ok so i realized in my ranking post that the characters are bit all over the place & listen. i dont have time to relay who my favs are ok feelings have developed and evolved in other platforms for years so here under the cut is my character sorter results top 82

so like expect a meltdown from anyone on the top 25 at any time like i said feelings have developed and festered for years ok i will probably not make much sense since i forget people dont live in my brain / have my own hcs.. not in a ego and entitled way in a genuine way btw sooo like . just nod along smile :). also woooow shocker. bakt is top 4. who would have known.

Long awaited cast updates coming soon!

I’m preparing to start cast updates on here in the next couple of days, so for those who have been missing seeing what the boys are up to, please look forward to it! 

Originally I was planning on only starting once rehearsals began, but I’d really like everyone to have the chance to get to know the new cast members as soon as possible, so I’m going to begin earlier, especially since the new Ra*bits cast have already started being super adorable.

I’m hoping to post one twitter post (only those with pictures unless they’re super interesting or related to Ensemble Stars) per cast member per day (unless they don’t post anything of course) and blog entries when interesting or relevant. 

I’m also going to try and work on doing full cast profiles for Knights and Ra*bits in the next couple of days too, so please be patient with me. :)

A few updates

1. I will be doing a fan letter project again for this stage. The last one was so successful that I’d love to receive as many letters for the cast again this time. I’m not going to put up the details until I actually have a ticket for the show in my hand (since the present boxes are located inside the theater) but as soon as that happens I’ll be posting details. In the mean time, please start thinking about who you might want to send something to!

2. I will also be taking goods orders too. The goods list probably won’t be released for a little while longer (although they’re usually pretty early with the list even if not previews) so if you think you might be interested keep an eye on this blog for details. 

3. On a similar note, my local Animate still has some photosets left from the previous stage. I know someone was asking me about the them a while back, so if anyone wants one they will be 700 yen each. Please send me a message if you want one!

The story of the second stage

I got an ASK wanting to know what the story was for this stage, I figured I'd make this it's own post. I'll answer other asks and parts later. While the first stage was about Trickstar coming together as a group, this one had a lot more dramatic feel with the group almost disbanding. After the first stage where they managed to win the Dream Festival, Eichi calls them all into his office and suggests that rather than having to struggle to reach their dream, they disband and each join already successful units. So the stage follows three of them struggling with what to do and deciding to try the other units out while Subaru works desperately to keep them together. Hokuto is sent to join Fine, Mao goes to Akatsuki and Makoto is sent to Knights (but since they weren't actually in the stage he spent the entire time hiding from Izumi. It was definitely a more emotional story than the first one with the group arguing with Subaru and him feeling like he was the only one dreaming of a future with Trickstar together. It caused a lot of tears from the audience (myself included).

Show report

Rather than just answering everyone individually, I went ahead and wrote a report of the stage! Hopefully I answered in there everything people wanted to know but still feel free to ask any questions you might have. :) You can find the report here:

Thank you, everyone!

As you can see from all the translations I posted, Ensemble Stars on Stage came to an end last night with the final show in Osaka. Now I’ve posted all the cast’s thank you blogs and tweets, I wanted to post my own.

When I started this blog I did so partly with the intention of being able to get to know the cast better myself. But I’ve been so happy to see so many followers, reblogs and likes from all of you guys. I never expected the love and success this blog got! As of today, we stand at 258 followers, which is more than I ever expected! Thanks for the support, guys! :D

At the show on Saturday, I safely handed over all the letters and gifts I received for the cast from the fan project. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. I was unable to support the whole cast by writing them all letters myself although I would have liked to, so to be able to plan this project and pull it off so successfully made me so happy! I’m sure the cast will enjoy reading all of your letters, and if the opportunity comes up, I’d love to run this kind of project again.

Thanks also to those people who trusted me to buy their stage goods for them. I bought the final set of goods on Saturday and will be sending everything out this week. Thanks also to everyone who enabled me to feed my random bromide addiction by buying the ones I didn’t want from me and allowing me to buy more! I still have a few bromides and badges left so I’ll be putting them up for sale here soon.

From now, with the show ending, my next plan for this blog is to scan all of the photosets which I bought from the show, as well as the pamphlet if I can do so without damaging it. I should be getting to those throughout the week, so look forward to them being posted.

After that though, updates here will most likely slow down a little. My plan until/if they announce another stage is to continue updating on cast member’s birthdays, as well as continuing to update if cast members are together or talking about Ensemble Stars on Stage. I will not be keeping up here with each cast member individually until another stage is announced, as they will all be doing other work and it’s too much to keep up with. I will probably be keeping up with them myself though so if you ever have any questions, feel free to put them to me.

In the meantime, some of you guys did already but if you’d like to follow me on Twitter I’m over there @tonbo. I’m always looking for more people to flail about stages with! :)

What do you wanna hear?

I'm finally going to see the show today, so if you guys have anything or anyone in particular you want me to look out for and report on then please feel free to send me ASKS now and I'll reply to them all tomorrow! :) I'm very happy to just flail so feel free to send me stupid questions asking how cute people were etc. etc.
