I went to see the Cosmos Troupe's Grand Theater Newcomer Performance "Casino Royale - My Name is Bond".

My impressions:

- It feels like it's been a while since we've had a newcomer performance that really felt like a newcomer performance. This was the same as the Moon Troupe's Oten no Mon, it was really fresh and, for better or worse, it felt like a newcomer performance. There weren't many girls in this Cosmos Troupe newcomer performance who stood out in a bad way, but there were also few girls whose stage names matched their faces. They weren't bad singers, but there wasn't anyone with overwhelming singing ability that everyone was convinced of. It could be that there are girls who have singing ability but they just haven't used them.

- The difference in actual stage experience is clearly visible. When the girls who have roles in the main performance appear in the newcomer performance, they seem to stand out a head and shoulders above the others. Especially

Aon Yusei and Yamabuki Hibari. In professional baseball, it's like a regular first-string player appears in a second-string game. These two were relaxed.

・Bond @ Oji Rise, the lead in the new production, had good posture and voice, but I want to say this to the theater company. If he's going to be the lead in the new production, he should be given a good role in the previous performance so he can train better. I'm looking forward to the new production in Tokyo.

・The heroine of the new production, Delphine @ Mihoshi Hona. It was a role that was originally reserved for Junka, so I think it was difficult to act. I could see how hard she tried. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

・Michel Barrault @ Izumidou Sei, his appearance and posture are impeccable, but I think he could go even further if he had singing skills that everyone could agree on.

・Nao Reito, the Romanov brother, has an attractive aura. Maybe he'll star in the new production next time.

・The MVP is Mashiro Yuki. He gave a great performance in both the role of Director M and Doctor Zweistein. His voice and timing are great, and he acts in a way that draws the audience in. His singing was also good. I could sense that Mashiro-kun's acting had clearly changed the atmosphere of the stage.

・Rurutan (Kaedehime Ruru) played Irina, Hiroko's (Mineoto Shiho) role in the main performance. Rurutan's beauty is a thing of the past. Rurutan's maid outfit in the main performance was super cute, but I'll write about that in my impressions of the main performance.

・When the older students were taking their seats before the start of the new performers' performance, Naniro-kun (Kazeiro Hinata) was faced with a situation where there were no seats available. This incident occurred when a member of the public mistakenly sat in the seat where Naniro-kun was meant to sit. Naniro-kun hurriedly went to see a lady at the theater. Naniro-kun was the one who got the blame.
