Once upon a time a group of Japanese executives said, let’s make an Air Gear musical!
Executive A said, ” That’s brilliant! Let’s cash in on this hot franchise! ”
ExecutiveB slapped his hand on the conference table and nodded in agreement excitedly! ” Yes! It’ll be the summer’s hottest hit! ”
Then the quiet executive at the end of the table pushed his glasses up the brige of his nose and timidly asked, ” What guys are going to come and watch a musical about guys on rollerblades… singing?”
Then the three executives stopped, pondered, and then Mr. A yelled out, ” We’ll make an entirely new team! They’ll bring the girls! ”
” Of course! Like the Prince of Tennis Musicals! ” Mr. B said excitedly. ” My god, its brilliant! ”
” But what will a new team do? ” The pessimistic C asked.
” We’ll make them gay of course! ” A said, nudging C.
” Thespians on skates! ”
” Named after Shakespearian characters! ”
” We’ll have a Juliet and a Romeo! ”
” It’ll defiantly bring the house down! ”
Mr. A jumped out of his nice, comfy, executive chair and threw off his jacket.
” It’ll bring so many girls we won’t know what to do with ourselves! ”
” Of course we must dress them up like those rock stars or whatever these girls like!”
” My, god, A! I think we have ourselves a musical! ”
Then Mr. C cleared his throat, opened his notebook, and without looking asked, ” What about the existing fan base?”
A and B looked at C and laughed at him, ” Who cares! Its all about the money! ”
And thus the Musical Air Gear was born.
