Crows zero hair
His character was very much a comedy role, a strong guy with a huge weakness for girls. This guy was so funny and had the best timing. His best moment in the stage for me was when he stood and watched his gang beating up Genji, and then ended it with one nice punch right in his chin. I find that those desperate emotional scenes are where Shohei generally shines most. In particular I really loved Serizawa’s scenes with Tokio and with Tokaji when he was caught doing things behind his back. While I really liked his fight scenes, the times when he really shone was when he was upset or angry with someone he cared about. He was not a wild guy and had a lot of care and genuine friendships with the other members of his group. I liked that his character was very calm and didn’t want to fight unless he really had to, unlike Genji who would fight his way through anyone who got in his way. Despite his shyness in real life he always puts across a convincing confident performance. There is no doubting that Shohei does the angry roles well. I came to realise that sometimes his character is just as much of a failure as he is in real life. During this scene he has a notebook he’s reciting speeches from, and during the senshuuraku he accidentally dropped it which led to him giving a very cute and very Taishi-like “ah!” to which everyone in the audience let out a “kawaii!”. Despite this though he also managed to show his cute side in one particular scene where he’s trying to convince one of his classmates to join his gang. However, his acting skills really shone and he managed to have a lot of power. I was a little worried about Taishi playing someone so rough because he’s such a happy, sparkly, awkward guy in real life. They all did such a great job together that I really wanted to talk about as many of them as possible. There was a mix of Bancho Boys members, 10-Jin Actor members, and a variety of others including an ensemble who were cast from auditions. There were so many cast members in this show that at the end when they came out for the curtain call, the stage was completely full. Through the story, Genji has the challenge of working his way up through the strongest boys in the school to eventually defeat the current “top” member, Serizawa Tamao (Domoto Shohei). Genji’s father is a yakuza boss who could not not manage to become the “top” at the school, and has promised Genji he will acknowledge him as a successor if he manages to do it. The story followed Takiya Genji (Matsumoto Taishi) as a new student at Suzuran Boys’ High School, which is notorious for its delinquents. There were a few small non-plot effecting changes that I’ll mention later, but it was pretty close.

If you have seen the movie then the plot is the same and so reading won’t spoil anything, but if you haven’t then I suggest you don’t read on unless you don’t mind about being spoiled about the plot.Īs I mentioned, the plot of the stage followed the plot of the movie almost exactly. Please note that this review does contain spoilers. This was the second Bancho Boys stage I’ve watched all the shows of, and although this was a completely different experience to the randomness of Amaku wa nai ze 2, I can still say that I enjoyed each and every show, even though the content was a lot more rigid than their other stages I’ve seen. From November 30th to December 3rd 2017, I stayed in Tokyo to watch all five shows of Bancho Boys 10th stage, Crows Zero.
