yatterman japan premiere report
I'm home (and dead... for several reasons, not only because of tired xD)
As most of you who followed my babblings have already known, after I posted yesterday's pictures from Green Fingers, I studied for several hours until around 4AM, and dashed to the station to catch the first train. When I got there (Tokyo International Forum, the amazing place where the Yatterman Japan Premier is held), over 100 fangirls have already stood in line (and most of them only "representating" their groups. Means they just stand in line first to tag the place, and more friends will come later to join or switch).
While waiting, I stalked mixi through my cell, and found out that the group that is in the most front of the queue, came at 1AM...
1AM my goodness O____O
The weather got totally much colder after 6AM, and finally at 7AM I can't stand it and posted the previous post xDDDD The wind was strong, and this is mid-winter... While still holding on, I checked my inbox several times, and I got spirit from everyone's comments and hugs <3 So thank you very much.
About 11.30 I had to leave my group and go back to my town to take an exam (yes, I know I'm crazy. Everyone told me that today xD), and I went back in the afternoon. We got row 11, center. (The hall contains around 5000 people, and there were about 50 rows at the first floor. There was 2nd floor too for worse seats xD So that means coming at 5AM worths it for this good seat, I think.) They keep playing "Believe" everywhere, like in the hall, the lobby... The movie goods also sold, but I didn't buy any yet because my luggage already so full with clothes and green fingers goods. (they will usually be sold at normal cinemas too)
So we got in to the hall about 6.30, and OMG SO CLOSE TO THE STAGEEEEEE. Right at 6.30 the events started with yatterman trailers (lots of cheers and flails from the fangirls). After the yatterman trailers, they show footage from the New York premiere (winkychan, it was only for a second but I swear I saw the side of your face when you cheered for the movie xDDDD).
After the footage, the screen pulled up AND YATTERWAN CAME OUT!!!!! OMG it was totally big IMPACT, like... real YATTERWAN, that big, red, and moving. So amazing.
Then the MC appeared, and it turns out to be... HATORI-SAN O_________O (note: Hatori-san is the host of Zoom In, which seems popular because everyone around me seems happy to have seen him in person xD).
So then, he introduced "the important people whom the movies won't be able to be completed without".
Started with... SHO-CHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
He wore black. Everything was black. Suit, shirt... AND A HAT!!! He wore that kind of hat which Gan-chan wears, but it's black. And everyone shouts "kawaiiiiii" (but seriously, he looks REALLY cool with the whole-black and cute with the hat <3333333333).
And OMG, this is the closest I've seen him in person. I always got stand seat at concerts so... to have seen him wearing such awesome clothes this close, and be able to see his expressions very clearly *____*
Like everyone said... today's efforts and sacrifices were worth it xDDDD
Please note that my report may not make some sense, because my head was torn between awe, tears of joy (I seriously cried xD), and flailings.
Other than him, there's Fukuda Saki (Yatterman no 2), the Boyacky guy, Kendo Kobayashi, Kyoko Fukada, and Director Miike. Fukuda Saki wear a cute mini dress, while Kyoko Fukada wore a very nice black and white long dress which makes everyone "woahhhhh".
Hatori-san asked some questions to the casts and director. Sho-kun's turn always come first. The first thing that was amusing is... he was asked about his impressions for some things, and he sort of saying "YATTA" with hand movement for everything. For example, "to have completed this movie... I feel like shouting "YATTA" (with movement)". And he did it over and over again that everyone kept laughing. Even when it was Fukuda Saki's turn to answer, she said the same form of sentence "to have do this bla bla bla" and Sho-chan joined the "YATTA" with her xDDDD There was another question, and he answered simply "I feel like shouting YATTA". Then Hatori-san was sort of ending sho's part there like "okay, then next" or something, and Sho immediately "Wait, wait, wait, this time I'll answer properly" xD
Kendo Kobayashi kept being funnily narcisist ("thank you all of you to have come especially to see me..." xDDDDD), while Kyoko Fukada always spoke cutely. Boyacky also told a lot of joke, especially the kind of flirting jokes.
Then other things that was amusing, when Hatori-san asked Sho about his impression of New York premier, he answered jokingly with one english word. Hatori-san said something and again Sho-chan immediately "wait wait wait. I'll answer properly in Japanese!!!" XDDD Then when he's about to speak, he said "eh... what was the question again?" xDDDD "ah, yes yes, impressions, right?" Basically in summary, he's saying that the audience really gave nice reaction to the movie. When Doronjo came out, when Boyacky came out, etc, the audience reacted "ohhh" or something, also laughing for the jokes and such. Yatterman anime is never shown in America, so it's good to have such nice reaction.
Hm... I think those were the most interesting part of the greetings... I was focused to Sho's figure all the time, and now I'm very tired but I'll write something if I remember anything more.
Before they left the stage, Sho made us did the Yatterman yell and there was a burst of silvery cut paper (I forgot what is it called in English, sorry xD Confetti?), but everyone totally reaching up and catching the paper and bringing them home for souvenir xD Just simple decorations thing, but I also brought some home xDDDD
They also did photoshoots at the stage and everything. I guess you'll be able to see this at the TV reports :)
Then they played the movie... Hmm... too tired to write any review, but I must say... audience will scream and kyaaaaing based on the location of Gan-chan's lips xDDDDD Lots of laughter too xDDDD My most favorite one is when the figure that Doronjo saw in her dream finally come to shape xDDDDD
Hmm... after the show, I failed to catch the last bus so I had to get taxi (expensive... T_____T). But the driver was nice, asking about my study and telling me to do my best xDDDD
Btw, I have read several of the comments from yesterday's post (sorry, not yet replying T___T). Seems like lots of you asked my opinion about the stageplay... Hm... how to say this. Actually this is the first stageplay I ever watched, so my opinion might not be so objective (except for Ohno's DVD, but this is a totally different genre I think). I will give more details about the story, sets, and such... but for now, all I can say is that I loved it so much. Not just because Aiba-chan was being extremely hot (my friend said, it's not Aiba-chan, because the character was the super cool, rude, rough... but I guess I'm DoM xD). First of all, the music was AWESOME. I think there was a cello player, a guitar player, and a beatboxer. THE BEATBOXER IS EXTREMELY AMAZING. Of course the cello player and the guitar player are also awesome, but that beatbox was totally remarkable to me. The guitar mostly were acoustic, but he will play electric during tensed moment. Also, the actor who acts as the old guy (sorry, forgot his name), I think he was awesome. It was a very difficult role, being sick and emotional, and at the same time, making Aiba-chan's role open up his mind, but he acted it totally awesome. Then, the sets were also awesome. Well, they have to do gardening and such, and I was wondering how will gardening be done on a solid stage, but it was done amazingly (using pots and plants that already grouped on a sand-colored paper or something, and well, some real sands too), and the final result also looked really beautiful. There were some jokes slipped too at the stageplay.
This entry marks the 49th hour I haven't got any sleep. xD I shall go to bed now. Got 2 exams tomorrow morning.
