arkadymac.com was invited to cover Starmarie Live in Manila at Movie Stars Cafe last September 20, 2014. The Japanese fantasy idol group was here in the Philippines for a number of performances and they surely didn’t disappoint their very eager Filipino fans with their impressive new roster of five lovely and talented young ladies.
At about 9 in the evening, after Alodia’s Sisters Rae and Lou warmed up the crowd with their own energetic performances on stage with their renditions of anime and Japanese songs, the special guests made their appearance to the warm and loud welcome of the audience. Starmarie got to perform again in front of an ecstatic Filipino audience, and the idol group responded in kind with dazzling choreography and showmanship that demonstrated why they have a huge and loyal following in their native Japan and lots of fans all over the world. Even as they have had a roster change, now having five amazing members: Nozomi Kishita, Shino Takamori, Matsuzaki Hiroka, Nakane Motoko, and Watanabe Kaede, all were glowing and graceful in their white dance ensembles as they performed in front of the appreciative guests of Movie Stars Cafe.
The Japanese fantasy idol group gave a high-energy, non-stop riveting performance in front of an ecstatic crowd, with many Japanese fans among the international crowd also in attendance. Afterwards, Starmarie was gracious in mixing it up with the guests, having their photos taken with their fans, having selfies, and having chats with them as some have come a long way just to see them perform live. Indeed, Starmarie was a big hit that night, with Movie Stars Cafe filled to capacity.
Movie Stars Cafe was the perfect setting for this event as it had he makings of a great venue for concerts and functions. Everywhere you look you’ll feel like you’re in a Hollywood studio with lots of statues and memorabilia lining the walls inside the cafe and attractions outside as well. The stage is very visible from anywhere and they had lighting and effects that make the performances all the more astounding.
They have performances all throughout the night, even on regular days. Their shows are well-choreographed and thought-out, with production numbers that are sure to be enjoyed by people of all ages. That night we were treated to their production of the well-loved classic, Beauty and the Beast, performed by some pf their really great actors and actresses.
Movie Stars Cafe has no waiters and waitresses: rather it has actors and actresses in wonderful attire and costumes, and they are all set and ready to serve guests. They are courteous and thoughtful and we were were treated to great service. Their food is also top notch from their skill and masterful chefs working dutifully from their open and very visible kitchen, assuring that your food is served properly and is of the best quality. They have a wide array of international dishes cooked in excellency by their hand-picked master chefs using only selected materials. Their menu has been shown in or inspired by Hollywood blockbuster movies. One can also partake of an amazing buffet showcasing a smorgasbord of treats at the kitchen front adorned with a life-sized T-rex called the “Dino-Buffet.” We got to test it out and with the many selections offered, it’s decidedly one of the best. We would like to thank Movie Stars Cafe for having us over and letting us take part in this wonderful event and being able to experience their warm hospitality.
We would also like to thank Cosplay Network Philippines for inviting us to take part and cover this event.
