■The first real-time distribution of a “growth-type work” that changes little by little with each episode has been decided.

The virtual stage play “Otogibanashi” is a science fiction juvenile story whose original idea and producer is KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s general producer, PIEDPIPER.

On Friday, October 4, 2024, the first performance of the virtual stage play “Otogibanashi (Some) ver1.11_launch Feat. KAMITSUBAKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA” will be held. Virtual singers Kafu, Rime, Harusarubi, Isekai Jodo, Yukii, and voice actor Yuki Kaji served as the main characters, and the play was performed in a virtual space.

For this performance, to commemorate the opening of Chiakiraku’s triumphant return to Tokyo, real-time streaming for this work will be released for the first time.

This work is not a one-time performance, but is a growing work that will be performed multiple times at various venues, and the content will be updated little by little each time. Due to the nature of the work, no distribution tickets have been sold so far, and the performance has been limited to theaters.

This is a special distribution in order to deliver the theatrical expression of “Otogibanashi (Some)”, which has been updated through performances at multiple venues, to as many people as possible, so those who have seen past performances will also be able to watch it from now on. Even those who are experiencing it for the first time, please enjoy the world of this work.

■Challenge to virtual stage plays that expand the possibilities of virtual artists

In “Otogibanashi,” virtual artists Hanafu, Rime, Harusaruga, Isekai Jodo, and Koei take on the challenge of acting in a virtual space as “actors.” We will incorporate multi-layered expressions in which virtual artists, who have their own “character characteristics”, play a completely different existence, and will embody the further possibilities of virtual artists.

In addition, a gorgeous voice actor team including Yuki Kaji, who plays the role of the main character Shin Makimura/Makoto Makimura, Akira Ishida, and Takahiro Sakurai. With talented voice actors, the story is enriched with depth and realistic acting.

KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO has been training artists, developing original stories, and researching and developing future XR experiences and the metaverse. Our studio’s new storytelling experience, “Virtual Stage Play,” allows audiences to visually experience a world that combines virtual and real. The mysterious immersive feeling, which is different from a normal live performance, gives the story and actors a vivid presence, and invites you to a new world that goes beyond the framework of the theater and is different from ordinary theater.

In addition, the “Otogibanashi” project is a joint production between KDDI and THINKR, with the aim of embodying a new form of performing arts expression using cutting-edge technology. The virtual stage play is realized using the performance of virtual artists using motion capture and the latest “virtual set” technology. Both companies plan to conduct research and development of new expressions using AI and XR technology as part of their future “Otogibanashi” project.

The official lottery advance lottery for tickets to the virtual stage play “Otakubanashi (Some) ver1.35_Alternative Feat. KAMITSUBAKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA” is being accepted until 23:59 on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Please look forward to the new theatrical experience brought to you by KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO.
