella" .... no one can push her around ........ but I think she in the "focus" recently, so it can be her ^_^
to be honest, I want Gaki to be Ella ~ TakaGaki = the Prince & Cinderella !!!!!!
-
Personally, I'd find it funny if Cinderella is taller than the Prince....*ahem*
XDDD
So if they're putting Aichan as the Prince, the only logical choice as Ella would be Reina. Because she's the only one that's marginally shorter. XDDDD
Just my two cents. *shrug*
-
Most people think Ai and Reina as the prince and cinderella which it probably will be (there's more of a chance of that). But I want something different. Risa as the prince and Eri as cinderella? :heart:
Sayumi has to be one of the ugly stepsisters. If she is, I will be so happy and LMAO!
-
I really don't think Takahashi will be Ella (the Prince is the safest bet), but I'm hoping that Reina isn't her either...
yes, if Aichan is Ella, some fans may will be outraged ...... so yeah, the prince is best bet ^_^
I meant vocally she's not the best. Cinderella has this pure, innocent voice where Takahashi has a super powerful voice. Who cares about the fans :lol: People will be upset regardless.
I think Reina'd have a very difficult time playing the girlish/innocent role of Ella (Julie Andrews~!). I'd much rather see her play someone else. Who, I don't know... Just someone not Ella.
Originally, I wanted Gaki as the Fairy Godmother, but now I think I want her as the oldest sister and have Sayumi be the younger, stupid one :lol:
But back to Ella, the only one I can see playing her well from the group would be Eri. Eri just has a similar air that I get from watching Julie Andrews. The only thing I'm not sure Eri could do well would be the soprano-ish range Ella's songs have.
If not the prince, I'd LOVE to see Takahashi be the Fairy Godmother.
-
Yeah Eri will really fit into the role well as she is a very very normal girl but yet has this air of elegance and slight mystery.
However her voice is also a suspect because you really need to sing very well. I hope they give her the role and train her well to own the character :D
-
I meant Aichan is in the closest soprano range to the "Ella Song" (if this musical is like others) than others (next is Reina and Eri)..... and Fans reactions (such as "wtf, Takahashi again ??") are also crucial to the success ........... less upset, more $$$$ .......
Eri can be Cinderella (actually my 1st choice), but her voice is not in range ...... yet ..... but I think she'll get pick if she's ready
-
I think Gaki would be a great Fairy Godmother, Takahashi fits the Prince role, Sayu is gonna be one badass hilarious stepsister, no doubt. For Cinderella, either Eri or Reina, but reina doesn't seem like the pushover type u know,.... Reina might play the Prince (Ai-chan) attendent, maybe...
But i wonder what Koharu, Mitsi, JunJun and LinLin will do....
I just wanna say, If for some odd reason, Koharu ends up being Cinderella, that just doesn't sound right.... no offense, i don't really hate her, but i don't think she fit the role of Cinderella, i'd be pissed if UFA pulls something like that...
Koha should be a wicked step sister, she fits that role like sayu does.
There gonna def. be some hilarious scenes with sayu-pink and koha-pink being evil stepsisters.
-
^ Haha yes. Rainbow Pink as the step-sisters! XD I'm just hoping that either Gaki/8 gen will have Cinderella..
OMG. I just thought of something. Junjun and Linlin as the stepsiters!!!! XD
-
Actually i just realized....
They say that this cinderella musical is base on one specific version. I never knew that there were so many different versions. I only know of the popular Disney version.
how would this different from the disney one?
-
The Morning Musume and Takarazuka Revue version will be an adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (see Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_(TV))).

how would this different from the disney one?
It focuses on the palace a bit more than the Disney one does (you see the King and Queen+Prince more), there's no magically talking animals that help her, her fairy godmother is actually her godmother with fairy powers :lol:
Julie Andrews is the originally Cinderella for this version. It's really short. Like an hour or something. I watched the movie the other day :lol:
-
gah the disney version is so silly i'd be bad if they based it on that(disney just didnt do justice to the classic story)
and the best versions always pay a good amount of attention to the king, queen prince
So Ai and Reina are likely to have leads judging from the single so my bet is one is the prince the other is Cinderella...I'm thinking Reina might be Cinders
-
tanaka and ai :D :wub:
-
I want to know who is Cinderella and who is the prince. Reina and Ai-chan *0*, they look very cool together
-
i think Gaki would make a nice stepmother..... maybe. Kamei a good fairy godmother.
-
i think Gaki would make a nice stepmother..... maybe. Kamei a good fairy godmother.
I actually think Takahashi would make a good stepmother. I could see her being pretty wicked, actually. Same with Junjun, actually... but I really would like to see Jun/Lin stepsisters.
And I'm going to jump on the "Eri should be Cinderella" bandwagon. Then Gaki could be prince. :heart:
-
And I'm going to jump on the "Eri should be Cinderella" bandwagon. Then Gaki could be prince. :heart:
That would be brilliant. I think I'd die a little and go to heaven if it happened. Seriously, so, so brilliant. :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
I would really love having Tanaka as Cinderella and Takahashi as the prince :wub:
-
I still hope Eri gets to be Cinderella :heart: The girl deserves to be a star for once... and Reina just doesn't seem to fit the Cindy character, imo XD
-
and Reina just doesn't seem to fit the Cindy character, imo
If Reina were Cinderella, her step-mother and sisters would have gotten hot cinders stuffed down their throat :lol:
-
Reina would be one Badass Cinderella.... one that's never been played before. They'll be lots of comedy if it happens.
I love the idea of the girls acting and playing in roles of fairy tales and romantic and love stories.
But i would also love for them to play a comedically. like a story of cinderella with lots of comedic twists and turns... and not just limited to fairy tales but modern story/anime/manga with lots of comedy/romance/action.
wouldn't we love to see them be in plays or dramas like Love Hina, Ichigo 100% and other harem storyline? i would with their sheer numbers of cute, sexy, amazing H!P girls. just a thought. everytime i watch a anime/manga/dramas/movies, i would think of how cool the girls are if they're in it.....
sadly, they're not given the chance....
-
I vote for Risa to be Cinderella. This would help her popularity, which she may need when she becomes the Morning Musume leader.
But Eri does make a nice Cinderella too. :3

at least some of them got voice acting and stage dramas
I vote for Risa to be Cinderella. This would help her popularity, which she may need when she becomes the Morning Musume leader.
yes I think so too. (Gaki is REALLY good @ Ribbon no Kishi !!! let her be in the focus !!!!!!!)
-
After more thought and consideration...
Koha should be the fairy godmother.
Think about it. She'd be excellent at being flighty and whimsical. :heart:
-

The godmother is actually her godmother in the musical, though, so she would have to be "older" and more mature... Koharu definitely doesn't fit that. I don't even think they could calm her down enough to do it :lol:
-
Niigaki would make a great Godmother~ she's got that motherly aura :lol:
For Cinderella... Airin already had the main role in RnK, Reina has an etablished yankii image, Junjun & Linlin are still new and they don't know enough japanese, Mitsui's new too (vocals have improved, but she's still got a long way to go), Koharu's voice is too weak to play a main role, and Gaki's already the godmother. So that leaves Kamei as Cindy :3 lol i wish.

I agree too ~~~~~
but according to some fans, "Though she initially earned acclaim and approval with her badass "yankii" personality, this died out and revealed a overly cute Tanaka who apparently has a winking problem. Oh, well. At least she's hot, they say."
LOL
to me, anyone can be Cinderella, but please select base on the voice , not anything else .....
-
Kamei - Cinderella
Ai-chan - Prince
Gaki - Godmother
.............
and i dunno who the other girls should play as since i've never watch this version of cinderella but those three right there should make an awesome cast and once the other girls get roles, it'll be one amazing musical, i hope.
btw, what the entire roles that is in this version of Cinderella? maybe that'll give me more insights as to role picking....
1. Cinderella (MM)
2. Prince (MM)
3. Stepmother (MM)
4. Stepsister 1 (MM)
5. Stepsister 2 (MM)
6. Fairy Godmother (MM or TR, but MM may be better)
7. Prince's attendent (MM)
8. King (TR)
9. Queen (TR)
10. court officials (which may be played by TR members)
11. servants (TR)
btw, sayu is stepsis1 and koha stepsis2, they were born for this.
maybe the takarazuka members would play the grown-up roles, aka king and queen (well of course...) but it'll be fun to see a MM girl in the role of evil stepmother.
-
luckly my school did the roger and hammerstein's version cinderella so i member most of the parts in the musical. i was part of the backstage crew lol :cool1:
*This is just an idea of what i think the Cinderella cast line up will be:*
4 Takarazuka members and morning musume
King: Takarazuka member
Queen: Takarazuka member
Fairy Godmother: Takarazuka member
Step-Mother: Takarazuka member
Cinderella: Ai Takahashi
Prince: Risa Niigaki
The Herald: Eri Kamei
Step-Sister (one): Reina Tanaka :luvluv1:
Step-Sister (two): Sayumi Michishige
Small Multiple Roles: Koharu Kusumi, Aika Mitsui, JunJun, and LinLin

Hm...does anyone else think that Reina would be extremely cute as that Jack mouse or whatever?
xD But that's not in this version of Cinderella, I think?

I think Reina'd be cute in any part. XD I don't even think the mice are in this version at all.
-
no there's no mice, only in the disney version lol.
-
I think Reina was born to be one of the step-sisters :twisted: and .. Kame too XD
Gaki has to be the Cinderella and Ai-chan the Prince :wub:
-
an ai/risa pairing in cinderella would be a DREAM COME TRUE!!! :luvluv1: :luvluv2: :mon inluv:
-
TakaGaki pairing :heart:
Would be a dream come true like you said to a lot of us :inlove:
-
I think that Ai just has to play the prince X3
Cinderella would have to be played by Eri! :heart:

looks like we got a couple of months before they announce the roles..or maybe they have already, but won't tell us ;)

They've probably just recently auditioned for the musical, and probably the girls themselves will hear the cast list soon or perhaps they have recently. They're currently doing their tour still, so I doubt we'll hear who's who until late May or early June.
-
As much as I think Reina will be great as one of the step sisters, I think it's highly possible that she will get a more significant role. My guess is Ai will be prince and Reina Cinderella. Of course I would go crazy with joy if it were a TakaGaki pairing. Or KameMame for that matter, with Eri being Cinderella and Gaki-san the prince.
-
looking over heres what i saw as pairings for cindi and the prince (first name is cindi)
1) Ai/Risa :wub:
2) Eri/Reina :wub:
3) Reina/Eri
4) Eri/Risa
5) Reina/Ai
6) Risa/Ai ?
-
TakaGaki would be realy great as the Cyndi and the prince..
:oops: :roll:

Although Ai plays an excellent role as a guy (or girl for that matter in a play) I think that it's only fair that she not be given a leading role as she was the lead in Ribon no Kishi. I also think that it would kind of be unfair is Reina was one of the leads as well since she and Ai have been taking the leads in a lot of recent songs. I think that Eri as Cinderella and Risa as the Prince would be amazing :wub: That's not only because I love GakiKame but also because they've been pushed into the background so they should get some more of the limelight. It would also give Eri some chance to be given the lead in something! She's never been the star of one of MM's songs! :banghead:
So in conclusion, GakiKame please! :wub:
-
I also like GakiKame *0*
Eri as Cinderella *-* :wub:
Gaki as Prince :wub:
Yep, like you said.. more chances for Eri :B
-
i can't wait till they annouced who playing who in the play!!
-
yep! I want to know!!!

2ch comment "Cinderella Hiphop" :lol:
-
LOL not sure how the look fits an idea of "Cinderella", but I'm loving the style!! At least looks like it won't be a ballad! *knocks on wood*
EDIT: And look how Aichan is pimpin' that hat! So *fierce~~*
-
Nice style, Ai chan rocks that pic with the pimp hat :heart: well at least 4 of them i know are great dancers so i´m expecting for a very catchy song full of energy.
-
Wow this unit just got really exciting! According to this http://www.tsunku.net/comments.htm the members that were chosen for this group not only can sing very well but can dance exceptionally well. The beat and tune of the song is very "punching" which is why its not called High Queen but High King or something like that :P
-
I like a lot how they look!!
They look awesome *-*
thank you for the tracklist :B
-
Yuuka sprained her ankle during a dance lesson so it's no doubt a fast-paced choreography. :lol:

Fuck yeah, Takahashi is so pimp.
Oh, and High-King will appear on Music Japan.
http://pid.nhk.or.jp/event/PPG0005962/index.html
Edit:
According to this, Takahashi will be playing Cinderella. :cow:

Where on the article does it say that?? 2ch is claiming that Ai-chan is going to play Cindy but its not for sure yet.

....Because it's in the Newspaper....

UFA is just full of surprises.[/sarcasm]
-
To be frank, I think the newspaper got ahead of themselves. It hasn't even been officially announced yet.
Takahashi is the most recognized member in the current lineup, and she played the protagonist last time so they're not totally off track, but it's just careless.
I'm not sure what newspaper the pics are from, but Sanspo doesn't mention anything.
http://www.sanspo.com/geino/top/gt200805/gt2008051515.html
-
Alright, I guess we can confirm this now, even Oricon has it.

Fuck yeah, Yuukarin!
Edit: And after checking the Sanspo article one more time, they actually mentioned it as well. :lol:

Maimi :heart: is a house :lol:
EDIT:
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20080515-00000001-maiall-ent
Takahashi plays Cinderella and Reina is Joy, the elder step-sister.
-
wow the pics are hot!!! :w00t: ai and reina especally!
is the lineup offical???? i kinda hoped that ai doesn't get cindy, since she already played the lead, and plus i imagined her better as the prince :D risa/ai paring all the way!! lol
-
If Ai is Cinderella (god damnit), then Risa has to be the Prince *prays*
Reina being one of the stepsisters...well that sucks!
-
Dude, Maimi!!! ROFL :heart: Although Captain is looking regular height here, so maybe this is a good group for her :P
-
http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08203/54592_200805140962759001210757341c584.jpg
lol Maimi XD
Kind of disappointing to see Ai as Cindy... I thought she would make a better prince (I still maintain Eri is most Cindy-like), but at least it's not Reina.
-
Maimi looks so tall. XD And I loooove Ai's hat. :heart:
-
http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08203/54592_200805140962759001210757341c584.jpg
Maimi :heart: is a house :lol:
And you want to move in? :wahaha:
-
Well no wonder they got Saki to be in this group! She's the best dancer out of all the H!P Kids. And just to pimp Captain even more, she's one of the few, if not only person out of the kids to do background harmonies for a song. :D
So yeah, this group kicks ass. :D
-
agreed that maimi looks a bit out of place. they at least should've chosen someone with the comparable height....saki c-ute.
aside from this ranting, it would be better if they 've placed maimi in the middle for a symmetrical composition. than the rest looks like her minions XD
promising style for this unit, can't wait for some previews~
-
It's not just that Maimi's tall, but they also gave her a hairstyle that makes her look even taller. It's like she's wearing a high crown. :lol:
The group description, especially about the dancing makes me excited to hear and see their single + PV :3
-
somehow Maimi breaks the balance... if they put other girl more shorty then it will look like a new minimoni XD
Ai as cinderella :heart: i wanted her for the prince role too... can´t she have both roles? XD nooo poor Ai too much work already for her.
-
Well no wonder they got Saki to be in this group! She's the best dancer out of all the H!P Kids. And just to pimp Captain even more, she's one of the few, if not only person out of the kids to do background harmonies for a song. :D
What songs did Captain do background harmony for?
-
She did Ai no Suki Suki Shisuu Joushouchuu from Berryz' 4th album. :D
-
i heard that the cast list is out and Takahashi Ai is Cinderella, is that true?
although i'm not suprise if she is.... but what about the others?
-
^yes that's what's been announced.
The only other one that's been announced is that Reina is the older step sister, Joy.
-
I've been in denial the last couple days. :sweatdrop: I kept telling myself its just a rumour. But Ai really is Cinderella, isn't she?
Kamechan, you'll always be Cinderella in my heart. :heart:
Haha, Reina is oddly perfect as a stepsister. I think she can pull off mean.

High King is the unit that makes the music for this musical, right? or Theme...
http://www.mediafire.com/?dlaz2weyk0h is this their single? I just grabbed it from the internets, dunno the title.
-
If that's the song, I am so beyond pleased with how awesome it is. I'm pretty sure I can pick out Maimi and Captain, so...
-
Yeah, I think I can pick out Maimi too, and Reina.
The file had the password "highking" where I originally DLed it so that's why I assume it's their song XD
Sounds good. A better quality version is needed tho :D
-
I can hear Aichan, Reina and Maimi ...
XD I really really dont like this song XD
It will probably be better with a better quality one~
-
Funny, because this is the best H!P song of the year for me already, HQ is going to slaughter me...
-
I freaking LOVE this. Next Resonant Blue, this is my favorite H!P song this year. I love this hip-catchy songs.
I bet this one will yield an awesome PV, too... especially if it's dance oriented like they said.
-
Wooo I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a little be worried because of the outfits I thought it was going to be something like 7 air but this sound is very new and fresh to H!P. Maimi's vocals really improved she sounded pretty good in this and I could hear Captain and Maeda here and there they needed more lines! Of course the main vocals went to Ai-chan and Reina and they sounded really good to. Na na na na na na give me love give me love! :heart:
-
I'll wait for the Dohhhup version. :/ Or a better quality rip.

I don't like the song. It's so boring. I don't think Maimi and Yuuka's voices fit the song too well, either.
H!P's having some really crappy releases this year. The only thing I really like is Resonant Blue and Namida no Iro.
-
oh i think Maimis Voice improving lately. But yeah whatever this Years for me the top Singles are RB and NnI, too :heart:
-
I like it, it sounds funkeeee!! Can't wait for better quality :3
-
is always the same, for some people is great and for others it sucks... well i need to say that i like it quite a bunch, is like those songs that at first you don´t feel it a lot but after a few plays it grows on you (well that´s what i think anyway)
can´t wait for the PV :heart: i´m sure it will be a low budget one but with a kick ass dance XD
-
oyg, I love it. Can't wait to see the dance.
-
If Ai-chan is Cinderella, and Tanakachii's the older stepsister, I pray that Gaki-san's the prince or something. >_< TakaGaki :wub:
The song is sheer awesomeness. I love it. :muffin:
-
OMG!! I like a lot the song!!! It's very cool!! I love it!
Thank you :B
-
the song's OK but dont really wanna judge from the lowQ rip... so i'll wait
really wanna see the dance :cow:
-
ooww reggaeton style~ i'm already imagining them hipshaking the whole song :lol:
as for the song, it's a bit plain, only the arrangement makes it stand out a bit.
-
If Reina's the older step sister, does that mean the other step sister is younger than Reina?? That would mean Linlin, Koharu or Aika?
Looking on the net the other sister is Portia but i can't tell which is older.
-
I don't know what to make of the song yet, I'll wait for a better quality version.
btw forgive my ignorance but who is this Yuuka??? is she an egg?
-
I dislike this style of music.. a lot. Even more annoying than RB.
I love the outfits, so the song is kinda disappointing for me.
-
btw forgive my ignorance but who is this Yuuka??? is she an egg?
Yes, she's an Egg.

ooww reggaeton style~
Just that makes me NOT want this single.....I come from a country were reggaeton is heard a lot, and I really, REALLY hate it. If this comparison is right, then I am one less buyer for this.
-
I really like what I'm hearing so far! I'm pretty sure the PV will make this solid for me.

Taka is looking PIMP. They managed to get Maimi looking a relatively normal height this time, congratulations :P
-
OMG!! :wub: :inlove:
I like it! They are very good!
I like the combination of the colors *0*
-
Praises to Captain too! :heart: She's really working it.
-
i really hope they release a PV soon!!!
-
The font reminds me of the Rolling Stone magazine. :lol:
Nice colours~
-
THEY LOOK LIKE HIP-HOP JAZZ QUEENS!
-
Reina and Ai own the Single V cover. If the PV is great, I might be persuaded into picking it up.. if Only I didn't dislike the song so much. I hope that'll change over time..
-
i loved the three covers :heart:
i wanna see the PV
-
This special unit sounds promising. the song sounds good, and seems like a interesting line-up and though i dunno much about Maeda Yuuka, but i'm intrigued now, She is CHOU-KAWAII!!!
-
Taka as Cinderella is awesome. And the High-King stuff sounds cool as well, Tsunku definitely switched it up for them.

Aika Mire (Takarazuka) will be the stepmother:

-
ok so:
Ai - cinderella
Reina- older step sister
and now the step mother is played by a Takarazuka member...
that leaves (just ideas for the remaining roles
the prince (hopefully Risa :wub: :wub:)
fairy godmother (maybe Takarazuka member)
king and queen (2 Takarazuka members)
the other step sister (sayu?? :dunno:)
the herald/prince's servant (Eri?)
other roles taken by the 7th and 8th generations :D

Holy shit that is wonderful! I don't like that kind of music, I don't like Takahashi/Tanaka leads, but this song has me loving all of that and Yuukarin is adorable! :heart:

Captain was looking fabulous! Hopefully this proves to UFA what a great singer AND dancer she is, and she gets more spotlight in Berryz. And awww at Yuukarin :heart:
Taka and Reina are as fierce as always!

Ok now that I've seen the dohhhup ver, Reina stands out, pwning the PV. :lol:
& This is probably the best Captain has ever looked, aye...
Love it! I also have a feeling that if there is a dance shot version of this PV, it will along with Elegies become one of my most watched dance shots. :lol:
-
that PV was fierce. It looks even better in HQ. The style really fits Reina. Maimi's dance was good even in the background. Captain's dancing was great, her other eye wasn't so wonky-looking this time <3, Taka touches herself too much (not that there's something wrong with that..), Yuukarin is adorable, looks like Nacchi/Airi/Momo (in that order).
Now, I don't see how this is related to Cinderella the Musical at all XD
-
High-King is just one messy salad... and it's too sour for my taste buds.
I like the feta cheese, but that's about it. And by feta cheese, I mean the silhouette part. It's Sexy Biscuit all over again! Oh, and by messy salad, I mean throwing together good dancers without regarding how different their voices are.
Still looking forward to a dance shot, though.
-
It looked badass, but the beat to the song was weak.
-
Reina just mentioned that she will be playing one of the step sis in cinderella in her dohhhup promotion clip.

You must have been really hungry when you posted this, eh dude? :P
-
What I heard was Ai-chan will be Cinderella (of course, lol) and Tanakacchii will be Joy, the older stepsister. ^_^
-
listening to the other song on the High-King single and its GOOD!!! :wub: Ai's solo is lovely! and the song gives like an anime kinda a feel (well for me anyways :D)

Best PV of the year.
Sorry Namida.

-
can't wait for the translations for both of these songs :wub:
-
I'm starting to like this song a bit more..
I think this unit would work better as a trio (Takahashi, Tanaka and Yajima). Like a Gomattou type feel, also because have a similar style.
-
Ok I really like this song! Yuuka has an adorable singing voice :heart: Am so buying this single once I start working!
-
Btw, about the name of the unit. Am I the only who keeps thinking:
"ハイキング は たのしかった ね~" :lol:
"High King" vs "(going) hiking" :P

I love c/w song! Yuuka's final solo line is :heart: Hey does anyone know when they will announcing more info on the play? So far we only know Ai-chan's role and Reina's.
-
i really hope they announced the other roles soon! i really want to know who is playing the prince! :D

Dohhh UP!High-King「C/C(シンデレラ\コンプレックス)」PV一部再編集 (Re-edited)
http://www.dohhhup.com/movie/FXPu7gazkrI5XDdBVVnmfLq9bx15kJvK/view.php
the PV has been re-edited in a few parts, like for example : when Reina puts up her two fingers (spinning parts has been removed), that has been changed to a dance shot closeup of Reina and part of Saki shot, and then into the dance instrumental.
any more changes?
so all the ones on Youtube already, you got a different one now.
-
Wow, the new one is like, double the badass with just subtle changes, and getting rid of that stupid round table.
But OMG, SAKI'S ADDITIONS! I swear, that pimp hat twirl. Oh lawd. <3
-
I love the new version, it makes me so much happier! :wub: This group totally needs to stop making me love it.
-
I liked the spinning part...thought it added more variety to the pv...

^thanks for posting.
I'm glad the dance shot is on the LE, because the dance shot is always my least favorite version of a pv and I was thinking about getting the single V.
-
thank you Nouciel :D
This song is very cool.. I want the singlee

The c/w is even more amazing than the a-side, imho. High-King should stick around, even though I know it probably won't :P
-
I love the bside =D It'd be perfect as an anime theme
-
i'm joining in the b-side love. :wub:
-
I was watching the dance shot last night, and! Captain is totally owning that choreography... Notice at the end that her vest is about to come off and she might be fixing it a bit, but it totally looks like a part of the dance. I wouldn't have even noticed, but I saw a screencap earlier where I saw that her vest was a bit off so I knew to look for it :lol: In any case, so professional~~
Actually maybe I shouldn't talk about owning yet, because I only watched the PV so far concentrating on Captain, Maimi and Yuukarin (it was late ok, I'll watch for Aichan and Reina in a bit). Maimi's dancing is so different from Cap'n, because her limbs are so long and stuff :lol: But she also does a great job. Yuukarin to me is the weakest dancer, but that's ok cuz she's a n00b. (I'd be interested to see how Konatsu would do with this choreography, I don't know a lot about dancing but to me she seems like the best dancer among the Eggs)
ANYWAY waow I love, love love the choreography (and how well the girls dance)!! I'll definitely be watching the dance shot over and over again... :3 NAAANANANANANAAA GIMME LOVE GIMME LOVE GIMME LOVE

As I said before, this style of music is not my thing, but I actually listen to this song a lot. The song is just so well executed; the beat, the attitude, the dance.. just awesome.
(and why didn't Reina end up higher in the hottest member ranking.. you all saw the C/C pv..)
-
I just watched the Music Japan performance. They showed some behind the scenes of the PV (including Captain taking a huge dive, ROFL) and then the awesome, awesome live :heart:
-
(and why didn't Reina end up higher in the hottest member ranking.. you all saw the C/C pv..)
:lol: Even though I love Reina, that PV still didn't make her smoking hot... Very Attractive though ;)
So I just got told that Gaki is the prince... I forgot to save the reference, but it was in Japanese and I don't know where she originally got that from... Might not be valid at all (she does like the trick me but usually tells me after) but hoping someone else hears about it soon if it is true.
-
^
I also read it on jpm(by ampedchoz )
sources coming in right now, saying that Niigaki Risa will play the Prince.
大阪の友人とランチした
彼は演出家で8月コマ劇場のミュージカル「シンデレラ」の演出をするので上京中
稽古の合間を見て会う
数年前宝塚の現役とOGでやはりコマで上演された
その時も彼が演出して面白いミュージカルに仕上がっていた
今度はモームスでやるので話が来たらしい
モームスは知らないが、シンデレラを高橋愛 王子を新垣里沙という子がやる
前回鳳蘭がやった妖精の女王を宝塚OGの麻路さき 継母を愛華みれ
王様を現役の箙かおる 女王を光あけみ
アンサンブルをヅカOGが受け持つ
-
Well there you go, she told me the truth for once :lol:
That would be a TakaGaki overload :imdead: :heart:
-
I so hope that's true :heart:
-
ooooh~(the sound i made when i read that)
Niigaki prince would actually just make my month(month of august that is)
-
question, how would u describe the style of music of C C?
I for one, would say it's upbeat, dance-orient, hip-hop influenced. but since i dunno much about evaluating music, i would like to see how others describe it...
btw, i like this song and all the members. Both Captains, Maimi and Saki, are my fav. from their respective groups. I love Takahashi and Tanaka as well, as they're 2 of my top 5 in MM. But who i'm really interesting is the totally adorable Egg, Maeda Yuuka. She just so cute.

That would be a TakaGaki overload :imdead: :heart:
Lol yeah, TakaGaki yay yay! :onioncheer: :mon crazyinlove:

I love HighKing. I can't help myself. It's so cool. It's like everything I ever wanted in an H!P group.
Plus the dance kicks all kinds of ass~

you're brazilian? me too! :grin:
yeah, this kind of music is apreciated in brazil, in a way.
I can't say High King is 100% reggaeton, but it does sound like it sometimes.
Gaki being the prince would be awesome! :cow:
-
i must admit the dance was quite good, and all 5 did it well
-
Did tsunku write the song or someone else did?
-
Tsunku wrote the song. He commented on the unit on his website, but did not say anything about the type of music other than "it's different". XD

ah that picture is a spolier for the episode!(the nama yaguchi) ;__;

The performances are lipsynced. x.x
Watching the HM@ perf one time already proved it. The mics they wore are fake and Reina and Ai sound too perfect for being live. It's pre-recorded audio. T_T Also, there's little to no breathing.
It's waaaay to early now. I'm going back to bed x.x
-
I thought the performance looked good, especially in HD. I don't really care where the sound comes from as long as the audio and video are in sync.

This unit will probably be a one shot deal right? because it's just to promote the musical? That would kinda suck..
I wish I could help with the chart position, but I'm waiting for the Single V to come out.
-
i love this group, but yeah... this will be a one shot unit
-
Finally listened to the B-side and OMG, as soon as the music started up I was ecstatic... Its sooo much like all the techno/dance bands I was addicted to before H!P took over my addiction... OMG it's awesome hearing that from them... TSUNKU PLEASE MAKE MORE SONGS LIKE THIS ONNNNNNNE! :w00t:

I want another single for High-King *0*, I really love the unit.. TT_TT why is a one shot unit?!! :cry:

^ Damn nice!
[youtube=425,350]CS0H-5Cu-u8[/youtube]
^ Hehe, for amusement purpose.
-
^what is that? who's the group and what's the song? they sound like some of H!P girls...
btw, congratulations to High-King. 27k can be consider good, rite?
-
^ :lol: the song is High King - Kioku no Meiro
-
High-King will be on Music Fighter July 4th.
http://tvstation.jp/special/artist/morning/morning.html
-
XD @ the CHASE video. I've had the misfortune of seeing that video before with the original song, and I can tell you that replacing that song with Kioku no Meiro is a huge improvement. CHASE can't sing and their song was boring. I'm not surprised they only released one single.
Congrats to High-King on getting #6. I didn't expect it would be #6, but they definitely deserve it.
A random note: Ai-chan looks a little like Koda Kumi in the C\C PV...maybe it's the hat...^^;;
-
A random note: Ai-chan looks a little like Koda Kumi in the C\C PV...maybe it's the hat...^^;;
now that u mention it... I do see a lil resemblance, but all due to the hat, i believe. She wears it the same way.
Ai-chan, though, seems shorter, more petite, and whiter than koda kumi...

The cast of the Cinderella is announcement on 29th June.

^Yes the wait will soon be over xD
Please tell me TakaGaki is Cindy/Prince for sure :heart:

I hope Kame will get a decent part. I really enjoy her talking voice.

It looks like a Cinderella CM
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tinybaka/hp/th_cincm.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tinybaka/hp/cincm.jpg)
edit: yay my 'leet'-est post!
-
:w00t: cool!!! and if you look closely you can see the members!!!! and the wacky hair color! lol
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tinybaka/hp/th_cincm.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tinybaka/hp/cincm.jpg)
So what are all those roles then again... Since it's supposedly based on this version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129672/), looks like Eri & Reina as step-sisters, Koha as captain of the guard (or maybe the steward), pandas as guards (maybe), but what are those green hippie faery uniforms Aika & Sayu are wearing? King's steward, chef, town crier, tailor... ponderi.
I bet there are some new and unique supporting roles. Wardrobe looks kinda lulz though.
Here's hoping for lots of cindy/prince action in this version! :w00t:

Ai looks beautiful here <3
Wow lotsa wacky hairstyles! :D
Let's see, from what I can see it:
Ai- Cinderella (of course lol)
Gaki- Prince (HOMG I swear, I got a nosebleed when I saw her :bleed eyes:)
Eri- Stepsister 1
Sayu- Fairy...Thing? XD
Reina- Stepsister 2
Koharu- Guard I guess?
Aika- Fairy thing
Junjun- Guard
Linlin- Guard
I hope there will be some Panda comedy if they're guards. lol

^Thank you for uploading~ *downloads*
omg I just remembered something, In my MM fairytales fan fic, Eri and Reina were the stepsisters. IRONIC :O
-
This so looks like its gonna be lots of fun and a bundle of laughs! I really can't wait :w00t:
And *melts* at the last pic on the middle row :heart:
-
Thanks for the upload!
I can't control my squeaky-happy feelings seeing the Prince and Princess~~ :wub:
This can't come soon enough~
-
Ne ne, i just thought of something. Since Sayu and Aika are dressed as fairy things, maybe they're Ai's Fairy Godsisters?
-
The wigs are kinda funky. Especially the green and pink ones :P But overall I think this would be a good production. I can't wait!! I can't imagine how I will survive while waiting for the DVD to be released. It's still so far away :( Did I mention I'm super thrilled that this is TakaGaki? Ai + Risa = Win :muffin:
-
So the entire cast list will be revealed on the 29th? Can't wait for that. After little tidbits being dropped here and there, finally something official.
Being unfamiliar with the R&H version of Cinderella, what are the main big roles of this version? Obviously Cindy is the main role, but how big are the roles of say, the Prince and the stepsisters? I only know the Disney version, and well it's Disney :P
-
I've seen the version with Brandy in it. Yeah the Prince and the stepsisters are equally as big as Cindy. I haven't seen it for a while, so I don't remember it as well. ^^;
-
I've seen that same special with Brandy, along with an earlier TV version of it from the 60s. It's been a while since I've seen those but I remember that the songs were really catchy (even now I still remember some of them XD). I'm looking forward to hearing who the other cast members are.
-
wow, my school just did a play on the RH version of cindy just this last fall. but yeah the prince and step sisters are kinda big parts. by the one roles that are confusing me are Sayu's, Aika's, Jun2 and Lin2. :?
-
wow gaki's a very pretty prince, Cindy's really pretty too~
so it looks like Reina and Eri are sisters
Jun and Lin are guards
and Sayu and Mitsui....are forest creature thingies......ecomoni...fairies?
-
Well, someone has to be the Fairy Godmother, but I'm guessing that she's not prominent in all versions of the story...?
-
^
Well, remember that they are also working with members of Takarazuka Revue... so I imagine one of their women will be the fairy godmother (as well as the stepmother).
-
in the CM the king queen fairy godmother and stepmother are played by the Takarazuka members.
-
Gaki = Best prince EVER! I hope she gets alot of line cause she got like one in RNK. I hope it's as good though & I hope next play Someone other than Takahashi gets the lead. Yeah she is the best singer But Reina Koharu & Eri & alot better now than they wer two years ago & could really use some spotlight.
-
wow gaki's a very pretty prince, Cindy's really pretty too~
so it looks like Reina and Eri are sisters
Jun and Lin are guards
and Sayu and Mitsui....are forest creature thingies......ecomoni...fairies?
Haha yeah, ecomoni v.2! XD
But on wiki, it said the Takarazuka members are going to be King, Queen, Stepmother, and Queen of the Fairies. :?
So they're is three fairies? O_o
-
YAYY!! TANAKAMEI STEPSISTERS? *0*
I'll die XDDD
TakaGaki looks very cute like prince and cinderella, gaki really looks so pretty :drool:
thank you XD
-
i want to see the musical :mon scare:
Takagaki~~ Risa look gorgeous like prince :mon inluv:
Haha yeah, ecomoni v.2! XD

The official Cinderella the Musical Blog has opened: http://blog.livedoor.jp/cinderella_musical/
It was not functioning entirely correctly. When I came there I was greeted with several login prompts. After ignoring/canceling them all the blog opened - without the usual artwork. The only message, besides a test message, said we could expect various informational details and cast comments.
-
^warning if you're in tabbed browsing it's difficult to close cuz the pass-box won't disappear.
edit: anyone else think gaki-prince looks like yui(okada) in the HQ pic of the advert?
-
^ Yeah, I thought so too when I first saw the CM... Maybe it's the hair, or the shape of their faces, that are kinda similar. Weird, cause normally Gaki and Yui don't look alike at all :lol:
-
:bleed eyes: GAKI-SAN!!!
Ohhh God! she looks so gorgeous :heart:
still girly to me, but who cares she's the prince anyways XD
TakaGaki pair is just lovely, gorgeous, fairy and beautiful :inlove: xD
-
^^lol from the thumbnails I was thinking, "Why is Yui there but not Gaki? O_o" but when I saw the actual CM, I was like "...*facepalm*"
-
yep... Gaki looks girlie and she's the prince.. XD
but she don't look bad like prince, no one looks bad *0*
-
yep... Gaki looks girlie and she's the prince.. XD
but she don't look bad like prince, no one looks bad *0*
i think that Gaki look dsadasd gorgeous dsdasddas :drool:
actually, i like takitty too... :roll:
and the fairies XD
-
About the high-king single.. is it just me or is this single recorded with a really low volume? Whenever the song comes along on my iPod I have to turn the volume up, because it's so much lower than all my other songs. Same with the video.. you really need to turn it up.
-
Yeah same with me, but the b-side is the lowest for me. :/
-
I'm going to check :O
Edit:
Well, i checked it and i don't think is with a low volume, or maybe i don't notice it xD
-

^I didn't notice it.
Although I still feel that Egao YES Nude & Sayonara no Kawari ni is lower. =P
-
The volumen is ok.. I don't think the volumen is low :B, I compare with other songs, and I think is the same :B
I have the single in 320.. maybe you have in 192?.. Check it :B
-
With the actual CD I have no problems either.

They all look so cute~ :wub: I can't wait to see them all in action. I like the bright tacky wigs and outfits.
Prince and Cinderella look so lovely~~ :heart:
I don't know what came over me, but I didn't recognize Koharu in there. I'm ashamed of myself.
-
i'm not saying this to be mean or anything.... but Koharu kind of sticks out like a sore thumb.
and what's with the light blue hair on sayu and mittsi?
The wicked stepsisters, Kamei Eri and Tanaka Reina, is dare i say.... WICKED HOT!!!
Ai-chan looks beautiful as a princess and Risa looks Lovely for a prince.
overall good.... very.... Colorful, with a kind-of-a-pale shade, which matches the time, i think the settings is like Renaissance-like. Really reminds me of the Cinderella starring Brandy...
ok so when's the musical starts? how many times with it be performed and where?
oh yah, is there gonna be a soundtrack out soon?
-
^ It starts on the 6th August and is being performed at the Koma Theatre in Shinjuku. 33 Performances altogether.

I kinda knew either Sayu or Aika will be the fairy, lol
Wait, if Sayu's going to be the fairy, what's Aika going to do? Understudy? O-o
-
^Those are just a few that are named. Notice reina's not listed there and neither are junlin.
They're both working equally together with the takarazuka playing the older fairy.(one would assume)
-
I guess Takarazuka has/hired the same costume designer they had for Ribbon no Kishi because they are in exactly the same style. Compare the guard uniforms. XD I'm totally in love with Risa's hair, though.
And I couldn't imagine 35 performances. I'm used to like, week long runs and then it's over, haha.
-
horrible wigs on some of the girls..why the blue wigs? :O
-
^ I like the wigs. :lol: They're really bright and colorful. And they're fairies, so why not blue wigs? It makes them look fairy-ish. :P
-
I like the wigs too! Especially eri's!

I thought the middle of that poster was takagaki overload. The play is probably going to make me fall over from the amount of Takagaki that will be in it. D:
-
is Gaki really that taller than Ai? i thought they were about similar height?
-
About the same yeah (153/154cm). Guess they're making her seem taller to fit the part better.

Cinderella is a very nice history :B

As much as I can't wait to see their preformance, I'm also scared a bit as of the love it will make me feel. I'm so glad it's real though.
This truly is a dream come true for us in the TakaGaki wagon.

I've seen the Event DVD and this Maeda Yuuka kid is not bad at all.
She's cute and dance well, a good unpolished gem.
-
Found another clip of rehersal:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wLQBnnjnEI&feature=related
Oh god, some more TakaGaki love somewhere in the middle. <3 By the way, the Takarazuka person that was with Takahashi and Niigaki, is she playing the stepmother or the fairy? At first I was thinking stepmother from the first clip, but then I thought she might be the fairy... :?
-
You can see how truly tiny Takahashi is in that video. Gaki isn't much better, and is gonna be one tiny prince. XD
-
she's the queen of faires aka the fairy god mother
-
Yeah you can hear her sing the japanese version of "Impossible" ... which they changed to "Ikinari"
gahh i want to see the rehearsal for "do I love you because you're beautiful" :wub:
-
^ Me too! And "10 Minutes Ago." Oh and I wanna see the full TakaGaki dance so bad. OMG that twirl :wub:
-
I can't wait for this! Seeing segments from rehearsals makes me really excited to see the real thing. I think it's going to be really good. I wonder though how it will stand up against Ribbon no Kishi, which had Mikitty, Yossie, and Rika in it... which made it epic. But I love this version of Cinderella, so I feel really positive about it. :)
-
well yeah, Ribbon no Kishi was more epic, i think this musical is more cute? with gorgeous starring roles *TakaGaki* :heart:
-
^ yep, this musical is more cute, Cinderella history is so cute *-*.. gorgeous starring roles YEAAAH *0*, TakaGaki and TanaKamei stepsisters *0* :3, I want to see this musical :B
-
I think by choosing TakaGaki for Cindi and the Prince they made it a given for some people to like it regardless of everything else in it :P
I don't expect it to really match up to Ribbon no Kishi as they are so different... but I would like them to be even more improved with their acting now (excluding 8th gen of course), so that's what I will be looking out for :)

I think Gaki and ai-chan as the leads was a very good idea. Love the way Gaki looks in the poster

I justy noticed, isn't that Junjun and linlin in the background at 0:15-17 and 1:02? I know one of them's Linlin for sure... Anyways, great video! *saves to overstuffed Cinderella folder*
Lol from the pictures of Ai with Reina and Eri, I wonder if they're secretly enjoying treating their leader like that. xD
-
^ We know Reina is, anything to get that leader spot :P
Gaki is really gonna need to get rid of those nails :lol: Otherwise thats a VERY metro prince ;)
-
^Well that prince is strange from the very beginning of it. So she could keep the nails. :hee:
-
here's a compilation of those pics, thanks to sevii from H!O:

I have a vision, a joint pb for Takagaki. Called something Cinderella-y.
Probably never gonna happen but...... :inlove:
-
^ I would buy that without hesitation :P
And yes, I am praying for that too :lol:
-
You know, the old musicals used to have pb releases. Morning Town and Love Century both had them. I don't know why they stopped doing it for RnK. I would definitely buy a pb with rehearsal pics of the Cinde musical regardless of whether it was purely Takagaki. I've been dreaming about a pb with just Takagaki for the longest time. I doubt it would really happen though. *sigh*
-
^
Maybe something about rights or also working with the Revue. The other musicals were purely H!P (yes?) and RnK and this are actually well produced with a real company. It seems they are treating them more like actual musicals/plays now, actually.
...Though that would be pretty cool.

@lil_hamz. There was a pamphlet for Ribbon no Kishi. I tried bidding on this one on YAJ. But the seller wouldn't accept bids from Crescent so I missed out.

Is this the type of thing you meant?
really pissed off as that sold for 17,000 yen and I was willing to pay up to 24,000 yen for it :angry:
-

Holy crap! That thing is beautiful!!!!
Aww, I wish you could have won it. :(
Anyway, a Takagaki PB would be the BEST!! Don't have to be Cinderella, just something!!!!! :lol:

-
Reina and Eri's expressions in those pics are just great, they look like they've got their roles down. :P
And Koharu's banner... I'm sure they just picked some interesting looking English to write on it since its not really meant to be read. Still though, how random.
-
Great pictures, thanks. The expressions are great too and Eri's face is just :on lol:
And Regent's right, since if you go to the musical, you won't see that banner close, and you won't be able to red anything. You will only see beautiful scriptures, and think that there's something interesting written.
Damn... I want to see the musical more and more with every picture and rehearsal video I see... :farofflook:

OMG!!!!!!!! This thing would be awesome to own. I wished you won it, I know you're treat it well :) This is a pamphlet though and I actually meant a real, full-blown PB. Kinda like the document PB the kids concert had.
Great pictures, thanks. The expressions are great too and Eri's face is just :on lol:

Tell me about it. I was getting so anxious waiting for the anouncement of the DVD. I'm so glad it will be released for pre-order (I think)on the 20th of August. It's still a long way off but at least now we're sure a DVD will be in the works. I hope it comes with a rehearsal DVD (loads of TakaGaki and KameMame moments please :P), something like the RnK one except without the graduation bit *prays*
-
It says on the CtM blog that the recordings will be on August 20. (link (http://blog.upf-web.com/cinderella_musical/?p=50)). It doesn't say anything about the release date yet.
But the good news is there will be a DVD release! Yay! :D
-
Well this is definitely good news! Yay for DVD :cow:
-
I knew they'd be releasing a DVD (after all, they did release one for 'Ribon no Kishi'), nonetheless, still happy to hear it! :D
-
:cow: at least a change to see it on DVD (hopefully like the other available via Amazon)

Lol... I watched all 13+ minutes of them standing there, not understanding much of the dialogue other than the generic "Come to the show, it will be fun" statements. Shows you how much I'm anticipating this I guess. :sweatdrop:
-

As for the translation .. it was translated as the script was on the blog before this conference was put on dohhup:
taken from H!O:
Sakai Sumio [Director/Stage Adapter]
In 2002 I directed a "Cinderella" musical with a Cast of the Takaradzuka OG, this time I was a little worried about how to present it. I didn't know in such things like Morning Musume. I was especially worried about the male roles... But when we got into practicing, I realized that my worries were for naught... We had cute male roles theres. I felt like I was watching the way the Takaradzuka's started. There I felt the origin of the Takaradzuka was in family musicals so I felt we should aim for that. When we started the Takaradzuka and the Morning Musume melded together just like that, it felt like we all have our eye on the same thing. I feel that the Morning Musume have a magnificent energy. We're trying our best to take in that youth.
Takahashi Ai [Role of Cinderella]
We had co-starred with the Takaradzuka's in 2006's "Ribbon no Kishi the Musical" but, this time we all get to work together with several of the Takaradzuka OG so I'm really happy. As practice progresses there's a lot of things to learn. Until we start performing I'll continue doing my best to make this musical wonderful so please look forward to it.
Niigaki Risa [Role of the Prince]
This time, as the role of the prince, I have to act and walk the exact opposite of how I normally do things, and in addition to my posture and speech, I have to study various things like how I could boyishly lead Ai-chan in the role of Cinderella while in the midst of practice. I'm doing my best practicing so that I can be a cool Prince by the time we start performing so, I want everyone to be looking forward to it.
Kamei Eri [Role of Portia]
Portia is the younger of the older sister's who torment Cinderella but,
she's not only an egotistical sister, "if it's this kind of cute egotism I'll be heard," thinking that's how it is, I'll do my best now. After that for the singing part, it isn't just singing, I have to do my best so that the style of speech can be heard and I'm practicing my singing. Just like that I want you to notice it too.
Michishige Sayumi [Role of a fairy]
This time Sayumi plays the role of a fairy but I originally wanted to be a fairy so when I got the part I said, "Yosha~!" and did a victory pose. Also, a new challenge I have this time, I'm challenged with flying together with Mitsui Aika-chan who has the same fairy role. I like high places so I'm really looking forward to it. Please everyone look forward to it too.
Tanaka Reina [Role of Joy]
I'm in the role of Cinderella's tormenting older sister. When faced with this role, I want to play the role so that everyone who sees me thinks, "Is she really like that!?" I want people to notice my glare when I'm ordering Cinderella around (smile). I want to be able to really be the role, I want you to notice it.
Kusumi Koharu [Role of the Herald]
The role of the Herald is a male part but, Koharu's normal voice is high so when I let out the tone of a male voice, it sounds like anpanman (the character) (smile), so I want you to notice that. The herald is an accurate role so, I want to be able to perform that well.
Mitsui Aika [Role of a fairy]
My Manager asked me, "Are you ok with high places?" and when I responded, "It's fine, I want to fly~!" the next day my wish came true so I'm happy. With the same timing as Michishige-san, we whirl and spin and after this we're going to continue getting practice with that so I definitely want people to notice that. I'll do my best so please look forward to it.
JunJun [Role of a page]
It's my first time doing a musical so I'm really nervous but, I'm doing my best practicing my speech in Japanese and my songs as well. Everyone please give us your support.
LinLin [Role of a page]I'm really happy that I came to Japan and that I'm able to perform together with my Sempai and all the Takaradzukas. Playing a male role is a new challenge for me so I plan to do my best. Please look forward to it.
Asaji Saki [Role of the Queen Fairy (Fairy Godmother)]
In addition to the Morning Musume-chan's Challenges, for me this is my first experience playing a woman in a performance so I've also got the similar mark of a beginner and I will do my best. When where together in the practice hall and they're erupting with youthful energy, everyday is fresh. Everyone from Morning Musume are such sweet members that seems like they've come flying out from cartoons so, certainly I hope you will please come and watch.
Hikari Akemi [Role of the Queen]
Sakai-sensei said so some ago but, really mysteriously enough the Morning Musume had melded with us, that from the beginning I had wondered, "were they Takaradzuka students?" since everyone was practicing so harmoniously. We're practicing hoping that we can convey the importance of love between parents and children and married couples which is a contemporary issue in the world to the audience. Please kindly look forward to it.
Ebira Kaoru [Role of the King]
Continuing after "Ribbon no Kishi" Two years ago, I'm very grateful and happy to be working together with the Morning Musume this time as well. This time I will play the role of King as well, receiving the role of Risa-chan's father. Accompanied by the underclassmen who have left the Takaradzukas, to very end I want enjoyably perform. Please kindly look forward to it.

I gotta remind people who read my translation from H!O that I'm no exper in the japanese language!! I can't emphasize that enough... thats why I'm usually invisible...whether in name or as a guy ><.
Looks like by the menu at least the DVD mag will be nice and interesting... I was wondering if we'd see somethig... if I remember right ribbon had that video of them all things i their tux-esque costumes and staring at the scene.
The little bits and pieces look good too! Wonder what people (both wota and people who went just to see it) think of the whole thing.

LOL sorry invis..
I'll make sure i'll mention that that the next time I post one of your translation . :P

Did anyone here see the musical? Is it as good as i hope it to be?
-
I went to tonight's show at 4pm. Sat Row 11 Seat 30's. On the left side of the venue.
I found the show to be quite enjoyable. After seeing MM live at concerts, this was a completely change of pace. I found it to be quite refreshing for me since I stopped following them religiously since last year. For all you Risa/Ai shippers, all I can say is rejoice. XD They really do make a cute couple. XD
Both Ai's and Risa's performance really amazed me. Musicals really show what Ai can do. She can sing, dance, and act. It really puts her ballet skills to use I found and her voice was pleasant to listen to. I hope she can do more musicals. Risa played the prince role well too, despite the tall platform boots she had to wear. Every time I saw those shoes I would start to snicker. lol It was really high and ridiculous, but she did have to be taller than Ai. XD She sang low for her parts and at times you can tell it was really forced, but overall she did a good job. Sayumi and Aika really had minor roles. I can't remember if they sang any lines that weren't part of the chorus. And I felt that Koharu is sometimes to "genki." lol She did her part ok, but just... hmm...can't quite place my finger on it. Jun Jun and Lin Lin managed to get one line each for the entire play.
The props they had for the stage was much better than what I thought it was going to be. They even had a carriage come down from the ceiling. That was pretty cool. And then all the floor moves in order to help move the props. That was pretty cool too. XD
Mini concert at the end was nice. Some of the wotas took out their glow sticks. All the songs were cut short. After they sang, Takarazuka also sang some songs. Overall, I enjoyed the play. If I could see it again, I would. New love for Ai, Risa, and Takarazuka. They are cool. :heart: I suggest any of you in Japan to check it out if you have time and the money. I'm glad to spent it. It was a fitting end for my time in Japan as my first concert was H!P. XD
Anyways, it's bed time for me. Nice long flight ahead of me tomorrow! Thanks for all the adventures these past 2 years, Japan! Until next time!
-
^ I would almost jump on a plain and go see the play myself :)
Thanks for the review!
-
In the finale songs, Aichan sounds like she's holding back. I guess she needs to save her voice for the real show. She's not growling and just singing... with a musical voice.. O.o o.O

TAKAGAKI LOVE!! :heart:

even more takagaki love!
-
Thanks for the great review, Fenrir!! Sounds like you had a good time!
I am for sure buying this when it comes out. Money will not be a problem!!! :mon determined: All the Takagaki-ness is :mon inluv: Those red finale outfits... :mon blood:
-
Thanks for the review and pictures! I want to see this even more now! Risa and Ai are so cute in these costumes :wub: Don't know when the dvd will come out - though I do know that this won't happen soon... :fainted:
-
I dragged my husband to see it today. It was great! We were in the 30th row, but we brought binoculars, LOL.
Ai and Risa really did great. But of course the Takarazuka troupe are just pros, the dance numbers were really amazing.
Without binoculars, I could totally tell when JunJun and LinLin said their lines XD XD
and today Koharu seemed to flub a line. I didn't understand it, but my husband said she said something incomprehensible, and then the rest of the scene they were making fun of her XD I'll have to see the DVD for the real story. It was during the scene when they bring the glass shoe to the stepmother's house.
Yes, I'm pretty sure Aika and Sayu's line count was 0, slightly below JunJun/LinLin.
Koharu sang with such a deep and powerful voice I was surprised at first, but then I realized it's most likely Koharu/JunJun/LinLin singing.
The live was great, those red costumes, and the Takurazuka finale was great too! And what really amused me was how the wotas made up a "clap pattern" for their songs too. Wotas can be really polite sometimes! Even though they came to see Momusu they still show the love to the OGs. They did that at the Miki/Horiuchi Okitegami event too.
After the curtain call, the curtain came up one more time and Ai greeted the audience, thanking them for coming on such an important day (Obon) which got a laugh from the audience) and to be careful in the summer heat, etc. And then the curtain came up one last time and it was a little talk with LinLin, JunJun, and Koharu. LinLin told a story about a "jiken" (incident, which made the other members laugh) with her trumpet and how she accidentally hit herself in the nose with it during a performance, and then JunJun........oh, JunJun, she tried to explain something, but she totally got lost in translation....Aika stepped in and saved her with a "I think this is what our friend is trying to say" type thing. And through this for some reason Reina was just freaking out, LOL, it was hilarious watching her react. And then Koharu just talked about her manly voice and a little "I'm going to work hard!"
I was really happy to see JunJun speak though...but poor thing, I totally know how that feels to try and explain/tell a story in Japanese and not being understood. And then you try and backtrack and re-explain but it just gets more complicated and difficult. I really hope she doesn't take it too hard. And she was wearing a jacket for her costume during the live, I didn't see if she had a pain relief strip on her back.
-
Really much thanks to you for your review (and for Fenrir's too) !
:kneelbow:
-
I'd really like to here a little more from someone about how Eri and Reina did in the show as the stepsisters. :) But thanks for the reviews and pictures, everyone.
-

Hmm... I felt that they both did a wonderful job. Reina definitely had the attitude to play the mean stepsister. She felt mean. Eri, on the other hand, was mean too, but she did it in such a cute way that it took a little mean-ness away. lol Maybe it was from all the other times seeing them that made me see it in that view, but... maybe ShoujoHino can add more. To sum up, they were awesome in singing and dancing. :) A nice supporting cast.
-
I want to see it sooooooo much :depressed:
But I sure will get the dvd!

Sometimes I feel that they cast them to practically act themselves. lol I wish they could be challenged a bit more.

Haha, so true. XD But at least they got challenged a bit more than poor Junjun, Linlin, Aika, and Sayumi. :O
-
My husband kept asking "Are they really singing? Are you sure?", because they were much better than he expected.
-
^
Surprising how much better they all sound when they're not singing while being (slightly) winded from dancing. :P
-
^Yup - that's because when they dance - they need more air to sing - thus making singing a bit more difficult...
Can't wait 'till the dvd... if it's ever going to be released :banghead:
-
I wrote this over on H!O, but I thought I'd write it here aswell.
Just watched the first of the two final days performances. AND by the end of the first act...
I CAME!!!
-
^ Now THAT is the best review we've heard so far XD XD XD :lol: :w00t:
-
^ Short, sweet and too the point!
Ok. Here's a (not so quick) 1 2 on the final FINAL performance.
3rd row!!! HELLZ YEAH! Left side of stage BOO!... Thought it was gonna be shit but it soooooooooooo wasn't. Rocked up in my Risa t-shirt coupled with Risa and Ai wristbands. From where we were sat you could see where everyone one was looking, even if they were stood over the otherside of the stage. It was that close.
Koharu comes out in her first scene on stage *enter stage left* turns around to face the audience and say her line, looks right at me and gordie, stares at us for like 3 seconds kinda like 'OMG WTF Gaijin!!!' so funny...I lol'd. I don't think we got any further looks from her. She obvioulsy doesn't like foreigners :( Sayumi noticed us too in the same scene (it's 'The Prince is having a ball' scene me thinks) and I got a lot of looks from her for the rest of the Musical. I felt kind bad that I had none of her stuff...She has moved up in my rankings lately, not because of this. But that totally bumped her up even more. She did look at me a lot. Everytime she was over our side of the stage, and during the mini concert. You will never replace Gaki-san Sayumi...but you're fighting with Ai at the minute!!!
Everyone was having so much fun in the last performance. So much Ad Lib'ing as well. Lin Lin done an OskaraReina(sp) and Jun Jun did a Kame Hame Ha (when they went to Cinderella's house for the sisters to try on the glass slipper). When Cinderella's step mother was trying on the slipper, she was flirting like mad with Koharu LOL In the earlier performance she was sucking her finger suggestively, then touched Koharu on the cheek with it XD So Koharu rubbed her cheek and wipped it on Reina's arm I think. Reina was not happy!!! But in the final performance, she grabbed Koharu's face and pretended to kiss her. Koharu was all :O
Reina and Eri were pissing about so much in their scenes. Doing Dragon Ball moves at each other, compete with OTT reactions whilst sat at the table. Also when they had to argue at one point they had a mean stare out competition. The step mother was quite funny throughout the whole thing. At one point when the step mother and the stepsisters were ordering Cinderella about before they went to the ball, the step mother was being crazy. Ai had to put what they wanted in their hands. So she asked for her glasses (the ones they hold up to their eyes) and put her hand up as far as she could reach so Ai had to jump to get it in her hand :lol: Then she asked for her bouquet and she span around and around when Ai was trying to give it too her. I think she wanted Ai to run around with her, but Ai was deathly serious throughout the whole Musical, and just stood there and timed her thrust right. She managed to get it in her hand which was pretty good.
Like I said though. Ai was so serious throughout the whole thing. She didn't play any jokes on anyone and if they played them on her she didn't really laugh. Just tried to be so professional. Risa as well, Risa reacted to a few of the things thrown at her. But kinda brushed it off and carried on being princely. I remember the King hugging her at one point and the whole audience laughed and she was all WTF? smiled slightly then carried on as normal. Very serious.
During the second act Gaki was over our side of the stage at one point (she spent a lot of time at either side), emoting crazily about the person who the slipper belonged to and we had eye contact a few times. My heart was working overtime and I wanted to look away but forced myself not too. It was a serious stare as well because she was having some intese convo with the Queen :heart: That was when I started to fly to Gaki heaven. Something that happened later delivered the final blow...
Mini concert!!!
During one of the songs (I think The Peace) Risa came over our side and waved at us with a huge Gaki grin on her face, so we waved back. That was a huge ass highlight. Like WOAH!!! We were the only one's in the first maybe 8 rows our side wearing Gaki t-shirts so I know it was directed at us.
umm...Right at the end, when they were all saying their bits, like and MC. Jun Jun was the furthest MM member over our side, stood right in front of us, so I waved at her and she waved back :D
Gaki was the first to start crying at the end, followed by Ai. That was even before they started the MC. It was when they came out a few people at the time to get cheers from the crowd. Then surprisingly Jun Jun was crying quite a bit :cry: I wanted to hug her... They raised the curtain about 6 times because no one would leave the theatre XD Everytime Risa and Ai had to say something like 'Thanks for coming', and the last time I think they said something like 'for the final time, thank you for coming'. I decided to hear it as - 'Thanks for coming, now GTFO!'.
Most people stood in the theatre a good 15 minutes more after they closed the curtain for the final time, and they were all doing wota shouts. I tried to join in with a few which was cool. I don't know if MM could see through the cutain though, but because we were so close to the front we could see their feet under it, and they stayed there until the Ushers started to force us out. If they could see us then I'm really happy, because the people in the first two rows had left and I was there attempting to do wota shouts. I would be happy if that gave them a laugh. Especially my Oyasayumin shouts 'OYASAYUMIN *clapclap clapclap clap* (I think that's how the claps went).
Mistakes...umm...The Herald and Pages first scene (where Koharu looked at us), Jun Jun came out too early, trumpet in hand. Ai was still on the stage the other side and Jun Jun's looking off at Lin Lin and Koharu (who still aren't on stage) and had a look like 'fuck' on her face. I thought she was going to cry LOL. I don't think there was anything else. Because all the rest was ad lib's.
Oh Oh. I will say one other thing. To all the TakaGaki and GakiKame fans. I think Risa 'is da man'! During all her scenes with Ai she was holding her so tight when dancing, and when they hugged (after Ai tried on the slipper), she was hugging her really tightly. She actually stopped the hug briefly so she could pull her in a bit tighter. I was like :nosebleed: Also with Ai, I said this on H!O, everytime Risa had to take Ai's hand, she would run her fingers down her arm first, before holding her hand. Every freaking time!!! I thought I was gonna die of bloodloss.
Where does GakiKame come in to this. Well...at the end when they did there little speeches (the MM only MC). Eri was stood my side of Risa and the whole time she was talking, Risa didn't take her eyes off of her. When al the other members were talking she would look away occasionally, or just didn't look at them at all. But her eyes were glued to Eri. Even when Eri bowed they followed her. That's love right?...I think it is...
Oh crap. This review was not planned so I may write something a lot better and blog about it. But I'm on a musical high. I've spent so much money on H!P / Risa goods these last 2 days it's crazy. I'm surprised the girls on the goods stand didn't ask for a H!P points card (yes there is such a thing) because I think I've been to the stall over 10 times. It has to be way more then that, more closer to 20 I think. No lie.
Well...I'm gonna end this review here. I need to shower because wota-ing at 2 performances in a row is sweaty work. And I want to go and eat and get drunk!!!
I will leave you with this though...
RISA'S AB'S ARE FOOKING HAWT!!! 3rd ROW FTMFW!!!
I think she's getting Eri and Ai sex. Maybe on a rotation. Ai mon, Eri tues, Ai weds etc etc (was that going too far? do I care? not at all!)
-
^ :lol: You know I love you right? :heart: XD
Hellz yeah, 3rd row FTMFW... Koha was probably just stunned and nervous with you strange creatures there, whereas Sayu was fascinated by you like you're her fave animal at a zoo... I repeat, Sayu was fascinated by you :o Oh man :mon blood:
That final performance sounds so incredible and fun, how awesome it would have been for you to be there :w00t:
Wooow, Gaki intense eye contact AND a wave/smile, no wonder you had a memorable time there :P
Also with Ai, I said this on H!O, everytime Risa had to take Ai's hand, she would run her fingers down her arm first, before holding her hand. Every freaking time!!! I thought I was gonna die of bloodloss.
:mon inluv: :mon lovelaff: :mon blood: :mon bleed2:
As for the Risa staring at Kame-chan... Maybe Kame had something on her face :mon dunno: But yes that's love :roll:
Now I can't wait for the mini concert just for Gaki abs XD :mon crazyinlove:
I think she's getting Eri and Ai sex. Maybe on a rotation. Ai mon, Eri tues, Ai weds etc etc (was that going too far? do I care? not at all!)
Do we care? HELL NO!!!
-
Lolli : thank you for your review (and most of all, as a gaijin too, I can understand your feeling :P) !!
Now waitin' for Risa abs proof in the dvd :jerk:
-
I think she's getting Eri and Ai sex. Maybe on a rotation. Ai mon, Eri tues, Ai weds etc etc (was that going too far? do I care? not at all!)
Do we care? HELL NO!!!
Well, we do sorta care...in the fact that we're quite jealous of the arrangement. :D
-
^
Amen to that!! XD
Thank you so much for the review Lolli~~~ Sounds like it was a blast! Ad-libbing = :wub: Too bad Ai-chan wouldn't play along, that would have been awesome!!! She better watch her back, if Sayu's moving up!
Love you for doing this!!! :heart:
-

Well true, we care a lot about the rotation hotness :drool: but you can never go too far with that.

Wah~ I just remember a Koharu prank (because I was writing about the 'glass' slipper over at H!O)
In the show Koharu would put the slipper on a wooden block so people could try it on. During the final, when she was at Cinderella's house, she put it on the block properly for Eri to try on, then Eri's part is to go like 'yay it fits!' then fall of the block. So Koharu retrieves the shoe and puts it on the block for Reina to try on. But she put it on there on it's side XD Reina was telling her off and she picked it up and put it back down again...on it's side!!! Eventually she sorted it out but everyone was wetting themselves laughing.
Another step mother thing I remember too was also in this scene. When Koharu and co. go to Cinderella's house with the slipper, most of the villagers go with them, in to the house as well. When the Fairy Godmother comes and tells Koharu about Cinderella, Koharu and co. rush out of the house, followed by the villagers. In the final performance the step mother ran after them, grabbed the old ladies walking stick and started 'beating' her and chased her out the house. Then was all proud of herself, spinning the stick round lol.
I don't know the name of the actress who played the step mother, but the Wota's had a lot of love for her. I think the cheers for her were louder then for some members of MM!!!
Also...this is a really lame comment now. But I know of the story of Cinderella as I was probably read it when I was a kid. But I only know the basic concept. I've not seen any of the screen adaptions or the Disney version so this is totally all new to me. So...I didn't realise that the Prince's name was Christopher *facepalm* Was kinda funny hearing Gaki being called Christopher (or sometimes Chris) by the King and Queen.
Also, I'm pretty darn sure Koharu's characters name was Franz. Is that in the original story or did they bring it over from RnK?
-
^
It's from the Rodgers & Hammerstein version of Cinderella . I've seen clips of the songs of the film by that ver. on YT .
-
Where does GakiKame come in to this. Well...at the end when they did there little speeches (the MM only MC). Eri was stood my side of Risa and the whole time she was talking, Risa didn't take her eyes off of her. When al the other members were talking she would look away occasionally, or just didn't look at them at all. But her eyes were glued to Eri. Even when Eri bowed they followed her. That's love right?...I think it is...

OMG, this actually turned me on XD
Can't wait to get my hands on the DVD! I hope it's released pronto!
-
Thank you for all the reviews guys!!!
Man, now I REALLY can't wait for the DVD.
Hopefully they do something similar to RnK and make a multiple version DVD so we're not missing out on all the good & fun stuff.

I HAD to quote this. There was more but I decided to limit myself. Gah, TakaGaki BODY CONTACT!!! :on bleed: *dies* :imdead: And the running of the fingers down Ai's hand. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about this. Or maybe it's due to the freaking cold air-conditioning in the room. No matter, cuz the fact is I AM getting goosebumps :lol: I need the DVD this instant. I wanna rewatch those scenes endless times :mon heh:

That's love right?...I think it is...
GAKIKAME is....I dunno, I love them but I want Risa to look at Ai too damnit! I need some clarification on this, perhaps Gaki was looking at Eri cuz it was more convenient? Like maybe since she was standing right next to her and Ai wasn't so it would be harder to watch Ai throughout? :mon unsure: Can you tell I'm getting desperate? XD
RISA'S AB'S ARE FOOKING HAWT!!! 3rd ROW FTMFW!!!
You're damn right about that. "NIIGAKI RISA HAS ONE OF THE MOST SEXY AND HAWTEST ABS!!!" *shouts from the mountain top* :cool1: <---me standing on the mountain :P
I think she's getting Eri and Ai sex. Maybe on a rotation. Ai mon, Eri tues, Ai weds etc etc (was that going too far? do I care? not at all!)
:mon angel: :mon lovelaff: :mon bleed2: :mon crazyinlove:
Oh man, now how am I supposed to go for class and still be able to hear what is being said? :oops:

LOL. Eri was stood to the right of Risa (her right) and Ai was stood to her left. So I could see Eri, more than I could see Ai.
When I say Risa didn't take her eyes off of her, I whole heartidly mean it. She was staring at her face intently the WHOLE time Eri was doing her MC. Including, like I said, when Eri bowed. Plus, she wasn't just looking, she was staring, the expression on her face was totally different then when she looks at other people... Just thinking about it again is making me totally hot. If Eri ended up looking at her the same way, I would've thought they were gonna jump each other at any minute (or as soon as they got offstage)...
I'm all for both TakaGaki and GakiKame (and possibly a threesome :twisted:). But with Ai being so uptight and stuffy throughout both perfomances and mini live's. I totally prefer GakiKame at this present moment in time.
-
Lolli, stop talking Kidding of course... you're gonna make me change my sig soon :lol:
If I really really have to, I can live with GakiKame I guess, but I won't be happy about it :mon whimper: :P
-
What's this talk about Risa's abs? I wanna see. Anyone got pictures? It must be hot.
-
No pics, just what I saw with my own eyes. And to be honest, none of the pics I've seen from the Mini Live will do them justice. They are hot! :mon lovelaff:
LOL lollipopgirl. I don't want to make you think of GakiKame more than TakaGaki. I was just thinking though, if Risa would've just licked her lips whilst she was staring at Eri...
:mon crazyinlove: :mon bleed2:
-
Koharu comes out in her first scene on stage *enter stage left* turns around to face the audience and say her line, looks right at me and gordie, stares at us for like 3 seconds kinda like 'OMG WTF Gaijin!!!' so funny...I lol'd. I don't think we got any further looks from her. She obvioulsy doesn't like foreigners :(
I think it's more that she was surprised to see gaijin in the audience, not because she doesn't like them. It seems she got over it fast though.
Thanks for the report, I'm really envious now ^^;;; And you got looked at a lot by Sayu, too....wow :D

NO PICTURES?! AWW, MAN!
well, is it a six-pack kind-of abs? hardcore, or slim and lean, beautifully curved and outlined?
curious, has she always have abs?
-
Okay, between all the GakeKame, Risa's abs, and being in the audiance talk (with morning musume members looking right at you!), this thread is making me crazy with jealousy. CRAZY, I tell you.
-
^Your damn right - but jealousy is not a good feeling, so let's replace it with happiness for others who could experience this and are sharing their experiences with others. :P
Damn... I sounded like a Buddhist monk :rofl:
I want to go to Japan!!! Right away!! :angry:

Cool. I was wondering when they'd announce it.
:otomerika:

NOW..we can finally get to see those TakaGaki scenes we've been dying to see! :w00t:
I'm DEFINITELY pre-ordering it this weekend or so :)
-
Great News! Now I just have to wait for some kind individual and/or groups that are willing to spend their time making english subtitles for the play...
I heard some very good things about the play, on and off stage. And love to see the girls in costume and especially the mini concert which everyone been's talking about.
-
Nothing on Amazon yet :mon annoy:
-
Oh goody! :w00t: I've been waiting for ages for the pre-order to come out. This is a definite must get. I'm crossing my fingers that some kind souls would sub this in English. Wait a minute...I just realized something, there is no news about a soundtrack. Does that mean Cinderella won't be getting one? Awww why is that?
-
It is probably a licensing issue. A quick glance of the official Rodgers and Hammerstein site learns that there are separate licenses for performing a musical and selling a CD of the songs. It's all about the money...

Got it today! Was watching on the big screen when Mom came in to watch a little. She found it weird watching a Western musical being done in Japanese. XD But she knew it was Takarazuka once I mentioned it was all female. :O :D
Takagaki! :heart:

http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?act=tracker&CODE=details&torrent=17646
I said this in the torrent comments area at H!O, this was a major surprise, and an AWESOME one at that.
Once again, BIG PROPS for doing this ~Dan~! :rockon:
-
Wow! didn't know a subbed version is out! yay!!!!! takagaki love FTW!!!
-
downloaded act 1 subtitled, but not watching it yet, I want to wait for act 2 and so i could watch it all in one go. but I did skip thru it and it does look fun and a great musical.
-
^ act2 is up now on H!O
-
Just watched the whole thing, major props for the subbing, Dan. Also kudos for not going for any coloured fonts or stuff like that. Good subs are the ones that you won't even notice while watching.
It was a fun show, everyone did good, no-one annoyed the shit out of me! Aichan looked fucking fantastic. Only bummer was that there was no kissing! C'mon, girls!
-
Seem's I'm always last ^^
Finally watched the whole thing.
Everyone did great and Risa is one hot prince :wub:
But I was a bit disappointed with the music, it was too repetetive over and over the same themes again and again and there wasn't one song I could say I like - really like. With RnK every song was stuck in my head for months and I liked all of them, so this was a bit of a letdown for me.

You have to blame Rodgers and Hammerstein for that, after all this is a Japanese adaptation of the R & H musical, using their music and only translating the lyrics

LOL I was going to say that. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote a lot of famous musicals, but after the initial idea they seem to get lazy writing the actual musical.
-

I know that the music isn't H!P's fault :lol:
But since I never watched the R&H version or any musical version of Cinderella I didn't know what to expect.
-
So I'm a crazy person and should have gone to bed much earlier yesterday, but I couldn't get "A Lovely Night" out of my head, so I decided to take into my own hands and make my own CD using the DVD.
Find it at the asshole! (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18314.0)
So weird typing that. :lol:
-
I think it's so cute they did a R&H musical... I love R&H, their music is kind of simple, but classic.
