[MejraThea]

Estrea on H!O/JPLOP is already translating an audios recording she has. Just putting that out there.

[aine]

Eh, whatever then. :wut:

There's a full audio recording out somewhere?

[MejraThea]

She went to the first showing, I believe. And someone uploaded audio recordings of some of the performances.

^ my hero

[xxxmayuriin]

Maybe I should do a write-up of the story？

[Estrea]

Hi everyone! I just came back from Japan after watching this 6 times. (yes, 6 times, don't ask me how much money I spent)
 
A few things: I'll definitely be translating it, I've already translated the OST lyrics on the plane ride home, I just need to actually type them up (I wrote them in my notebook). Of course, if anyone wants to help with timing and all that other technical stuff, sure, I can use all the help I can get. I'm primarily just the translator who works with the script, so if anyone wants to get a team together, sure why not? I'll definitely be pre-ordering the DVD once the option is out.
 
I recorded all 6 showings I went to plus the 2 after talkshows I was present for. Due to major spoiler reasons I'm not really releasing them, but I see people already did. >_> Well, I guess we couldn't keep it under wraps forever.
 
OST will be uploaded soon once I get my shit together, I have a LOT of things to sort through and my stuff STILL isn't unpacked. 
 
Some basics on the musical:
- Everyone's a vampire
- It's a tragedy. Bring the tissues.
- Everyone did a great job singing and acting. They definitely warmed up over the course of the showings though. 
- Don't worry about the line distribution, everyone gets to shine in some way I've lost count of how many times people have asked me this.
 
But yeah, if you have any questions, field 'em and I'll answer with as few spoilers as possible. If you REALLY want spoilers, take it to PM. 
 
Toodles!

[xxxmayuriin]

I'm going for the showings in Osaka later this month!

[Estrea]

^I recommend watching at least twice :D or as many times as you can afford. If I hadn't had to fly back, I would probably just keep going back to watch it. Over and over again. 
 
This musical is haunting my life and my dreams. I haven't listened to anything but the OST since this started. So screwed lol.

[xxxmayuriin]

^ I'm so excited ! I'll be going for the three showings in Osaka since Osaka is much nearer to Hokkaido than Tokyo !


Can't wait to watch it, it's great you got to watch six of them ! Did you buy any other goods ? ^^

[Estrea]

^Yeah I kept buying the daily photos u_u my money kept flying away...
 
And of course they had to release the new sets AFTER I leave. I hate this orz

Sure, why not! We could put it in blog!project, it could use some original content every now and then.

Lucky you! Anyway, if that's cool with you then that's cool with me too! I can handle the timing and the rest. And if you have a full, uninterrupted recording of the show then I should be able to pre-time it before the DVD/BD is out if you hook me up with the audio file and the script. PM me if you're interested.

Stupid question, but how is it nearer exactly?

[Swtess]

So I just listened to the previews and the girls sound amazing! I'm surprised since I didn't really expect much.

[MejraThea]

Sorry to beat you to it, Q, someone uploaded the OST.
 
I'M SPAZZING OUT.

[star]

I'm downloading this before it gets taken down!

[Meikochi]

Me too, I'll listen to it a bit later ! Thanks Thea !!

[pandapanda]

About when will this play be released on DVD?  I dont think an official date has been set, but following examples of the past, is there a ballpark time?

[Shoujo Q]

This fall probably. Or early winter, depends on the turn around time in editing.

[al kusanagi]

I'd say late October or early November, looking at previous release schedules.

[star]

I love this OST!!

[MejraThea]

Seconded, Star! So many songs I want to record. Although not Meimi's.. haha, no. 

[star]

I really want to hear Natsumi as Margret and the Cute Gundan on Princess Margret.

It is about the same distance actually but since my mother is from Kobe (Hyogo), I'm currently in Kobe and will go to Osaka on Friday to watch LILIUM. And I am really sorry I am unable to reply your private message but I will reply when I get back.

[yuzuriha]

I am seriously so amazed at how some of these girls have voices that sound a million times better the second they start singing in a musical style.  Of course there are the girls that excel in both idol style songs as well as the musicals (Meimi and Sakura the ones off the top of my head), but we all already knew Riho does a lot better in this style, and I am surprised to feel the same way about Dawa.  And HOLY SHIT Kana has blown me away.  Like seriously...so powerful.
 
Everyone sounds amazing in this except Masaki who I want to punch in the face. I realize it is probably her character.

I second all of this.

[MejraThea]

Third!
 
Been listening to the playlist for two or three days now, and I have all of the songs on that playlist but Princess Margaret.

[yuzuriha]

Yeah, I will definitely be skipping Princess Margaret in the future.
 
As expected, my favorite song is Anata o Aishita Kioku.  I cannot get enough of it.

[star]

I actually like Princess Margaret...but then again, I like Masaki.
Aru Niwashi no Monogatari is my favorite song from this musical.

[MejraThea]

I don't dislike Masaki, I just dislike her voice.


Aru Niwashi is my favorite, too. It makes me tear up, and I'm not sure why. Lyrics usually don't effect me.

[Estrea]

Princess Marguerite sounds much better live because she varies it a lot more in the actual performance -- unless you just don't like the bubbly squeakiness, then I can't help you there. But there's more fun to be had because she's just bouncing around basically calling all of us dirty peasants (kinda...lmao). It's definitely her character to do so though, and it's a lot of fun to watch.
 
I can't tell what is my favourite song right now, it kinda changes on a day-to-day basis depending on my mood Right now hooked onto the unreleased song "Stigma", sung by Riho, Kanyon, Meimi and Sakura. Still kinda ticked off that it didn't make the OST, but I kind of understand because this song was added in only a few days before the actual run of the musical started, along with the other song, Himitsu no Hana ga Hokorobu (sung by Ayumi, Zukki, Takechan and Rinapuu). Which is also really fun to listen to (but too spoilerish to make it onto the OST imo). 
 
Other favourite tracks would be Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani, Gensou Genwaku Innocence and Shoujo Junketsu. I probably shouldn't listen to Gensou Genwaku Innocence, Eien no Mayuki no Owari and Shoujo Junketsu back to back because it makes me want to kill myself afterwards. Especially if I listen in that exact order (throw in TRUE OF VAMP between and that feeling just increases). But yeah, I'm glad that everyone seems to really love the OST :D It's really good so I'm not surprised. :)

[arcobaleno]

My favorite is definitely Anata wo Aishita Kioku. The singing is gorgeous, and Sakura just sounds angelic and it's so perfect that AUGHH.
 
Princess Marguerite.... not a fan, but I dislike Masaki's voice out of all of them the most, so no shocker, haha.
 
My definite second favorite is Mou Nakanai to Kimeta. Meimi just rocks it so bad, and I was literally blown away the first time I heard it in full. All I can think is "WHY IS SHE IN S/MILEAGE WITH THOSE VOCAL CHOPS."
 
Overall, the OST is absolutely amazing as a whole, and MM, S/mileage and the Kenshuusei shined here so awesomely.
