I'll be gone for a while, I need to go to Japan...

Usually when I wake up, I check my email and LJ flist first thing. However, last night I downloaded something that seemed like it should be interesting (or awful in an interesting way), so I decided to just take a glance at it first. Prince of Tennis, live action and as a musical. Yes, this is a very, very scary idea.

However! It's really, really, really well done. The human actors look and sound just like the anime characters (amazingly so!), and it's handled really well. I ended up not just taking a peek at it, I watched the whole first file (the first half of it)!

The only (small) downside is that it's in Japanese and not translated/subtitled yet (or if it is, I didn't see a download for that version). But even without knowing what they were saying/singing, I could easily follow along (it was roughly following the anime's early plot).

I can't believe how good the actors look! I'm plotting and planning to fly to Japan so I can find the guy who plays Echizen's father. Then I'll pounce him and grab him and do all sorts of fangirlish things to him! Eee!

So I'm going to watch the second half, then deal with email and LJ. With theatrical_muse being so active, I'll probably have to ?skip=150 just for eight hours (sleep + show) away, but it's worth it!

Now back to dancing and singing and tennis! (They fit surprisingly well together! Throw tennis moves into dancing, dance while playing tennis!) Eee!

Yay! You've seen it! I wasn't sure if you'd like a live musical version of TeniPuri. Cause it is kind of scary if you think about it. I've seen it several times now though, and sure, it's cracktastic, but I just love it. It's so addictive too. I want to watch it again even as we speak. ^^ The dancing is hilarious, with the hip-shaking and the mock break-dancing numbers.

I think I'll join you in this trip to Japan to molest these actors for research purposes. ^_~

Yes and yes! I only just made it through LJ, I've not touched my new email yet, but I want to go watch it again!

I wasn't sure if you'd like a live musical version of TeniPuri.

You know, I wasn't sure either. If it hadn't been done so ... "well"? If it didn't turn out like it did, I might not have liked it, but it's cracky but cool! And seeing the characters alive/as people makes it even easier to lust after them!

Cause it is kind of scary if you think about it.

Very, very scary, but it works. Funny how well tennis and dancing mix...

I hope someone will make a subtitled version soon! I'm dying to know what the songs are about.

And eee! You have the best icons. :)

HAHA! Good luck with that ;)

Eee, thank you! Hm, or maybe you should wish him the good luck! He'll need it. ;)

As in: good luck running away from the lust-crazed fangirl? hehe. Now if only my hot anime boys were real. Alas, I must be content with molesting the computer screen.

Yep!

Alas, I must be content with molesting the computer screen.

Heehee! That must make such smudges on the glass! ;)
