    ok, so I was looking for a translation of the title 'Futari Okuni' ...
    'futari' is 2 and google translate came up with 'country' ...
    but after a search on 'Okuni' it turns out that 出雲阿国 (Izumo no Okuni) was the female originator of Kabuki theatre ...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izumo_no_Okuni
    and then it al kind of falls into place, and would explain the scenes with Hokusho Nori(?) wielding a katana
    180px-Okuni_with_cross_dressed_as_a_samurai.jpg (and now I 「ミュージカル-ふたり阿国」北翔海莉・峯岸みなみ.jpg
    And ... it would explain this pic as well
    56262490_401958860623665_4956165386526523392_o.jpg
    That's the statue of Okuni in Kyoto
    (and お丹 was of course Miichan's character in the play)
    (and now I have to google that :/)


    (several hours later :) )

    I stumbled upon a review of the play of someone who visited it twice
    https://ameblo.jp/lisa1103/entry-12454324675.html
    ====================
    I watched the Meijiza musical "Futari Ankun" for the first time in two weeks.

    I was hoping that they should be evolving (deepening), but the results were more than I expected.

    The performers and the audience were much hotter than two weeks ago. I was glad to see the stage worth the expedition.

    Above all, I was surprised at the growth after Minegishi Minami who plays Otan.

    In Minegishi-san, I felt the same qualities as the gods, such as the losing spirit, strength of will and strong mentality. (This is just reading interview articles etc, and I just thought so.)

    When I saw Minegishi-san's performance, which I thought was the same, I felt the difficulty of this role. Dan is a reckless girl in the first half. A prostitute in the second half. It is a very difficult part to express the duality of women. On top of that, you have to be good at performing "dance" (if it doesn't make you look good).

    Minegishi-san's technical side, which is the second stage in this time, has a good effect because it has the appropriateness and cuteness for a girl in one act.

    But in the second act, we had to be a threat to Akuni, but there was too much divergence between the other casts and the technical side.

    If the person who plays Otami is better at acting, dancing and singing, the story of "two okuni" may have changed.

    It was especially disappointing that when you try to show the dance, you always got in the way and the play never finished until the end. It was such a direction. I could not but feel the lack of things.

    But yesterday, when I performed theater today, I was surprised many times by Minegishi-san's "That?"

    Minegishi-san was able to make the loveliness of Tan leaving one act of childhood even more pronounced. It's really cute. A kind of species that turns your hand around your back and gently put your hand on your arm, natural and lovely ...

    When I played last night, the last scene that appeared in the last scene was making the hair loose and giving a tired atmosphere. I remember that I was beautiful at first. (If this is my memory mistake, please point out)

    I had a sense of incongruity here. Otan leaves Saburo the left of the source, and she goes out on a harsh journey to search for an country while selling her art and sometimes herself. When.

    You also changed the way you say the words "the age has changed", right?

    I felt that my soul was stuck in every other line. The feelings of the baby have been transmitted.

    It is a person who can change to here in two weeks. I think that I wanted you to stay at this level from the first day, but I hope that if there is a re-performing of this performance, I would like to see Minegishi-san's reunion again.

    The musical “Futari Anko” seems to have been the stage where you could show the growth of the girl Otan and the growth of an actress named Minami Minegishi.
    ---------------------------------------------
    Google translate gives Miichan character's name as 'Tan', 'Otan', 'Dan' and 'Otami' ... and frankly ... I have no idea what it should be, apart from that お丹 starts with o :)
    ok,
    (more google)
    the go-on and ka-on readings are たん (tan)
    the kun reading is: あか (aka)
    and finally there are the nanori readings: あかし(akashi); あきら(akira); まこと(makoto)

    I think I'll go with Otan, and so Miichan's role is a coming of age story ... and stands for all the:
    "female outcasts and misfits of the region, particularly those involved in prostitution, Okuni gave them direction, teaching them acting, dancing and singing skills in order to form her troupe."
    (not really a part one would associate with an idol and sort of a bold choice for Miichan)

    btw, sorry for the wall of text ... and I should have researched this earlier of course :/

    Last thoughts on this:
    So Okuni stands for a very brief period in time where some women were able to
    determine their own destiny in feudal Japan (even though most people will think it disreputable)

    Well, after shrimpu, gyoza is Miichan's favorite dish .... remember how she, in '600 seconds', devoured a portion for four :D

    Just like Takamina likes katsudon :)

    (btw: I like gyoza as well, just as I like shrimp :D )


    btw ... on Miichan's instagram there is a short video by Yuko of Miichan sleeping (the captions says 'concentrating' and 'no make-up')....
    2019-05-19_20h20_27.png
    かわいい :inlove:

    and she posted this pic of ホwル from Howl's Moving Castle (which is awesome btw):
    File 19-05-2019, 5 50 01 PM.png
    google translate gives me:
    top:
    are you worried?
    As she goes to see the stage of Haruna Miura and Teppei Koike alone, she may be a little bit troubled with a good-looking guy?
    bottom:
    He loves to be with you from a handsome guy out of reach
    please be confident

    Make of that what you wish :/
    But Miichan ... remember that if you think you are like Sophie i.e. not pretty .... remember ... Sophie turned out to be quite lovely .... and had the same determination as you have ;)

    And Howl was ultimately proven wrong when he said "what's the point in living if you aren't beautiful" :)

    I think Miichan went to Sasshii's fan meeting?

    the table plackard says 'さっしー?のメッセヅを大募集中!'
    "Sasshii no messedzu o dai boshū-chū!'
    'Looking for a new messages for Sasshii'

    hmm, wait ... it was an AKB48 Life and it was on 28 April ...

    ow, scratch that ... someone made a mistake on the poster ... it's Sasshii's Thanksgiving Concert which is today on 28 May :)

    And some screenshots, I guess Sasshii decided to give Miichan some screentime?
    Those two obviously had fun :)

    Sasshii almost literally pulled Miichan out of the shadows :D

    well, it might be a shared 7th place with Yukirin, they scored the same but か 'Ka' sorts before み 'Mi' in Japan ;)
    (but it isn't, as Sakura and Anin share the same score at 16th and 17th with 11.7 as well and Annin (い) would sort before (み))

    So, I scanned that scatter plot (because I'm an おたく like that, I guess ;) ) ... and located Miichan :)
    Pg16dIy.jpg

    x-axis is recognition .. 64
    y-axis is interrest..... 42

    and Yukirin indeed scores a bit better at 66 recognition and 44 interest

    and looking at the plot, while they seem to score low at interest (but the y-axis starts at 40) they score really well at recognition.

    Sasshii scores 85/60

    (bit weird ... they score a lot better at recognition than AKB or Momoiro Clover Z)

    As it was photography of taste different from usual, we put on color control of quick to stimulate feeling more, and color is lapis lazuli! It looks like that because it looks tricky, but it is absolutely cute even when it is natural

    those twin tails look kinda cute :)

    edit: as innosu informed me. カラコン - karakon - colorcon are colored contact lenses
    I read somewhere a long time ago that Miichan almost always wears contacts to make her irisses appear bigger. (and she has been know to wear (or is it rock) glasses occasionally as well)

    btw, I'm a fan of her natural brown eye color :D

    that's kinda funny, I just checked Takahashi Yuyu's Sony site ... it has gorgeous shots of both Miichan and Tano ... but also of Silent Siren...

    which is a nice segway into this:
    ==============================
    SILENT SIRENさんのライブに初参戦しました!可愛くて、パワフルで、それでいてかっこよくて...ステージと客席が両想い♡♡な、本当に楽しい空間でした。今回は恥ずかしくてできなかったけど、一緒に踊りたくなる曲ばかりで次お邪魔する時こそは躍り狂おうと思います。皆さん、お疲れ様でした☺︎
    ------------------------------------------------------
    We participated for the first time in the live of SILENT SIREN! Cute, powerful, yet cool ... it was a really fun space with both the stage and the audience. This time I was embarrassed and couldn't do it, but I think it's going to go crazy only when I'm going to disturb you next time because I just want to dance together. Thank you very much everyone
    ------------------------------------------------------
    D8tfVtJU0AAhJ_0.jpg
    (not sure if it was a 'we' as Japanese doesn't really bother with singular or plural (at least not in the verb conjugation) :) ... you should get that from the context, so it could just be 'I')

    (I'm sure people already have the link to the Sony site, but just to be complete https://www.sony.jp/ichigan/a-universe/professional/18/ )
