SHIGE ILUSM <333

so, here is my everyday report =D
Sunday
in the morning I went to osaka international church... well I was actually late... embarrassing >o<
the service was nice~ I really liked that the pastor was speaking English and Japanese... I suppose he speaks Japanese quite well (maybe fluently?) ^^
we went to eat lunch with some people from church ^^ and they told us about some festival called "osaka king" near/in osakajou castle... so first Alicia and me looked at bookoff shop there lol and then we went there. but...we didn't find the others form church. we tried to enjoy it there (so hot x.x XD) and we were hunting the hana yori dango bag...but it was already all away T.T (everyone was walking around with it~~~)
then I went to the theatre... it was quite late ^^; I wanted to go there earlier ._. didn't have dinner XD anyway, I went there, bought the goods and sat down. row 10. yay! I'll write a complete report at the end ;3
it was soooo cool to see Shige again <333 I really like that blond hair XD
and he was kakkoi with the sunglasses and such LOL just hmm the toilet scene was too funny XDDDDDD ah other scenes too XDDD and the kizuna scene was really touching ;-; I was surprised that I understood a lot... but still, so many things that I didn't get ^^;; (study more~~!!)
after the play...I went around the building to find a place to wait. there was some staff iriguchi-thing so...I decided to wait there... I asked the Japanese girls if they're waiting too. I talked with them, and another woman (+ child) who came too =3 some other fans joined us, too... maybe after half an hour some guys went out and said that Shige already went...more to themselves... but we didn't trust them XD;; so...we waited loooonger... and then we gave up (after maybe 1,5h) I went to the station together with the 2 girls ^~^
at home I ate some bento I bought before... and Kyoko came later than me, she went to Nara and later drinking with a friend ^^;;
Monday
in the morning I met with Alicia again (I'm glad that she's staying in Osaka hehe I got to know here in Tokyo in church! ^^ because...Kyoko had to work everyday...she couldn't spent time with me ^^°)
we went to the beach!!!!!! <333333333333 but it took us almost 3h to arrive there... Wakayama prefecture ^^;
very nice to be in the water =3 we didn't want to get out LOL
and...we were the only gaijins there...so they were staring at us...or some people talked to us randomly... haha ^^;;
but then we had to go home in the afternoon... ^-^;
at home I waited for Kyoko, we had dinner together =D and then, because I gave it to her as a present, we watched "Der Schuh des Manitu" and I did my best in translating/explaining all the time XD;; difficult~
Kyoko's apartment 
Tuesday
in the morning I went to meet Alicia (again XD) and we went to a voluntary/free Japanese lesson thing... we talked with "her" teacher all them time rather than...learn grammar or whatever... hehe but practicing to speak is important too! she invited us for the next day to eat okonomiyaki with her friend...so nice!! <3333
after that Alicia went home to get some things and I went to Umeda/Osaka Station area. we met there again... and went to have lunch at a really noble restaurant *_* it reminded me of Osen...somehow... XD (the waitresses were walking aroudn in yukata/kimono)
after that we took purikura <3 (it was the first time for Alicia!! can't believe!! she's in Japan since January!!)
and then we met with Lucie and Anais ^0^
we all went to buy Hana Yori Dango Final tickets at the cinema <3333 (for Wednesday: ladies day ^-^)
and then Alicia had to leave (work)... so I was with Lucie and Anais. we took purikura too <33
and went to the theatre ^^ they didn't have tickets for this show, so we decided to meet after the show. but...it was raining... they didn't want to wait (no one waited o.o) they went 'early' but I stayed a little more ^-^;;; it was raining so much anyway, so my shoes were too slippery, so waiting...was better ^-^;;
Wednesday

after that we took purikura :3
and then Alicia and me met up with the two Japanese ladies ^^
we had okonomiyaki... SO YUMMY!! XD
after that we were invited to tea with them too... so nice *.*
then we went to the theatre (it was raining ._.)
I had a spare ticket because Jasmine couldn't come to Osaka anymore...so I needed to sell it somehow... first it didn't look very good... but then we found a Taiwanese girl!!! actually she only came to see Shige (in Japan) (just like me!!!! XD) but she didn't have a ticket °_° so yeah... we were both very happy~ and...I finally got the Shige-clear file ;3
I was talking to her in English but her English wasn't that good... better than some Japanese though XP
after the show Lucie, Anais + me waited again. there were two Japanese girls too ^^ (they were dancing some Kanjani8 dances XD) I was talking with them a little ^^ especially after Lucie and Anais left ^^;; hmm but I showed the girls the other exit, with the taxis... and also that there's a hotel in the building too (but it looks quite expensive!!) hmm... they think Shige stayed in there...
anyway, we went home then ^^;
Thursday
in the morning I met Lucie and Anais and we went to the Johnnys shop. today was THE shopping day for me. I had a long list with requests and presents and...I didn't have much time before XD
after Johnnys shop (it was very crowded...but not with tickets ^^) we went to karaoke <33 and then they went to the theatre. I went around Shinsaibashi/Namba for...shopping... ^-^;; I don't know that area...so it was very difficult @.@
then I went home, packed my things (and used internet) and hmm...I went to the theatre. I wanted to meet Lucie + Anais for waiting... but then they didn't come. oh, I gave my letter to a lady from the theatre. she said she'll hand it to Shige. let's hope so.
then...I waited again...hahahaha though at the taxi exit.
there came out a car... it seemed there was a blond person inside (but other people too)...some girls followed it a little and then went. dunno?? ^-^;;
but 4 other girls kept waiting...so I did the same. in the end we were talking. there were two little girls from Kyoto (well...little...like 15-16 but little as so cute XDD) and 2 girls around 21 (wearing beautiful yukata!! ^^) and... yeah we had fun waiting~ Shige detekite!! LOL
then we took a picture...and everyone went their own way.
I met Lucie and Anais, we wanted to take purikura a last time ^^;;
we didn't finish the others in time u__u 
and then I went home... and at the station I met the two girls again...but suddenly just one was wearing a yukata XD the other one had changed... anyway, the yukata wearing girl took the same train with me. she actually had to transfer at Namba but she stayed longer (and transferred later) in order to talk with me...haha so nice <3 those two girls spoke some English with me... I gave them my mail address...I hope they'll write to me ;-;
then...going home. Kyoko was very tired from work. she had to go to Tokyo and she came back in the late evening... v.v
Friday
I had to get up around 4.30am XD
get ready, take train to the airport...
well nothing more...
baibai japan~
Konnan yatta mimashita report
(I wrote those notes at the show on the 5th. I didn't read any others reports... so everything I don't understand... I'm sorry that I can't really explain...)
maybe it is good to look at the scans with pictures of the show: http://beccy-chan.livejournal.com/86752.html#cutid1 =3
maybe 15 minute before the start of the show Shige is saying some things... through micro. also just 2-3 minutes before. and sometimes he makes mistakes at reading XD
then there is a video introducing the show. it's more or less the pictures from the pamphlet. and then he's standing there with some kind of pants, with a very big brush (as big as him) and black ink. he's coloring everything (white) around him. it's kinda like a small white room. he himself gets black/dirty too.
then Shige is coming on stage. he picked up an handkerchief and asked if we had lost/found something too. he also picked up a glove, a cover of an umbrella and then a wallet. he says that it's the best to bring the found things (that someone dropped) to the police office.
he goes to the police office. the policeman wants him to fill out a card with address and whatever things but he doesn't want. he's saying iya iya iya. so...the policeman says iya iya iya too. as Shige is playing both he turns around all the time with saying iya iya iya in two different voices all the time. funny to look at. in the end the boy says okay, he'll write it/gives up.
then Shige suggests to say something like "no, i don't need to fill it out. please just say to that person if he picks up something important, that another lost, please bring it to the postoffice too."
then Shige says "konnan yatte mimashita" and a movie starts.
Shige is walking on the sidewalk and notices that he lost his wallet nai nai nai!! he's desperate about it. he tries to remember what he did before. he was in a cafe and drinking some coffee which was...too hot or whatever... he choked. anyway, he is sure that he still had it with him. then he was at a bookstore, looking at a magazine. but the shop owner was cleaning, he used the mop-thing (for dust) to kinda hit Shige... so he made a grimace and went away. he still had the wallet. then he want to a park and had a loooot of fun with swinging. but the wallet in his pocket was too annoying so he got rid off it and throw it on his bag... so now he knows where he lost the wallet!!! he runs back to the park and searches everywhere but he can't find the wallet. but he finds a police office near the park. he is going there and asks the policeman for a wallet. the policeman askes what it looked like (but he didn't speak and you couldn't see the man's face. his sentences were just written on the screen). Shige describes it and then the policeman shows him the brown wallet. "yeah that's the one" and when Shige gets the wallet back he kisses it and is soooo happy. then he's normal again and thanks the man. and he wants to thank the person who brought the wallet to the police office. he gets a yellow paper but there's only written something like "when you pick up something important that someone lost, bring it to the police office. please." so, Shige thanks the policeman again and then he leaves.
Shige comes on stage and says something like "kakkoi deshou? ah not me, the person who gave it to the policeman"... he walks around and sees something lying on the floor... picks it up. it's his pamphlet! he's saying something like "someone lost this!" -> stage is all black
the screen says "otoshimono" (if that's correct???) and that it's written by kato shigeaki.
then VTR. Shige is in this room with table and whatever. he uses a ballpen to knock against his forehead. then he takes the photo camera and says "konnan yatte mimashita"
Shige comes on stage, sits down on a bench, with a book in his hand. he's reading from the book, there are some pictures (black-white) on the screen (to the story).
(actually that was difficult to understand)
it's something about a shop in a street... and... dunno ^^;
anyway, the ojisan had to go to the hospital and the little boy helped him in finding the way. the ojisan was lost/couldn't find the way... the boy held the hand of the ojisan until they arrived. then the ojisan thanked the boy. the boy was very happy because it was the first time that he could help someone.
some days later the boys sees the ojisan with obaasan in the shop. so obaasan went to pick up the ojisan.
then there's something about a flower and the meaning of it is 'thank you'.
"teikyubi" by kato shigeaki.
next VTR. (it's always like an intro) there's Shige with a traditional fan... walking around... saying "kon~~~~nan~~~~~ yatte~~~~~~ mima~~~shita~~~~" or so. there's this typical traditional Japanese (?) music in background. then he's saying "shita. shita. shita. shita." all the time and is doing something like a knee bend. using the fan at the end of his hand, the arm outstretched. he's still walking around when a staff member comes with food and he's like "ah yes, i forgot!" he starts eating ramen with chopsticks. then he takes the fan and means to use it to eat and says "konnan yatta mimashita"
Shige comes on stage, but this time he is sitting on some bank, wearing a kimono. next to hime is a sign saying "gumon".
it looks like a conservation between a boy and his father. the father is asking what the boy wants to do in the future...
when Shige is speaking the father, he look to the right side. the boy looks to the right side.
the father shows some examples... then son has to guess what he's doing.
Shige pretends to be horse riding, saying "hijopp! hijopp!" and using the fan (the same kind as in the VTR) as a horsewhip. he's talking with the son in-between, he's showing it three times.
the next example: Shige's rubbing his eyes, kinda like crying. he has the hand in front of his face, also he starts making noises as if he's crying.
the boy guesses, maybe there's a rice grain in his nose... he's showing what to do (blowing it out) and then he should say "ah! it's even two rice grains!"
the father doesn't think that it's funny and continues showing the example.
the son...maybe gets what the father is doing.
the third example: the son ask his father to finally do the third one. so the father takes the fan again. he uses it as if he's eating ramen, but exaggerating it very much, the son is staring at him with open mouth.
(I didn't get a lot of these things again... ._.)
at the end the screens says "gumon" by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige with sunglasses and a bunch of roses. "konnan yatte mimashita" -> shortfilm
Shige is lying in his bed, he's wearing some black boots (those one's he's wearing on the picture where he's wearing the kimono and with sword and all... i think.)
he gets up.... zooming from down to top...he's just wearing black short pants. he is doing some stretching, switches on the radio (music by a female singer, dunno the song), starts to dance a little to the song and then he searches for clothes in his wardrobe. he takes a jeans but he has problems with putting it on. he needs to put off his boots first. (sitting on the floor)
he goes to the fridge, takes a bite of a bread, then tomato, puts both back into it. he lays one of the red rose next to the tomato, closes the fridge and eats an apple. he starts choking so he opens the fridge again and takes the milk. he drinks a little, looks inside (maybe it tasted strange) but then drinks more. when he puts the milk on a table it gets zoomed to the date mark, but I couldn't read. maybe it's already expired.
he looks for his necklace/rings, he throws a dart and sit down on the sofa. he puts on the jewellery things (silver) and takes his cellphone, calling someone. but he's not talking. he closes the cellphone and takes his shirt to put it on. but he can't. he then opens the buttons and then he can.
he takes the bunch of red roses (nice color <3) out of the fridge. he says something like "i love you! marry me!" (practice). he just wants to go when he remembers that he's missing something. sunglasses! he tries one, two, the second one is okay... he looks at the mirror, styling his hair a little. perfect! he takes the roses, he takes a candy and leaves. (music ends)
he walks downstairs, opens a big door of a storage building. outside is a black scooter/motorbike. he puts on the helmet, takes the roses in one hand and takes off...
"shortfilm" by kato shigeaki.
"konnan yatte mitakatta" (i wish i had done this)
Shige runs on stage (outfit from the movie), saying that the milk was bad/expired and he needs to go to the toilet. "yabai" "ganbare, ore" he runs to the toilet. then he comes on stage, it's a toilet with wall of glasses. he just closed his pants, takes the roses and wants to go... BUT he can't open the door! he tries and tries...no luck! "dareka inaino?!" "sumimasen, dareka imasenka?" he asks if someone's there, but noone is around. He tries to call someone/the police but there’s no reception.
He kinda kneels down so that he can see the message above the toilet paper “okumori no kata koko ni meru okutte kudasai. toilet@toilet.ne.jp” (or…so…) (people who are in trouble, please mail to toilet@toilet.ne.jp) he starts writing mails… maybe altogether up to 10. (I tried to make strokes on my paper…but everything is hard to read because everything was dark ne u.u) he gets the same reply all the time. Something about finding something in himself. One of his mails was about having stomach ache because of the milk, so he had to go to the toilet. once there was something about train… something about money… I just wrote some notes… can’t really tell… but he is talking to himself (with kinda acting, too) all the time.
He is frustrated and he’s feeling hot so he starts to pull off toilet paper, wishing over his forehead and cleaning the sport that he made on the wall in front of him. Then he’s kneeling with the legs far apart…so that he says it’s embarrassing (although there’s no one there ne!) and he sits down on the toilet, legs together (more like woman sit).
He starts talking about his mother who calls the pet (called Nana (-chan)) Shige-chan lately. He writes a mail about it and explains more, repeating her mother’s sentence “Shige-chan comes home late recently, ne Shige-chan?”. With Shige complaining “Whom is she talking to?! Me, or the dog?!” and then he goes on his knees, starts barking. The stage gets dark.
When the lights are on again, he’s sitting on the toilet, exhausted and tired. The sky in the background is dark, the stars are shining. He’s already in there veeery long… he tries to open the door again, still no luck. Then he write another mail (dunno what) and…the reply is “(^0^)/”!!!!!!!! he stretches his right arm out…like the picture/reply says… he tries to open the door… and it’s opening!!!!!! He takes the bunch of roses and runs out, he has to hurry!
Then, movie again: Shige walks into an elevator (which looks like an elevator of a storage house, again). He puts the buttons and goes up…but the elevator suddenly stops!! He looks near the buttons… and there is the message to write a mail to elevator@elevator.ne.jp... “not again!!” he sits down frustrated. End.
“nantoka-toire” by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige is looking at some photos, there’s melancholy music in the background. “konnan yatte mimashita”
There are lights projected on the right and left side of the theatre, coming from the stage. A chair alone on the stage. Shige comes on stage, sitting down on the chair, starting to tell the story about a boy… (again there’s a lot I didn’t get)
The boy doesn’t like that the family has to move again, because it’s difficult for him to make new friends. (he’s in elementary school) Then (they moved, I guess) there’s a small ijime going on in the class… one morning he tells his mother that he doesn’t want to go to school “kyou ha gakkou ni ikitakunai” his mother is okay with that (I think the boy is surprised that she allows him to stay home). The mother has to go to gym/work, but the father stays at home. Father and son are watching tv, then the father is cooking the lunch for them. In the afternoon they’re going out to rent a video (love story, 3h) and watch it at home. The boy thinks it’s kinda strange (to watch this).
In the evening the mother comes home and talks with the on. She asks how the day was ”dou datta?” and whether he doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow again. ”tanoshikatta” “ashita ha gakkou ni ikuyo” though the boy had fun, he doesn’t want that the father can’t go to work.
Next morning there’s something about the three of them leaving the house (together)…
The boy is really happy to have these parents.
”arigatou… okan… oyaji…”
(when I was sitting in the 10th row… it looked like Shige had tears in his eyes! Also they’re zooming on his face and show it on the screen near the end… the atmosphere, (light, quietness) is really touching here!! Although I didn’t understand everything! Just WOW!)
“kizuna” by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige is drawing a picture on a sketchbook, showing it: it’s a orange flower. “konnan yatte mimashita”
Shige is coming on the stage, in the centre, with a large book, reading from it. On the screen there’s a movie (it’s made to look like “old” movie). He’s walking through the streets, searching for orange flower (I guess), seeing a lot of other flowers (and whatever).
At the end there are petals (flowers) falling down on/beside Shige (on stage). (it looks like falling sakura… very nice <3) also the lights on both sides of the theatre are used again.
“orenji no hanabira” by kato shigeaki.
There’s a movie (like continuation of the one before): Shige is writing something on the sketchbook, then he holds it to the camera. There are the orange flowers… and written is “FIN”.
So now Shige comes on stage again, tells some things about the show… different all the time.
But he always asks which scene we liked the best. It’s the toilet-scene every time XDD one time he said “it’s not called toire but nantoka-toire!!” (sorry dunno the kanji) “why don’t you read it!!” (as it’s on the screen after the scene)
He also talks about the title… that he didn’t include his name (like Massu and Tegoshi did) but he was thinking of “negashige” (?? Maybe I got it wrong) or “I love shige” (LOL)
He also said that Kei-chan helped him ne <3
One evening there were 2-3 girls who screamed “Shige daisuki!” but Shige just said “I know” and continued what he was saying… XDDDDD
That’s it, I think. I tried my best to write detailed enough. Hope you get a little impression at last…
Also right when I was finishing writing the last 3 scenes… everything got deleted and I had to write it again hjsdfhsgvcsbdhv hate my computer X_X I felt as frustrated as Shige in the toilet... XDDD
gonna write more...sometime...later XD
so, here is my everyday report =D

Konnan yatta mimashita report
(I wrote those notes at the show on the 5th. I didn't read any others reports... so everything I don't understand... I'm sorry that I can't really explain...)
maybe it is good to look at the scans with pictures of the show: http://beccy-chan.livejournal.com/86752.html#cutid1 =3

then Shige is coming on stage. he picked up an handkerchief and asked if we had lost/found something too. he also picked up a glove, a cover of an umbrella and then a wallet. he says that it's the best to bring the found things (that someone dropped) to the police office.
he goes to the police office. the policeman wants him to fill out a card with address and whatever things but he doesn't want. he's saying iya iya iya. so...the policeman says iya iya iya too. as Shige is playing both he turns around all the time with saying iya iya iya in two different voices all the time. funny to look at. in the end the boy says okay, he'll write it/gives up.
then Shige suggests to say something like "no, i don't need to fill it out. please just say to that person if he picks up something important, that another lost, please bring it to the postoffice too."
then Shige says "konnan yatte mimashita" and a movie starts.
Shige is walking on the sidewalk and notices that he lost his wallet nai nai nai!! he's desperate about it. he tries to remember what he did before. he was in a cafe and drinking some coffee which was...too hot or whatever... he choked. anyway, he is sure that he still had it with him. then he was at a bookstore, looking at a magazine. but the shop owner was cleaning, he used the mop-thing (for dust) to kinda hit Shige... so he made a grimace and went away. he still had the wallet. then he want to a park and had a loooot of fun with swinging. but the wallet in his pocket was too annoying so he got rid off it and throw it on his bag... so now he knows where he lost the wallet!!! he runs back to the park and searches everywhere but he can't find the wallet. but he finds a police office near the park. he is going there and asks the policeman for a wallet. the policeman askes what it looked like (but he didn't speak and you couldn't see the man's face. his sentences were just written on the screen). Shige describes it and then the policeman shows him the brown wallet. "yeah that's the one" and when Shige gets the wallet back he kisses it and is soooo happy. then he's normal again and thanks the man. and he wants to thank the person who brought the wallet to the police office. he gets a yellow paper but there's only written something like "when you pick up something important that someone lost, bring it to the police office. please." so, Shige thanks the policeman again and then he leaves.
Shige comes on stage and says something like "kakkoi deshou? ah not me, the person who gave it to the policeman"... he walks around and sees something lying on the floor... picks it up. it's his pamphlet! he's saying something like "someone lost this!" -> stage is all black
the screen says "otoshimono" (if that's correct???) and that it's written by kato shigeaki.
then VTR. Shige is in this room with table and whatever. he uses a ballpen to knock against his forehead. then he takes the photo camera and says "konnan yatte mimashita"
Shige comes on stage, sits down on a bench, with a book in his hand. he's reading from the book, there are some pictures (black-white) on the screen (to the story).
(actually that was difficult to understand)
it's something about a shop in a street... and... dunno ^^;
anyway, the ojisan had to go to the hospital and the little boy helped him in finding the way. the ojisan was lost/couldn't find the way... the boy held the hand of the ojisan until they arrived. then the ojisan thanked the boy. the boy was very happy because it was the first time that he could help someone.
some days later the boys sees the ojisan with obaasan in the shop. so obaasan went to pick up the ojisan.
then there's something about a flower and the meaning of it is 'thank you'.
"teikyubi" by kato shigeaki.
next VTR. (it's always like an intro) there's Shige with a traditional fan... walking around... saying "kon~~~~nan~~~~~ yatte~~~~~~ mima~~~shita~~~~" or so. there's this typical traditional Japanese (?) music in background. then he's saying "shita. shita. shita. shita." all the time and is doing something like a knee bend. using the fan at the end of his hand, the arm outstretched. he's still walking around when a staff member comes with food and he's like "ah yes, i forgot!" he starts eating ramen with chopsticks. then he takes the fan and means to use it to eat and says "konnan yatta mimashita"
Shige comes on stage, but this time he is sitting on some bank, wearing a kimono. next to hime is a sign saying "gumon".
it looks like a conservation between a boy and his father. the father is asking what the boy wants to do in the future...
when Shige is speaking the father, he look to the right side. the boy looks to the right side.
the father shows some examples... then son has to guess what he's doing.
Shige pretends to be horse riding, saying "hijopp! hijopp!" and using the fan (the same kind as in the VTR) as a horsewhip. he's talking with the son in-between, he's showing it three times.
the next example: Shige's rubbing his eyes, kinda like crying. he has the hand in front of his face, also he starts making noises as if he's crying.
the boy guesses, maybe there's a rice grain in his nose... he's showing what to do (blowing it out) and then he should say "ah! it's even two rice grains!"
the father doesn't think that it's funny and continues showing the example.
the son...maybe gets what the father is doing.
the third example: the son ask his father to finally do the third one. so the father takes the fan again. he uses it as if he's eating ramen, but exaggerating it very much, the son is staring at him with open mouth.
(I didn't get a lot of these things again... ._.)
at the end the screens says "gumon" by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige with sunglasses and a bunch of roses. "konnan yatte mimashita" -> shortfilm
Shige is lying in his bed, he's wearing some black boots (those one's he's wearing on the picture where he's wearing the kimono and with sword and all... i think.)
he gets up.... zooming from down to top...he's just wearing black short pants. he is doing some stretching, switches on the radio (music by a female singer, dunno the song), starts to dance a little to the song and then he searches for clothes in his wardrobe. he takes a jeans but he has problems with putting it on. he needs to put off his boots first. (sitting on the floor)
he goes to the fridge, takes a bite of a bread, then tomato, puts both back into it. he lays one of the red rose next to the tomato, closes the fridge and eats an apple. he starts choking so he opens the fridge again and takes the milk. he drinks a little, looks inside (maybe it tasted strange) but then drinks more. when he puts the milk on a table it gets zoomed to the date mark, but I couldn't read. maybe it's already expired.
he looks for his necklace/rings, he throws a dart and sit down on the sofa. he puts on the jewellery things (silver) and takes his cellphone, calling someone. but he's not talking. he closes the cellphone and takes his shirt to put it on. but he can't. he then opens the buttons and then he can.
he takes the bunch of red roses (nice color <3) out of the fridge. he says something like "i love you! marry me!" (practice). he just wants to go when he remembers that he's missing something. sunglasses! he tries one, two, the second one is okay... he looks at the mirror, styling his hair a little. perfect! he takes the roses, he takes a candy and leaves. (music ends)
he walks downstairs, opens a big door of a storage building. outside is a black scooter/motorbike. he puts on the helmet, takes the roses in one hand and takes off...
"shortfilm" by kato shigeaki.
"konnan yatte mitakatta" (i wish i had done this)
Shige runs on stage (outfit from the movie), saying that the milk was bad/expired and he needs to go to the toilet. "yabai" "ganbare, ore" he runs to the toilet. then he comes on stage, it's a toilet with wall of glasses. he just closed his pants, takes the roses and wants to go... BUT he can't open the door! he tries and tries...no luck! "dareka inaino?!" "sumimasen, dareka imasenka?" he asks if someone's there, but noone is around. He tries to call someone/the police but there’s no reception.
He kinda kneels down so that he can see the message above the toilet paper “okumori no kata koko ni meru okutte kudasai. toilet@toilet.ne.jp” (or…so…) (people who are in trouble, please mail to toilet@toilet.ne.jp) he starts writing mails… maybe altogether up to 10. (I tried to make strokes on my paper…but everything is hard to read because everything was dark ne u.u) he gets the same reply all the time. Something about finding something in himself. One of his mails was about having stomach ache because of the milk, so he had to go to the toilet. once there was something about train… something about money… I just wrote some notes… can’t really tell… but he is talking to himself (with kinda acting, too) all the time.
He is frustrated and he’s feeling hot so he starts to pull off toilet paper, wishing over his forehead and cleaning the sport that he made on the wall in front of him. Then he’s kneeling with the legs far apart…so that he says it’s embarrassing (although there’s no one there ne!) and he sits down on the toilet, legs together (more like woman sit).
He starts talking about his mother who calls the pet (called Nana (-chan)) Shige-chan lately. He writes a mail about it and explains more, repeating her mother’s sentence “Shige-chan comes home late recently, ne Shige-chan?”. With Shige complaining “Whom is she talking to?! Me, or the dog?!” and then he goes on his knees, starts barking. The stage gets dark.
When the lights are on again, he’s sitting on the toilet, exhausted and tired. The sky in the background is dark, the stars are shining. He’s already in there veeery long… he tries to open the door again, still no luck. Then he write another mail (dunno what) and…the reply is “(^0^)/”!!!!!!!! he stretches his right arm out…like the picture/reply says… he tries to open the door… and it’s opening!!!!!! He takes the bunch of roses and runs out, he has to hurry!
Then, movie again: Shige walks into an elevator (which looks like an elevator of a storage house, again). He puts the buttons and goes up…but the elevator suddenly stops!! He looks near the buttons… and there is the message to write a mail to elevator@elevator.ne.jp... “not again!!” he sits down frustrated. End.
“nantoka-toire” by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige is looking at some photos, there’s melancholy music in the background. “konnan yatte mimashita”
There are lights projected on the right and left side of the theatre, coming from the stage. A chair alone on the stage. Shige comes on stage, sitting down on the chair, starting to tell the story about a boy… (again there’s a lot I didn’t get)
The boy doesn’t like that the family has to move again, because it’s difficult for him to make new friends. (he’s in elementary school) Then (they moved, I guess) there’s a small ijime going on in the class… one morning he tells his mother that he doesn’t want to go to school “kyou ha gakkou ni ikitakunai” his mother is okay with that (I think the boy is surprised that she allows him to stay home). The mother has to go to gym/work, but the father stays at home. Father and son are watching tv, then the father is cooking the lunch for them. In the afternoon they’re going out to rent a video (love story, 3h) and watch it at home. The boy thinks it’s kinda strange (to watch this).
In the evening the mother comes home and talks with the on. She asks how the day was ”dou datta?” and whether he doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow again. ”tanoshikatta” “ashita ha gakkou ni ikuyo” though the boy had fun, he doesn’t want that the father can’t go to work.
Next morning there’s something about the three of them leaving the house (together)…
The boy is really happy to have these parents.
”arigatou… okan… oyaji…”
(when I was sitting in the 10th row… it looked like Shige had tears in his eyes! Also they’re zooming on his face and show it on the screen near the end… the atmosphere, (light, quietness) is really touching here!! Although I didn’t understand everything! Just WOW!)
“kizuna” by kato shigeaki.
VTR: Shige is drawing a picture on a sketchbook, showing it: it’s a orange flower. “konnan yatte mimashita”
Shige is coming on the stage, in the centre, with a large book, reading from it. On the screen there’s a movie (it’s made to look like “old” movie). He’s walking through the streets, searching for orange flower (I guess), seeing a lot of other flowers (and whatever).
At the end there are petals (flowers) falling down on/beside Shige (on stage). (it looks like falling sakura… very nice <3) also the lights on both sides of the theatre are used again.
“orenji no hanabira” by kato shigeaki.
There’s a movie (like continuation of the one before): Shige is writing something on the sketchbook, then he holds it to the camera. There are the orange flowers… and written is “FIN”.
So now Shige comes on stage again, tells some things about the show… different all the time.
But he always asks which scene we liked the best. It’s the toilet-scene every time XDD one time he said “it’s not called toire but nantoka-toire!!” (sorry dunno the kanji) “why don’t you read it!!” (as it’s on the screen after the scene)
He also talks about the title… that he didn’t include his name (like Massu and Tegoshi did) but he was thinking of “negashige” (?? Maybe I got it wrong) or “I love shige” (LOL)
He also said that Kei-chan helped him ne <3
One evening there were 2-3 girls who screamed “Shige daisuki!” but Shige just said “I know” and continued what he was saying… XDDDDD
That’s it, I think. I tried my best to write detailed enough. Hope you get a little impression at last…
Also right when I was finishing writing the last 3 scenes… everything got deleted and I had to write it again hjsdfhsgvcsbdhv hate my computer X_X I felt as frustrated as Shige in the toilet... XDDD
