With the advent of the Internet in the past, we have seen the emergence of omoroi (interesting) content that is different from that on television. The theater company led by Eito Ohkita, who continues to create such interesting content, is calledTomorrow's ar". It is a name of a theater company that leaves a strong and lingering impression.
The talent seemed to praise the fun of the performance. Seiko Ito tweeted the following in response to the previous performance.
"Ar of Tomorrow" 3rd performance inVACANT, was a series of interesting contrasts. The non-actors and the actors competed with each other for taste & rough direction. As expected, there were many people with a keen sense of smell who came to see this and that. It reminded me a bit of our own radical days, partly because it was held in Harajuku." (From Seiko Ito's Twitter)
The fourth edition, which will be held at "VACANT" in Harajuku until November 25 (Sun.), will feature City Boys' Kitaro as a guest, who will give us a sightseeing tour of a silly scene with the theme of "scenery and nonsense" as a contrast. Mr. Yoshida of Triple Fire, who appeared in the last show and was well received for his performance, will be there, and Left and Right will accompany the play with their band.

If the following long sentence by Mr. Ohkita rings even a little bells, please come and witness the play. There will be tickets available on the day of the performance.
I was thinking of doing a present tense that says I think this kind of thing is silly now for this annual show. May I start with what I said last year? Well, I am a writer on the Internet, and nowadays the Internet is full of jokes, and in the age of SNS, everyone is saying interesting things. So I decided to make the little jokes that I write about on the Internet real, and I titled it "Omote-mesume of Japan," because that is the surface of Japan. I call the situation where an old man is saying something convenient "an old man's fantasy" or something like that. (The first time I saw "ossan no fantasy" was on SNS by sociologist Masahiko Kishi.) I was able to get a good response, and people wrote reviews saying that people 10 years from now would not understand it, or that it was a history of Japanese lower-case letters without capital letters (I don't know if this is a compliment, but it was a good context). I also won the Shitakomi Grand Prix at the Machimachi Comedy Film Festival for my short film. I was happy that Seiko-san came and tweeted about it, as you can see on the flyer, and I was very happy.
And then we decided to do it again this year, and I thought it was fine to just do the same thing as last year. But after last year's performance, "old men" became a real problem on social networking sites, and since I had already done what I was concerned about on the surface last year, I thought it would be a second go-round. So this year, I decided to go back to what I like. When I was thinking of all the things I liked, I thought of Tatsuya Nakasaki in the early 90s, and when I extracted the elements that I particularly liked, I found "scenery and nonsense". Originally, the second year of AR Tomorrow was "scum and emotion. I thought it would be interesting to combine nonsense and drama, and it overlaps with that. It's good when there's silliness involved with good scenery! It's really good. I wanted to strengthen that aspect and make people think, "Oh, that's what tomorrow's "A" will be like. ). But it's also like "A for Tomorrow" to talk about internet-like topics, to play with the structure of running two different logic lines, and to have the actors be surprised when a strong amateur says something strange.
Then there are the performers. Triple Fire Yoshida-kun said, "You've been on the NHK comedy show, and you can do comedy, right? So I asked him, "Let's do it again this year, too! But the number of customers would increase, and we were going to perform seven times over three consecutive weekends, so we were already at the limit of using people who were not professional actors. I thought it would be a little too much this time, and I felt lonely with fewer people, so I decided to add at least one more person. The most familiar "One! Two! Three! Three! The drummer, Mr. Zhang Jiang of the band "Rai Rai Rai Team," who is most comfortable with the count of "One! Yoshida-kun, who I thought might be busy with his increased exposure on "Tamori Club," came out to join us, and left and right came from Yokohama.
(*Addition on October 24: I was looking for Sumi, Tsuchiya, and the other older members of the group, even though they are almost the same. I was looking back at some of my favorite City Boys comedies, and I was impressed with Mr. Kitaro's work. We had a workshop to think about comedies, and we all watched his performance. He looked weak in a fight and vicious, but he had integrity and his eyes were not dead. We were talking about how there is no ideal comedian like him, and when we invited him, he agreed to come for a short time. I went back in time and reported to my high school student who was watching WOWOW in the Japanese-style room of my parents' house. Rattle rattle rattle, that guy's coming out! (Rattle rattle rattle, pish posh.)
The title is 'sightseeing. This time I thought "sightseeing" since you will be looking at scenery, and that is also "sightseeing" meaning surfing the net, so I thought it was just right. I also thought it would be nice to watch the light. I gave up in despair, and then the gospel came and contrasted! That would be great. I'm also worried that you won't be able to see the light at all, but that's what I want to do, and it's based on last year's show, which was well received, and I've already written about half of the script, so don't worry. I have already written about half of the script, so please feel free to come and see it. Last year, this year, and next year, we will be going to the main performance tomorrow, during the three-day weekend in November. Eito Ohkita (, leader of Tomorrow's AR )
It's the second day of a three-day weekend, but the last day is still open. Please come!
