is there a way for international fans to send fan letters / gifts to haisute actors (or actors in general)? if so, what are some suggested tips and guides??

I did actually make a guide for sending fanmail years ago!

But the list has not been updated in some time, so if you are having trouble finding the mailing address of a particular agency for a particular actor... or if you'd like to double-check the address for a particular actor already on the list... please message me about that separately.

Hello!

I’m still fairly new to the 2.5d world and would like to ask about the possibilities of Haisute (or any other franchise in general) to resume the shows that had been cancelled due to the SoE / pandemic.

I’m still kind of salty about how we didn’t get TSC resumed, so I’m thinking: is it because The Tokyo Battle / Itadaki no Keshiki planning were already in the works and they had to go with the original schedule? Also, has it got something to do with stage actors’ schedules and overlapping commitments? I don’t know how things in the 2.5d world go so I am curious.

I feel really sad that Itadaki 2 (and the whole Haisute franchise) has to end this way after everything that was already in store.

The problem with all this isn’t restricted to how the 2.5D industry works, it also has a lot to do with the Japanese government’s response to covid (which has been poor). This industry did not receive a lot of financial support from the government, and so everyone was working for every day that there wasn’t an official State of Emergency declaration. This meant that some shows got to stay on schedule and perform, and some would just get canceled, and still be unable to reschedule for weeks or months down the line, because there are other shows scheduled for that time. And maybe those might get canceled because of another Emergency declaration, maybe not. The particular shows affected were a very uneven spread. Not only that, the States of Emergency were always restricted to the more populous prefectures. While Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo were in “lockdown” for those past three weeks, all other prefectures were not. So if a show were to tour in some other prefecture in this time frame, they could proceed as normal. If Engeki Haikyuu were to be spending the past three weeks in Miyagi, for example, they would’ve been able to perform and not cancel anything.

Believe it or not, Engeki Haikyuu having two tours mostly canceled comes down to just really bad luck with timing. Throughout the pandemic, Japan has only ordered partial lockdowns three times, and two of those times happened to overlap with weeks when Engeki Haikyuu would be performing. 

All of this is to explain how difficult it is to try and reschedule a show right now. And please remember, I do not work directly with this production so nothing I say is official. But for a lot of shows that work on a regular schedule and perform consistently at set times of the year, they’ve got their actors and scripts and schedules set almost a year in advance. This production has consistently done a tour twice a year, spring and fall. As Strongest Challengers was gearing up for their spring tour, they already knew that the Battle of the Trash Heap would follow in the autumn, and they probably already asked actors to leave room in their schedules for it. 

Trying to move an entire production 6 months would most certainly not have worked for everyone. To pick just one example: Hypothetically, if they had decided to postpone Trash Heap to retour Strongest Challengers for autumn of 2020, that would move Trash Heap to spring of 2021, and they would’ve most certainly lost one or two of the Inarizaki cast. Then with Trash Heap moved, they would’ve lost Kondou Shouri as Kuroo (since he’s current touring with another MAJOR production), Nagata Takato as Kenma (he’s currently working on a TV production), Takeshi Naoki (Kai) would’ve been lost to Ensemble Stars, and the list goes on. 

Throughout the past year, governments around the world have been rapidly deciding and changing policies depending on how well or badly their country is doing with covid. The Japanese government is clearly hellbent on having the Olympics no matter what, but case numbers were spiking in early spring, the UK variant was detected, and for the sake of the Olympics, another Emergency was declared. But by the numbers, cases now aren’t worse than they were in January, during which a shorter, less-strict Emergency was put in place. Japan has only just begun vaccinating their general population in April, and their vaccine hesitancy is high. 

It’s absolutely unfair and unfortunate and disappointing and heartbreaking, and most of that for this production was just bad luck. But I do implore people to remember that this is just a tiny snapshot of an enormous struggle. It’s such a complicated picture, and everyone in the cast and crew are heartbroken. A lot of people are upset. I just ask that your frustrations and disappointments be directed elsewhere because so many factors are out of their control even without the pandemic. Many people want a rerun of Itadaki 2 and Strongest Challengers, and maybe they can make that work, maybe they can’t. Please be understanding, please be kind... nobody is more devastated than the cast and crew.

Yes, they had managed to get approval to stream the very final show of the tour with no audience in the theater, and no live-viewing theaters. Online-only streaming was a go.

But recently two people tested positive with covid, and now the final show is firmly canceled.

And now the official announcement that the remaining Tokyo tour of shows will be canceled in accordance with the new state-of-emergency guidelines. 

They are investigating as to whether or not they could possibly get an exception so that they can stream the May 9th final show online as planned with no audience in the theater. 

#news #update #I hope the two who tested positive get through their infections without any issues

[engekihaikyuu]

hi! do you happen to know who played mika in the dumpster battle? i thought it was alisa, but i believe there were a few scenes where there wasn't enough time for a costume change to be her. thanks in advance! :)

Ah, in The Dumpster Battle, Alisa was played by Kimura Fuuta, who plays Shibayama~

Do you know if the Youtube live happening tomorrow with Wada-san will be *only* live? As in, will it not be available after it airs? (It'll be live at like. 4 am my time so just wanted to check ;-;)

It’s not actually a “livestream” it’s a pre-recorded video that’s scheduled to post to YouTube at that time, so I’m going to assume that they’ll leave it up for a while after. It would be a bit odd if they posted a pre-recorded video and then deleted it within an hour.

Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu - Streaming

Between March 20, 2021 and May 30, 2021, the first 9 productions of Engeki Haikyuu (From the first show to Fly High) will be available for streaming on a WIDE array of streaming platforms, including DMM, Amazon Prime Video Japan, RakutenTV, and Theater Complex!

DMM

For a guide on how to purchase DMM streams, see here: (x)

The link for the DMM page for all productions is here: (x)

All shows will be available for digital rental for 1650yen. Upon purchase, your stream will be available to you for 7 days.

Theater Complex

The page with all productions is here: (x) Shows are available for digital rental for 1364yen. Upon purchase, your stream will be available to you for 7 days.

=====

Please keep in mind that COVID-19 has severely impacted these productions. Strongest Challengers canceled pretty much their entire tour, and the Trash Heap had to work with seating cut in half and canceled shows due to covid exposures. As much as we would prefer that the cast and crew can stay safe and simply not perform, there is no government aid for them and so they are taking the risk and performing anyway.

One of the reasons these streams are made available now is to make a small attempt to recoup financial losses. Please do not pirate this production, please do not encourage piracy of this show or any of their shows, please purchase and support the cast and crew if you can, especially during this pandemic.

Japan has declared a new state of emergency to cover Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo, and with the new restrictions, Engeki Haikyuu’s final leg of their tour for Tokyo is going to be canceled. 

“Department stores, malls, theme parks, bars and restaurants serving alcohol, as well as theaters and museums, will close. “

There is currently no announcement yet from the official Engeki Haikyuu account, but as Fukuoka is not a prefecture included in the measures, they will finish out the rest of the Fukuoka tour just fine. It’s just likely to be also their finale.
