Team Batista 2 - General Rouge no Gaisen [Episode 6]

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

Title: Team Batista 2: General Rouge no Gaisen / ジェネラル・ルージュの凱旋
Year: 2010
Channel: Fuji TV

Amuse Cast: Sakurada Dori as Yamazaki Kento (guest star in episode 6)

I think Dori's acting was improved significantly. Seriously speaking.
Being casted as a Kamen Rider is surely improving his acting skill.

Yamazaki Kento (Sakurada Dori) is a 16-years-old boy in a wheelchair, living only with his mother (Yamazaki Noriko played by Oji Megumi).
His mother fell from stairway in their home and Kento rushed to contact a certain doctor he called Hayami Sensei (Nishijima Hidetoshi).

He and his mother brought to the hospital under suspicious eyes of some young doctors, thinking that his mother was Hayami Sensei's mistress, and Kento was his illegitimate son.

Finally met Hayami Koichi Sensei, it was revealed that Hayami Sensei saved Kento's life when Kento was trapped under collapsing materials at the construction site about 5 years ago. Kento survived, thanks to Hayami, but he bounded to be in wheelchair eversince.

Kento tried to make Hayami remember, but Hayami said he forgot all the patients he had saved and dismissed him cold-heartedly.

Being roughly rejected, Kento snapped and tried to stab Hayami with a scissors but failed miserably because Taguchi Kouhei (Atsushi Ito) and other med staff grabbed him and threw away the scissors.

Kento blamed Hayami for saving him and letting him alive. And it's all Hayami's fault that he was in wheelchair and the stress of taking care of him made his mother collapsed.


Kento angrily shouted at Hayami for not letting him to die on the operation table. Upon hearing Kento's hysterical rantings, a female doctor Izumi Haruka (Katou Ai) slapped Kento's face and said doctors sacrified their private lives to save people, so she would not forgive people whose life had been saved say something like that.

A brief moment later Kento was having a seizure, his entire body convulsed. Again Hayami saved him and it turned out that Hayami indeed remembered the boy and his mother.
Hayami coincidentally mentioned about if Kento had a proper treatment at the other hospital he was transfered after being treated in this hospital, Kento would probably be out there playing basketball. Kouhei realized Hayami was lying when he said he didn't remember Kento, and questioned Hayami why he behaved like that but he refused to give Kouhei a satisfying answer.

Hayami silently observed Kento from afar and found out Kento was having trouble writing, talking, and remembering things. The next day when Kento arrived at the hospital to visit his mother, Hayami took him to a room and gave him a drawing test. Kento couldn't draw anything.

Hayami realized Kento was suffering something called 'pressure hydrocephalus' which making his cerebral ventricles in his brain expanded and thus resulting a memory defect and a walking disorder. It was undetected because Kento had hemiphlegia (paralysis) since his accident five years ago.
The doctors asked Kento to have a test to check it, but Kento declined. Kento said he hated people who gave him high hopes to recover but they let him down eventually. He fed up with the word "hopes" and "possibilities".

Kouhei tried to reason with Kento, saying that Hayami Sensei did remember him and Hayami was the one who found out about Kento's desease, that Hayami was thinking all night about the best way to treat Kento. Kouhei also said that instead of thinking his mother pushed herself too hard because of him, try to think that because he existed his mother could push herself. The fact Kento was alive, gave his mother hope.

While still in doubt, Kento's mom was finally woken up. Kento heard his mom said to the med staff, "My son is my pride." *seriously i'm bursted to tears here. I luv you mom!*
Kento finally agreed to take the test. A few days later, Kento's condition was getting better. Too bad Kento was still in wheelchair though, but he no longer had memory defect.

I really wanted to see the ending which that Kento can walk normally again but that would be a lot to ask and the ending would be too perfect, wouldn't it? ^^;;;

Anyway Dori, that SMILE. Oyh. I'm melting here.
*major flails*

FROGS

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Other

AMUSE casts: Sakurada Dori as Kakeru, Yanagisawa Takahiko as Teru, Aoyagi Ruito as Amane, Uehara Takuya as Fukurou, Hirama Soichi (as Hiroshi) and - later on - Kazama Yuujiro (as Pyonkichi?) were casted as Amane's backup minions.


Full synopsis credit to Frog Dance Story

The only thing Kakeru wished for the most was to dance to his heart’s content. Who knew he would get his wish fast — for a price.

FROGS, unlike some of the more popular musicals taking Japanese entertainment by storm, is an original concept of scriptwriter Kiyasu Kouhei and director Kishitani Goro. With a cast made up of young promising actors of AMUSE Inc., dance sequences which are more of hiphop than the usual stage jazz, and a light-hearted yet touching script, FROGS has spun a child’s fairy tale into a colorful, inspiring masterpiece laced with humor and incredible dance moves.

The main stars of FROGS are not new to stage productions. Sakurada Dori, acting as the central character, has previously acted as Echizen Ryoma in the excessively successful Musical Prince of Tennis.
His two co-actors, Aoyagi Ruito and Yanagisawa Takahiko, also acted in the same musical a year earlier than him. Uehara Takuya, though not very visible in stage productions, is a popular talent of AMUSE. All of them have high-leveled dancing skills and satisfactory singing and acting skills.

FROGS is first shown in BIG TREE THEATER last March 2007. It is then remade for another run on September 2007. It is one of the few stage productions that is given a chance to be shown on television and its DVD and other merchandise are always in demand.


The musical’s story revolves around Kakeru (Sakurada Dori) who is turned to a green frog after being depressed about losing a dance competition. His friend Teru (Yanagisawa Takahiko) is also turned to a yellow frog and both of them are inevitably trapped in a world where dancing is the life and rain is the best thing ever.


In their frantic search for the escape route back to the human world, Kakeru and Teru meets formidable allies in the forms of Amane (Aoyagi Ruito), a pink carefree frog, and his minions. Amane challenges Kakeru to dance showdowns and at the same time encourages him to stop wishing to go back to the human world. Kakeru, who is distraught with his disappointments in his own world, considers staying for life in the world of frogs.

But just as Kakeru is rediscovering his love for dancing with the help of Amane’s challenges, he and Teru are confronted by Fukurou (Uehara Takuya) and his minions. They are ordered to capture the two invaders and put them to death.

A fun-loving blue frog at heart, Fukurou disobeys their superior’s orders and with Amane helps Kakeru and Teru to escape.


There is only one way to go back to the human world after all: talking to the great God of Frogs and asking his aid.

What follows is a myriad of colors, lights, dancing and stunts that are not collectively seen in your normal musical. Puns and ad libs decorate the dialogues at the right moments. A dash of drama involving Kakeru and his love for dancing gave the story a more realistic approach.

Each important scene is punctuated by a dance sequence. Even though there are only a few songs sung throughout the play the dance sequences provided enough interpretation of what is happening in each part, emphasizing the emotions of each of the main characters.


The stage is small, enough for eight people to dance on, yet the world interpreted in the production (from the temple where Kakeru and Teru met to the forest of the Frog God to the shrine with a frog that acts like a fax machine) was vast. The lighting was unabashedly colored and darkened at times, outlining the shadows that gave emphasis on the various settings in the play. There is also not much props, but their dance steps were enough to make the audience understand what is happening in each scene.

As their journey to meet the Frog God and plead for his help, Kakeru undergoes a dilemma of wanting to return and not wanting to. This creates further conflicts not only among the four, but within Kakeru himself.

The essentially real human emotions of wanting to run away from life’s disappointments is one of the most touching parts of the production.

Kakeru represents a person who is afraid to go through the path he has chosen because of a problem he encounters. His friends, whether they encourage him to look at the same path again or pull him to a world where he could care less but without the life he has frown used to, helps him reach a conclusion where he and everyone else will achieve satisfaction.

The musical is not played only for entertainment. It imparts messages on facing life, making friends, and following dreams.
FROGS, especially its end, might be a bit cheesy and childish for the older viewers, but it cannot be denied that it is one production that can be watched over and over again and can still portray lessons that touch the ones heart, stunts that tickle the senses and tongue twisters that will never be spoken the correct way no matter who tries.

Imagine being in Kakeru’s shoes and landing in a world where you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life with new friends, only to be deprived of the things you had and people you had met before. Which world will you choose to be in?
