Phoenix Wright takarazuka explains plot points through interpretive dance


2:00 PM on 02.16.2009



What have you created, Japan? We've talked about the Phoenix Wright takarazuka production before, and so now I present to you some footage from the production. And boy, is it something special.

The production looks pretty good, I must admit. The characters look fantastic -- especially Edgeworth -- and they seem to have the humor down. What disturbs me, though, is that at random points in the case, usually when clues are discovered or Phoenix makes a major objection, the whole stage breaks out into sudden singing and dancing. I'm sure this is fairly common for takarazuka, but it's still weird to see.

While we're only seeing about six minutes of footage from what I would guess to be a two hour play, I was a little disappointed with the music. The soundtrack to Phoenix Wright was one of my favorites in recent memory, and to see Phoenix shout "objection!" with a dramatic pause following it, there should be some sort of musical cue. But, that's just my personal preference.

So, who's ready to grab some tickets to Japan and go see this with me?

It's like a Japanese "batdance"
Guess you guys didn't grow up with musical theater much, huh? I think y'all need to watch some Rodgers and Hammerstein.

My one comment about the music is that it sounds like all the music written for Takarazuka, pretty much.

But having actually seen a Takarazuka show and knowing nothing whatsoever about the game, I'd still be up for seeing this. :-)

Cheers,

All I can think is that being attracted to Phoenix confuses me wildly.
I can't tell which I find more amusing.....this or the Utena musical. I do like Edgeworth in this though and I'm equally confused on being attracted to him/her.
I'm all up for seeing this, but I know what you mean with the music. Honestly though, the music hasn't been as good as the first game.
Interpretive dance is a family of dance styles that seeks to interpret the meaning inherent in music rather than by performing specific preformatted moves. Normally accustomed to the stylistic interpretation of beats and/or sounds created from stylistic and other mainstream and non-mainstream musical media.
Likened to the higher form of arts, interpretive dance can be seen in many Broadway musicals as well as in other forms of mainstream and non-mainstream media. While it was—and most often, still is—thought of as a performing art, interpretive dance does not have to be performed with music.

First Impressions: Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus

The original Senran Kagura was not a very good game. A repetitive, paper thin experience, not even the immense amounts of fanservice could save it from mediocrity. I'll be the first one to admit that the prospect of a super f...
