▼Comments for the performance
Detective Hama Mike: Ryuji Sato
I’m grateful to be able to say that it’s been a while. My name is Ryuji Sato. Private detective Mike Hama is back.
I myself loved this work and this stage very much, so I would like to thank everyone for their positive feedback.
I feel very honored to be able to perform the sequel.
With the addition of some familiar faces and powerful new members, I have a feeling it will be an even more wonderful performance. Please look forward to it.
The role of Sugimoto, the white man’s subordinate: Kohei Nagata
I’m really looking forward to working with the great cast, including the direction of Daisuke Nishida, who will be working with me for the first time. Then, after watching the original movie, I was looking forward to seeing this work adapted for the stage like the previous work, and at the same time, I also thought that it would definitely be a challenging work in my acting career. I will do my best to fully face the world of the work and Sugimoto and deliver this work to everyone. We look forward to seeing you at the theater.
Partner Hoshino: Masaki Yabe
Continuing from the previous work, I will be playing Hikaru Hoshino. My name is Masaki Yabe. The thought of being able to immerse myself in that hard-boiled world again fills me with joy. After all, Mike Hama is a cool guy that even men fall in love with! Hama-kun will be played again by Ryuji Sato, a cool guy that even men fall in love with, so I hope he can support him as Hoshino-kun. This time, it has been decided that the show will be performed in three cities, so I’m glad that more people will have the chance to see it. I will come with high spirits. We look forward to seeing you at the theater.
Mike’s younger sister, Akane Hama: Moeka Koizumi
Continuing from the previous work, I will be appearing as Akane Hama!
Last time, I stayed by my side through difficult and sad times, watching over my brothers from the same perspective as the customers.
I can’t wait to see everyone’s cool and playful faces again!
This time too, I would like to fulfill my role as a little sister who adores her brother! In addition to Tokyo and Osaka, we also have Aichi! I’ll be waiting for you at the theater!
Asa Akima/One Bairan role: Kanade Nanaki
I played the role of Wang Bairan in the previous work, and I never imagined that I would be able to see her again. This work will focus on the story of Mike Hama’s family, so I will be in the original position, but I will cherish this story in the beautiful space created by Mr. Nishida, and above all, let it live again. If I could, I would like to act while keeping in my heart the heartwarming and loving moments I spent with Tokuken. I’m also excited as I don’t know how Hyakuran will be able to live in this place again! We look forward to seeing you at the theater.
Kurodogkai/Yamaguchi role: Takuma Izawa
This is my first hard-boiled work, and it’s been a while since I played a member of the crew. This is the first time in three years that I have appeared in Nishida’s work, and the spectacular action scenes and beautiful production, including the costumes, left a very strong impression on me, so I am excited to see what kind of performance this time will bring. The Reiwa version of “Private Detective Hama Mike” with a gorgeous cast. Enjoy mystery, action, drama, and various perspectives!
Port Mary: Mashiro Yagi
This was a movie that my grandfather loved and watched often. I am very proud to be able to work with such great people on such a wonderful work. I’m still inexperienced, but I’ve learned a lot through this stage performance, and I hope to be able to deliver the best expression that I can to everyone. I’ll do my best! We are waiting for you at the theater!
Detective Nakayama: Takeshi Nadagi
Private Detective Mike Hama is a series I loved so much that I watched the entire drama series and movie trilogy. I was asked to do the stage version, and I’m still excited. I’ve worked with Ryuji Sato, who plays the lead role, in a movie before, so I’m excited to be working with him again for the first time in a while. Since this is the second stage version of the series, I would like to do my best so that people will say, “Takeshi Nadagi’s participation added a nice flavor.”
Please look forward to the stage play “Private Detective Mike Hama -Stairs of a Distant Era-”!
White man role: Ryuichi Oura
How can we jump into the world of original works, remakes, re-enactments, etc. with a spirit of respect? I always feel heartbroken. I would like to face this work with the wonderful people who will be working with me this time, and play the role of a white man with a completely blank mind. I’m looking forward to it!
Lily role: Kaname Ouki
This time, I will be playing the role of Mike Hama’s mother, Lily. In her appearance as a showgirl, she reunites with the child she abandoned when she was a child, but what kind of past does this parent and child have? I’m already excited to see their thoughts, their feuds, and how things will develop. I have worked with the director, Daisuke Nishita, several times, but since many of you are meeting for the first time, I am looking forward to seeing your reactions on stage.
