在網上知道“椿姬”會再上演的時候，便二話不說的決定要去，因上回真的“不夠喉”。

今回在關西的琵琶湖公演，“0下？琵琶湖？” 記得有一集PU SMAP他們是去琵琶湖的。 今回另外兩個朋友亦會去，好啊，有個伴。 我們還為了省錢，厚顏的賴皮住在記者訂的家。

琵琶湖很大的，而舉行“椿姬”的地方"琵琶湖劇場"在大津市內，在大阪坐約三十五分鐘(急行車)便到。 大津市不是很大，如在車站行約十五分鐘便到琵琶湖。

第一天我們中午已到了，便在大津市逛逛。 到達琵琶湖劇場時我們大叫，因為面對個湖好靚。 在湖邊是一個湖濱公園，沿著行很舒服。 原來琵琶湖劇場是今年新開的，在“背面”好像一艘“雙體船”的。 但正面是落地大玻璃對著湖，很靚很靚。

我們一入場內見到今次那張海報便大叫！ 是龍貓很喜歡的那張相，在“椿姬”那本書內的。 我暈啦。 我們還很傻的在海報旁拍照。

約四時半便入那個中HALL了。 今次這個HALL比上次的當然大很多，上回的只容納四百人，今回起碼八百人呢。但是這HALL的座位是扇型向上斜的，所以就是坐得後點都可以很清楚的看到台的中央。

五時鈴聲響起，“椿姬”開始了。 啊，今回因為是在一個“舞台”上，有新的視覺效果呢！ 日文字幕(因為女高音唱的是法文)會投影在舞台的牆上。 另外，配合內容，不同的場景亦會投影出來，如“椿姬”的家，“椿姬”去那伯爵的家。。。等。

亞剛出場了！ 今回他還是穿上白西裝，但不是上次那套，今次的像在演唱會內唱STOP那套白西裝。 嘩！當然超靚仔啦。 不知是否因為周圍的燈暗淡了，而且兩旁有射燈投在亞剛身上，加上他的白西裝，龍貓覺得亞剛是在“發光”的，哈哈！

上回只掛著望亞剛，今回因已得知他的演繹方法，之前溫習了一次那台本，所以今次留心他怎去“朗讀”。 真的因為有了經驗，龍貓覺得亞剛做得比上回好 (那似是應該的吧)。 今次更明顯“聽”得出亞剛怎去運用他的聲線去分別出是不同人在說話。 而且今次的肢體動作好像多了，像那段：“DE，DE。。”他大力的動他的頭呢。

在最後一節，今回亞剛站了起來，讀出最後一段，然後很型的吹熄蠟燭做終結，嗚~

在謝幕時當然我們是一貫的大力拍掌，亞剛亦很紳士的和鋼琴家和歌唱家一次又一次的謝幕。

第二天最後一場和之前的沒大分別，只是平時在歌唱家唱歌時，亞剛會閉目養神的 (因龍貓一定會用望遠鏡在黑暗中望著亞剛)，但最後一天這個亞剛終於按耐不住，竟然在周圍望，哈哈！ 不知他在望的同時，有沒有看到有些觀眾用望遠鏡望著他呢？ 可會嚇了他一跳？

另外，在謝幕時我們更熱烈鼓掌，劇場亦很“合作”的沒有開大燈，所以在最後亞剛要再三，四次出來，還和觀眾揮手。 我們當然亦拼命的向他“回揮”啦！ 哈哈！ 原來觀眾賴皮是有效的。

啊，第一天坐下之後不久，龍貓見到一名男仕進場，便連問身邊的朋友：“他是否那作家土田先生？” “是啊，是啊！” 我們看他坐在那兒。。。。。 不是吧？ 他坐在龍貓的後一行！ 所以在完場後龍貓便不理三七二十一把場刊(台本)捧到土田先生面前請他簽名，他很高興的在簽。 龍貓更厚顏的告訴他是從香港來的，他即時驚到不得了！ 哈哈！ 真的嚇了他一跳，可能他不會估到有人會癲到山長水遠的去看亞剛吧。

第二天一進場便又見到土田先生，和一個穿上白襯衣的女仕。 本來沒什麼特別的。。。 但在龍貓坐下不久，赫然見到白襯衣女仕坐在龍貓後一行，不會那麼巧吧。。。。。 而且今天龍貓的位和昨天是不同的。。。。。 哈哈！ 今回到龍貓嚇了一跳，土田先生真的坐在龍貓後一行。不過今天在還未完場他便走了。

再一次要多謝Fuji TV給亞剛再一次的演出, 待我們一班fans多一次見到亞剛的機會.

亞剛，亦要謝謝你的精彩演出！
 
 

When Totoro learned from the web that Tsuyoshi will hold the show again, Totoro decided to go again.  The show will be held at Biwako hall, next to Biwako Lake.  Ah, once in Pu-SMAP Tsuyoshi and Yusuke went there.  Three of other Tsuyoshi fans would like to go together, great.

Biwako Lake is very large, the hall is located in a city called "Otsu". (Otsu?  Shingo Mama's "O-Tsu"? Haha)  About 35 minutes train from Osaka.  Otsu is not large, you can walk to the Biwako Hall within 15 minutes from the station.

We walked around the lake side, Biwako Lake is very large and beautiful.  Biwako Hall is newly built in this year.  From the back it looks like a hydrofoil, in the front the windows are all facing the lake, very very beautiful.

We screamed when we saw the poster.  It is not the same as last time's.  The photo is the one that Totoro like most in the pamphlet of {Tsubaki-Hime]. We took many photos with the poster, haha, baga.

We went into the middle hall at around 4:30 p.m.  The hall was larger, can hold around 800 people.  Besides, the seats are like an uchiwa, so everyone should see the middle of the hall clearly.

The show started at 5:00 p.m.  There was new visual effect on the wall of the hall.  There is sub-title in Japanese when the lady sang in French.  And there are projections on the wall for different situation, e.g. the girl's home, the richman's home.

Here came our Tsuyoshi!  He was in white again, but the suit was not the one he wore last time, this time is just like the one in SMAP concerts when they were singing "Stop".  Anyway, Tsuyoshi is Prince Charming la!  Cho-kakkoii!  Don't know if it was because the lights were dimmed, there was spot light on Tsuyoshi, and he wore suit in white, Totoro found that Tsuyoshi was shinning!  Haha!

Last time Totoro took all the time to look at Tsuyoshi.  This time as Totoro know how Tsuyoshi will perform, Totoro read the script again before the show started, and paid more attention to how Tsuyoshi using his voice to read out the story.  Totoro found that Tsuyoshi was much better than last time (should be ma).  It was even clearer to know that Tsuyoshi was performing for different characters.  Besides, Tsuyoshi moved his head more frequently to match with what he was saying.

Tsuyoshi stood up in the last part, read out the last few lines and blew out the candle, cool~

We clapped our hands hardly and they went out to thanks us again and again.

There was no much difference during the show the next day.  When the lady sang, Totoro used to look at Tsuyoshi and usually he closed his eyes.  However, in the last show, Totoro found that Tsuyoshi was looking around in the dark.  Haha, don't know if he found that some fans were taking their telescopes and looking at him ne.  He might be shocked.

When the last show finished, all the audience stood up and clapped hands hardly.  The lights in the hall were not turned bright.  So Tsuyoshi went out for more than 5 times.  The last time he went out he waived hands to his fans, i.e. us, sure we waived back hardly.

Ah, an interesting side story.  During the first show, when Totoro sat down, a man came in.  "Is he the script writer?"  Totoro asked my friend. "Yes, yes."  So Totoro looked at him and saw where he sat.  Haha, he sat just a row after ours.  Thus after the show, Totoro at once took out the pamplets and asked him to sign for me.  Totoro also told him that I am from HK, he was very surprised.  Yes, he may have never thought of there is such a crazy fan.

The next day, the script writer and his assistant, a lady in a white shirt, were standing at the entrance (maybe waiting for someone).  After Totoro sat down again, yee..... the lady in a white shirt was at my back.  No, no, just been kidding ma..... As Totoro's seat was not the same as that of yesterday, how come.....  Haha!  The script writer really sat at the row back of Totoro again.

Anyway, Totoro must thank Fuji TV to arrange for another show for Tsuyoshi, so that we, as Tsuyoshi's fans, can meet him again.

Thanks Tsuyoshi for your brilliant performance!
