The Itsutaka series, it's fun to take friends from the drama club.
It's "Itsutaka"!! The "Itsudatte Okashii hodo Daremo ga Dareka Aishi Aisarete Daisan Koukou" (Always ridiculously, everyone loves and is loved by someone at Third High School) series!!
Lolo, lured by the free admission for high school students,
the first time I went to see "Omnibus Story" was at the Arts Theatre.
I got a pen that lights up at the tip, and it was incredibly useful for club activities.
Last year, I also saw "Akite kara" (After getting bored) at Euro Live.
It was nice, partly because it rained a little after I saw it that day.
The day I learned about Suzuki Geronimo. As time passed, I ended up seeing him again through A-Masso. Now, he's the person I listen to on GURUGURU. I like him.
Thinking about it, the casting is also really stylish. No, I really love "Akite kara".
The chairs at Euro Live are really good (personal evaluation).
↑ Note from that time
And now, a revival of Lolo's "Itsutaka series"!!
So exciting!! I made it in time!! Barely a third-year high school student!!!
If this had been a year later, I might not have been able to go see it.
At the very least, I might not have been able to take my friends from the drama club.
That's where the gratitude for free admission for high school students lies.
It makes it easy to invite friends. I want more people to see theater.
I also like the 1000 yen price for high school students and under.
I'm not saying "Make everything a student discount!!" but,
I really think that places that do provide it are bundles of kindness.
It's not like, if they don't provide it, they aren't kind.
It's just that when there is a student discount, you can feel the kindness directly.
I like that I can feel like I'm being seen as one of the people they want to come.
I like the feeling that they're saying "You're welcome to come."
Since I'm someone who wants a place to belong, when they say "You're welcome to come here," I think "Thank you!"
So, I invited my fellow drama club members and went.
Things like starting after 10 minutes of loading in, or the opening buzzer being longer than you'd expect,
I could feel the things that make you go "This is it!" if you've been in a drama club, and that alone is fun.
The way the "Itsutaka" format reaches out to drama clubs is amazing.
What I find a bit frustrating is,
I made it in time to see it while I was a high school student, but,
if it had been earlier, we definitely would have done this for the competition. It's so interesting! We want to do this too! we would have said.
Reading the script made me feel that even more. Ah, they really wrote this for high school students to perform.
It's not just providing a story, but they've left so much room for students to think about the story and the direction when performing this script!!
It looks fun to use this script for club activities.
But, I had already retired long ago. That's the only disappointing part.
Ah, I really want to do theater with everyone from the drama club again.
Isn't it incredibly difficult to do theater outside of club activities!? I'm just whining about it.
The environment of a club, where you can use the school as a rehearsal space without limits and members can gather every day after school, is just too good.
I'm probably always talking about that with the kids from the club.
Let's do it again. How should we do it? I'm definitely going to create an environment where we, who have no money or time, can do theater.
And I think it would be nice if we could do "Itsutaka" then.
I'm glad I didn't go see it alone. It was the right choice to take a friend.
The same goes for being able to talk about wanting to do it again after watching it.
The same goes for being able to share how the curtains and lighting went so well together.
The same goes for looking up mountains because we really wanted to go to the mountains.
The same goes for discussing how the ending might be (reverse) Otome's delusion, or maybe Masakado's fantasy.
The same goes for it being an excuse to hang out since we've had fewer opportunities to meet after retiring from the club.
It would have been fine to savor this alone on the way home, but,
I feel like it was good to experience the youth of talking about a youth we didn't have while we talked.
A good summer.
Please revive Vol. 3 and beyond too!! I'll go see it even after I'm no longer a high school student!!
I want to show it to my juniors too!! I want everyone to see it!!
I want to collect the script clear files!!
I'll probably go. I don't know my autumn schedule yet, but I'll probably go. Because I want to go.
