Assalamu'alaikum.. Hello everyone! Ah... It's been a long time since my last post here. Now, here I
post review about Toumyu Mihotose no Komoriuta. This is the 3rd musical of
Touken Ranbu. I write this review just based on my own opinion after watching
the musical. If you want the musical, just go here and ask the owner nicely and follow the rules, because I don't own the link. ^_^.
The story of this musical takes place
in February 1543 in Mikawa, near Okazaki Castle, where Nikkari Aoe and
Okurikara were sent for expedition. During their expedition, the History
Retrograde Army unexpectedly appear. The History Retrograde Army appear in
order to kill baby Tokugawa Ieyasu, but they couldn’t make it and they can only
kill the Lords of Matsudaira clan who take care of Tokugawa. Hirotada who bring
the baby Taokugawa entrust the baby to Nikkari and Ookurikara who are in that
place before his death. While in Citadel, there is a new arrival sword named
Sengo Muramasa. Soon after his arrival, he was sent to Mikawa along with
Ishikirimaru, Tonbokiri, and Monoyoshi Sadamune because of the History
Retrograde Army’s appearance in order to help Nikkari and Ookurikara.
In Mikawa, the sword
boys realize that the history has already changed bacause of Matsudaira
family’s death. But the baby Tokugawa is still alive, so Ishikirimaru has an
idea to restore the history. They will take place of Matsudaira family to take
care of baby Tokugawa in order to restore the history, and of course they
change their name according to the actual Matsudaira family members.
As time goes by, their
mission comes near to the end. It becomes a big dilemma for everyone, except
Muramasa, especially Ishikirimaru and Monoyoshi. When the history comes to the
line of Nobuyasu’s seppuku, Ishikirimaru couldn’t make it. Because of that, the
Kebishii appears to eliminate every strange presence in history, including The
History Retrograde Army. Skip skip, in
the end -it doesn’t even matter- the sword boys was success complete their
mission.

Fewh... After watching
Toumyu from Trial Performance until this one, for me, Atsukashiyama Ibun is
still my favorite, but the musical project comes to the better progress. The
style of story telling is different from the previous musicals, in this
musical, it looks like Ishikirimaru is telling his experience during mission
along with his sword fellows, is the narrator in this musical. While the
previous musicals, the story is directly to the actual story. The opening song
is also different, it’s Nuide Misemashou, song about Sengo Muramasa’s arrival.
The ‘Shitsujin’ song is only sung by Ishikirimaru, Muramasa, Tonbokiri, and
Monoyoshi because in the actual story, Nikkari and Ookurikara was sent for
mission first. Touken Ranbu song in this musical becomes the opening song for
battle scene.
For the actors, in my
opinion, they play their character very well, better than the actors in
Bakumatsu Tenrouden. Watching this musical, I can’t get Oota Motohiro as Sengo
Muramasa off my mind. His character really pisses me off, but I can’t stop
laugh every time he appears. Sengo Muramasa’s personality in this musical is
really... eeewwwrrr... Yah, sebut aja dia banci kaleng yang hobi pamer paha mulus walaupun gak semulus paha para Awataguchi. *ditebas Sengo* Well, he played as Sengo Muramasa very
well, makes me drift into his character, good job Oota Motohiro! XD
Ishikirimaru’s
character is little bit out of control in this musical, especially in battle
scene with kebiishi. Ishikirimaru and Tonbokiri looks so fatherly, and
Monoyoshi looks like a big brother. For me, Nikkari and Ookurikara are little
bit fogetable character. But overall, the actors are really into their
characters, the story is good, and the scene where Ishikirimaru had to kill
Nobuyasu and Tokugawa died in Monoyoshi’s arms while Monoyoshi sings the
lullaby is success to make me cry. And finally, Ookurikara smiled! Kyaaaa....!!!!
XD
Owh, I like the humor
in this musical! Well, for me Sengo Muramasa is the humor itself in this
musical because I can’t stop laughing watching him. Hahahahaha.. but, my
favorite is part when Muramasa teased Monoyoshi and tried so hard to get
attention from Ookurikara. Monoyoshi is so straight here makes Tonbokiri try to
make Monoyoshi not to be ‘contaminated’ by Muramasa.. hahahahaha. And I like to
watch how Muramasa try to get Ookurikara’s attention, it’s so funny! Somehow I
feel that Zaiki Takuma is trying not to laugh watching Muramasa’s act, while
the other actors can at least just smile, but Zaiki Takuma must keep stay cold.
For the action and the
battle scene, it’s better than perevious musicals even though there are some
scene that the actors couldn’t make it very well, but I appreciate they try
their best. Like Bakumatsu Tenrouden, in this musical, there is slow motion
action too in battle scene. I like the slow motion in scene Battle of
Okehazama, where Ishikirimaru looks so confused while looking around in the
middle of the battle, feels like I’m watching movie.. hahahaha.. But
unfortunately it’s too short... And for the Kebiishi, well, I salute to the
suit actor. He can move so energetic in that look heavy costume.
For the singing part,
hmmm.. I think it’s just little bit better than the previous musicals. In this
musical, I think that Oota Motohiro and Zaiki Takuma have the best singing
voice, and Yokota Ryuugi has the weakest singing voice. Well, for singing part,
I will write it more in different post. I also write the review of the songs in
this musical both of in the musical and live one by one.
That’s all my review
about the musical performance. Overall, this musical is better performance than
previous musicals in every aspect. Sorry for my bad review and bad English. Critics and
suggestion are welcome. See you next post. ^_^
