Apologies, Niihara Taisuke, but I would be hard-pressed to come up with a worse Be our actor. Add there are a fair number of subparbiel actors out there. What makes it painful, though it is how he's acting alongside a minimum of two extremely talented actors, and as one of the main characters, you see him half the time essentially. I literally had to push myself past any scenes with him in them. And I'd say I'm mostly happy I did. Komagine Kiita and Usa Takuma gave 2 extremely powerful performances, and everyone's acting as actors in their respective plays/shows was phenomenal. As the villain in the play, Usa Takuma was chef's kiss :* perfection, and Komagine Kiita almost moved me to tears with his performances throughout the show. I can't imagine what it would have been like if he had been acting across from someone of equal caliber.

(Slight spoiler coming up) I do have one caveat to Niihara Taisuke's acting in that I think he was actually pretty incredible in the play itself (all 3-5 minutes of it). It makes me wonder if he has experience in theater which would make sense, or if he had been receiving bad acting directions for Shirasaki Yuki's character. Whatever it is, he did an incredible job in the play, and I want to give him kudos for that while still wishing they had done anything else with Shirasaki Yuki's character - Whether by choosing a different actor or completely... I honestly don't know what kind of stage directions would have made the character he portrayed; even his smiles and his posture made me cringe.
