Kizetsu Suru Hodo Aishiteru! (気絶するほど愛してる！) is an Engeki Joshibu musical starring Country Girls (excluding playing manager Tsugunaga Momoko), Tsubaki Factory, and Sudo Maasa. It will run from March 25 to April 3, 2016 at Ikebukuro Theater Green.
 
The musical was originally planned to have additional dates on May 28 and 29, 2016 at ABC Hall in Osaka, however due to the leading actress Inaba Manaka having asthma and subsequently going on hiatus, these dates have been cancelled.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Country is beckoning for me to come and yet I can't be there!!! I caaaannnnnn''tttttttttttt (ノдヽ)

[Meroron♥]

Glad Country Girls are getting to do a musical too, AND YES, MORE TSUBAKI. Give it to me~

 

The title is ~romantic~, so will it be a love story? Should we expect Ozeki male role? Ozeki/Risamaru male roles for a love triangle?

I'm guessing the main role would go to Chisaki or Nanami. Hoping for Chisaki!

 

I wonder what role Kiki will get *__*

[Laharle]

Oh that's nice. We'll see a bit more of CG's vocals. Hope they let Manakan, Nanamin and Funakki sing a lot. And Ozeki will probably get a male role if there are any.

[RenaiHunter]

Risa and Ozeki will get the male roles (if any) for sure. I want to see Kiki as a main character!

[RenaiDestiny。]

Based on the title alone it sounds like it has some love story behind it. Ozeko/Maru male roles, Chisaki/Kiki main , Nanami/Musubu duet please.

As a Kishimon fan...I'm really overwhelmed now...in the best kind of way. She looks so cool! They all look cool and cute.
Also, if someone could summarize what it's about, I'd be very very happy!

[Juandalyn]

Holy dang, at first I thought they were doing a collab with a boygroup (without reading the thread title). They're all looking amazing.

[momo9]

I'm really excited for this musical! I love the title so much    They all look soo good especially Kishimon

Set in the 1960s, a girl named Hiroko (Inaba Manaka) comes to Tokyo from the countryside. She absolutely LOVES a rockabilly band called "Billy Hoshino to Galapagos King" (Onoda Ayasa, Kishimoto Yumeno, Ozeki Mai, Yamaki Risa). She meets Sachiko (Morito Chisaki), who looks just like her deceased younger sister.

Hiroko's favorite is the band's vocal, Billy (Kishimoto). They become close because of ~reasons~ and she falls in love with him. But the times are changing, and the popular genre starts to transition from rockabilly to group sound (GS), so Billy's popularity goes down.

Inaba comments on being the main character:
"To be honest, I'm really worried. This is my first time having to memorize so many lines, so I feel like I don't have a choice but to do my best! Hiroko is a wonderful, straightforward girl that puts others first, so I'd like to act with everything I've got to express that to the audience!"

Ozeki comments on her male role, whose name I don't know how to romanize.
(Mercy? Marthy? Marcy?? Maashii!?)
"I think I'm going to work hard to get close to the person written in this script, even if it's just a little!"

Yamaki comments on her male role, Jerry:
"This production is set in the 1960s, so I want to properly make expressions from that time period. It's been two years since I was last in an Engeki Joshibu production, so I'll do my best to show that I've improved! I think I'd like to show the transition from rockabilly to GS through Jerry."

[Note: the article makes a typo on "Jerry" to where it says "Julie" lol, but Yamaki's comment says Jerry.]

[tsubakisaikou]

Thank you very very very much! That sounds really interesting. Especially the dead sister and romance part lol

[Obsidian]

Oh god! Someone get them to cover Mirai Bowl whilst they're at it.

[zam（仮）]

When I saw the pics, first thing that came to mind was Grease

 

I didn't recognize Risa

But Yumeno still looks the same to me

Ozeki looks great.

I didn't got the chance to screenshot the page before they removed it, but Fukuda Kanon wrote the lyrics for the soundtrack. It was confirmed by one of the staff members tho.

[tsubakisaikou]

They're all way too cute and I'm so glad Nyon is getting the chance to practice her writing skills more. This looks so good

[Laharle]

Seriously? Go Maro~

 

 

Holy dang, at first I thought they were doing a collab with a boygroup (without reading the thread title). They're all looking amazing.

lmao same. Until I saw Risa's pic I only thought one of them could be Yumeno.

 

Yay Manakan! I expect a FunakkiYanamin duet considering their twin outfits.

[AmaSusE]

Huuh, this looks really good! ...now I'm excited! 

 

Manakan gives me Riho smirk vibes here .... bittersweet~ 

 

 

 

[zam（仮）]

I expect a FunakkiYanamin duet considering their twin outfits.

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
Even their hair style are the same.

[nadirahani]

Yamaki looks so.... I don't know how to say it but   

Ozeki looks like a little boy.. 

Kishimon looks the same..

And the other girl is Onoda Ayasa, right?

 

 

Yay Manakan! I expect a FunakkiYanamin duet considering their twin outfits.

 

They could become twins in that musical too. They have the same exact hairstyle.
