What this is
A stage adaptation of Shin Adachi's coming-of-age novel, this production marks the stage debut and lead role of Katamari Mizukawa, known from the horror drama Kaiki Kaidan. Script and direction come from Maggie, with live music performed by HONEBONE throughout the show. The cast also includes Asuka Kawatoko, Renka Iwamoto of Nogizaka46, and Natsuki Kato.
Who should go
Fans of Nogizaka46 will want to catch Renka Iwamoto in a theatrical setting, and those who follow Katamari Mizukawa's screen work have a rare chance to see his stage debut. Japanese-language theatre-goers with an interest in coming-of-age stories will get the most from it.
Good to know
Tickets are likely available through eplus.jp or pia.jp; both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup (combini) avoids any delivery address complications for visitors. Tokyo Tatemono Pia Theater is a mid-sized dedicated theatre space in Tokyo suited to intimate stage productions — seating is typically assigned, so check your seat category when booking. Productions featuring Nogizaka46 members often sell out quickly due to fan club pre-sales, so book as early as possible once tickets go on general sale. Live music by HONEBONE is integrated into the performance, so expect a more atmospheric, scored experience than a standard straight play. Photography and video recording are almost certainly prohibited during the performance, as is standard for licensed theatrical productions in Japan.
