It\u2019s been a long time. This is Amahana Ema. This will be my second Backstage Journal. It\u2019s been 3 years\u2026I\u2019ll do my best to make this a fun journal entry, so please stay with me until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In The Scarlet Pimpernel, you all may have noticed, but\u2026the members of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel wear the same colors as another band of warriors!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pay attention to their fashionable clothes!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tumblr_inline_p3v1tlmL061sb5s22_500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tumblr_inline_p3v1tlmL061sb5s22_500.png 500w, https:\/\/zukalations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tumblr_inline_p3v1tlmL061sb5s22_500-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>&#8216;Creation of Man&#8217;, The Scarlet Pimpernel (2017) screencap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The League all wear re~ally colorful courtly suits, but if you look closely\u2026OMG!! Aren\u2019t those the same colors worn by the Sailor Senshi in Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon?!! Dewhurst (Ichijo) in yellow: Sailor Uranus, Ozzy (Toa) in blue: Sailor Mercury, Elton in green (Mao): Sailor Jupiter, Farleigh (Shidou) in orange: Sailor Venus, Hal (Aya) in purple: Sailor Saturn, Ben (Amahana) in red: Sailor Mars, Ffoulkes (Tenju) in pink: Chibi-Usagi &lt;3 And our leader, Percy (Kurenai) is of course Tuxedo Mask!!! \u2026but. In the end, there was no Sailor Moon, so when we were discussing it, we settled on asking His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales (Ema)!! But as it turns out, we are still recruiting for a Sailor Moon &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RESCUE!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for how and why this got started\u2026we don\u2019t know ourselves, to be honest. It just happened one day in the dressing room. I would often goof around with Papa (Hiroka Yuu), but that day she suddenly shouted \u2018Rescue!!\u2019 and hugged me. From that day on I became a disciple of Rescue. Some days I would hug her, other days catch her legs with mine &#8211; without that we couldn\u2019t get our energy up before the curtain rose for the performance. Also, it wasn\u2019t just Papa and me &#8211; a lot of people got into it and more and more people ended up as targets for Rescue. The 3 main things people would shout were &#8216;Rescue!\u2019, &#8216;Let\u2019s Q!\u2019, and &#8216;Finding Nemo!\u2019 If you\u2019re feeling down give it a try!! It will give you energy!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ben\u2019s date &lt;3<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this is a private matter, one morning before the show me and my lover Polly-chan (Amairo Mineri) decided to go on a date. But when I asked the charming Polly what she would like to eat: &#8216;What!? Oh\u2026o\u2026olives!!\u2019 Olives?! Ben was shocked. Imagine that, olives\u2026 Polly hadn\u2019t been able to think straight at the sudden question. So cute~ &lt;3 In the end, they had something else, but when the adoring Ben saw Polly eating happily he was so charmed he would have forgiven anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How was that, everyone? This production was nothing but fun every day. It was the retirement performance for my dear friend Mioka Anri, so it\u2019s very sad to lose a precious companion, but I have every wish for her happiness and I\u2019m thankful we were able to do this fun show together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you very much for reading!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backstage Journal is a short Kageki feature where very young cast members write anecdotes about what\u2019s going on behind the scenes of the productions.
