Whew, that was a mouthful! Haha! Anyway, since the news about the Gyakuten Saiban/Phoenix Wright musical came out, I’ve been scouring my favorite Japanese online news sites for character pictures but it seems as if they have only decided on Tomu Ranju as Phoenix Wright.
Last night, I remembered that my Wyatt colleagues used to play fantasy NBA at work. While I never really understood that game, I thought maybe I can make my own fantasy team — Gyakuten Saiban version!!! Not that I wanted GyakuSai to appear as live action; I still prefer my Edgeworth as an anime character. 😛 But I just thought it would be fun to do, so there. As I thought, it is difficult to find someone to play Miles Edgeworth!!! Whoever he is, he’d better be ‘Edgeworth’ it!! (Ok, that was too corny…but I couldn’t help it)
Mia Fey – The easiest, surprisingly, was Mia. I chose actress Shinohara Ryoko for her fresh aura. She is mature enough, yet retains that youthful exuberance that Mia is known for. I can see her exerting cool authority over her protege Phoenix.
I must admit Shinohara-san wasn’t the first person to come to mind — it was Nakama Yukie, who did a lawyer role before for the series Shimane no Bengoshi (Lawyer from Shimane), then my all-time fave Matsushima Nanako. But I figured that whoever Mia will be must be voluptuous. Hehe. So even if Takeuchi Yuko qualifies because of her mole, she’s too thin to be Mia. ^____^
Phoenix Wright – Next, for the role of Phoenix Wright, I chose Tsumabuki Satoshi (insert Pokemon theme here). Not sure if Dards will agree, though. But my live action version of Phoenix Wright has gone up the hotness meter, woohoo! See, the spiky hair shouldn’t be a prob, as shown in Tsumabuki-san’s pic. そっくりですよね!Also, he has played some dorky characters in the past and would do well as the brilliant, dorky young lawyer.
