I just wanted to put in a word here (one I've been meaning to put in for a few months and have been too lazy to, so apologies if it's all a little vague now) about the Tokyo senshuuraku.

I saw Fancy Dance live a couple of times, and so I was a little disappointed in some of the camera angle choices on the commercial DVD (although, don't get me wrong, I adore the DVD). Also, I couldn't wait for Sky Stage to broadcast the revue because of the scenes with replaced music--I wanted to experience the original again.

But I was hugely disappointed. I've never seen a raku where everyone seemed so drained; I felt like I was watching them go through the motions (painfully!) as they counted down the seconds until they could sleep for 48 hours straight. I almost felt embarrassed for them, watching it. Without the passion of the actors, it just becomes glaringly obnoxious and stilted choreography. Also, the music sounded shriller, and I think they rearranged some of it. :/

On the other hand, they did put more wide-angle shots during Tango Noir.... I could watch Masaki and Kiriyan dancing in synch once more<3

(Original thoughts on the live performance and the DVD.)
