Sakurai Reika (Reika) / 1st Gen

​

From dwango (distant relative of python manage.py runserver)

Some excerpts

- Asked about her father's reaction on the PB's sexy cuts (her father wasn't thrilled about the 1st PB's sexy cuts)
RS : lol. Didn't show it to him, not even 1 photo, although she showed him some trial photos (i guess this would be the off shot?) , told him, it's a bit like this and this ... Maintains a poker face that she couldn't get a read on what he really feels about it.

- She looks up to Sayaka Kanda and Otsuka Chihiro (stage actors also from TDV,Rebecca) as her senpais and get advice from them.

- She gets excited and reads fan letters and could remember faces in the audience (familiar faces probably who watched her performances several times)

Where is your gaze (視線) aiming at right now?
RS : I just started (lol), theater.

 

She's so damn pretty

Comment from RS :
I first watched this in grade school and didn't understand the social nuances of it, I just thought it has lots of singing and dancing. Now as an adult I realized the deeper meaning.
I never imagined to be a part of this great play, I still have a lot to learn but I'll do my best .

She looked different

Reika Walker Plus Article in relation to The West Side Story Season 3


Reika plays the role of Maria in West Side Story Season 3


I wondered at first if I'm a fit to play the role of Maria


This revolving audience seat is an attraction!


Since my Nogi days, I always consider myself as better dancer than a singer


It's W cast so every performance would be different


For musicals, its the power of music.


For fans, musicals , with its unique style of singing, will feel fresh and enjoyable

 

Open to the public practice of West Side Story Season 3

Sorry, who is matsukoma?

 

A LEGEND.

This is really a heart-breaker for me, I have a ticket for May 16, that's Reika's 26th birthday
But this is all for the greater good

Everyone stay safe and stay at home.

 

Happy Birthday Reika!
