J-POP

The continuation of the musical story line, which has absolutely everything! Action, great songs and singing voices and of course actors. I loved this part a lot, since it focuses on the Mononobe that are recruited. This time the mononobe has to struggle with his fate, although he wants to return the favor of being saved earlier in life. It's the first time we get to see a variation of such a position. Also Hizen Tadahiro and Mucchan have their genuine struggles and inner conflicts to deal with here. And yet, there's a lot of humour in the musical too! Unlike in Michi no Oku where there's darkness pretty much all the time. I can really recommend this musical if you didn't get it yet. Although you should have watched the following musicals to fully understand/follow the plot: Kishou Hongi, Tokyo Kokoro Oboe, Kousui Sanka no Yuki and Michi no Oku Hitotsu Hachisu. If not though it's still enjoyable, there will be moments and layers that aren't grasped easily.

Ever wanted solos to the duets of Gou on Stage Zepp Tour!? Then you've come to the correct show. The most positive is the feeling of the Gous and Suishinshi & Oodenta, they're having a lot of fun here and spread the vibes. I still think the previous Zepp Tour had a bit more variation and I miss Raita-san's beatboxing skills in this one, the essence lies in the solo songs that emphasize the characters' personalities. The highlight though is still Oodenta Mitsuyo mimicking Kaguya Hime. Enjoy the reboot if you loved the other show, but you're now in desperate need of more solos.
