The plot is simple enough. Take an episode of Iron Chef, add more singing!
I have already posted this on my LJ community, but seeing as it's... not as general as some others, and therefore not advertised, I thought I'd post it here.
I need a lot of help with the basics... This is, who the Iron Chef and the theme ingredient is, for a start. I'm tossing up between Ohta and Kandagawa as challengers, but I thought I might throw Etsuo Joh into that mix as well... So please, help me out!
I have a list of vocal ranges etc., and will be posting 'audition' information and so on later on. {This means what abilities I'm looking for. For example, the character of Kaga will have to be a very good singer, the Iron Chef would not have to be the BEST singer, but would have to dance very well and so on.}
~~~The Summary Of Sorts~~~
Introduction - The heat will be on!
This will be Fukui's big solo, and the opening of the show. You know how it goes.
A Challenger Approaches
"If memory serves me right... today's challenger, [ insert name here ] is a master of [ insert inane ingredient or some exotic cuisine, like jelly or English breakfasts ]." Kaga will then elaborate on this amazing chef's mad skillz and show off their restaurant and so on. The challenger will then do a little bit of "there's no way I can lose, lol".
Chomp.
You know what I mean.
Enter the Challenger
Self-explanatory. The challenger enters Kitchen Stadium, shakes Kaga's hand, chats for a little bit... And then Kaga summons the Iron Chefs. Dry ice, glitz, choirs and dramatics all around. You know the drill.
Today's secret ingredient is...
Kaga announces the ingredient. Suspense and dry ice. We're going to need a lot of dry ice.
The ____ song
I am sure that you are at least vaguely familiar with the little ingredient introductions Kaga used to present before a battle. When working with liver, use heavy makeup, when working with chicken, the breast is for a lady and the legs for a man? Well, for whatever we decide the ingredient shall be, we need a short song about it. Maybe it should be some kind of fruit. Maybe blood plums. Nah. Something way weirder than that. Jackfruit? Okra? Habenero chillies/peppers? Suggestions please.
Bang a gong, we are on
This will probably be the only non-original song in the show. Get It On (Bang A Gong) by T.Rex, as you may have already figured from the title, is perfect for this. I just need to... jazz it up.
A mad dash to the ingredient stand, and now it's time for a dance routine... of sorts. I can choreograph this, don't worry. ;D
Don't Panic
Oh no! Things burning, assistants not knowing the difference between chopped truffle and the scraped-off burnt bits, thrills, spills, flamola and/or flammable action. We are also going to need pyrotechnics. This will probably be more dance than song.
30 minutes have elapsed
Switch it to overdrive. More drama. Figure out later. Halp.
The battle is OVA!
Making things at the last minute, putting finishing touches on dishes, getting out the exotically flavoured and rather unsavoury ice cream, Fukui commenting at a thousand miles an hour etc.
So, how was that hour?
The challenger and the Iron Chef both have a short duet with Ohta. This will be fun.
The Dishes
Fukui's other big song. Describing - in poetic detail - the dishes which he hasn't actually tasted yet.
The Moment of Truth - Tasting and Judgement
The challenger sings a proud song about his dishes, while the tasters add their thoughts over the top and in proper Iron Chef style. There will be much pausing and "ooo"ing and "aah"ing and "this is... good?"ing.
The Doomstaste Device
Asako Kishi slams a dish. But whose? Will it change the final verdict? Will anyone be able to understand her operatic soprano?
Who takes it? Whose cuisine reigns supreme?
"And now, the verdict."
Kaga's dramatic conclusion, with Fukui stating the obvious in the background. The Iron Chef will have to win, of course. Aaand I can figure out what happens next later.
It's very vague at this stage, so go wild with suggestions. Please?
