Oh my, @landofanimes where to even begin? xD

Personally, I thought the whole cast was great. The main 5 were super adorable and Riona as Tuxedo Mask was 👌👌👌

The show itself (the “plot” part) is quite short and everything moves quickly through song and dance. There was little to no dialogue and in fact, less singing than I expected. It’s very focused on the dancing and the choreography was well done. This is my first time experiencing something by Takahiro and I was extremely impressed!!

The lack of dialogue makes the show work well for international audiences and while there were subtitles, I didn’t really feel they were necessary.

The few songs that they do were pretty catchy! I absolutely loved how they fit Otome no Policy in there. I was tearing up.😭 After the plot, there is a concert which consisted of Heart Moving, A Single Rose, a Dark Kingdom song (don’t know the name), La Soldier, We are Sailor Guardians and Moonlight Densetu (acting as more a curtain call). The main 5 and Tux run into the audience (just like previous curtain calls) and it’s just super fun.

Couple other things to note was the use of the projection for special effects. I was really impressed with it! I love the “opening” sequence they made that uses the manga, making it kind of like animated manga. The use of a few props.and costume changes were great. There’s a really hilarious scene with Usagi daydreaming about Tuxedo Mask that uses props. I don’t wanna spoil it so I won’t give any details. The NY fans going def need to go in blind because it makes for a great time.

One I guess somewhat negative point about the actual show is that neither Beryl nor Kunzite get speaking or singing roles during the plot part of the show. I felt like there needed to be a DK song fit in there somewhere, something to express Beryl’s motivations beyond what you were interpreting from the dancing and knowledge of the series.

Another kinda sorta but not really “negative” was how loud the crowd was with cheering. Kinda felt at times everyone was over doing it and couldn’t hear some stuff but overall it wasn’t a huge deal. I was just as excited as everyone else so I won’t really fault anyone for that. xD I think the cast loved all the cheering, though I imagine might have been a slight culture shock? I dunno how loud Paris was compared to us. xD

On a more personal note, I just so happened to sit a row in front of a bunch of Japanese people, mainly the ambassador of Japan and Takahiro himself! I was really surprised!! I also got VIP tickets and it was totally worth it. The girls were so cute and loved that I thanked them all in Japanese. The Jupiter and Venus especially so. xD

Lastly, a few tips for the NYC attendees.

-If you purchased VIP tickets, be sure to read any emails sent from the venue explaining the process. I saw someone mention on social media that they were unable to actually do the high five because they had not been informed properly. :(

-The VIP gift was a fan.

-Bring CASH for the merch. There will be a t-shirt in sizes M or L, a poster and the light pen/lanyard. Prices below.

-Be prepared for crowds! I dunno how big the NYC venue is but the Warner Theater felt like it had been turned into a mini SM convention. It was chaotic but also really cool seeing everyone’s outfits and cosplay.

I think that covers it. xD I have a few pics from the nigh but photos were restricted during the show and the high five so unfortunately I didn’t get anything from that. :<

-Have FUN! the most important thing. ;)

AAAAHHHHHHHH!

It was so good!!
