Asyurajyou-no-Hitomi


Rie, Somegro Kanako Posted by Hello

When I saw it first, it’s not a movie but stage version. My friend who really like to see plays lent its DVD (stage version) to me. The stage-version Asyurajyou got beyond my definition of plays. The fast-moving story, lots of actions and seasoned actions of seasoned actors are a new experience. Especially, casting was great. The leading actor is Somegoro Ichilawa, Kabuki actor, and Yuki Amami, Top-name star of Takarazuka Revue Company and Mari Natsuki played an important role. According to my friend, this stage was absorbed features of Kabuki, Japanese traditional performing art. So I could see Somegoro’s Kabuki in the stage.

At the new movie, Rie Miyazawa, representative actress of Japan, plays the role in Yuki stead. I think Yuki is more perfect for the job than Rie, but if I see the movie-version, I may feel she is good for the role.
