Takii 5 Announces Final #1 Contender's Pass Pre-Reg Deadline & the Debut of "Extreme X-Pose"

Start Up The Countdown: TAKII 5 Announces Final #1 Contender's Pass Pre-Reg Deadline & The Debut Of "Extreme X-Pose"

March 2nd, 2008 -- Upper Darby, PA -- Just as serious as it was for Gendou Ikari to pair up young children to EVA suits in defense of Tokyo from the sinister ANGELs, it's even more urgent that those of you without a #1 Contender's Pass sign up for one! TAKII Coordinators stress that it is FREE to attend this (& any other) season of The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational, but purchasing a Contender's Pass enables you to partake in many exclusive perks that others would have to pay a nominal a-la-carte fee for otherwise. C'mon, think about it: would you rather keep on having to pay $1.00 for all of the 16+ competitions, tourneys, & game shows TAKII 5 has, or would you rather pay $8.00-$10.00 for an uber-sexy Pass you can easily flash at us for unlimited contest access? With a #1 Contender's Pass, you can wear it proud & say it loud that you are a hardcore member of the Team TAKII Coalition who can truly take it to the extreme.

The final deadline to pre-reg for a Pass (as well as a table slot as a dealer/artist/exhibitionist) are as follows:
#1 Contender's Pass -- Mar. 1st - Mar. 20th, 2008 -- $8.00/person
Table Space -- Mar. 1st - Mar. 20th, 2008 -- $30.00/person

As if the potential of winning dozens of world titles in various contests wasn't enough of an incentive to attend TAKII 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~, then the TAKII debut of "Extreme X-Pose" Panel Series surely will be. "Extreme X-Pose" is TAKII's answer to fan-produced panels & exhibitions taken to a level of enigmatic uniqueness not seen anyplace else before. For this season, TAKII Coordinators poured over many energized panel applications & decided on utilizing the submission of 1 organization in particular, Neko-chan Productions. It is because of this that TAKII Coordinators are not only excited, but proud to announce that Neko-chan Productions is holding its auditions for a fan-produced stage of the legendary Sailor Moon musicals!

The Musical Sailor Moon: Kaguya Shima Densetsu (The Legend Of Kaguya Island) AUDITIONS!
Neko-chan Productions is proud to announce their 1st round of auditions for their rendition of the 7th Sailor Moon Musical (aka SeraMyu), Kaguya Shima Densetsu (The Legend Of Kaguya Island) coming to the 5th season of TAKII! For those of you who are unaware, Sailor Moon exists in manga, anime, live-action, & musical formats (the later of which is commonly referred to as SeraMyu). Sailor Moon musicals have been running on stages across Japan since 1993, going well beyond the storylines created for the manga & the anime series. However, none of the musicals have been imported to the USA as of yet & this is where Neko-chan Productions comes in. Their production of Kaguya Shima Densetsu will serve as the ultimate plea from Sailor Moon fans all over the nation to Naoko Takuechi (Sailor Moon creator) & the other Japanese companies that made SM possible that their continuance of the legacy of Sailor Moon would not only be appreciated, but remembered for all time.

ALL AGES/WALKS OF LIFE ARE ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION, as the roles in the musical are quite diverse. If you anticipate auditioning, please fill out the following questionnaire: (http://takii.pdnmz.com/documents/takii5/seramyu7audform.doc). (NOTE: these same forms will be available & must be completed by the end of you audition @ TAKII 5)

During the course of these auditions, you will be briefed on the history of Neko-chan Productions, what Kaugya Shima Densetsu is all about, the characters that are are available, & what possible rehearsal commitments you would be making. If all of that sounds good to you, then HUZZAH! People trying out will be judged by a combination of Neko-chan Productions Staff & TAKII Coordinators based upon: ability to sing primarily in Japanese (with songs & lyrics provided by Neko-chan Productions), role versatility (having the ability to provide the creative stylings for more than just 1 character), ability to convincingly interpret portions of the script, & more. Once the audition process is complete, those who have been accepted into the production of Kaguya Shima Densetsu will be announced during the final day of TAKII 5.

As Ryouji Kaji would say, "You only think you understand. People cannot perfectly understand each other. They can't even understand themselves. Understanding 100% of anything is impossible. So, people endeavor to attempt to learn about themselves & others. That's what makes life interesting." So broaden your horizons & travel along the path of enlightenment to TAKII 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~ next month!
