What makes your comments intriguing for me is that your view makes a good contrast to a friend mine's opinion who went to Fukuoka to see the show.
Well, different strokes for different folks. I'm glad to hear that your friend enjoyed the show, since it means that her performance appealed to some non-Kiriyan fanatics.
While Kiriyan was struggling with Bill in Hakata-za, Asako screwed up Gatsby in Nissay Theater by playing out the role with complacent shallowness. They should have switched the roles, maybe.
Huh, interesting. Sometimes Asako really nails her dark/angsty characters, and sometimes she just looks bored. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
