Blog#7: 2020 World(Momoko Watanabe)

Hello, this is Momoko Watanabe.  In this winter vacation, I went to Imperial Theater to watch a wonderful live performance, Johnnys' 2020 World.

Today, I'd like to introduce contents of the stage.  Members of three idol groups, Sexy Zone and ABC-Z  and Hey!Say!JUMP play main roles. Also, Many boys called Johnnys' Jr. appear on the stage.  This is a two-acts play.  Act 1 is divided 12 parts(months) and actors represent beautiful Japanese culture and history of tragedies which civilization brought by dance, song, acrobat and flying.  In January part,  a lot of boys play Japanese drums and samisens vigorously.  In February part, members of ABC-Z dance with huge Japanese sensus(扇子) and show acrobatic techniques.  In March part,  boys wear pink clothes which motif is Japanese kimono and represent a shower of falling cherry blossom petals.  In April part, they reproduce sinking Titanic which happened in April of 1912 singing "My Heart will Go On." In May part, they reproduce an explosion of an airship, Hindenburg which occurred in May of 1937.  In June and July parts,  they are in military uniforms and march in a quick way.  It represent war.  In August, September and October parts, imaging Tokyo Olympic of 2020, gorgeous show develop.  In November part, one of the member of Sexy Zone, Kento Nakajima acts 10 character of Shakespeare's works alone, for example, Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo, Claudia and Puck. He changes cloths in an instant and during playing a role of fairly Puck, he bungee-jumps right above a seats for the audiences.  In December part, they reproduce Macbeth's climax scene, a duel of Macbeth between Malcolm on the stage using water. They perform a splendid sword fight.  In Act 2, they go to space to find phantom 13 month.

 I was impressed by gorgeous set and direction.  Also, the best part of this stage is actor's performance.  Their act, song, and dance made me excited!  In particular, their flyings are very dynamic.  This live performance include 23 sorts of flying!  We can learn history and Shakespeare by this performance, so you will enjoy it too.  I guess this show will be held next year again, please go and see it yourself!
