00:55Oh
01:25Taiwai no Fataru
01:55Is that so? Sorry
01:57I'm clueless about all this
01:59They're amazing
02:01I sure couldn't do it
02:05And that's all the more reason
02:07That you know
02:09I simply have to say it
02:15Regarding the script
02:17Is it too late to ask you to revise it?
02:21Of course not
02:23But what part exactly?
02:25Which part you ask?
02:27Well um
02:29All of it
02:53My impression of La La Lai was that they're hardliners
02:57So I can't believe they took on a 2.5D play
02:59That said
03:01Half the cast aren't even company members
03:03So there's no need to be nervous
03:05Uh
03:07I never said I was nervous about it
03:09Uh
03:11Melt
03:13Hey
03:15I heard
03:17Producer Kaburagi
03:19Had a hand in the casting of actors for the play
03:21I guess that makes us the Kaburagi group
03:23I'm happy to work with you again
03:25Feelings mutual
03:27Why did you pause before you said that?
03:29Well
03:31I mean I understand
03:33I'm sure you're thinking
03:35With this guy who can't act worth a damn
03:37It'll be the sweet today nightmare all over again
03:39Busted
03:41That was my first time acting
03:43And I won't tell you to cut me some slack
03:45But it's been nine months since then
03:47And I've also been
03:49Studying up
03:51I should be better than last time at least
03:53So tell me straight up if I'm no good
04:01Hello, my name is Melt Narushima
04:03Represented by Sonic Stage
04:05I'll be playing Kizami
04:07I look forward to working with you
04:09Good morning, my name is Kana Arima
04:11With Strawberry Productions
04:13I'm playing Sidigi
04:15I'm also with Strawberry Productions
04:17Aqua Hoshino
04:19I will be playing the role of Toki
04:23Wow, you guys are all early
04:25Rehearsal's not for another ten minutes
04:27I believe we're all here
04:29So let's start with the introductions
04:31I'm Rida Sumiaki
04:33I'm the producer in charge of the whole project
04:35And this guy here is our incredible director
04:37Toshiro Kendaichi
04:39The script writer Goa
04:41Sakuya
04:43Sakuya who has a wealth of 2.5D play experience
04:45Nice to meet you
04:47He's in the Kaburagi group too
04:49Hmm
04:50And now the La La La performers
04:52Norio Mita
04:54Koyuki Yoshidomi
04:56Mei Arashino
04:57Kido Harashibara
04:59Ryoma Funato
05:00Akane Kurukawa
05:02I look forward to working with you
05:08Last but not least, our protagonist
05:14Wake up, you idiot
05:16Sorry about that
05:18I'm the play's lead portraying
05:20What's my character's name?
05:22What's my character's name?
05:24Oh whatever
05:25Taiki Himekawa
05:26Hello
05:30Let's all work together as a team
05:32To turn the Tokyo Blade stage play into a massive success
05:35Let's work together
05:37Today was for introductions
05:39But it seems we've got basically all the key figures here
05:42Let's go ahead and do a script reading
05:44We'll start at half past
05:46Do what you need to get settled
05:48We'll begin shortly
05:50Yes sir
05:51Hey Aqua, it's been a while
05:54Well you say that, but
05:56We've met a couple times to keep up appearances
05:58Yeah, that's true
06:00But I'm happy that we get to do another job together
06:04After all, on Love Now I caused you nothing but trouble
06:09Theater happens to be my main line of work
06:11So this time around I'll be the one to help you out
06:14You're awfully confident
06:16No, I didn't mean it like that
06:18This isn't a confidence thing
06:20I still have a lot to learn
06:22It's just that we've got a lot of scenes with each other
06:26So I want you to know that you can always depend on me
06:29I see
06:30I appreciate it
06:32I'll let you know if anything comes up
06:38The two of them are dating, aren't they?
06:40I heard they got together on some reality show
06:42Ugh
06:44Well, apparently that's how it went down on the series
06:46But from what I can tell it's purely business
06:48Besides, fans would riot if they parted ways so soon after kissing
06:52I admit they do seem pretty close
06:56Hmm
06:58Anyway, the characters they play in this show are engaged
07:01Wasn't it a deliberate casting choice?
07:04It's a good fit, right?
07:06I strongly dislike the linking of actors' real lives and onstage personas
07:10It's distracting and unprofessional
07:12I mean basically the production resonates more broadly if the info the audience has is uniform across the board
07:18And yet, the promoter's fondness for those small additions of dubious significance hasn't changed for two centuries
07:24Ugh
07:26Looks like somebody is touchy
07:28I mean on suite today, you were more
07:30That was because I was the leader of the cast
07:32I didn't want to be responsible for ruining the mood on set
07:36Now, you're seeing the real Kana
07:38I wish you wouldn't have been as considerate to me back then
07:42If you would have torn into me at the very beginning
07:44I would have realized how bad I was sooner and not embarrassed myself
07:48Anyway, that's an excuse
07:51Forget I said that
07:53The two of us have a lot of scenes together
07:55I'll show you what I can do
08:00Kanpai!
08:02Hey, thank you for making time in your busy schedule to meet me
08:07My work is serialized monthly
08:10I'm usually free as long as the deadline isn't close
08:12It's fine
08:13Still, I appreciate you coming to see me
08:16Oh, please don't be silly
08:18You might have been my assistant back then
08:20But you're a full-fledged successful author now
08:23As a matter of fact, you have long since surpassed me
08:26A weekly serialized manga artist with a super big-time hit manga and anime
08:31Personally invited me out drinking
08:33Of course I'd show up
08:36Anyway, you wanted to talk?
08:40I was thinking
08:41You have experience with anime and TV drama adaptations, right?
08:46Well, this is a first for me
08:48So I'm pretty clueless
08:50There's a lot I would like to say
08:52But I'm not sure how far I can speak my mind
08:55Uh...
08:57The Tokyo Blade stage play has been moving forward
09:00But it's a bit...
09:01You know...
09:03Do you think...
09:04You would be willing to come along?
09:06To watch a rehearsal with me?
09:08I don't think there's anything I could help you out with
09:13But sure, I'll be there
09:15Thanks a lot
09:17I feel a lot better now
09:19Check, please!
09:24Sorry, you didn't need to treat me
09:26Well...
09:27The oldest one is supposed to cover these kinds of things
09:30On to the next spot
09:31Uh...
09:32Is it okay if I brush my teeth first?
09:35I begin to feel gross if I don't brush as soon as I'm done eating
09:39Oh...
09:40I remember now
09:41I'll be right back
09:42Even in the collection of weirdos that's the manga industry
09:48Habiko is one of the odder characters
09:51You can draw manga on your own if needed
09:53But adaptations to other mediums involve many people
09:56Which requires communication skills
09:58Yes, sometimes the creative teams can completely change the intended vision
10:03But I've heard of many cases where the original creator unduly inserts themselves
10:08Throwing the entire production into chaos
10:10So a certain degree of give and take is needed
10:14And on that point...
10:16Abiko is...
10:20I guess I'll use the restroom too
10:30Huh?
10:34Hey, what are you doing?
10:37I'm double brushing
10:38If you think about it, you can brush it twice the speed if you use two toothbrushes
10:42I hate the idea that I'm making you wait
10:44So I'm going to double speed
10:46Yep...
10:48She's a weirdo
10:50I hope there's no disputes over the Tokyo Blade play
10:54That's right...
10:56Fix the entire script
10:58I knew it!
11:00All of it?
11:02That's a tough ask
11:04We already got your approval for the script and started on rehearsals
11:08We'll be open to the public in twenty days
11:10I've already said to revise it a number of times now
11:14But... I was told once you see a rehearsal, you'll understand that this is a good script
11:20So I said if that's true, I guess you have my okay
11:22However, it is not good, which means you are all denied
11:28Excuse me
11:30First off, allow me to apologize for submitting a script that wasn't in line with your wishes
11:34Of course, even at this stage, I intend to fix whatever I can
11:40But that being said, there was lots of back and forth beforehand
11:46And I did my very best to consider your intentions
11:50At this point, how do you propose I revise it?
11:54I see, so you're the one who wrote this garbage?
11:57I believe I already pointed out the parts I wanted fixed
12:01But it seems you failed to grasp it
12:03How should you revise it?
12:05Are you actually even reading through Tokyo Blade?
12:08Of course I'm reading it! Of course!
12:10Moreover, creating a script that draws out the manga's charm is-
12:14This is your script even after reading it?
12:16The absurd mess you wrote
12:18It's full of things the characters wouldn't say
12:21As well as things they'd never do
12:23It's okay if you need to change some plot lines
12:27But, don't you think it's rude to change the characters?
12:32My babies aren't the idiots you've written them to be!
12:36Uh, well, the nature of stage plays is such that there needs to be-
12:41No, if you point out the parts to fix, I'll handle it
12:45Like I said, all of it!
12:47No matter how many times I request it, it doesn't get fixed!
12:50I thought I was simply being made light of
12:53But it seems the script writer genuinely doesn't grasp the material!
12:56I mean, if this is what he came up with after reading the original
12:59Then this guy's creative ability is absolutely-
13:02Oh my god, Abby, go-
13:04Go with me!
13:05Just come over here!
13:06No, let me-
13:07Let's take this conversation and clear!
13:11So are we back to square one then?
13:13I guess that does it for today
13:15Okay, I'm out
13:24When it comes to media franchising, it's quite common for there to be disputes between the original creator and the script writer
13:31As for the workflow for producing a script
13:35The first draft is based on a briefing with the producer and the director
13:39Next, rewrites take place for drafts 2 and 3
13:42And then when it's near completion, it will be checked by the original creator
13:46I suspect that Abby Ko was dissatisfied with the script that was passed on to her
13:51Undoubtedly, she was more or less fuming when she wrote instructions for revisions and sent them off
13:57But there were a lot of intermediaries between the original creator and the script writer
14:03So the revisions basically become a game of telephone
14:07Abby Ko is the type who relies on her emotions rather than logic
14:10So it's possible even her editor couldn't grasp her intentions
14:14This part's a highlight but it's not moving and it hasn't been revised
14:19They've turned into a gross group of attention seekers who glibly chatter about their feelings
14:24Fix this mess!
14:25Abby Ko suddenly gets animated when the topic turns the manga
14:29It's hard to organize everything she's saying and put it down in writing
14:32I can't pass these angry sounding comments to the client as is
14:37I've gotta tone this down somehow
14:40Are you kidding me?
14:42The author's team doesn't know the first thing about place
14:45These revisions would call for a new set which is impossible
14:48We need to stay on schedule
14:49Also we can't cut the protagonist's time on stage
14:52Pass that on to Goa for me
14:54Sure
14:56It seems the original creator would like you to express the emotions in a more evocative way
15:03Huh
15:04Okay, I guess I'll add something here then
15:07I personally think he would be more moving with fewer lines though
15:10But if that's what the author wants, so be it
15:13Now it's even more disgusting!
15:15The script writer must be a hack!
15:17Look, the actors will be starting rehearsals soon
15:20So for now the production side would like to go with this script
15:23They say that once you actually see the performances, you'll come around
15:27And understand their point of view
15:29What do you say?
15:30You think it will really be better when I see the actual play?
15:34Well, I guess it's okay then
15:36There aren't any creators who would intentionally seek to make the work they're in charge of worse
15:42Discord arises even when both parties are giving their best
15:47Mediators are unable to convey that dispute well
15:51Somewhere in the world there's an original creator and script writer fighting even as I speak
15:56Because anger isn't something that's suddenly boiled up
16:00It's likely a sense of protest born of not seeing her intentions reflected in the slightest
16:06Frankly, I think this script writer simply isn't fit to work on my material
16:13Look, this revision here, her wisdom's vanished and she just looks like some idiot
16:19He's got no feel for it
16:21His revisions missed the mark and he doesn't understand entertainment
16:25Let me write the entire script
16:27Wait a second! That would be...
16:29It's a no-go for you too, right?
16:31Yeah, absolutely
16:34I will do it
16:36Otherwise, I'll rescind my permission for the play
16:39But if you do that, there will be all kinds of...
16:44It'll be tens of millions for breach of contract?
16:46That's fine, I'll pay it
16:48You just can't go and pay with your own money
16:51Ultimately, it's the company that has to pay
16:53Then pay off
16:54It seems this is what Abiko wants
16:59So would it be possible to go forward with this new plan?
17:02But the playwright, what exactly am I supposed to tell him?
17:06I don't require payment
17:08Continue to pay him
17:10And you can leave his credit exactly as it is
17:13But I don't want him involved anymore
17:19She's quite childish, isn't she?
17:21Well, there are many manga artists who are very particular and lack a certain amount of social grace
17:26Of course, Abiko is an extreme example of this
17:29Are you okay? She's having her way of things
17:32She'll have you dropped from the project
17:35Well, what can I do?
17:37The position of a screenwriter is far lower than anyone even realizes
17:42We can easily be replaced if one of the higher-ups calls for it
17:47This kind of thing, it happens all the time
17:50You can try your best to create something good
17:52But if it differs even slightly from the original creator's taste, they'll detest you for it
17:57If it turns out boring, fans will publicly shame you like a criminal
18:01But if it's entertaining, the original work gets credit
18:04The producer's preferences get injected
18:07And large agencies pressure you to increase their actors' appearances
18:11Even so, you still need to create a work that's able to stand on its own
18:15Rewriting
18:18It's a hellish creative endeavor
18:22So, that's how things stand
18:27I honestly don't mind being let go
18:30It's just...
18:31Could you do me the favor of removing my name from the credits, please?
18:35The idea of presenting a script someone else rewrote as though it's my own?
18:41I have to have a sense of pride after all
18:43While we've already announced the staff to the general public
18:48Plus, there's the cost of reprinting the posters and pamphlets
18:51I have to say
18:54I don't think the direction you took with the script was wrong at all
18:57In fact, I strongly believe that this is another job well done
19:01Could you find it in yourself to consider this a mishap
19:05And accept this unfortunate situation?
19:11Of course I can
19:12My credit can stand
19:16Treat me to dinner sometime though
19:19My deepest apologies!
19:21Please eat all you want of whatever you want!
19:27I've been reading the original manga since the first chapter came out
19:32I adjusted the schedules of my other jobs to take this one on
19:36I poured my soul into writing this script
19:39So that it would be a good play
19:41No matter how late at night revision requests came in
19:44I worked on them right away
19:46I handled absurd demands
19:48Racking my brain to the point of becoming ill
19:50I hardly allowed myself sleep
19:53Pushing myself right up to my deadline
19:55I tried to do my best
19:58I did my best
19:59And yet
20:00This guy's creative ability is absolutely-
20:01This guy's creative ability is absolutely-
20:03Damn it all
20:05Damn it all
20:10Everyone
20:19Everyone
20:20We're back at square one with the script
20:22When negotiations with the author are finalized
20:25They'll contact us as soon as the new script is ready
20:28Until then rehearsals will be on hold
20:30Wow this has turned into such a big mess
20:33So excited for this
20:34Well unfortunately we can't just go ahead without the author's approval of the script
20:38Hmm
20:39Suspending rehearsals is hard to take in
20:41This is an intricate stage around play
20:43I would have liked a longer rehearsal schedule
20:46What are you talking about?
20:48What's a stage around play?
20:49Huh?
20:50You've been rehearsing without knowing that?
20:52Can you even envision what the play will look like?
20:55Theater stages are all pretty much the same aren't they?
20:59What did I say?
21:00Geez Aqua
21:01You don't like theater much do you?
21:03I'm glad you noticed
21:04You've made it obvious enough
21:06It's not that I don't like it
21:08I just don't care to watch it
21:10Why's that?
21:11The pacing's slow because they switch sets whenever the scene changes
21:15And the moveable sets look cheap
21:17And I'm not really into the exaggerated acting that's synonymous with theater
21:21I'd rather spend the same amount of time watching video content with effective directing
21:25I more or less figured you'd say something like that
21:27Well you're the one who asked me
21:29It's a fair assessment
21:31That's one of the long discussed challenges for theater for sure
21:34Customers are drifting away
21:36And some have said that theater culture is in final decline
21:40But that way of thinking is a little bit outdated
21:43And as an actor that perception won't do it all
21:47So I guess you've never seen a stage around play
21:50Huh?
21:51What's your point?
21:55We finally have some free time
21:57So how about a date?
21:59Come on
22:01Theater is way more immersive than any video you could ever see
22:05I'll show you
22:07Please
22:09You've lost my life
22:17Let's hope
22:18You just remember
22:20So, come on
22:24You gave me
22:25Disciples
22:26You know
22:27You know
22:28You were
22:29That?!
22:30You ressort
22:31Thank you so much for watching.
23:01Thank you so much for watching.
23:31Could you try, but I don't like it on you?
