Backstage Journal: Saezuki Luna
Kageki, June 2007
Hi everyone This is Saezuki Luna, making her first appearance in Backstage Journal! There's a little bit of material from backstage at the Flower Troupe Tokyo performance, and I'd like to pass it on.
Japanese!?
In the prologue for the revue show, Hatchi-san (Natsumi)'s street man wears a long, grey coat and plays the sax. But for some reason, "Harai"¹ is embroidered on the back of that coat, and moreover, "Yanagisawa" is on the sax...! Hatchi-san, you are an American, right...!?
Duel
Yet another revue show story — in the prologue, after Marin-san (Yuuma) and Miwatchi-san (Aine) come to meet Sou-san, Miwatchi-san and Maa-sama (Asaka) change into tuxedos in the quick-change room, and always come out together. However, one day Miwatchi suddenly threw down her white glove onto the floor and said, "I challenge you to a duel!!" ... Miwatchi-san, what's your reason for being dueling enemies!? It was really too cool, and I had hearts in my eyes, but... You have a quick-change!! Hurry, hurry.
Daily Special Matsuko
The wig stand for Matsuko, whom Osa-san (Haruno) plays, sits in the upperclassman quick-change room, and for two or three days Sou-san drew different eyes and a mouth on it! There were all kinds of patterns, but let me introduce you to a few of them!
(1) "Berubara" Version: It had ☆ in its eyes, and it sparkled and was cute
(2) Cats-Eyes Version: It had long eyes and was scary *cats eyes*
(3) Kabuki Version: She usually used a black pen, but this time she used a red pen for coloring! Incidentally, I hear that Sou-san made it with great self-confidence, but Osa-san's response was that it wasn't very good...
(4) Katou Cha² Version: Spinning glasses, and she even went so far as to use a U-pin to put the hair up on top of the head in a weird shape... ~Sou-san told me, "I drew it awesomely well~", but at that moment Marin-san who was next to me muttered under her breath, "She's very self-satisfied..." No, no, Sou-san is great for having brought them to life one after another!!
Bara-sama
Meo-san (Mano), who transfered in from Moon Troupe, has a new nickname! That name is "Bara-sama"³. Somehow it fits her perfectly, doesn't it Us underclassmen who find things with roses on them give them to Bara-sama
Thanks for reading my Backstage Journal all the way through to the end! Well then, next to the scatterbrained and cute Sumika (Nono), who unexpectedly knocks over the wig stands next to her in the quick-change room
(1) "Harai" - A Japanese family name.
(2) Katou Cha - A well-known comedian.
(3) "Bara-sama" - "Rose + honorific", so could be roughly translated as "Lady/Lord Rose".
