Attack on Titan: The Musical and Eruri

The Musical reinforces and highlights Erwin and Levi's deep bond. Erwin is the one to introduce Levi's character, with a whole musical piece. As Erwin passionately sings about Levi, with his arms reaching, with a hand close to his heart and with emotional expressions, Levi makes his entrance. Later on, the two of them sign a duet together. They always appeared together on stage.

The actors who portray Levi and Erwin in the Musical, Ryo Matsuda and Takuro Ohno respectively, also deeply embody their own characters, and understand them perfectly. During a livestream the two of them did on Instagram, they revealed many aspects of the Musical's production, and discussed Erwin and Levi's deep bond with one another.

In the first half of the livestream, Ohno was asked which line he wants to deliver if the show continues:“Oh, this one I have for sure! "That's an order! Refill your gas, that's an order!" It's one of the moments where you can feel how incredibly strong the bond between Erwin and Levi is.”— Ohno Takuro.

When Ohno was asked what his favorite line from another character in the musical is, he said Levi's sassy "come," and he said it imitating Levi's voice. Then, he started to say nice things about Matsuda and how important his existence with him on stage was:“I think I was able to embody Erwin only because Ryo was playing Levi”— Ohno Takuro.

Someone asked Matsuda what his favorite Levi scene was in the musical, he mentioned that Levi's introduction, fighting while Erwin was singing, was his favorite part. As they kept talking, they got excited sharing all their feelings towards their characters and thanks the fans for allowing them to talk about these things: Ohno – “Oh that was so good. You know, in that scene I was looking at Levi and thinking "That's why I can trust him." Erwin can't say those words directly [Levi's last words to a dying soldier] because of his Commander position, so Levi acts carrying Erwin's thoughts and feelings on his back for him. In ACWNR, Levi said that Erwin sees things that he himself can't see, but that was more about seeing the future, however the rest of it he understands very clearly. It's like he feels naturally, without even thinking, when Erwin wants to do or say something (like to beat up Eren, for example.) Levi doesn't need any strategy meeting to feel what Erwin wants and to act for him. He basically does what's in his heart, but almost always that's exactly what Erwin needed.” Matsuda – “Oh, I totally agree.” Ohno – “It's like scratching an itch.” Matsuda – “I want to say to the people who's watching us now that I just love it so much when we talk about these things with Takuro-kun.” Ohno – “It's so fun, right?” Matsuda – “You know, I think that's also why we were able to trust each other without words while playing Levi and Erwin. There were parts of the play that were shaky. For example, at first, I couldn't fully control my wires while flying, so I was stuck in struggles to embody the humanity's strongest soldier, but then, when I heard Erwin singing (and you have a really strong voice, Takuro-kun), looking at his back while flying, I got that feeling "that's what Survey Corps is. Our minds and hearts are like this," and suddenly I wanted to become those wings. It was an awakening. So it happened thanks to you.”Ohno – “Woah, I'm happy, thank you, hahaha. You know, also before the play we always did a "good luck" fist bump with the dancers, but we never did it with you.” Matsuda – “Yeah, never.” Ohno – “We didn't need it, and I really like this kind of relationship. That we can convey everything without saying anything.” Matsuda – “Yeah, true. Why was it like that... For me, it just felt natural. We shared the dressing room and were on stage together, so our feelings were always aligned. And with everyone as well, it was a good relationship.”— Ohno and Matsuda discuss Erwin and Levi's relationship.

Before Matsuda joined the stream, Ohno said he would really want to do an ACWNR musical.“I want to say "Stop it. Drop your regrets". It's not the exact line, but you got the idea.”

Then when they were already together, they talked about it more and Matsuda said they watched it in the dressing room between gigs and practiced the lines from it.·

About the future: Matsuda – “I'd love to play Levi again. But if you don't play Erwin... I wonder if I can.” Ohno – “Right...After all, the relationship between Erwin and Levi is the most important thing, so. Me too, if you don't play Levi...”

~ KUROBA MARIO AMEBA BLOG TRANSLATION ~

Mario updated his blog. ^^

This time he wrote about the musical "Romeo and Juliet". By all means, please have a look at my translation of it below. ^^

Raising The Curtain Of The Musical “Romeo and Juliet”!

Everyone! Good day! I’m Kuroba Mario!

From yesterday the curtain of the musical “Romeo and Juliet” raised safely!

First of all, I’m extremely happy I could do this performance safely.

The musical “Romeo and Juliet” is a classical work as many seniors have played in it. When I appeared in the role of Mercutio in 2019 and I saw the Romeo of Furukawa Yuta and Ohno Takuro I thought “One day I want to do Romeo myself, too”, and as an actor I became wilfully jealous of the two of them. Therefore I’m really happy I can do it 2 years after.

Romeo who was played by many seniors. Inheriting this thought, I’ll make this work wonderful with playing my own Romeo!

And as a chairman, I’ll pull on the whole thing and do my best so no one would be left behind and to be able to welcome the very last performance safely!

I’m waiting for you at the theatre, so by all means please look forward to it!!

What it means to have Furukawa for Troupe Lead

The Troupe Lead will always ask for an extra round of applause for the invisible staff. 【Tango on the Campania 2018】

He will yield the spotlights to the supporting cast whenever possible. 【Romeo & Juliette 2019】

He checks the surroundings and protects his colleagues. While they were taking steps back, Furukawa first checked the position of the stage prop, and then put a hand to Aoi Wakana’s back to prevent her from bumping into the prop.【Romeo & Juliette 2019】

He will use the curtain call and press conferences to boost the views of his double-cast colleague, Ohno Takuro (Romeo) 【Romeo & Juliette 2017】

He will arrange surprises and celebrations for his colleagues.【The Lycoris that Blazes the Earth 2015】

And! He will make sure you’re fed and happy ♬ 【Always】
