Now if I make it through Friday, I'm golden. @____@

It's kind of a bummer that I'm going to have to come back to campus for printmaking over break though.

In other news, I'm sleepy. Dammit, [livejournal.com profile] puzzlepiece, why are you so easy to talk to for like 3 hours without it feeling like any time has gone by? XD;

Also I know everyone else is raving about it, but FIRST CAST.

mainly their ballad, because that's the only thing I really feel "belongs" to a cast
:: But, as you said, Now and Forever wasn't just given to a different cast, it was given to TWO casts *orz orz orz* I admit to having been miffed, almost offended, at that. XD

Actually, what I'm mostly upset about are:
[1] the presence of two casts. I've always had a problem with double-casting and will always have a problem with it, and even if this is just a guesting thing, the point is IT'S STILL DOUBLE-CAST. If it was 4thCast coming back, and you know 4thCast is my ultimate favorite, I'd be reacting the same way. Okay, maybe less violently. But the thought would still be there! Point is, this is 5thCast's graduation. Let THEM end the show. By THEMSELVES. I may not love them collectively as a cast *is selective*, but I still think this is unfair to them. I'm upset because for both of my favorite casts, so much was taken from them: 3rdCast by having Hyoutei in their first myu and then doing THREE myus with Rikkai, and 4thCast by having Rikkai in their first myu, less than half the time of DL5th, a myu with Hyoutei, and then being double-cast. And I was hoping that with 5thCast getting two storyline myus to themselves *INSERT BITTERNESS HERE*, when DL7th rolled around they'd get all the attention that 4thCast never fully got because of them. So. :(
[2] THE FANS. Long story.


(I'm not making sense anymore. Brain is officially asleep.)

Yeah, I was a little wtf about Now and Forever going to fourth cast at their graduation, but I mean, it wasn't the end of the world, and in the same right, if first cast sings, I don't know, some song with fifth cast (which I doubt would be their ballad because they're just getting it now, aren't they?) I also don't think it would be the end of the world.

I see what you mean about double-casting, and understand that, but I don't think people loved third cast less for Hyoutei and Rikkai, or fourth cast less for Rikkai or fifth cast. Honestly, I cried just as much when fourth cast graduated as I would have if fifth cast wasn't there, and I was just as moved. I still cry when I listen to the CD of DL6. I don't feel like any of these people are robbing people of the spotlight, and while double casting is a bummer, these musicals couldn't happen without the rival teams as well. If anything, I'd think Rokkaku fans should be miffed that Hyoutei got to be in their myu and Higa fans should be miffed that Rikkai got to be in their myu. But I don't honestly feel that any Seigaku suffered from the presence of another Seigaku. But again, to each their own, and I'm not going to say that either of us are wrong or right on a matter of personal feelings. ^^;;

As to the fans... well, fandom will be fandom :|

(Aww. Sleep?)

5thCast already has their ballad -- they performed it at the Sendai senshuuraku, maybe they sang it at all other prefecture senshuuraku performance, IDK. According to reports it's different from all the other Seigaku ballads, there are no solo lines this time around. AND THERE WAS ALSO OISHI/FUJI MOMENT IN THE CHOREOGRAPHY AND WHILE I AM ICKED AT THE IDEA OF TSUJI/TAITO, THE POINT IS IT IS STILL OISHI/FUJI. WATCH ME FANGASM.

Rokkaku fans should be miffed that Hyoutei got to be in their myu
:: *RAISES BOTH ARMS AND LEGS*

And I totally didn't mean to lump all fans together in that previous comment. Actually, I'm just really pissed at one fan in particular and the others I'm annoyed at, it's all out of association with her XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


(I would, but my body doesn't want to D: If that makes sense. It's already 3am but I'm still keyed up.)

Sorry, I guess I'm not up on that stuff. But either way, I don't think they'd have first cast sing it.

That I understand a little more. (I hate Rokakku, so I didn't care, but I understand either way XD) But I don't think they took away from Seigaku at all.

Ah XD; Well, I don't know who you're talking about, but I'm sorry you're pissed and I hope you feel better soon? XD;

(Aww. ;___; Good luck! I'm a chronic insomniac so I know the feeling.)

AFAIK nobody on LJ's really written any senshuuraku reports? I just read it on Japanese blogs and from an American friend of mine who saw the last three Sendai shows and emailed me right after curtain on the senshuuraku. So nobody really knows that 5thCast already has their ballad ^^;

(Or, to be more accurate, I am a huge fan of Irei and Saeki, and by association Rokkaku. Yeah, I suck XD)

Okay, good. I guess I'm not totally out of the loop, then XD;

Whereas I hate Irei's Saeki (I had no problems with Saeki in the anime or manga) because he comes across to me as a huge jackass. XD;;;

I'd actually argue that being with Hyoutei and Rikkai helped 3rd and 4th cast, not hindered them. It got people watching them that would have normally not cared so much. Like me who has only seen pieces of ShitenMyu, doesn't even care about the new RikkaiMyus, and only saw HigaMyu just a few days before DL5th. >.>; But even being a huge Hyoutei fan, I loved 3rd cast in their own right 'cause they deserved the attention they got from me.
