And that's just the bulk of them

 

[Seventeen]

Murai Ryouta was Shishido in Tenimyu, he and Masahiro were in the same cast.

Gigantesu (Hoji's old friend from ep 11) = Kaidoh Kaoru from Prince of Tennis Musical and Hisagi Shuuhei from BLEACH Rock Musical

This is where it all started! :laugh:

Dori Sakurada from the Den-O movies was also in Tenimyu.
Eiki, Decades Knight-TeniMyu
Yoh, the dopant/missing boyfriend from W ep 1-Tenimyu


It'd be easier to list people who haven't been in a musical at this point. :laugh:

I listed all those people lol just not by name

This makes me a sad little bunny for some reason.

Just means they've got skills lol (Except GekiRed who still can't sing worth a damn. I should provide the proof video of his singing in the musical. It was GAWD AWFUL!)

Yes, it was. I'm still trying to discern what other part of his performance it was that got him the part in the first place. But I still love Zukki. ^^;

Oh, also...if Burimyu is being counted here, then where is Sion? (Kuranuki Masahiro, aka Sion from Timeranger, played Tousen!)

Zukki really is fabulous though haha. He's a good actor, just a **** singer lol Have you seen all the D-Boys stuff? I'm not as confused with Zukki as GekiRed as I was with Araki as Lio-sama

And oh ****! I honestly forgot him! BuriMyu is leaps and bounds above TeniMyu too. The actors from that are superb. When I saw Dark of the Bleeding Moon live i was completely blown away. TeniMyu lives was tons of fun though

*Goes to add Sion*

I ended up watching a lot of the stuff from around the start of Second Cast to...about the end of Gekiranger. These days I haven't seen as much...partially because Shirota-san left XP But yeah, Araki definitely captured the feel he needed for both his Tenimyu and Gekiranger roles.

oh ****! I honestly forgot him! BuriMyu is leaps and bounds above TeniMyu too. The actors from that are superb. When I saw Dark of the Bleeding Moon live i was completely blown away. TeniMyu lives was tons of fun though

I think part of the reason why Burimyu is able to excel above Tenimyu is that Bleach kinda has more of a believable plot. Prince of Tennis takes an ordinary sport and tries to turn it into SERIOUS BUSINESS with Dragonball-style finishers...Bleach has a richer plot because there are life-and-death stakes involved, and the kind of deep conspiracies that really draw you in. Plus a good majority of the actors were already experienced veterans at the time. (Not to mention at least 25% of them had been in Tenimyu at least once, hurr hurr X3)

And don't worry about forgetting Sion -- he didn't show up until "NoKura" (No Clouds in the Blue Heavens, right?) so he's not as involved as most of the others are. (P.S. Just to keep it consistent, the character's full name is Kaname Tousen.)

Now to wait for the official Goseiger casting *crosses fingers in the hope that Tatsuya aka Ichigo really is GoseiGreen*

 

[PhilGood]

Well Tatsuya Isaka who played Justiriser Glen in Justiriser plays the main character in the Bleach musicals.

 

[Yellow Stranger]

Actually, Isaka Tatsuya should be up on the list already anyway. He was in Shouta Date/Riser Glen in Justiriser!

Basically what the above poster said.
