H!P/related Concerts and Stage Plays

While rest is important, I don't think that's the main problem she has right now... I'm pretty sure UF are giving her as much rest as she needs/wants [this the absence from Labo etc] but most importantly, I hope she watches what she eats and that she takes her medicine properly. Then of course not stressing out...

[Shoujo Q]

exactly, you get kind of a backstage peek.. we want the performances in concert quality. D:
it is better than nothing, though, so i hope some of these at least show up in DVD Magazines if they don't come to their senses and put the full performances on some other release.

Fanclub DVD with never before seen performances? I'd like that.

i wonder how they pick which girls will take part in what stage plays and other random activities. sometimes it's the most random eggs (at least Karin you'd be able to reason "well she's popular and has experience so that's probably why") and i'm just like.. did they ask which girls would be interested in the roles? is there something about the role that they thought would be fitting for that particular girl? are they picked at random? did they win some internal mini-contest?

in this case it's not actually that random, considering both those girls are in the new Kenshuusei unit.. perhaps just trying to get them more exposure. but sometimes it really has been random. like wasn't Hamachan interviewing OG's on some backstage footage? and i believe some random eggs have participated in small voice acting roles and such. how do they decide which ones?! xD man, now i'm gonna be bummed that i've voiced the questions and will never get the answers lol.

^ A few different girls did little interview bits with OG members, if I remember right. (Ayano, Natsumi, Kurumi? I remember Taguchi having sort of deadpan face for most of hers, and like.. shoving the toy mic on someone's face. Ogawa's? Might've been Ogawa.)

I tend to think it's a mixture of she'll fit well/does she want to/promote/auditioning for roles and maybe some spots of the director wanting to try and get them directly because they liked working with them or something (maybe not with trainees, at least not super new ones, but with experienced girls, etc).

So.. yeah, I like to think it's a little of everything.

I'm pretty sure they have to audition for it.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That one makes the most sense.

[Starra]

I'm not entirely sure, but that's what I think they do. I'm guessing what happens is that UF* are contacted about an up-coming stage play if there are any open spots, and girls with free schedules audition (if they want to, of course.).

[iceymoon]

that could be true with Kenshuusei, but if we go by patterns of what we've seen done in the past with non-trainees, it's usually a decision that's made before-hand and then the girl is told during a meeting that they will take part in such-and-such stageplay/voice acting/etc and will be playing such-and-such role. so that's how i pictured it with Kenshuusei but it'd be awesome if they actually had to audition. x3
