Yuzu / Translation) On the 17th, the tokyo Japan Youth Museum held a press conference for the opera "The Pandemonium Rock Show" starring Yuma Nakayama (27 years old) and a rehearsal performance of the play.
It is a rock opera set in the World of Showa music in the 1960s when the Beatles entered Japan, and the protagonist (played by Nakayama), who is obsessed with rock, is guided by friendship and love and has survived turbulent times.
Nakayama said, "This day has finally arrived. I really can't wait to show you this character. I know that people in the Showa era are nostalgic for the past, and whether our generation also has a time with this charm, and maybe there will be new discoveries in the continuation. It is precisely because of this era that I hope that everyone can forget all their troubles and enjoy them when watching. Reika Sakurai, the actress of the actress, also said: "This is a very attractive work, the plot unfolds very interestingly, and the music tracks interspersed in it are also very good!" There are so many points to appreciate, resulting in a bit of not knowing where to start. “
The stage play was composed by Yuki Mori, directed by Masahiko Kawahara, and produced by Seiji Kameda. Mori said: "In the United States, there are many musicals based on musical historical facts. In Japan, too, this is my fifth original play, which focuses on the musical dreams of rock-obsessed teenage girls in the process of accelerating the development of Japanese music. ”
In addition, Akiko Mizuta (30), Tamashi (33) and Hama Chinese (33) will also be present. Performances in Tokyo will run until October 3, while in Osaka there will be performances from October 8 to October 11 at The Palace of Mori in Osaka.
