Ari, was the subbed Shin Kaguya video you were looking for the Live-Evil translation one? If you need a youtube version of it, I can try to search for it.

not sure I was hunting it down on Youtube and couldn't find it luckily I was on the computer I had it loaded to so I got to watch it but I would like to have a link to one on youtube also because I may not be on the lap top when I get to Shin Kaguya.

I found a Youtube playlist of Shin Kaguya, it should have all parts. [Link to the playlist]

Thank you Tsuki have I told you how much I love you lately 

Aww thank you Ari *hugs* I love you, too .

*hugs Tsuki back* 

and I must ask is it a bad thing that I was disappointed to see Hikari right after an evil dream during the black lady Kaitaban fankan. Stupid Ado anSaying Nao-chan *note to self mentally kick Ado next time I see her on screen*

OK guys watching the Kaguya Shima Fankan and I was curious what is everyone's favorite fankan. I'm kinda in love with the black lady fankan lately.

I was wondering why the musicals seem to be heavily influenced by Spanish language. With songs like La Soldier, the La Reconquista title, etc. Then again they also have French with L'Amour D'Amour, but I guess I just noticed the Spanish more.

Ari - I think my favorite Fan Kansha at the moment would be Shin Kaguya Kaiteban FanKan.

White Moon Lady - I think Kayoko Fuyumori (one of the lyricists of SeraMyu songs) liked to add some French into the lyrics, especially in Eien Densetsu musicals that took influences from France. Actually, only few non-First Stage songs have French titles, Image De Mon Père and Moment Fatal par example. Many Myu songs have at least partially English names and you will notice that many of the songs also have English words in the lyrics. I actually like this fact a lot.

I have had ice doll and toware no Artuka(SP?) stuck in my head all day.

omg i just finihsed eien densetsu.....LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT OMG THE ENDING WAS THE BEST.
so much usamamo feels adn hikari doing la soldier

One of my reviews is gonna be out of order for my rewatch i'm typing up one for la recoquista after i watch it a third time when i get home. I'm such a bad nao and hikari fan yuuga knocked them to my second favorite actresses.

Just noticed Between when Risa played Cere Cere and When Risa Played mars she didn't change all that much and she was so freaking adorable as Cere. (Ok she was still adorable as Mars)

With the exception of La Reconquista which I watched because it came out recently, I'm still watching the rest in order. Just finished Yume Senshi · Ai · Eien ni... Kaiteiban Saturn Fukkatsu Hen ^_^ Sailor Stars is next! I am excited!

There is a link for the Eien Densetsu Kaiteiban and the Shenshuuraku version as well on Sera Myu antics and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the last day performance version has a lot of differences? Should I maybe watch that instead of the regular one or do both anyway? Because with the original as well that makes three Eien Densetsu and I'm worried it may get repetitive.

The seshuraku is the same thing as the kaitaban but has a tone of adlibs mostly in the case of the starlights and at one point uranus does break character. And it's also the last musical for most of that cast with very few ruterning later so it gets pretty emotional in parts. It also has my favorite version of double moonlight romance in it. But yea if you watch it i would suggest watching the regular version of the kaitaban it makes it easier to notice when they adlib. Also the last day performance gives us that method that makes it worth watching in my opinion

oh I can't even count how many times I've watched it now I'm serious I can't count that high. And I'm assuming your talking about the HikariMaker siggie I'm gonna be making animated one's soonish.

I agree with Ari about watching the regular Kaiteban version of Eien Densetsu before the Senshuuraku one. Some of the adlibs that are only in the Senshuuraku performance may cause some confusion if you have not seen the regular version and also some other First Stage musicals first . But if you want to watch a part of the Senshuuraku, I would recommend you to check out the special video footage that was recorded after the curtain call and which contains the cast saying their farewells and Naoko coming to the stage.

Ari avoids that part because Anza makes Ari cry and Ari gets enough feels from the dracul series.

Hmm.. and what about the original (non-kaiteiban) version? Is that a lot different as well? I just worry it'll be like seeing the same musical three times ^^ (the original, kaiteiban, shenshuuraku)

I am going to watch 4 myu's this weekend
tomorrow kicks off TNM Kaiteban
saturday is final first stage
sunday is a marina moon musical (what comes after 10th anniversary)
monday kaguya shima densetsu kaiteban

There are actually quite a lot of differences between Eien Densetsu and Eien Densetsu Kaiteban (FFS), at least in my opinion. In the first version, there is an Ami x Zoisite subplot that gets removed and replaced by a very different kind of Ami centered subplot in the Kaiteban. Many songs are also changed, the Kaiteban version marks the comeback of some popular, earlier appeared First Stage songs thus replacing some songs that were in the first Eien Densetsu musical. Eien Densetsu Kaiteban holds more Usagi x Mamoru moments, however, the first Eien Densetsu Myu had an Usagi x Mamoru wedding themed curtain call. I think Eien Densetsu Kaiteban was one of the most different Kaitebans when compared to the previous musical, Transylvania no Mori Kaiteban being the most changed one.

All in all, every Kaiteban is different from the preceding musical, although the initial changes vary a lot. One thing that I count as a big part is that at least one performer left in every musical, which may feel to be a tiny thing, but can change a lot depending on the role the performer had. For example Mugen Gakuen and Mugen Gakuen Kaiteban where the performer changes had, in my opinion, a big impact on the whole musical.

so I'm setting aside three days soon and watching the dracul series likely gona start with Last Dracul on Sunday. Monday TNM, Tuesday TNMK, and Wednesday will be death vulcan no fuin

on second thought Death Vulcan and TNM will be on Tuesday Wednesday will be Mugan cause I just can't get enough of destained couple

I just tried watching the regular Eien Densetsu Kaiteiban version (NOT the Shenshuuraku) in Sera Myu antics but the Flash Player won't work... is this just me?  

it happens to me from time to time unless someone beats me to it I'll see if I can find you the musical on youtube either when I get up in the morning or after I get home from work in the afternoon.

That would be very helpful, thank you! <3

OK still looking for that video just been haveing a few issues with my eyes again so it's been slightly slow.

in other news best part of black lady Kaitaban fankan is definetly this moment

more screencaps:

am I the only one that drooled when Hikari came walking out in that dress?

Don't worry about it, I've found it ^_^

As of now I've seen all the recorded first stage musicals! Last night I watched the Shensuuraku and I'm glad nobody could see me crying on my own, lol. I'm going to move to the second stage soon and it'll be interesting to see new actors all over the place. Having watched everything in order, I've grown pretty attached to most of them. (But I'm glad to see some will be making comebacks)

One thing I wish is different though is the fact that sometimes only half of the Inners get developed. I can't tell you anything special about Jupiter and Venus at all especially in the last few musicals and I wish they'd spread out the character development more evenly rather than just focusing on the same ones every time. I know the actors for those two change a lot and Mercury and Mars have been in a lot more performances, but yeah. I just miss my Minako fix!
