Mechakucha Maya Miki in Nice Guy!
Some gifs to commemorate the Elisabeth 30th anniversary gala Osaka senshuuraku, which got a livestream but no Bluray release. The last one shows Gun's reaction to Koike Shuuichirou saying that she hasn't changed at all in 30 years. I'd say she has, but only for the better - she's such a powerhouse whether as boy Rudolf or Sisi.
This is also a small tribute to Saeko, who wowed me in the full tsukigumi 05 version (but with Gun as Sisi) in Tokyo. I saw her live in mixed-cast versions in the 20th anniversary gala too but don't remember much of it. She always got Yami ga hirogaru with YuuhiRudolf on the previous gala DVDs, which is fine, but I'm really happy she got Saigo no dansu on the livestream as that was - quite unexpectedly considering my previous impression of her Der Tod - one of the highlights of her full performance. I love that she ends it with a glam rock falsetto and I love her evil little smirks! Her Der Tod seems a lot more confident now, despire constantly getting snubbed by Gun's Sisi and fuming with impotent rage. SaekoTod always comes off decidedly female to me but she upgraded it from lurking crone or witch tossing her hair to mighty demoness or goth-metal singer.
Actually, she had a wardrobe malfunction in "Saishuu no touben" in Tokyo. She pulled up the knife from under her white shirt with such force she ripped the entire shirt open and revealed her skin-coloured undershirt. Which was quite fitting for her new more powerful and passionate take on Der Tod but clearly not intentional. I was a little worried it would spoil the ascension scene for her, but she just fastened the shirt while she had her back turned to walk up the stairs (it seemed it had broken and wouldn't close perfectly) and seemed unaffected by it in the final scene and curtain call. She also said she would do it again in five years if Kiriyan would - and Kiriyan said she would if Saeko would.
Kiriyan, by the way, impressed me too. My favourite Lucheni in the galas is always Wataru - she could do every performance by herself as far as I'm concerned (at least if Rika or Tom won't participate). Kiriyan's Lucheni hasn't left any particular impression on me before, but she seemed to have picked up more cues from Wataru and to have more fun with it. More rock'n'roll. In Madam Wolff's song she impersonated the different prostitutes (differently in Tokyo than she did in the Osaka raku livestream) and when she did "for the elderly there's Mitzi", she waved cutely and said hi like a small girl, which impressed me as a daring choice.
Zunko was not in the best vocal shape (you can actually tell by her hair - she tends to wear her hair so her ears show when more energetic and in stronger voice) but compensated with an extreme creep factor.
I don't like to speak ill of dear old Mariko, but she seemed a bit "fidgety" in this gala, like she tried to squeeze in too many different gestures at once, and also like she'd planned her reactions and performed them too early instead of responding naturally to her co-actors. (You could also see a mishap in the livestream where she couldn't decide which way to tilt her head for the final kiss!) When I saw her live in Tokyo I was also bothered by her choice of neon purple nails. She must have switched to something slightly more discreet in Osaka, but I still don' like how long and pointy they are. Even though her angelic Der Tod got a little more malicious in the galas it doesn't suit him to seem as though he might poke your eyes out!
Tonami was fantastic of course - the entire yukigumi 07 main cast just keeps getting better and better with age and I hope that they continue to perform in the galas forever! Sadly the only glimpse of the amazing MizuTod (as well as YurikaFranz) is in the small trailer from shonichi:
I love them! ❤️❤️❤️

You really recognize their different takes on the role! Mizu lets out the mayhem and Saeko relates strongly to her partner (that’s why she was so amazing together with Gun in the 30th gala!) and Osa is superior but adds more dark human emotions in the gala (her evil glare!)

Seal of the Roses: A Vampire's Requiem (Moon, 2003-04) subs
The subs are timed to my DVD copy.
Warnings for N*zis and the g slur.
I watched this show initially on a whim and completely fell in love with it and Rika. It's a fun and wacky taidan show for her too.
I've also never subbed a show that had so many script and costume differences between the DVD, and Osaka and Tokyo senshuuraku recordings

Maa always wants to touch Yurika... And they are in perfect sync!
Update: Added some more from Land of the Gods - Now on stage.
Casino Royale subs
I subbed Casino Royale, and I'd like to think I did a better job than the official livestream subs. This is not a subtle script - Koike is certainly no Masatsuka. It was relatively fast and easy for me to translate but I'm honestly not sure it's better with subs. The dialogue is mainly for infodumping (plus jokes) and the same basic plot points are repeated over and over. I don't know why they keep giving Koike these two-acts! An exercise in economical writing would be good for him. He's had some luck with really strong source material such as Elisabeth, Casablanca and Great Gatsby. Of his original works, Seal of Roses is the best, and certainly not for the subtle plot. Casino Royale is like that - a fun, swashbuckling adventure showing off Yurika in sharp suits instead of Rika in velvet and high boots. Besides general Yurika swagger the highlights are the cool dances and fight scenes. Throwing Romanovs, student revolts, a mad Nazi scientist and a bunch of taidan-worthy references to other Yurika shows into it seems to be in the spirit of the Bond universe so why not. They missed the opportunity to give a more interesting role as Vesper to Kano, but that would have been a very different and sadder taidan show. The dolphin love is too much but I guess we're free to interpret it as just Bond's cheesy pickup lines riffing on Delphine's name. To be fair it might count as the zuka equivalent of giving Bond girls corny pornstar names.
The subs are timed for the DVD and can be found here.
It’s a great show though!
Just finished my first subtitle project! It's not perfect but I feel very satisfied with how it's turned out.
Some notes:
- Mizu does not say "fuck it" in the source material. But it's my subtitles, I get to add the eff bombs. - I was translating by ear. Since I didn't use a script or bilibili subs for reference, I hope there aren't any glaring mistakes - However, if there are, pls feel free to lmk (politely) - For some reason when I was embedding the .srt file into the video, Mizu's very last line ("let's keep drinking") disappeared, however it is in the original file - The subtitle file is available on request if you promise not to share repost or edit it without my permission :)
I hope you enjoy these two hopelessly codependent gays as much as I do <3
