So I'm in the middle of writing a history essay of sorts... going to be between 2 and 6 pages long. Not that long, so I figured Kabuki wouldn't be a too broad subject. I need to answer the question "What was the role of Kabuki in Japanese history?" Something like that anyway.
One of the subquestions is: How is Kabuki's influence the contemporary media?
I might make some mentions like anime, music and J-drama? Movies?
I'll give you the anime examples:
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto (Kakunojou's troupe, etc etc)
and also, Mononoke? I've always wondered whether MS's make up relates to Kabuki make up. The sound effects, the curtains, etc... what have you noticed? I should ask this in the community too I guess.
Is there any more anime like that?
Music:
Yoshida brothers
...??
Unfortunately I don't know anything about live action stuff..
Anyone have some input? :D

Pulled the threads together today, and managed to pull off writing and translating the fic at the same time. Yesterday was mostly finding some good names, for pretty much the entire reincarnated Mononoke cast. The first chapter is mostly Mononoke-prominent and a bit superficial too, I think. I'll try better later. Dutch version is here, in case you want to read/compare. ........I had much fun writing MS, I thought it would be difficult, but I enjoyed it a lot. (on that topic, I rewatched Bake Neko today *in awe again*)
Oh. If you spot silly errors or "this could have been said better", please tell me by all means. :D; Also, GH spoilers will be more obvious in the later chapters.
The genre is suspense/mystery/supernatural.. what could happen in both canons essentially.
Summary: Thrown into a sudden and unexpected clash, two sides unexpectedly gather. The SPR tries to solve the many mysteries in the surroundings of a certain vacation resort, together with... a medicine seller. [GH/Mononoke]
