Scusatemi, ma con tutto quello che è successo in Giappone me ne sono accorta solo ora: l’uscita del DVD e del Blu-ray di WILD LIFE è stata rimandata, rispettivamente, al 20 aprile per il primo e al 18 maggio per il secondo. Trovate tutte le informazioni come sempre sul sito ufficiale di Hikki.
Potete ancora ovviamente ordinare la vostra copia su YesAsia.
Conoscendo le ragioni di tale rinvio, credo sia doveroso non aggiungere altro.
Walking her own road from a young age, headstrong dancing prodigy Subaru (Kuroki Meisa) is determined to become a professional ballerina, a dream she carries both for herself and her late twin brother. Despite a tough childhood, Subaru grows as a dancer under the guidance of retired ballerina and cabaret club owner Isuzu (veteran actress Momoi Kaori). Shining through with her vibrant but undisciplined talent, she wins a coveted spot in a ballet production, and enters an international competition to vie for entry into the top ballet companies. But in a competitive world where friends are also foes, a very tough road lies ahead for Subaru.
Sure, one can argue that part of the problem is that today’s singers lack the distinctive talent that was a key attribute of many of the ‘superstar’ singers who came out of the 80s/early 90s (and the 70s to some extent) generations. Yes, that is true and I will be the first to agree with this ‘argument’ – BUT it’s not the ONLY reason. Of course, many of the previous generation singers had distinctive voices and singing skills / styles that set them apart from others and made them ‘easily recognizable’ as soon as they opened their mouths to sing (who here isn’t able to recognize the voices of Roman Tam, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, etc) – but that doesn’t mean these artists didn’t put effort into their singing…just because they had the benefit of being endowed with awesome talent and great voices doesn’t mean that they could just ‘cut corners’ and let their talent alone bring them ‘fame and fortune’. In addition to sharing good work ethics, one thing that many of the previous generation’s artists shared is a true passion for making good music – basically “ making music for music’s sake” (as opposed to today’s mantra of “making music for money’s sake”).
