Imight know what the next H&K chapter is gonna be about (though it’s mostly me being stuck on a guess).
We just finished kagihira’s first Valentine’s Day, which means H&K ch.15 end at the same time as ch.7 in S&M. So H&K ch.16 might happen at about the same time as S&M ch.8. Which is just before exams and I’ll be VERY surprised if H&K ch.16 doesn’t at least mention the whole Kagiura-needs-significantly-better-grades-to-stay-with-Hirano thing. But Sasaki and Miyano also gets to talk for a bit before school because Hirano is late for tutoring Sasaki. And I just…
Hirano, were you late because of Kagiura??? WHY WERE YOU LATE, I NEED TO KNOW
The truth is… I intially auditioned for a different role. Even so, I always thought, “Wow, I’m like Tanaka. He reminds me of when I was in high school.” But in the end, I’m truly glad I ended up playing Tanaka. Generally speaking he’s all over with happy emotions so it’s fun through and through to do! He’s not just loud (laughs), as the moodmaker he can be sensitive and caring, and even if he has to say something harsh and blunt he’ll end with a big smile and leave the person he’s talking to with a positive impression. In the everyday scenes Tanaka’s the first one to come out saying “Good morning~”, so he’s positioned to grasp the point of the scene. I take care not to go overboard. I play him thinking first and foremost of his relationships with everyone else.
While Haikyuu stage follows in the steps of the original manga, with each production the way we formulate the play itself deepens. So for me, in addition to dramatizing the manga there’s a lot of things I try out in terms of pure performance. I think it’s thanks to this production that I’ve learned how to act with precision and restraint. Everyone in the company is truly an amazing performer, so there’s a lot to steal from them, and every day of rehearsal is a learning experience. In terms of rhythm work and such, I don’t think there are many performances that have as many opportunities as this one… Usually we have about 300~400. But the atmosphere is very free and open. Often if we in the cast express something we want to do, we then shift in that direction. The creators are very flexible. In addition to listening to us, they’ll provide sound judgements. On the other hand, actors who don’t say anything can’t do anything… It’s certainly a little different from other shows. I think I’ve been forced to grow massively as an actor. Well, Karasuno is particularly self-assertive (laughs), and I’m proud that we all have a relationship where we can argue back and forth regardless of age.
The appeal of Haikyuu stage is… decidedly, “full strength”. Because the staff and the cast and the audience all go at full strength, the love gets stronger, and we can seriously get intense. All we want is the satisfaction of doing our utmost, and the audience’s reaction to that is incredible! Our ideal is “performance that isn’t seen as performance”. No matter how flashy something looks, if the acting isn’t there, you think “what are they trying to show me?”, so that balance has to be fine-tuned. If you let up even a little, it will cheapen, in a second. And then, I know there’s such a thing as audience etiquette, but… changing that up a little is one of our projects. Applauding at the moment you’re the most excited, even calling out “Do your best!” if you want, that’s wonderful. I think it’s really fun to share that feeling of “I couldn’t help saying something” “But that’s good too!” in the audience, and knocking stuff like that over to have fun is typical of Haikyuu stage. I’m going to work even harder at that as Tanaka the Captain of Pumping Up. (laughs) I hope there’s an osmosis effect as, you know, a new type of entertainment.
I heard some of the sets were included as part of the Haikyuu exhibition. I bet you’ll be surprised to see how big they are up close. The dents and marks on the floor we used, that insane angle… This is the place we stood at full strength. It might still have traces of our tears and sweat, and nikuman and anman. (laughs) You must love Haikyuu stage very much to come to this exhibition. I’m very, very grateful. I hope seeing the real things makes you feel all kinds of things, and if you like next time you come to one of the plays please have a go at cheering and calling out. It’s only going to get better from here~!

Spontaneous drabble from this morning. For @seanettlles, creator of the only OC I have ever been invested in. Emilio is a real gift (eyy), and I love the fact(!) that he appreciates Bruno’s pancita. Bruno deserves all the love and positive attention! Soft make-out under the cut
…
Emilio has Bruno sitting up on a counter in his bakery. Blissfully inattentive to the various sacks and jars of ingredients strewn beside them on the stone top, the uncompleted bread recipe.
