I WAS BORED. What else can I say?
Since it wasn't specified, old cast shall be taken to mean 1stcastSeigaku!, Fudomine, St. Rudolph and Yamabuki (Don't ask why YamabukiXD). New cast is 2ndcastSeigaku! and Hyoutei. Echizen and the ichinen trio will be randomly insertedXD
01 Have you ever been to a Tenimyu, if yes, which ones?
I was in Japan, in TOKYO when Dream Live First was on. BUUUT. I didn't know that Tenimyu existed then. XD
02 Which Tenimyu is your favourite one?
Hyoutei, Hyoutei in Winter, Dream Live 3rd
03 Least favourite Tenimyu?
Side Fudomine
04 Is there any special Tenimyu you’re longing for?
Rikkai(: FujiisgoingtoplayKiriharafangirlsqueefaintsquee! Also, Jyousei, training camp near Atobe's cottage, aka Hyoutei rematch!, and Junior Senbatsu, AND Japan vs America Invitationals
05 Which Echizen/Tezuka do you like the most?
Endo Yuya/Shirota Yuu
06 Who is your favourite actor of the old cast?
Tsuchiya Yuichi & Nagayama Takashi. KENN, Shiozawa Hidemisa and Wada Masato, in that order, for non-Seigaku.
07 Who is your favourite actor of the current cast?
Aiba Hiroki & Shirota Yuu from 2ndcastSeigaku! Kamakari Kenta & Date Koji from Hyoutei, with Katou Kazuki coming in a super close secondXD
08 Least favourite of the old cast?
Kimeru. DONTKILLME. I know it's up for debate, but I will never get over how he killed poor Fuji.
09 Least favourite of the current cast?
XD. I LOVE THEM ALL. Including Hyoutei.
10 Who suits his character the best in the old cast and current cast, why?
11 Who suits his character the least in the old cast and the currents cast, why?
The thing about the cast is that how they act offstage is at times, just OPPOSITE of who their characters are. Case in point, Shirota Yuu as Tezuka Kunimitsu. Nevertheless, these such people get into characters really well (Compare Shirota Yuu offstage, particularly the COOKING incident, to Tezuka Kunimitsu onstage). Butbutbut, I really didn't like Kimeru as Fuji. Shoot me now. Oh, and Date is scarily like Ohtori. Okay. Maybe not. How would I know? XD It's just that Date seems so...nice. I do believe he's the only one from Hyoutei who broke down during DL3.
12 Which Tenipuri character are you most longing to see?
Hmm. Who's left? The Tanaka Twins, if there's going to be Jyousei, Yukimura, Kirihara, Sanada. Kevin and Billy.
13 Is there any actor who you consider totally unsuitable for his Tenipuri character?
Kimeru NAAH. NO ONE.
14 Line up the 5 best actors from the old and current cast
Old cast:
1. KENN
2. Tsuchiya Yuichi
3. Shiozawa Hidemisa
4. Nagayama Takashi
5. Wada Masato
(6. Takigawa Eiji)
New cast:
1. Shirota Yuu (It must be kinda hard, to suppress that dorky nature of his to play TEZUKA)
2. Aiba Hiroki
3. Katou Kazuki
4. Kamakari Kenta
5. Date Koji (To be fair, we haven't actually seen much of Hyoutei, minus KatouXD)
(6. Araki Hirofumi)
15 If the old cast we're to come back would you rather have them than the current cast?
2ndcastSeigaku! owns my heart<3!
16 What do you think of the fact that Tenimyu doesn't use Female actors?
Because there are way too many guys around.
17 They don't include Tomo and Sakuno. Is that bad?
NOPE. I do hope we get to see the girl (Was it Yukimura's younger sister?) from the Tezuka arc for the Nationals, but I seriously doubt it.
18 Which song is your favourite in Tenimyu?
Seasons, Yumei Wo Tsunage, Crystal, Do Your Best, On My Way, Ikuze, The Regulars
19 Least favourite song?
Rival no Futari.
20 Which song do you consider being the “ultimate Tenimyu” song?
Do Your Best! On My Way and Ikuze being close seconds though. Because Tenimyu is at it's best when everyone's on stage together!
21 Which song do you consider being totally unsuitable for Tenimyu? If any?
NA.
22 Who are the five best singers?
(Kimeru, mostly because I really love the OP/ED tracks from Anipuri, but let's not put him in the list, shall we?) All from newcast, because I don't remember much of 1stcastSeigaku! anymore :( Also, I think that the ichinen trio really sing very wellXD But let's not put them in either!
1. Katou Kazuki
2. Shirota Yuu
3. Araki Hirofumi
4. Saito Takumi (I just like the way he sings his parts in Ice Emporer)
5. Aiba Hiroki (This IS another point of debate. It's true that Aiba's voice can't compare to Kimeru's, and some people don't like the way he sings. On the other hand, he does hit all his notes and sounds very nice on his CD.)
(6. Washimi Ryo)
23 Who is a pain to listen to?
NA. Suzuki Hiroki really isn't onkey most of the time, but so long as he's on stage being dorky ZUKKI I don't really care. Same goes for Aoyagi.
24 Would you like the actors to do Tenimyu character singles?
PLEASE!<3
25 Which Tenimyu was your most/least expensive one?
Don't own any at the moment -- coughahemissuewithparents. I WILL GET THEM SOMEDAY THOUGH, even if I go hopelessly broke.
26 Which seats we're the best/worst you got tickets for?
In front of my computer screen, ya.
27 Which Tenimyu had the best Bromides/Photosets?
28 Which Bromides/Photosets did you dislike the most?
I've only seen Hyoutei's...
29 Was there any time you forced yourself to buy a Tenimyu Bromide/Photoset?
Well...
30 If you did buy one of the glowing colour sticks for DL2? Which colour?
I didn't...BLUE!
31 Who is your favourite actor in Fudoumine, why?
Fujiwara Yuki. He was a really good Kamio. Really. Also, Miyano Mamoru and Takagi Shun.
32 Who is your favourite actor in St. Rudolph, why?
KENN. He sings well, and he's playing FUJI'SYOUNGERBROTHER. Shiozawa Hidemasa. I don't like Mizuki, but I nearly fell off my chair when he POKED Kabaji-kun and fell off like a girl. ASDFDKJ; Plus, he's always matchmaker, neh?
33 Who is your favourite actor in Hyoutei, why?
Date and Kenken. a) I <3 Date for his nice-ness, b) I <3 Kenken for his cool-ness and easygoing-ness, c) Date and Kenken are SilverPair<3!
33.5 Who is your favorite actor in Yamabuki and why?
Wada Masato, as Sengoku. He's all (:(:(:(:(:(:. Literally.
34 Least favourite actor in Fudoumine, St. Rudolph, Hyoutei, why?
NONE.
35 List up one actor from each School (Seigaku, Fudoumine, St. Rudolph, Yamabuki, Hyoutei) that you think is the most cute/hot
Seigaku: Cute//Adachi Osamu, Suzuki Hirofumi; Hot// Shirota Yuu, Aiba Hiroki
(On a side note, that means that GP is cute and Tezukfuji is HOT. Which is kind of true.)
Fudomine: Kamio is cool?
St. Rudolph: Cute//Shiozawa, KENN
Yamabuki: Cute//Kawakubo Yuki, Wada Masato
Hyoutei: Cute//Aoyagi Ruito; hot - Katou Kazuki, Kamakari Kenta, Date Koji
36 Least Cute/Hot actor from each School (Seigaku, Fudoumine. St. Rudolph, Yamabuki, Hyoutei)
...
I do believe it's a criteria to be cute/hot to be in tenimyu.
37 What was your first thought when you saw your first Tenimyu?
The first one I watched was Dream Live First. It went something like this.
At the beginning: ASFGJHSDSUIOFDJH.
Somewhere after the beginning: SERIOUSLY BAD SINGING.
Somewhere a little more after the beginning: NONE OF THEM KNOW HOW TO PLAY TENNIS.
The Regulars: DIES FROM THE LYRICS THAT ARE CHEESY
Rival No Futari: LDFDKJDFKLGKJ. REALLY BAD DANCING.
Costume change: WAAH. Kikumaru is hot! <3<3
...Picture slides which screams GPISSOCANON!: OMFG! <3<3
Nearing the end: (FDKJFDG. BAD FASHION SENSE.) I WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN.
38 Do you think Tenimyu is gay?
UHM. Is the show itself gay? Yes. There are guys on stage, dancing to happy music and singing lyrics that conform to a manga/anime about tennis. That's not very...normal, where I come from. Are the contents gay? Yes. I swear, if the wind had so much as blown a little harder, Katou Kazuki would have kissed Shirota Yuu (And, my friend, TezuAto would be SOCANON and so would KatouShirota)
39 Which Demachi was the most “successful” one?
...
40 Have any of the actors waved at you?
Out of the computer, yes they did.
41 Did you ever have a 5 second eye contact with any of the actors?
Well. Most of them actually LOOKED at the camera.
42 Has any of the actors ever talked to you?
UHM. No. XD
43 Have you ever been backstage on any Tenimyu?
Don't live in Japan...
44 If you could have 10 minutes talking to any of the cast old/current one, who would it be?
Shirota and Aiba for five minutes, KenKen and Date for five minutes.
45 If you got the offer to become one of the staff for Tenimyu would you say yes/no, why?
STUPID STUPID STUPID QUESTION. Well, of course! Shirota may have graduated, but there's still Aiba, and Katou, and Kenken, and Date, andandandandand
46 If you could talk to Konomi sensei that is the reason behind all this, what would you say?
I WANT TEZUKA KUNIMITSU, FUJI SYUUSUKE, OHTORI CHOUTAROU and SHISHIDO RYOU FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
47 If you could give him a piece of advice for the series so that Tenimyu also could get better, what would it be?
Zukafuji should be canon. And so should Shishitori.
On a completely different sidenote, people serve DIAGONALLY, people stand at the back of the courts to receive SERVE and they stand DIAGONALLY from one another when receiving SERVE. For some odd reason, in PoT, people run a lot to try to catch serves. From the other service box. WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
48 Has Tenimyu changed anything in your life, or left you with some impressions?
It made me work harder. I will never be a pro tennis player, but I can be the best at what I want to be.
49 Do you think you will ever lose interest in Tenimyu one day?
Well, for now, there's still Aiba and Kenken and Date.
50 Is there anything you like to add?
Typing all this out took a really long time. I have a math test tomorrow. I am going to fail. Nevertheless, I was thinking about this as I trudged back home today:
Scenario A) Tenimyu follows Manga. Implications: We won't get to see Jyousei. Rikkaidai will be after Rokkaku. Aiba will probably get to play Fuji when playing against Kirihara, and he'll play with his eyes closed (I didn't like the anime adaptation of this. He looked so COOL when he played with his eyes closed in the manga).
Scenario B) Tenimyu follows Anime. Implications: We will get to see Jyousei (YAY for Youhei and Kouhei). Rikkaidai will be after Jyousei. Aiba will probably not get to play Fuji when playing against Kirihara because a) he probably won't be renewed again, b)2nd cast did only two storylines AKA yamabuki and hyoutei so 3rd cast will probably cover only two as well, because they don't want to exhaust all the storylines, especially with the nationals still uncompleted. Maybe, they will also then choose to cover the camp (because it Rikkaidai got conveniently pushed back by the rain), as well as Junior Senbatsu, and the Kevin VS. Ryoma arc .
Scenario C) Like the anime, the myu goes off on its own path and creates another strange alternate canon universe known as tenimyu!
I don't know which one I want. I do want to see Jyousei and Junior Senbatsu. But I also want to see Aiba play Kirihara!
As for 3rdcastSeigaku!, good luck for Rokkakmyu! No stress whatsoever, because I still cringe at the opening, Run Run Run from Bukimyu because a grand total of three people (Shirota, Araki and Aiba, just barely) was on key. But we all ended up loving them, so I'm sure we'll love you too!
