Or am I just behind the times, and everyone else has already seen it?

I just love Tantomile in this pic (the one who looks like Cassandra, for those who don't know). She's gorgeous!

Well, okay, every person in the picture is gorgeous.

I'm sure it's newer, but not brand new. I've always loved the makeup in the Japanese production.

[abbeycat]

that's beautiful.

Hi, I'm Sakura, and I used to post messages on this forum for many years ago.
I haven't posted anything for a long time, but I often come to the forum and read posts.

This picture is a latest CATS poster and a flyer (and also a bookcover) in Japan. If you come to Tokyo, you can see the posters near the CATS theater and at train stations. I love this new picture, too.

Have you guys seen new TV commercials of Japanese CATS?
There are 2 versions of TVCF, and they are so cute!
Every time when I get on a train of Yamanote Line, I see these commertials (there are small TVs in trains)

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer version:

(These videos are from the Official site of Shiki Theater Company)

i also found this on yahoo videos...CLICK FOR LINK
I dont know how to find the link on the page as my silly computer doesnt display Japanese characters so i have just cliked on the 'play video' feature. It has some talking on it but a good vid of snippets. (i also dont know how to shorten the link like some folks put the words 'click here' and boom its underneath so sorry the links a bit long!)

I especially like tha fact that Misto does his conjouring turns to the left instead of the right.

Sakur@:
I love the Bustopher commercial, its just so funny!

[Misto]

That clip is AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE Demeter and Grizabella's voice! I am sooooo pleased that it has Misto in! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


MISTO!!!!!

[Nemi]

Ooooohhhh Bustopher!

Those video clips are so darned fantastic. I wish I were Japanese right now.

[Idiosylph]

I LOVE the Jennyanydots. I really want to make a Japanese Jenny costume sometime.

[Cassandra]

[Etcetera Kitten]

Ohhh thank you su much guys for all the Japanese stuff! It so makes my day to have a new piccie and new videos to watch!!!

And on the first post piccie, I really love the Skimbleshanks. The Japanese Skimble is very happy and joyful ^^

And their Misto is just... wow! So elegant and classy, I'm in love!

[Kragey]

Those fecking vids won't play for me. God, I hate realplayer.

[pkitty663]

WOW! I love Misto's turns...now that's a misto I want in the tour...cuz not only is he a good dancer...he's hot..WHOO MISTO

[Jemima57]

[Natasha]

I love that video!
Does anybody know how to download it?

[Roxanne]

My computer won't run them, either. Anyone here able and willing to convert them to mpegs or some other such thing? Please? =)

[Natasha]

And who's that Misto? I like him! What a gret dancer! Does anyone know what's his name? Isn't it Almas or something like that?

Just joking He reminds me of one of the Russian Misto actors, he was also a BRILLIANT dancer. But he left Russia, sadly.

[littlgriz]

that wase so buteful it makes me mis my mikey boy thay all look so wonderful

[Carbucketty]

[Natasha]

[Carbucketty]

[Sakur@]

Yes, Mistoffelees in those video clips is Cai Xiao-Qiang. He's good dancer and is very small, so I think he suits for Misto.

Also, the performers in the flyer are:
Griddlebone...Hanayo Kimura
Rum Tum Tugger... Shoichi Fukui
Bombalurina... Chie Minami aka Meng Tian (Chinese)
Mistoffelees...Cai Xiao-Qiang (Chinese)
Demeter... Ai Masumoto
Victoria... Kanako Sakata
Munkustrap...Zhao Yu (Chinese)
Jennyanydots... Hiromi Isozu
Skimbleshanks...Ryota Suzuki
Tantomile...Yuka Takizawa

There are quite a few of Chinese performers in CATS.
I've seen the performance that 10 of 24 cats are Chinese.
Sometimes Japanese fans wonder if Gekidan Shiki is planning to perform CATS in China.

[Natasha]

Thanks, Sakur@

Oh, I'd love to hear CATS in Chinese!
