Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon : The Super Liveis not an ordinary musical : it features elements not found in original musicals or stagecoach appearance like live subtitles , concert elements , and the incorporation of 2D Zanzibar copal and effects , actuate the " 2.5D " appellative . Satomi Toma(choreographer),Riko Tanaka(Sailor Moon ) , andMakoto Matsuda(lead producer ) model down with the press to discourse the upcoming North American tour of duty ofPretty Guardian Sailor Moon : The Super Liveand the global shock of Sailor Moon . Here ’s a look at some of the key highlights :
Riko , what ’s it like dally such a beloved character ?
RT : It ’s really exciting . I ’ve always lovedSailor Moonsince I was a modest fry . I ’m a small too young to [ have been ] experiencing it last , but I was of the era where I would rentSailor Moonat a video letting shop and watch it – that ’s how much I lovedSailor Moon . Now that I ’m portray the reference , I feel so much passion from throughout the entire world , everybody lovesSailor Moon , and I find that so much playing that character myself .
What exactly is a 2.5D melodious ? What does " Super Live " mean ?
millimeter : It ’s free-base on the musical theme of bringing the two - dimensional world of manga and brio or even gaming [ to living ] in that way . The character reference that are present in 2d are land to life in a 3d living human actor ; it ’s an in - between world of express the 2d in the best elbow room of three-D . You ’ll sleep with what " tops live " mean when you see it ! It has the even song , music , dancing , technology , visuals , projections – so much more than a normal ceremonious melodic . We wanted to respect the situation by key out it and give it a new category name , it ’s almost like a pronunciamento to call it a unexampled affair , and that is our intention of calling it not a melodic but the " super live .
" Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon " is eff for its active natural action sequences . How do you near render the essence of these sequences into resilient stage dancing that get the root cloth while also creating a unused , exciting theatrical experience ?
ST : What I do is realistically , the actors are all unseasoned female , and they ’re not only determine by not only physically how intemperately they can move , they ’re wearing the outfits , costume , it ’s very unlike – it ’s not protective gear , they have a lot of exposed parts of their soundbox . You desire to be safe ; they ’re also wearing gamey heels doing this , which is crazy when you guess about it . There ’s a restriction to what they can do , but what I care about is not only doing something unmanageable but doing something that would appear attractively and elegantly as a movement , so not just making it into a unassailable fight conniption , but to make it visually appear attractive by doing so . I care about the lengths between how it appears with the projection and other ingredient that are visually happening around as well . And to tot a sensation of joyfulness that comes to it as well . keep back the tone of the social movement in sync to what can realistically be done – we have a lot of great professional actresses ; it ’s a first-rate essential element to work it all together with all these in - between lines of get it a naturalistic fight and something that is attractive to be shown on stage is something I care about .
Can you verbalise to the universality of the story and grapheme and its global impact ?
millimetre : The fact that this is a taradiddle that ’s adjust in Japan and the character , Tsukino Usagi , is a Japanese girl – that being depict and toy by a Nipponese actress is something that ’s really interesting and exciting , and we ’re very proud about being able-bodied to land this melodious and beloved narration throughout the globe by being act by jp actresses is something that ’s very extra to us and we ’re very proud to see . Also , because everybody has grown up seeing " Sailor Moon " as a Nipponese anime and manga , they ’re used to that conversance , so this come to lifespan in this way and being still portrayed by Japanese is something that resonates with mass , the consultation as well , so we ’re very excited about that too . During the VIP preview in Pittsburgh , after the show , when the cast comes around for in high spirits fives , someone shout , ' She ’s the actual one ! ' so that get out an impression on me .
What do you desire audiences take away from " Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon : The Super Live ? "
RT : " At [ the VIP preview in ] Pittsburgh , it was so astonishing , the audience was so incredible . I matt-up the love from them so much – I came from Japan doing this , my first clock time doing this outside Japan , and I felt how America is so loving of this production , and I ’m very honored . I require to make certain that this dear character of Sailor Moon and how people depend up to love her can be portray in the skilful way . All 21 city go through America , we ’re really excited to add that sense to everybody . "
ST : When we were in Pittsburgh , we construe so many amazing audiences -they were all prepared and quick , wear thin costumes , and they ’re ready to enjoy Sailor Moon , so it was really exciting and amazing . We understand that we are very esteemed to be portraying that astonishment and drawing card that a Sailor Moon labor has – we are quick to do more than what is expected , and we will go beyond that outlook . We are ready to show that . I hope mass bear something really exciting coming to Sailor Moon , not thinking they ’re just going to see something they know , but get beyond what they are expecting is something we go for to bring to you .
millimetre : There ’s three thing I want people to take home : the first message is … peace and how there ’s a lot of fight and action , but it ’s about how that is a pitiful thing and how important it is , how cherished peace is and that ’s something we need to say . The second matter is a message of love . Sailor Moon is loved by generations of the great unwashed – we see multitude who come , mother and girl , who come together and relish it , dissimilar generation that amount together and they are very glad about it . We want multitude , after look it , to palpate a sense of that love . That does n’t have to be certain partners , it could be , " I want to call my mom and say hello , " that kind of love as well . A message of love is something that ’s important , compassion and love . And this is probably the most important thing , I require people to experience energized . We get energize from the feedback from the audience ; the lovemaking we experience is something that ’s so contagious and we hope the audience experience that love life and excitation and feels refreshed and energize from our production as well . Those are the three things I hope the audience feels fromPretty Guardian Sailor Moon : The Super Live .
