Backstage Journal – Haruno Sakura (Dark Brown Eyes/VIVA! FESTA! in HAKATA)
Backstage Journal is a short Kageki feature where very young cast members write anecdotes about what’s going on behind the scenes of the productions. They’re not very deep, being full of emojis and more like blog entries than articles, but they are a good way to get to know the newest actresses in each troupe.
This one is by Cosmos Troupe member Haruno Sakura (of the 102nd Class) and was published in the April 2019 issue.

Ashizawa Jin is an illustrator/columnist who seems to have worked for GRAPH since the 1960s (yes, you read that right). His interview column generally gets a new title every year but has been fairly consistent format-wise in recent years. I’m giving him his own tag in the Staff category since he is one of the few interview conductors to be credited by name in the publications.
This interview with Kisaki Airi was published in the July 2017 issue of GRAPH and seems to have been recorded during the production of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
