Tokyo Alice Talk Session
(Rika) I have this musical to thank, for it has opened my world now to materialistic desires~
(explanation: In the musical, Rika's character is someone who's always chasing after worldly gains. Ok, too extreme >_<, let's just say she always want this and that - branded goods, for example. In real life, she isn't like that, but it may now change >_<)
(Yossi) Actually, I am the type who's waiting for my prince charming. No, if an Oil Shiek would to appear in my life, I would marry him right away!
(Rika) That's realistic.
(????) Which means you will want to try? (marriage.)
(Yossi) Yes (laugh) But there's nobody that's like Sayuri around me.
(Rika) Not even one, right?
(Makoto) Not-Even-One!
(Everybody) (laugh)
The girls talk about their roles and whether they share certain traits with the characters they play. Unlike her role, Rika doesn't go after material things, though sometimes she thinks the same way like her role, carefully weighing the pros and cons when making a decision; Fu's always debating whether or not to buy something. That's when she knew she would have no problem portraying Fu.
Since her real life has nothing to do with being rich and pampered, Yossi finds it hard to imagine what kind of person rich girl Sayuri is. And she definitely has no idea how to behave like a princess with servants at her beck and call, but she can connect with Sayuri's cool demeanour. Cool as not in being indifferent/aloof, but being calm when met with problems.
(Me says...) No Makoto's translate, because this place is for anything/everything i shi yo shi only.
And in case you wanna know...
People are praising Rika alot for her comical role. What surprise/delight them most is her comical expressions and timing. One female fan of the original manga itself blogged how she was apprehensive before the show starts as she imagined the worst the h!p idols would do to her favourite manga, because she thought idols can't act! But halfway through the play, she was already apologising (in her heart) to the girls for misjudging them; Rika's high-pitched voice and exaggerated comical expressions fit the manga character to a T, Yossi is very beautiful (like Sayuri) and Makoto is good too. In the end, she really enjoyed the play.
