I had a hard time deciding which of the thoroughly depressing videos I've been watching lately to review next. In the end, this is definitely the one I had to go with.

This show is hot. Hot, hot, hot. The chemistry between Asako and Kanami is hot, the music is hot, the dancing is hot.... *shivers* Yeah, this one is definitely a keeper.
Kanami looks stunning. I've never seen her this lovely before. A fake tan looks good on her. ;) This was a great role for her, much better than Juliet. The Zuka Hispanic look is good for Asako too. Wow. Her Roderigo was great. Angst, angst, angst. And this is the play that finally won me over for Ranju Tomu. I loved her Lescaut. Such a ruffian, willing to sell his sister for money, and yet, when push came to shove, in the end he was there for his little sister. *sniffle* I think that scene had me tearing up more than the final scene with the two main stars. Yabuki Shou made an appearance again, as Fernando, and I know I've watched too many Hanagumi shows when I recognize everyone and their cousin twice removed.

Ai rabu Hanagumi! :D
I did see them all! And Kiryuu Sonoka, who I knew I'd seen before somewhere when I saw her pictures in Graph this month.
Nice review btw. Those pictures... *sigh* I might yet become an Asa-fan.
Zuka hispanic... <3
...This is the point where I sell my soul for cash to give to the nice middlemen, but that's just me. ;)

It's possible to not be an Asa fan? I had no idea.....
great show. (but what else would _I_ say about something with asako in a leading role?)
and i love the songs.
Why did everyone have to diiiiiiieeeeee. T____________T
*sobbing sobbing sobbing her little heart out*
Oh god, Mihoko did like the best death scene ever. Some 'siennes overdo the death scenes, but Mihoko just kind of quietly gasped with her hands holding Asako's face and died with great dignity and oooh it hurt to watch, and I was crying, crying, crying.
