▼Tomomasa Teranaka’s full comment
We are the generation that is being singled out as if we are the cause of the declining birthrate problem.
A shape of “love” tied to the theme of “reproduction.”
I hope that this stage event will provide an opportunity for each person to reconsider their own values.
This is my first stage performance and my first leading role. With high expectations, I will do my best to make sure that my way of life is reflected in the role I am given.
