Good work Joe. I always watching your videos.

I really like the song "welcome to Christmas"

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

For some reason, I thought they were going to do a stage version of Mickey's Christmas Carol. That would have been interesting, but what's more interesting is that the voice actress for Beth sounds a bit too much like Momoko from Powerpuff Girls Z. I wonder if that is the same actress or not.

I really like the song "welcome to Christmas"

I want the English Studio Cut on MP3 since I can't find a CD with it on their track list.

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

Thanks to Malin for putting up a link. And to the people commenting so far. In the first week of the Christmas season at TDS, this has become the show to watch. In terms of numbers, it is obviously less than "Big Band Beat Christmas" or "Candlelight Reflections" but the number of people waiting from park opening until sundown for the first performance is a telling sign of its popularity.

The story of this show is pretty self-explanatory right folks? I was thinking of adding subtitles but that would mean another week (or two) before I can have the video online. I'll be adding a summary of the plot within the captions of the photo set I upload in a few days. Also, I'll update the site with a Christmas video or photos every day for the next week or so. There is still a lot to come:

Tokyo DisneySea
- Park Decorations & Event Merchandise/Menu
- Duffy and Santa Photo Spot
- Over the Waves Christmas
- Big Band Beat Christmas (Music with decoration photos)
- Candlelight Reflections
- Meet and Smile (Christmas)

Tokyo Disneyland
- Park Decorations & Event Merchandise/Menu
- Disney's Christmas Dreams on Parade
- Lilo & Stitch's Aloha Christmas
- it's a small world very merry holiday
- Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare
- Country Bears Christmas Jamboree
- Super Duper Jumpin' Time (Christmas)
- Twinkle Holiday Moment
- Christmas Magic in the Sky

Would you mind doing Cristmas Dreams On Parade next?

Hi jrh, thanks for the quick reply. Well, I have "Over the Waves" setup and ready to go from Monday night (Japan time). Actually, the video is already available on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvl2EGBQv0w).

As for "Disney's Christmas Dreams on Parade", I'll should have it ready by Tuesday night (Japan time) or early morning (Disneyland time). :-) Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the coverage so far! I always look forward to the yearly Christmas updates.

Most of their stage shows are, which I absolutely love. I did an experiment and watched some of Domestic Disney's stage shows without the audio. Didn't get the same thing out of it. You watch a TDR show without the audio, and chances are really good you'll find the story in it if there is one.

I think this show is a perfect example that while we all love the big budget productions like Legend of Mythica, not everything the Resort does needs to have a big budget to be a hit. Creativity goes along way here and this show does a great job.

I have to say I'm really enjoying the coverage so far and I'm really starting to consider coughing up the cash to do an additional visit next year to enjoy the Christmas event.

By the way just checked out video of Over the Waves.

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

I saw all of the parades and shows last week, but always look forward to your photos and updates on your site jtcent.

Like what has been said before, you can really follow the shows even if you don't speak Japanese, which I don't, but usually have no problem following along.

Video is up of the Christmas Dreams on Parade

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

Cute parade, and the new floats the mice get caught me by surprise as well.

Can anyone tell me what that fuzzy-looking creature was on the back of Santa Mickey's float was? It went by too fast for me to get a good look at it.

[almandot]

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

It's a snowman wearing a scarf hat sort of thing

[almandot]

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

Okay two things.. So I've got to wonder why Brer Bear got kicked out of the christmas parade so that it's brer fox in the fishin boat and only brer rabbit up above heh. It's been a few videos now so I'm assuming it wasn't a 1 day thing.

The other.. weiiiird on the lilo stitch aloha christmas video the music goes to the beginning of the loop and then jumps back to the beginning of the loop again after a verse.. such a weird an unnecessary edit heh.

Is that right? I am hoping it is not my edit of the video that caused you to think this. I really wasn't thinking much about the music flow when I put those two clips together. Although the music is quite short and very repetitive, I like the Hawaiian arrangement.

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

nah it's not your conjoinment of the 2 clips heh. i just mean they made an edit to repeat the first lines again. The real song goes

"mele kelikimaka is the thing to say on a bright hawaiian christmas day. mele kelikimaka is hawaii's way to say merry christmas to you! Lilo: Mele Kelikimaka! Stitch: Cowabunga!"

and now it goes "mele kelikimaka is the thing to say on a bright hawaiian christmas day. mele kelikimaka is hawaii's way to say merry christmas to you! mele kelikimaka is the thing to say on a bright hawaiian christmas day. mele kelikimaka is hawaii's way to say merry christmas to you! Lilo: Mele Kelikimaka! Stitch: Cowabunga!"

and there's like... no reason for it so i find it funny

[JoeInJpn]

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

Hehehe, now that you put it that way. It does sound funny. It's still a cute song, though.

Re: JTCENT coverage of Christmas Event

I think they did it to give the floats more time to move between "stops." Otherwise the loop would've been too short. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.
