One day has passed since the end of Tou-sute. Each time a stage play ends, I don’t like the next day after ~ … My feelings still haven’t faded away, and I start missing it so much.
The amount of fun that was had, the long time that was spend with everyone, the recoil from that being over is really strong.
But, that’s also just how really meaningful it all was ~ …
Once again, stage play『Touken Ranbu』One-eyed Dragon of Daybreak Thank you so much to everyone who came throughout the 46 performances, and everyone who supported us ! ! !
From the first day of Tou-sute practice up to yesterday, it was suuuuper fun
Starting with the group leader Suzuki Hiroki-san, my kind and lovely senpais, cute Ton-chan and Takeru, who I wanted to co-star with, I’m really able that we were able to battle together side by side.
The comfort was good and I always wanted to go to practice quickly, it was company that I always looked forward to meeting up with.
I feel like I was laughing every day.
Having fun chatting with everyone during breaks, talking, laughing hard
Of course, when I performed as Sada-chan, too.
Sada-chan’s nature made him like the sun of that citadel.
I felt that when performing too, and so many times, Sada-chan gave me energy.
Getting to play Sada-chan, getting to meet him, I’m really glad I could.
For me, I found another role that is「irreplaceable」.
I want to play Sada-chan again ~ .
I look forward to it, when that time comes ^ ^
And then, for the best staff, it might be bold for me to say something like this but…
They’re really pros.
It was a stage play with fierce battles so there were times when the costumes and props would break. When that happened, seeing them say “Can I have a moment?” and fixing it in an instant was really cool, and I don’t think we could have made it this far if the staff hadn’t been there.
And everyone in the best cast, I’m so glad that I got to be a part of that group and act with them.
It really turned into a learning experience.
The morale of that group was incredibly high, and without question, it was our troupe leader Suzuki Hiroki-san that was raising up that morale.
It was really fun getting to act with leader Suzuki Hiroki-san, and getting to act together with everyone.
And then Micchan, who I was always together with.
It was really the best !
I’m glad Ton-chan was my partner. We get along well even just personally, so because of that, during practice, the two of us got to try out all kinds of things, and more than anything, the level of comfort when Ton-chan was my partner was amazing.
As Sada-chan this time, I’m happy I got to meet Micchan, and as Hashimoto Shohei, I’m glad I got to perform together with Higashi Keisuke again !
Let’s work together again sometime ^ ^
And then, it was yesterday but
Happy birthday ! ! ! !
This feeling de very fun Tou-sute was, but more than anything thanks to a lot of people supporting until the end was able to run past.
With these feelings, it was a really fun Tou-sute, but more than anything it’s thanks to everyone supporting us that we were able to run through to the very end.
Once again, from my heart, thank you ! ! !
We’ll be apart for a little while, until the next time master gives me orders and lets me go to battle.
At that time, again…
Touken Ranbu, it’s starting ! Let’s go show off ! ! *
Today, my ears were ringing like “kiiin” when we were riding on the plane to Fukuoka !
I’m glad I’ve had a lot of chances to come to Fukuoka prefecture recently ^ ^
I want to eat a lot of delicious meals this time too !
And then, the first thing I thought when we entered the theater and I met with Sada-chan for the first time in a while.
Soooooo fun ! ! !
Although we had taken a break from performances, my body remembered I think my throat felt like it was in better condition than usual too, and for my body, it seemed like it would be fun to perform as Sada-chan again.
I’m sure that everyone felt the same way, we had the whole day for rehearsals and we finished everything at an incredible speed.
I want to wake up the parts of me that want to perform again for tomorrow’s opening day !*
After the rehearsals, all of the cast and staff went out to eat.
There were so many people that I thought it felt like a closing party, we had a fun time ♪
Having some meaningful times Getting a lot of rest
I think I’m going to greet tomorrow in perfect condition ! ! !
I’m set on improving my skills in the updates to the stage combat ! !
Everyone moves around a lot so, learning more about it has been really fun ! !
I’m not pretending to swing ! ! I’m putting my soul into it ! !
And nowww the ban is lifted on the ‘I Am A Cat’ visuals !
Cat !
My hair is a little undone, cat-like? I tried to make it like that ! !
Ahh, fun ! !
I’m missing that practice currently, because I’m traveling to the countryside for a certain production ! ! I will be turning towards this production in a few days, I’ll do my best ! ! ^ ^
And, Poseidon’s Fang tickets have gone on sale at Stardust WEB ^ ^
Among the perks, you can get a live photograph signing ! ! Sign and write, write !
sorry i cut out the fluff and focused on the main story
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Same night The one who called Akane in the last part of the previous episode turns out to be Masayuki. Akane asks to meet up with Masa tomorrow so they could talk.
Next day, early morning Masa wakes up and sees that Nagisa still hasn’t come home. He was about to leave when he comes across Reijirou who was making bentou for their practice later. He explains the situation to him and heads out. Rei was gonna follow him but he was already out of sight when he went out the door.
Rei opens up his laptop and hacks into the mainframe to locate Masa’s phone using GPS(?).
–later–
Yuusuke reads fan tweets / replies on his phone, most of them expressing their sadness and disappointment due to the scandals coming out. Kakeru snatches the phone away from him, and found tweets from other fans defending Stellar CROWNS and expressing their belief in them.
They found the bentou on the table, with a message from Rei saying that he and Masa will be out looking for Nagisa.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
QUEEN RECORDS building The guard told Masayuki that Nagisa didn’t come to the building, and that no one came last night.
QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area(?) Masa receives a call from Yuusuke, but gets cut off because his phone ran out of battery. He looks at the clock and sees that he has 50 minutes left before the arranged meeting with Akane, so he sets out for the meeting place.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Dance Studio(?) Yuusuke and Kakeru arrive together, and saw that Kouki and Mizuki (ASTRA RING) were already there. Kamishiro, ASTRA RING’s manager, explained that it was for the documentary that they’ll be shooting for STELLAR CROWNS and ASTRA RING’s joint live. Yuusuke and Kakeru were both surprised, and Kamishiro explained that it was Akane who decided this to recover from the recent scandals.
Kamishiro then asks them where the rest of Stellar CROWNS are.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area Using the GPS(?), Rei arrives at the last location where Masa was before his phone went out. There he sees a set of keys with a strawberry keyholder on the ground.
Moriya arrives in his car at the parking area and sees Rei. Together, they went to the guard to ask him about Nagisa. They found out that all security camera footage from yesterday was deleted, as instructed by Akane.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Dance Studio Yuusuke explains the situation to ASTRA RING and their manager. Kakeru turns to leave to help with the search for the missing Nagisa. Kamishiro guilt-trips Yuusuke to stay. Yuusuke also convinces Kakeru to stay, telling him that both of them should do what they can do.
Moriya is working on his laptop trying to restore the deleted security footage. Rei offers to help but Moriya declined saying that it’s not something amateurs can do. Moriya fails, and Rei takes over. He proceeds to do the fancy hacking thing while Moriya looked on in awe
(I said I cut out the fluff but I found the ‘hacking’ scenes so extra, I love it)
Kouki picks a fight with Kakeru and Mizuki and Yuusuke stops them. Kakeru tries to leave, but Mizuki stops him to apologize, and then manages to force Kouki to apologize as well. Kakeru tells them to change to their practice clothes so they can start.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Unknown location Nagisa manages to free his feet so he got up and looked around. He found an envelope on a table and opens it.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area The security footage got recovered successfully. (Moriya is like, “wtf?”) They looked at the footage from the camera in the parking area. They see Akane pushing a trolley with something like a body bag on it. As we walked by, something fell on the ground. They looked at it closer and it turned out to be the keys with the strawberry keyholder. A few moments later, a black van exits the parking area.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Unknown location Nagisa looks through the file inside the envelope. It turned out to be an investigation report about Kouki and Mizuki. It details Fyrklöver’s activities in chronological fashion, including the time when Yuusuke withdrew from the group and the time when Nagisa became busy with his acting career.
–flashback: 2014– Nagisa is just about to enter the dance studio where Fyrklöver is practicing, when he hears Kouki and Mizuki talking. Kouki wonders what would happen to the two of them, since Yuusuke quit and Nagisa’s acting career is going well. Mizuki tells him that Kouki will do just fine, it’s just that no one has taken notice of his talent yet. Kouki asks him if he’s being sarcastic, or just trying to cheer him up. Mizuki answers that he really believes what he said. The two begin practice, and Nagisa only looks on.
Just then, someone started to violently turn the door knob, trying to get in. Nagisa thinks it’s Akane and hurriedly tries to free his hands and arms.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Masa is walking towards his and Akane’s arranged meeting place. A black van can be seen following him.
⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Dance Studio, dressing area Mizuki reads another article that just broke out, accusing Reijirou of being a part of an international hacking group.
Kouki asks Mizuki why he stopped him earlier when it seemed like it would’ve gone well. He tells him they should just hurry up and do it, when Mizuki kabedons stops him. Mizuki tells him to stop acting on his own, because it may be the end for the two of them.
Meeting Area (underpass) Akane apologizes to Masayuki for dragging them into something once again. He tells them that they’re in danger. Before Masa could ask him for an explanation, a black van speeds straight at them. They both manage to get out of the way in time. But then, unknown men gets out of the van and rushes towards them. Akane gets tasered, and eventually Masayuki gets tasered as well. They were carried back to the van, and it speeds off to somewhere.
Sengoku Musou, the opening day ended safely ! I was nervous… ! Insanely nervous ! Thank you to everyone who came ! While reflecting on today, I will prepare for tomorrow’s performances !
