(SEE THE NEW BANNER HEIWA MADE *____*)
Anyways, two days ago appeared the Infinity official page (inside AKB48's official site) (and I should have told you this before but guess what... I didn't have time!). The page includes a picture of the promo poster in really good quality, and also, the so expected list of the AKB songs to be performed in the musical. Also, it has a diagram explaining the characters relation and describing their personalities, names and stories. It was pretty interesting.
So, since this blog is so amazing (and since we love SaeYaka so), we will try to keep you informed with great translations of the info we find.
Let's see the characters diagram. This one explains several things, for example, since the cast is double, the main characters personalities change depending on the actress. That's to say, the Maria that Takamina plays is different than Yuki's. Same with the Ruka Sayaka plays. It's different than Sae's.
Characters diagramThanks to HANA, SaeYaka Paradise brings to you the translated diagram! Yahoi!
Harusame Ruka (Akimoto Sayaka/Miyazawa Sae)
He's a vampire that loved and was loved by Maria long ago. However, the two of them were forcibly separated by a vampire hunter and villagers. After that, 250 years later, he continues to desire Maria, and even now still believes in the love they shared.
The role of Ruka has been double cast, and something to look for is a slight personality change in the character, depending on the performer. The Ruka portrayed by Akimoto Sayaka is an extremely understanding man. Even if Maria rejects him, he waits with open arms. On the other hand, Miyazawa Sae's Ruka is a young boy who remains childish. If Maria doesn't act as he wishes, he becomes worried.
Maids (Tanabe Miku and Nakaya Sayaka)
A pair of twin maids who are faithful to Ruka. They're calm and don't wear their hearts on their sleeves, but they're always concerned for Ruka.
Takajima Maria (Takahashi Minami/Kashiwagi Yuki)
A senior at a Catholic Girl's School. She's the captain of the dance team, and is practicing daily in anticipation of winning her first dance competition. She's an only child, and her favorite foods are strawberries and sushi.*
The role of Maria has also been double cast. Takahashi Minami's Maria is an honor student that is popular among the girls and the boys. She takes a bit of a strong stand against boys. Kashiwagi Yuki's Maria is a reliable honor student. She's popular, but she's a late-bloomer in regard to boys, and becomes a little frightened when they come near.
*Note: Literally it says revolving sushi, referring to sushi bars where individual servings of sushi are put on plates, usually color-coded according to price, and sent on a moving track where customers can serve themselves freely.
Friends
- Ai (Iwasa Misaki)
She's a 3rd year at the Catholic Girl's School, and is the sub-captain of the dance team. She involves Maria in everything, and never leaves her side.
- Isako (Yonezawa Rumi)
A 3rd year on the dance team at the Catholic Girl's School. She's Maria's best friend, and is a reliable presence when it counts most. She's a bit spunky.
- Utako (Sato Natsuki)
A 3rd year on the dance team at the Catholic Girl's School. She gives her all in her club activities, but also wants to enjoy the time after school. Due to her family's economic situation, she's attempting to raise the money necessary to participate in the dance competition by herself. She's energetic and shrewd, but she also has a dark side.
→ The shop assistant at the beach hut (Murai Akira)
A relative of Utako's. He's supporting Utako by taking a part time job at the beach hut so that she can get the money to participate in the dance competition.
- Eri (Nakatsuka Tomomi)
A 2nd year on the dance team at the Catholic Girl's School. She's got a (text is too small to make out) personality, and sets the mood for the team. She's always walks right next to the older girls. She's the key person of the story.
Underclassmen
(Nakata Chisato, Katayama Haruka, Nonaka Misato, Uchida Mayumi)
They're the 1st year students on the Catholic Girl's School dance team. They're training super hard in preparation for their first competition!
Vampire Hunter (Nakanishi Katsuyuki)
His family has been in the business of vampire hunting for generations, and he has a "warrant" for Ruka. Humans can't see vampires, but he has a special looking glass through which he spotted Ruka, and is now chasing him.
Vampire Hunter's henchmen (Takahashi Hikaru, Adachi Yuji)
They're not entirely sold on the idea that vampires, invisible to humans, exist in this world. They chase vampires for fun.
Sayaka's Ruka is understanding... *______* That's exactly like the person I've been looking for... ;)
Now, these are the songs in the musical (some are really weird choices), we include the performers (character name):
- Aitakatta → All
- Ame no Doubutsuen → Utako, Eri and dance team members
- Kimi wa Pegasus → Ruka
- Saishuu beru ga Naru → dance team members
- Tomo yo → dance team members
- Nakinagara Hohoende → Maria
- Virgin Love → Ai, Isako and dance team members
- Hizukehenkousen → Maria and Ruka
- Fushidarana Natsu → Utako, Eri and dance team members
- Blue rose → Ruka
- Hone Hone Waltz → Maids and Hone Hone Dancers
- Maria → Ruka
- 109 → Maria and passers
- Mori he Yukou → dance team members
- Yakusoku yo → all
- Rio no Kakumei → Maria
- Renai Kinshi Jourei → Maids
Yea, I know, WTF is Hone Hone doing there? LOL.
We will see Sayaka and Sae singing three solo songs: Kimi wa Pegasus, Blue rose, and Maria. Wow. That's a big WOW. It's like (another) dream come true *___*
I seriously can't wait anymore.
Stay tuned. More info and pix are coming soon, very soon...
