Just a Dream... @cactus-and-mirage - Tumblr Blog

a comic from 2020 based on the a3 stage play take on stranger. in the stage version, zero gives herself up to jon to protect a wounded wolf, and returns his cloak to him as a goodbye. as she bends down to hand the cloak over, the scene is blocked on stage as if she's kissing him (i have to assume this; there is simply no other reason for the way they were posed lol). needless to say, i lost my mind!

bonus:

How you doing a3 do you need to take a nap

(Spoilers some plays, but not the main story)

This year’s Spring Troupe live broadcast (live practice) was interesting too~ No Shiraimu this year to add to the craziness though ww

Link: 【watch period has lapsed】

Favorite moments:

1. Asanii the Pink Police

As usual, we got Asanii making sure everyone wore pink and as usual, a certain someone wore a quite different shade again ww

“Is this pink!?” *grabs Kouchan*

Kouchan called Asanii the Pink Police because of this www

“He’s so strict!”

2. Meteor Trail talk

We only got to hear the first part of the song, but Kouchan says Chikage (Wacha)’s solo part in the second half was really amazing. Wacha then says, “When I heard the demo track, I thought, you’re asking for too much.” (he’s saying that part is hard to sing) Kouchan later admitted that he was relieved that Chikage was gonna sing it and not Tsuzuru.

In a past livestream, I remember it was Asanii who complained that his solo song (I think it was Real Luck) was hard to sing. He said he remembered thinking to himself, “One really has to breathe in order to live, huh” or something along those lines…

Back to Meteor Trail, it was also funny how the other members suggested they do the moonwalk (since the song is tied to the event Moon Traveler), use trampolines while doing acrobatics (with wire) if ever they perform it live www

Wacha reveals that he really did do backflips while jumping on the trampoline when he was younger, but now that he’s 41 (what!) it would be life-threatening now w

3. SakuSakuSakuSaku

A new monthly radio program hosted by Koudai-kun will start this May, where a different guest will join him every month! His first guest is Sakuma Sakuya’s stage actor Yokota Ryuugi! Koudai-kun says Yokota-kun is so pure that it’s like he’s talking to the real Sakuya. Asanii interjects, “You should look at yourself!” (meaning Koudai-kun is also like Sakuya~)

SakuSakuSakuSaku = SAKUma SAKUya (game & anime) & SAKUma SAKUya (stage), plus saku means to bloom, so you get a mental image full of flowers in full bloom~

4. Kouchan the City Boy, Asanii’s life experiences

One of the fan mails they got asked about their experience when they moved to Tokyo. Turns out, among all the members, only Kouchan was born and raised in the city, thus they called him, “city boy” www Koudai-kun even suggested calling him City-chan~~

“So this (pointing to Kouchan’s attire) is what city boys think is pink, huh!” Masa and Asanii teased. Kouchan retorted, “Alright, alright, then please continue your discussion.” (gesturing at the four country boys) Asanii exploded, “Dammit! He’s making fun of us!!!”

Asanii told them his experience when he had no money and was living frugally; eating okonomiyaki with no other ingredients than just wheat flour base, or pasta with just daikon and soy sauce. He also told them his experience during his teens when he worked at a factory in the assembly line.

When they found out that Kouchan didn’t have to do part-time jobs, Asanii told him to “try it just once!” Kouchan seemed eager and asked Asanii to introduce him to that Lego factory (he said it, even though Asanii was careful not to say the name www). Asanii said working at 31 (Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop) would suit him. “You’ll go from 81 Produce (his talent agency) to 31 Produce!” wwww

5. Etude Corner~ (from 49:00)

Edit: Forgot to explain that this part is kind of like charade, each of them is given a prompt and ALL members have to guess it right in order to get a point! If they fail to get 3 or more points, they have to do a punishment game~~

Leader got all of his members’ etude right! Sasuga leader! Kouchan and Asanii did their prompts very well! And like the previous livestream, only one of them was given a different prompt than the others wwww

I won’t be detailed here, please watch it for yourself! A bit sad there’s no Shiraimu to add to the chaos though~~ 🌸🌸🌸

That’s it! Sorry for my chaotic storytelling! It’s better to watch it yourself after all~~ Harugumi saikou~~

honestly one of my genuine favourite things in a3! is how everyone helps muku and kumon reframe their negative thoughts whenever they're going down the Hyodo-Sakisaka Negativity Spiral (or whatever it is yuki calls it) like before the performance for the floral prince muku was like "i'm just a useless potato that just sprouted what if i forget my lines and my costume when i'm on stage??" and tenma was like "it'd actually be pretty impressive if you managed to do that" (probably referring to muku's fear of forgetting his costume onstage bc yknow he'd be wearing it) and izumi said, "i'm sure the audience would find that amusing!" and kumon was worrying about forgetting the timing to go onstage or suddenly standing still onstage and kazu went, "that'll also be interesting to watch!" and misumi said, "i'll stand still with you!" and it's just sooo sweet and it works so well bc just saying "don't worry you'll be fine" not only sounds like empty platitudes but also like,, chances are muku and kumon won't believe that bc of how loud their fears are, so instead reframing their fears in a positive light is much more helpful bc it helps them realise that hey even if they fuck up it's not the end of the world and in fact their mistakes might actually add on more humour to their play which is what the summer troupe is all about
