The DVD & Blu-ray of the stage play “Matsuri GALA”, starring and directed by Snow Man’s Teru Iwamoto, Tatsuya Fukasawa, and Ryota Miyadate, and held at the Shinbashi Enbujo in Tokyo in April 2024, will be released on December 11th ( It has been decided that it will be released on Wednesday.
“Matsuri GALA” is a new stage play created by three people from Snow Man, who has served as the chairman of “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO”, which has become a spring tradition at Shinbashi Enbujo. A fusion of Japanese and Western styles, this is a new form of entertainment that is worth every penny, showcasing its individuality and physicality.
The initials of the three people’s names, “hi” for Teru, “ri” for Ryota, and “ta” for Tatsuya, are incorporated into part of the characters in the performance name logo “Matsuri”. This title is handwritten by Junko Koshino, and it embodies the special collaboration of this performance.
He shows off intense performances throughout the film, including his fighting moves and Sanbaso, which make use of his high physical ability. Iwamoto performed the “henmen” technique that he also showed in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO,” where the masks change one after another. Fukasawa’s monologue filled the venue with a peaceful atmosphere. Miyadate demonstrated flying using a pole. They also performed solo songs. This work allows you to fully enjoy the individuality and charm of the three characters.
