Some thoughts about RGU: Blooming Rose of Deepest Black

I've been an Utena fan for a while but I just watched the musicals and I love them, I need to talk to people about it I'm gonna explode

All my thoughts are under the cut. We'll go character by character analysing the differences between their TV and Musical counterparts.

Utena

She and Anthy take the backseat a lil bit. She is great as always though.

Ami Noujo is quite popular, I can definitely see why. She is funny, incredibly charming and sweet. She was recast from the last musical like all the others.

She tries to set up Anthy and Miki together. Miki is less creepy about his crush so it does come off as kinda wholesome.

I absolutely adore the cheesy ass friendship song she has with Wakaba.

Her most iconic scene is definitely the one at the very end where she hugs Anthy in an almost possessive manner, saying she is here for her. And Anthy just looks like she is dying inside haha. The ominous bells and Akio in the back don't really help things either.

Not really much to say about her, she is the same as her show self.

Anthy

Yuka Yamauchi is, again, great. Anthy is somewhat different from her show version. Not worse, just different.

Musical Anthy is generally nicer(i think.??). Whenever Show Anthy is alone with Utena, she seems disinterested in the people around her. Musical Anthy compliments Miki on his piano skills, for example.

She comforts Juri during the Shiori duel. I genuinely can't tell if this is wholesome or eerie.

In the show, she doesn't care about the black rose duelists (other than telling Mikage he is cruel for making Tsuwabuki duel.) She feels guilt about the whole situation here.

She still has her laugh from the first musical! Giving her this almost condescending laugh is a fun take on her character. She almost dies of laughter when Utena asks if the projector is her brother. I love her so much it's unreal. I will talk about her a lot more if I do a white bud post.

Akio

Speaking of her brother, Akio is also here.

Yu Yoshioka is definitely a standout. His mannerisms and posture show Akio's character brilliantly. It's pretty exaggerated, that's expected from a stage play. I think he is my favourite in the musical.

Akio acts really disinterested in what's happening. He has an air of superiority around him. He carries this vibe for the whole musical.

He is always slouching a bit. He walks slowly, he has one of his hands at his pocket at all times. It really gives him this aloof vibe. There is more but. Someone else can analyze Akio's body language way better than I can.

One thing he does is push people in and out of scenes. Mikage and Mamiya also do this. It shows them being "puppeteers" really well. The most unsettling one is after the first song, as characters are leaving, when he forcefully holds Utena's arm so she can start her scene.

He holds Tokiko's head almost forcefully has he kisses her. Really unsettling.

He also always seems to be standing a bit too close. His scenes with Utena are the best examples of this. Anthy (and Mamiya) also has some scenes like that.

This Akio is less friendly then the one we know. They also toned down the incest stuff. Interesting changes for sure. This musical is mostly for people who have already watched the show, so they have decided to show Akio's actual nature earlier.

Akio sometimes says a character's line with them. It's a cool way to show how he is the puppet master of the story.

Wakaba

Yume Takeuchi absolutely crushed it in the first musical. She continues to be amazing here. I cannot stress enough how much I love Wakaba in this.

She seems sadder in the musical. Almost like she knows her moment od being special will not last long...

Her black rose duel is absolutely heart wrenching. The student council and the school body taunting her during the battle is horrible. My girl doesn't deserve this. Crying and shaking.

Her after the duel scenes are expanded upon. After the battle she goes missing for a few days. During that time, she was making stew for Utena but couldn't perfect it so she took a few days off. I'm sure she is really tired (both mentally and physically) even though she doesn't remember what happened.

And then they have this cheesy song I mentioned before. You could argue it doesn't fit Utena but I enjoyed it. Wakaba even makes Anthy join in too.

It's a minor scene but, I find it absolutely hilarious how she screams upon seeing the exam schedule so hard Utena thinks something happened to her. If I saw English and Math were in the same day I'd scream too. This is right after Mamiya stabs Kozue btw.

They have the prince giving Utena the rose ring and Saionji giving Wakaba the hair clip at the same time. Wow they really did that.

Her elevator scene is my favourite. She is letting it all out. Screaming and crying and the venom in her voice whilte talking about Anthy and Saionji. It's so much.

Saionji

The most pathetic cringefail man in all of Ohtori. I like Tsubasa Yoshizawa's performance overall.

I didn't pay much attention to him. They don't really change anything about his scenes. (Except for the Wakaba duel)

I will give him this, he is pretty funny. His scenes are funny but also seeing saionjeans dancing in ensambles is just. so fucking hilarious to me.

Kozue

Marina Tanoue's acting was okay. Good stuff.

She comes off as a bit more awkward here. Which makes a lot of sense imo. She is messing around with boys a lot but she is only 13. Her awkwardness show up in her hookup scenes too. The boys are a lot more touchy with her.

They toned down the incest in favor of Kozue just wanting to protect Miki. Incest is still there but their relationship is not the same.

She is our first black rose duelist instead of Kanae. Kanae is not that well written in the show so this was for the best.

Miki

Bit of an unpopular opinion, I liked Natsuki Osaki's performance in the first musical. Yuta Higuchi's performance is better but I also like the first Miki too. I am not the biggest Miki fan but the musical definitely made me warm up to him more.

Wow the pedo teacher is so much more creepy here. Seeing real people play these scenes makes them feel even worse. He is a lot more touchy here and Miki actually reacts to him.

I like the part where he is playing music on the side during Nanami's song it's kinda cute.

Nanami

I can't believe they casted the actual Nanami Kiryuu to play herself. Ok fr real tho, Arisa Suzuki is amazing in this.

I'm gonna get burned at the stake for this but I don't like most of the Nanami episodes. I actually really like Nanami being the comic relief, the jokes just don't land for me... But I did actually like the cowbell song she has. She has a cowbell song. She has a co-

I personally found her talking to Juri and Miki part more funny.

There is a scene where she takes Miki's watch and accidentally stops all three of them in time so Wakaba can have her part talking to Saionji. Laughed out loud at that part.

She is exclusively comic relief here. There isn't much she can do outside of that anyways. Touga is not in this and her story line so dependent on him.

Juri

Riona Tatemichi please take my hand in marriage thank you

Juri is the same personality wise as her TV version, other than being slightly gayer. This is a musical after all.

There is a scene where is imagining dancing with Shiori (Shiori also has a scene similar to this).

Juri and Shiori actually kiss??!? It's pretty brief because Utena and Dios slashes their kneecaps. Oh, yeah, during the duels whoever's sword the duelist is using shows up.

I love that instead of working together they end up knocking off each other's roses. That's so in character for them. Also hilarious.

Shiori

Fuyuna Asakura. She might be the best actor in the musical. Because wow, wow. She is a sickeningly sweet type of character. One that turns out to be horrible.

She is way more cartoonish but I don't think that's a bad thing! It's so fun watching her on the stage do her thing. People who didn't like TV Shiori might like this version more. Shiori is one of my faves, I was already primed to like this version of her too.

Each black rose duelist has a scene where they are stabbed by the black rose. Strangely, Shiori is the only person to not scream during it. It just goes to show how little of a push she needed.

She is a lot more shocked about learning she is Juri's crush. The whole situation feels even more tense than the TV version.

My favourite moments of Shiori are in the Akio arc. I don't like Ruka's character, I think he made Juri's story line worse... Buuut I liked watching his dynamic with Shiori. Hopefully we'll get to see Fuyuna Asakura again if another musical happens.

I loved how they handled the Juri/Shiori story line. It's one of my favourite side plots.

And that leaves us with the boys of the black rose. I am gonna talk about them the longest:

Mamiya

I think Mamiya is underrated as hell in this. I haven't heard people talk about the musical but when they do they don't mention him all that much. Yohdi Kondo works so well as him.

He is a lot more active compared to his TV counterpart, If that's the right way to put it. We see him do stuff. He stabs the black rose duelists. He and Mikage work together to make plans more compared to the anime. He is the one responsible for putting Juri's locket in the vase. I appreciate them being more like a duo.

He comes off as a lot more intimidating here too. Him not looking like a 13yo plays a big part, but his mannerisms play a role too. The Kozue scene shows this really well.

What I most like about him though, is how they show Anthy and Mamiya being the same person. They replace each other from scene to scene constantly. My favourite example is when he takes her place when she is playing the piano. Mamiya is behind her when they're both on stage. They circle around each other at the start too.

He moves around in a similar way to Anthy. He is a lil bit scary in the same way Anthy is. Anthy is my favourite character so i definitely enjoy this a lot.

Also have I mentioned the fact that Akio and Tokiko fuck on his bed. While Mamiya is talking to Mikage in the rose garden, we see the shadows of Akio and Tokiko in a loving embrace on top of his bed. I hope that is not literal. Because if they actually fucked on that bed that would be insane. There are a few ways to interpret this.

There is a theory about how Mikage seeing those two is preceded by Mamiya's death. I think it's true because it doesn't make sense to me how that was enough for Mikage go set the fire. We know Mamiya is dead by this point. He is completely codependent on those two emotionally, he would not take seeing Tokiko with a man right after (maybe a month? Who knows) Mamiya's death well. Merging the imagery together makes a lot of sense.

I didn't think of this at all before but the "Imagine me & Utena" podcast (It's a pretty good podcast!) pointed this out: this is suppose to hint at Mikage and Mamiya's relationship. The sexual/romantic side of their relationship is sort of hinted in the anime and the musical. I could see this being true. This is a really important moment for Mikage. In the anime, we see the cursor point at the leaf during it. You can't have that in the musical. You could have this though.

I also found it funny how Akio's shadow wakes up Mamiya lol.

Mikage

He is the closest thing the musical has to a protagonist. He is in most of the scenes, directly or indirectly. So we spend a lot of time with Hidenori Tokuyama, and I am really torn on him. I'm not really sure if it's his fault either. Mikage is a really subtle character, it's always the little things with this guy. That kind of personality is hard to translate onto stage. You can't see his change in expression when he sees Tokiko and Mamiya talk. You can't see he has a picture of Mamiya on his desk etc etc.

He gets better as we get to the end. Mikage gets a lot more unhinged towards the end, less "subtle" if you get what I mean. Don't get me wrong. I like Hidenori Tokuyama a lot. I just can't connect with him all that much.

There are some notable changes done to him. Mikage as a character always stood out to me from the other men in the show. His much shorter stature is the obvious thing (I don't care about that being represented tbh, he is shorter than Akio and Saionji, that's all you need) but another thing is how he is not violently misogynistic like them. He still is misogynistic, he uses the internalized misogyny of the girls to make them hate Anthy instead of the man in their lives. He would not be able to do what he did without exploiting the harmful systems of Ohtori. He could definitely be interpreted incel-like with his relationship to Tokiko and Mamiya. I guess he is just not as obvious about it? He doesn't show interest in any of the girls. He is obsessed with Tokiko but doesn't even realize she is walking past him. This is pretty noticeably changed in the musical.

He straight up hits on Utena. It's incredibly uncomfortable (as it was meant to be). With Tsuwabuki gone, all of his victims are women. His crush on Tokiko is shown a lot more. It's a lot more sus. I don't see this as a negative change. I like Anime Mikage more but I see the value in making him feel closer to how the other men are.

There are some more minor differences.

Sometimes when he says his lines, Akio says it along with him. For example during his talk with Saionji,

Saionji: And what do you want from me in return?

Mikage: Good question...

Mikage: There's one item that I want from you.

Mikage: A trifle, really...

There is more of this in the exact same scene btw.

His mannerisms are a bit different too. In the anime, he is approachable but you can tell there is something weird with him. In the Musical, you can tell he is obviously trying to manipulate you. He isn't as charismatic as his TV version. And I kinda like that honestly. It makes it easier for me to connect Nemuro and Mikage in my mind.

It’s already been a while since their announcement, but Adam Whiteley and Mary Morstan have been cast!

Adam Whiteley - Kawahara Kazuma (川原一馬) Previous roles: Ennoshita Chikara in Hyper Production Engeki Haikyuu! Mary Morstan - Yamauchi Yuka (山内優花) Previous roles: Fujioka Haruhi in Ouran High School Host Club

Their information has been added in the side cast page, as well as the other ensemble members confirmed to be cast for Op 4.

Op 4′s subtitle has also been confirmed to be: 犯人は二人 Hannin wa futari The Two Criminals. Which means it’s highly likely that Op 4 will get to the standoff in Milverton’s villa. Will it go beyond that? Who knows?

Nogizaka 46 Stage Sailor Moon Musical de 2018: a versão do Stage Play do chamado Sera Myu,os espetáculos musicais de Sailor Moon estrelado pelo Nogizaka46

Como Sailor Moon está completando 30 anos de existência e estou cobrindo as séries feitas pelo Sakamichi Series então porque não falar agora justamente dessa versão do musical pelo grupo Idol Nogizaka46? então essa é a oportunidade

Primeiramente pra quem não conhece Sailor Moon provavelmente é um dos pioneiros de uma obra de mangá a ganhar um Stage Play. De toda forma esses musicais existem desde 1993 com 29 peças e mais de 800 apresentações. Os musicais que tiveram uma quantidade absurda de atrizes interpretando os papeis e dividido em duas fases diferentes são tão valorizados quanto as outras mídias.Hoje em dia então qualquer anime famoso ganha uma versão para o teatro cuja função é transportar exatamente o estilo da obra como ela é pra vida real com uma produção absurda e uma fidelidade aos personagens que assusta.Já vimos cosplayers fazendo milagres,imagina uma produção profissional.O caso de Sailor Moon ele não tenta emular muito o anime,inclusive os trajes das garotas são bem diferentes inclusive mas tentam manter sua essencia. Então o Nogizaka46 acabou sendo uma dessas várias versões da história recontada inúmeras vezes nesses musicais.Essa versão possui duas versões: uma interpretada pelo Team Moon e outra pelo team star.A trama é a mesma,diálogos ide,só mudam as atrizes que interpretam as personagens.E ele ainda ganhou outra versão em 2019 com outras atrizes também.Este artigo vai falar apenas da versão do team Moon

A história segue mais o estilo do mangá de Sailor Moon com uma história bem próxima aproveitando o clima de romance e mistério e drama ao invés da comédia do primeiro anime. A história é basicamente a mesma com Usagi(Mizuki Yamashita da 3a geração) encontrando Luna,retirando o curativo da testa da gata e sendo visitada por ela que dá pra ela seu brovhe de transformação e tornando Sailor Moon a heroína que todos amamos.Nessa temos a presença de Umino(Marina Tanoue) e Naru(Yuka Yamauchi) que não temos nos outros musicais.No segundo ato temos a aparição da Ami(Riria Ito,3a geração) e o caso do curso onde o Dark Kingdom faz seu ataque,a diferença aqui é que é Zoisite(Sari Kojima) que faz o ataque. Em seguida temos o arco da Rei(Kazumi Takayama da 1a geração) que tem o templo atacado por Jedite(Rina Takeda) igual o original.No arco da Makoto(Ami Nojou da 1a geração) é que temos as maiores diferenças com o arco do baile de máscaras e este mesclados onde eles conseguiram bem passar a idéia da Makoto como uma garota alta e forte mas que no fundo gosta de coisas femininas e inseriram muito bem com o resto.Nela Nephrite(Shin) acaba a enganando e chamando pro baile de máscaras já que ela fica encantada com a jóia(o cristal de Prata).Porém aquele momento maior da Usagi com Tuxedo Mask(Mikako Ishi) e a revelação da sua identidade acabou sendo alterada,isso ocorre quando a Queen Beryl(Nami Tamaki) roua o Cristal de Prata e Sailor Moon acaba quase caindo sendo pega pelo Tuxedo que aí sim revela sua real identidade.No arco da Minako(Hina Higuchi da 1a geração) temos outra mudança pois Venus não aparece disfarçada de princesa pra enganar os amigos e inimigos,ela já aparece só como Sailor Venus.Os outros arcos sao similares ao mangá,com as Sailors indo a lua atrás de respostas e conhecendo a Queen Serenity(Mai Shiraishi que dispensa apresentações),obtendo a espada.Temos também a lavagem cerebral no Tuxedo Mask e Sailor Moon sendo obrigada a perfurá-lo com a espada e se matando em seguida repetindo a tragédia de séculos atrás. A grande diferença é que as Sailors se sacrificam pra traze-la de volta a vida.Com o Cristal desperto Sailor Moon consegue derrotar Queen Metalia e restaurar a vida de suas amigas que retornam a Terra.

A apresentação é muito legal,com ótimas canções como Rakka no Yume(sonho caído) que tem 3 versões diferentes e Unmei no Gonin sailor Destiny(o destino das cinco Sailor Senshi) ou a bela canção de Beryil chamada Kurayami(trevas). Inclusive a quantidade de canções é bem grande nesta peça. O espetáculo possui inúmeros refletores que servem pra dar os efeitos especiais e a produção é muito bonita com efeitos que iluminam o palco.Apenas os trajes das Sailors eu não gostei muito,eu prefiro mais a versão do musical da Princesa Kaguya que foi a peça mais recente.Porém o visual dos 4 Shittennou ficaram divinos.A interpretação das Nogizaka é muito boa nessa peça,Yamashita consegue passar bem o tom da Usagi do mangá enquanto Mikako consegue se sobressair como Mamoru Chiba. O musical consegue reproduzir bem aquele clima de mistério,magia e romance.Tem algumas coisas que muitos podem estranhar como as atrizes de fundo que hora fazem papel do despertador de Usagi tocando ou a moça das noticias da TV(tem canções durante essas aparições).O final da peça temos declarações emocionadas das meninas do Nogizaka e as que não são do grupo pelo amor a Sailor Moon especialmente Mikako que ficou bem emocionada agradecendo Naoko Takeuchi por ter criado Sailor Moon assim como as Idols que fazem as 5 Sailors e aí que cai a ficha do porque Sailor Moon é tão atemporal e consegue conquista e renovar o público com novas gerações continuando a manter a série viva.As Idols do Nogizaka46 então viram a série na TV e agora fazem parte dela,num musical oficial,imagina a emoção sendo fã,então acaba te contagiando também.Mesmo hoje em dia tendo franquias como Precure e Girls x Heroines com forte presença entre as crianças Sailor Moon permanece ali por 30 anos. Se quiser ter uma experiência diferente com Sailor Moon esse musical pode ser uma porta de entrada mas se prepare porque ele tem 3h,ao menos 2 e 30 de trama. Aí talvez queira dar uma lhada nos demais que tem traduções de fansubs especializados em Sailor Moon por aí.

Returning to the cast will be Yuka Yamauchi as Haruhi Fujioka, Junya Komatsu as Tamaki Suou, Masamichi Satonaka as Kyoya Ootori, and twin vocal unit TWiN PARADOX (Yū Futaba and Kaname Futaba) as Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. New to the cast are Ginga Shitara as Mitsukuni Haninozuka (a.k.a. Honey-senpai) and Shogo Tazuru as Takashi Morinozuka.

RELATED: Watch Vivid Performances of the Cast in Ouran High School Host Club Musical

The show is set to open sometime in winter 2022, and will be performed in Tokyo and Osaka. Fans who want to get their tickets ASAP can pick up a copy of the first Musical Ouran High School Host Club on DVD or Blu-ray, which will include an advance application for tickets.

LET’S BEGIN🌷✨

next one is Mikiiii (played by Natsuki Osaki) okay, so, first I’m gonna say that I would have casted a girl to play Miki, (Come on, am I the only one who thought Miki was a woman when he first appeared on the anime?) Natsuki was good, he’s a great actor, I liked him, but his voice just didn’t sound like Miki’s (>_<) (I’m just a little bit glad they changed him for the second musical, even though I don’t know yet how Yuta is as Miki)🤔

next is: JURIONAAAA \(//∇//)\

No, I’m not done with Riona yet!!!

Yuka Yamauchi’s Black Rose Cast Introductions!

Anthy’s actress is a prolific blogger, and posted a series of introductions to various cast members during the rehearsals of Musical Utena ~ Blooming Rose of Deepest Black. Nagumo was kind enough to translate many of them, and you can read them here! They’re a wholesome look into this talented actress, the production team, and the group dynamics and process of creating the musical.

“When Yume wants to have a certain timbre and singing voice for Wakaba, she imagines it in her head over and over again so that the scene is just perfect. From the first production to this second one, she's been thinking the best way to present the scene until she's figured it all out without even stopping to think about it. I have nothing but respect for her.” (About Yume Takeuchi, Wakaba’s 19 YEAR OLD ACTRESS JFC.)

“Those who've seen the previous production's extras know all about Riona's terrible impersonation skills. Today we've heard her terrible impersonation for the first time after so long and it made everyone laugh. Her flair for impersonation is fatally lacking. (laugh)” (About Riona Tatemichi, who plays Juri)

“Everyone is like this, but with Arisa you can't find the word 'compromise' or label her as someone who does things by halves, she does everything with her utmost effort. If you saw the first production, you know that her voice, appearance, mannerism, and knowledge of the anime was better than anyone's. She was aiming to constantly improve her performance right up to the end.” (About Arisa Suzuki, who plays Nanami)

“This is the second time we've costarred but I think the distance between us has narrowed from last time. (...) When we lock eyes on stage, we typically find ourselves corpsing and trying not to burst out laughing, we sometimes end up losing our composure so completely we can't get back to work.” (About Yu Yoshioka, who plays Akio) Enjoy, and look forward to our streams of the new musical, translated and ready for us all to lose our damn minds over! :D

I never liked Naru in the anime and wasn't too excited when they announced that Naru and Umino would be part of NogiMyu but in fact I really enjoyed watching them! They were so cute! <3.

Messages from the cast and crew of the new Utena musical

(from the website musical-utena.com)

Ami Noujo (Utena Tenjou):

Revolutionary Girl Utena was broadcasted 20 years ago. For this work to be newly set on stage in a musical makes me very happy. I’m a bit nervous because the duel scenes are my first time doing stage combat, but since Utena is a heroic and stylish girl, I want to deliver you a splendid performance.

I’ll do my best so that this Revolutionary Girl Utena musical will be loved by everyone, both by the fans of the original and by those who now have the chance to experience Utena for the first time, so please come to the theatre by all means. We’re looking forward to it.

Yuka Yamauchi (Anthy):

I am so happy that I can be a part of such a deep work of love (edit: deeply loved work). To feel like something is about to break at any moment, but still to have strength: This delicate worldview took a tight hold of my heart. I think this work will be revolutionary for myself along with Anthy, so I would like to meet it with great care.

Koutaru Yoshitani (playwrite/director):

There are many fans of Revolutionary Girl Utena around me, so the announcement of this musical adaptation has been very well-received. I feel a great honor and a great responsibility in being given charge of the script and direction of this astounding and beautiful work.

Ms. Noujo, who plays Utena, decided to go into show business when she was very a child from the longing she felt watching a musical*. What that “longing” means is to have strong will in the present. To devote yourself to the harsh world of an “idol” means to train your senses and abilities, which is in synch with Utena overthrowing the fate that approaches.

Before Ms. Yamauchi was cast as Anthy, she was in the ensemble. I ask for the highest level of performance from the ensemble in the productions entrusted to me as a director. With her high abilities, she is sure to create a splendid Anthy.

The Dueslists and other characters will also be played by actors of great skill.

We’ll deliver to everyone the world of Revolutionary Girl Utena and the Rose Seal, the Shadow Play Girls, and the End of the World, with all the intensity of life packed into the space of the theater. Please look forward to it.

Note: Since I was on her wikipedia.jp page earlier today, I can add that the musical that inspired Ami Noujo to start acting was the Sailor Moon musical Shin Densetsu Kourin. She wanted to be just like Chibiusa.
