Wild Dog Gang in AU @evelyn-and-art

Here are all the images of the gang from different leaders. The last image depicts the collapse of the gang

1) Leadership under Ryuji Saito (the gang was more like bandits and wreaked destruction)

2) Leadership under Yuno Tsuchiya. The gang was reformed and became more calm and helped people

3) The collapse of the gang

Just finished my Sakura amigurumi last night 🫶🏻

You even included the lil heart his cowlicks made too 🥺

um…

hmm 🤔

Okay so the promotional cover does not do these actors justice. I have thoughts about this casting but this is in no disrespect to the actors (I think they’re all great especially since I’ve seen some of them before).

Andō Yūto (Suō Hayato), Ishikawa Ryōga (Sakura Haruka) & Yokoyama Kazan (Nirei Akihiko)

It’s my first time hearing of Ando and Yokoyama, so I’m not entirely sure what to expect which leads me to not knowing to feel about their casting. I think Suo’s looks are fine, I’m not really sold on Nirei’s makeup and wig. Yokoyama’s face is already cute (his twitter for reference) and that wig does not do his features justice (nirei’s freckles are not even prominent im crying). Now, how do I feel about Ishikawa being casted for Sakura? He’s not my first pick but honestly I’m not mad about it. I think he looks good in his solo pic. Just the promotional cover threw me tf off. Like he looks great even in his solo pic.

Nakamoto Taiga (Sugishita Kyōtarō) & Takahashi Karin (Tachibana Kotoha)

I also don’t know how to feel about Nakamoto since I never knew of him ‘til now so he might grow on me later on so idk. BUT HOLY SHIT TAKAHASHI! I knew her as Sailor Saturn in the Un Nouveau Voyage musical! This may be a biased take but I like it a lot.

Takahashi Shunichi (Hiragi Tōma) & Sana Hiroki (Umemiya Hajime)

Liking Hiragi’s looks so far, not super familiar with his actor but I do remember him and Choji’s actor being in the Prince of Tennis musical. Tbh with y’all, I already hc Sana as Tsubakino in my mind because he did an amazing job with Maraich Juschenfe from Patalliro! (GUYS PLEASE LOOK HIM UP I BEG OF YOU HES SO FUCKING PRETTY) so I’m a bit disappointed with his casting as Umemiya (that’s cuz of my expectations) but who knows maybe he’ll convince me when the play releases.

Imamaki Hikaru (Tomiyama Chōji), Satonaka Masamichi (Togame Jō) & YUKI (Sako Kōta)

I like how Choji looks and Imamaki is chef’s kisses. Never heard of YUKI before but character appearance wise looks pretty good. Now, how to feel about Satonaka as Togame. I maybe so fucking bias rn because he played (my favorite characters) Bluewer (Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler) and Kyoya (OHSHC) in their respective musicals but hotdamn. Bonus for Satonaka’s voice. Also not my first pick but um I get it behind it. *tucks hair*

Kawano Ryōta (Arima Yukinari) & Chatani Yuta (Kanuma Minoru)

These two are the most familiar faces to me since Kawano was casted for Asahi in Gekidan Haikyuu!! and Chatani was Ojiro in the BNHA stage play. Appearance wise (in terms of similarities to the character and not their overall attractiveness), I like it. They look really good but um Arima’s wig is a little weird (but i’ll give it pass because undercut/buzzcut wigs are hard unless the actor willingly shaves off their hair).

Bringing this post back just to say that the cast successfully won me over 🙂‍↕️.

(As if there was any doubt to begin with lmao)

My thoughts now:

Me when they announced the play back in September: oh, hmm. Interesting.

Me after watching the stage play:

GUYS IM OBSESSED WITH THE CAST & CREW. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES BEING SANAMIYA (Sana Hiroki - Umemiya Hajime), SATONAKA (Satonaka - Togame Jo), IMAJI (Imamaki Hikaru - Tomiyama Choji) AND ISHIKAWA (Ishikawa Ryota - Sakura Haruka) OMG THEIR VOCALS?!?! THE URGE TO REDRAW THEIR INTERACTIONS ON THEIR TWITTER IS SO REALL.

THE CHOREOGRAPHY, THE SILLY JOKE ADDITIONS, THE STAGE INTERACTIONS!!!

THE SINGING?? THE SOUNDTRACKS?!?!? i fear i'll be replaying this for the next couple of days. ITS SO GOOD 😭.

If you'd like to avail tickets for viewing the stage play + extras (cast talking about the play & their experiences), you can check their availability on ABEMA PPV and/or Theater Complex Town! There's a general ticket (viewing until Jan 26th) and 22-week archive (viewing until Feb 2nd).

This week will most definitely be 80% of me vaguely talking about the stageplay. More specifically how Ando (Suo) made Suo so babygirl from beginning to end, me praising Satonaka's (Togame) & SanaMiya's (Ume) vocals and my absolute favorite background interactions. Of which there are a lot but I'll mostly be alluding to the ones Nii-sensei already drew and the improv ones.

NIREI.

I LOVE NIREI SO MUCH I VOTED FOR HIM

Voting page accessible via VPN

LETS GET HIM UP THERE 🙌🙌

kotoha singing? sign me up please!

...wait wdym ume is dead? hey wait a sec, exCUSE ME-

the dragon and the freckled princess (belle 2021) x wind breaker au

The current design sheets for this au because Sakura’s is on pause due to the sheer lack of understanding in what i'm doing with his U anatomy. Kotoha’s has been done since like christmas week and i still have no clue on Sakura

Ah, I just realize I might have to do a mini character sheet for Sasaki...anywayss

In this AU, Sakura and Sasaki are foster brothers. Partly because I miss Sasaki and the other half of me doesn’t want to make an OC when best younger brother shaped Sasaki from Chapters 5-29 is right there!! anyways, i miss my son.

Also, yes, Umemiya is dead in this AU. The plot of this AU couldn’t start without it. I had originally planned on using the late Umemiyas in place Suzu’s (Belle’s protagonist) mother but I was convinced by a moot to kill of Umemiya for the one-two punch.
