Why are the Three Seaters also working a part time job? How come everyone has a part time job in this series

If Shirabe gave him a pine tree ornament I would have laughed

lol Shashiro so awkward around children

Why didn't Shirabe give him the present. It's not like she got interrupted

What is going on? Oh, I guess the creators remembered they had hired Mizuki Nana and done nothing with her

Where were these cats throughout this series lol

Cool crow power

Itassha can't catch a break this episode

Where did she pull that from

Gotta love that Santa is a real person in Sentai

Hey Santa, instead of hiring the giant robot, why not hire Sakito who's basically the Flash/Quicksilver

Guess the mecha battle took too long, Itaasha fell asleep

lol, Sakito isn't even allowed in the group shot with Santa. What a truly split off sixth ranger he is

Episode was all over the place, but the Itaasha stuff was enjoyable enough

Ugh. Mentioning Gokaiger but not showing the guest makes me feel like they didn't actually g et anyone (and even if they did, it's just like one person). The Toqger cameos really got me down, so i'm not expecting much here either

It's so funny when you recognized the locations. Sakito and ByunDi were supposed to be looking down at the Three Seaters selling Santa costumes, but the railings they were leaning on was actually on a roof and was no where near the street-level where the Three Seaters were.

Shirabe failing to give the gift to BoonBoom is so going to be a flag later.

Santa was played by Seike Riichi, who was the suit actor of Mad Rex.

Feels like a few relaxing episodes for the holidays seasons, and then things are going to blow up after the new year episode.

Itashaa Theatre is about to begin!!!

I still remembered the complicated expression on Producer Kuji's face when he read the plot given to us by scriptwriter Hojo Chinatsu-san, who had joined Boonboomger's production for the first time.

"When a spotlight suddenly shines through the darkness, Itashaa collapses to her knees in despair, the Tears of the Young Happy Girl Itashaa Theatre begins. Itasha sings like she's in Takarazuka Revue."

Kuji-P's desperate desire to hear Itashaa's voice actor, Mizuki Nana-san, sings, combined with the consideration of time, money, effort and various other circumstances, led him to just exclaim "Let's do it!!!"
The people in charge of music really put together a wonderful song despite having very little time, and we were also very grateful to the extremely busy Mizuki Nana-san and her manager for their tremendous support. Thank you so much, everyone!

The two cats, Sara and Lavinia, were Itashaa's imaginary friends. During the planning stage, they were named Rotten and Meyer, but since we wanted to make it in the style of "A Little Princess Sara", we took the names from the main character Sara and the bully Lavinia. The white cat is kinder, so we called her Sara, and the purple cat is harsher, so we called her Lavinia.

The lines and the song were recorded separately, but the part where Itashaa, Sara and Lavinia talked to each other was actually recorded all in one go rather than as separate characters. When I saw Mizuki-san instantly switching between the three characters and nailing it almost in one take, I got goosebumps. It was a reminder of the incredibleness of someone who continues to be active at the forefront of the industry.

Even when recording the song, Mizuki-san was particular about "I want to match the movements of suit actor Miyazawa Yuki-san" and "I want to make it work as a song, but since it's a musical, I also want to incorporate some acting as well."
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful scene!

The title of this song is "Young Lady Itasha~I'll Show You a Smile~" (少幸女イターシャ〜笑ってみせるわ〜). After the song was completed, we had a meeting to decide on the title. When researching what would be a musical-sounding title, we noticed that there was a format of "Main title~Subtitle~". After a number of suggestions we decided on this title.

Original Japanese Text

イターシャ劇場、開幕です！！！

今回ブンブンジャー初参加の脚本家・北条千夏さんからいただいたプロットに、
「暗闇にカッとスポットライトがあたると、膝から崩れ落ちたイターシャが悲しみにくれ、涙の少幸女イターシャ劇場」
「イターシャ、宝塚のように歌い上げて」
と書かれていたのを見たときの、久慈Pの複雑な表情を今でも覚えています。
時間、お金、手間、色んな大人の事情と、「でもイターシャ（つまり水樹奈々さん）の歌を聴きたい」という久慈Pのバクアゲ心が戦って…結果的に「やろう！！！」と決断してくださいました。
音楽担当の方々は、本当に時間のない中素敵な楽曲を仕上げてくださいました。
そして超多忙な水樹奈々さん、水樹さんのマネージャーさんにも多大なるお力添えをいただき、頭が上がりません。

皆様、本当にありがとうございました。

この2匹の猫「セーラとラビニア」は、イターシャのイマジナリーフレンド。
プロットの段階では「ロッテンとマイヤー」という名前でしたが、そもそも今回「小公女セーラ」風にしたい、というところから始まっていたので、主人公セーラといじめっ子ラビニアから名前を頂戴しました。
白猫の方が優しめなのでセーラ、紫猫の方が辛辣なのでラビニアとしています。

セリフと歌を分けて収録したのですが、歌中でイターシャとセーラとラビニアが3人で掛け合う箇所、実は役ごとではなく1回で通して録ったんです。
水樹さんが3人を瞬時に演じ分けながらほぼ1発で決めてくださったのを見たときは、鳥肌が立ちました。第一線で活躍され続けている方のすごさを改めて感じました。

歌の収録のときも、「スーツアクターの宮澤雪さんの動きに合わせたい」「歌としても成立させつつ、ミュージカルなのでやはりお芝居をちゃんと入れたい」とこだわってくださった水樹さん。
ほんっっとに素敵な場面にしてくださり、ありがとうございました！

この曲のタイトルは「少幸女イターシャ〜笑ってみせるわ〜」。
歌が出来上がったあとにタイトル会議を行いました。
「ミュージカルっぽいタイトルってなんだろう」と調べたとき、「本タイトル〜サブタイトル〜」という形式があることに気付き、僭越ながら色々皆さまにご提案させていただきました…さらに様々なご意見をいただいた上で、このタイトルに決定。

The 720p version is broken. It's only 3.5 MB

[takenoko]

Sorry, should be fixed now!

They haven't really been showing the cameos ahead of time. I'd be amazed if Marvelous isn't there. Honestly they've been showing an amazing amount of restraint compared to normally spoiling the whole thing in the previews.

I'm kind of disappointed we haven't had a Carranger or Turboranger at any point. We need Kyosuke in to teach us about traffic safety.
