days was a photo feature in GRAPH where performers created a journal or blog-style timeline of photos with captions. Aizuki’s, recorded while she was still a Cosmos Troupe member features the end of Chateau de la Reine through the start of rehearsals for A Motion.
days – Aizuki Hikaru
I’m starting with the end of Chateau de la Reine‘s run in the Grand Theatre, through the Tokyo performance and my vacation afterwards, and now I’m in the middle of rehearsals for A Motion!
3/13 – With the setting sun in my hand…
During the break I had before the rehersals for the Tokyo run started, I went with my mother to Hawaii. It was my first time travelling with my mother in a long time, and we were able to spend a relaxing time together.
4/10 – Mt. Fuji is so beautiful
On a day off performance, I went to an outlet in Gotemba with my mother, and Mt. Fuji looked so beautiful! ‘I can see it so clearly!!’ I thought, and I took piles of photos in my surprise (laughs).
4/28 – With Cosmos Troupe’s princess
During Misaki’s Grand Theatre farewell recital the timing didnt line up, so I wasn’t able to get a photo of her in this cute yellow dress, but in Toyko I thought ‘I have to get a picture!!’ and put on a tuxedo to get ready for it (laughs).
5/1 – First time at Sky Tree
The day after the final performance, my classmate Yumeki Anru-chan was already in Tokyo for her upcoming show, so we went to hang out! It was my first time climbing Sky Tree, but at night I wasn’t so conscious of the height (laughs), so I’d like to go up again during the daytime.
5/5 – With graduating Hoshou-san
We went to see Snow Troupe’s Grand Theatre performance. Hoshou-san did so much for me while she was in Cosmos Troupe… The first role I performed in a junior performance was Hoshou-san’s role1, and I learned so much from her, so I’m sad to see her go, but I was happy to get this last photo together!!
5/16 – A Motion
During A Motion rehearsals, we were saying “It’s not often we classmates can get photos together while we’re so dressed up,” and we took this picture. In this show, we’re closer to normal makeup, not like usual program headshots or stage makeup, and the costumes are monotone shirts and pants so it’s a really fresh, stylish feel.
5/17 – Rehearsal recharge!
My day off overlapped with Makaze-san, who was in the Paris Festival, and Kanon-san, from the Bow Hall team, so we went bowling. They said my bowling form was kind of weird (laughs) but my score was pretty good! After that we played with the UFO catchers and goofed around together for the first time in a long time (laughs), and that night we went to eat yakiniku. It was a great energy recharge for rehearsals.
5/25 – I always sleep holding this
I mostly sleep on my side or on my front, but if I sleep on my front it gradually starts to hurt more and more, so if I put the guy on the right between me and the bed then it’s perfect. I love it so much I bought the little guy on the left, too. I bring it on national tours and things (laughs).
1 – In Paradise Prince, where Aizuki had her first full junior performance role rather than a walk-on extra.
