As part of “Minami Aoyama MANDALA Shuji Terayama Radio Drama Selection 4″, the entire cast of the 2022 performances, including band members, will gather again to take on the challenge of publicly recording. Although it is a radio drama recording, it incorporates plenty of elements from the 2022 stage play, including songs from the play, dance by Naoka Hihara, and the appearance of a giant mask. The guest live performance will be “Tenshi no Voice” led by a_kira. We will be playing songs from the play on the ceiling, as well as J.A. Caesar songs sung at concerts at the time. Among them, in addition to reproducing the legendary masterpiece sung only once by Keiko Niitaka in the 1970s, the performance will be performed live on a rotating basis. BAR time will continue for 60 minutes after the performance, so you can interact with the cast, enjoy the Inagami female collaboration cocktail “Red Moon”, and see the cast in costumes for the stage play “Masked Inugami”, which was specially filmed for this day. There will also be fun activities to enjoy the afterglow, such as bromide sales. “Inugami no Onna” synopsis “If you play with a possessed dog, the dog will possess you”…that old proverb was still alive.

Showa Seigo Office, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024, is a group of storytelling specialists that pursues auditory pleasure through voice and music. Shuji Terayama’s theater company, Theater Laboratory ◎ Inheriting the techniques of Seigo Showa, the legendary microphone agitator of the ceiling sashiki. Focusing on underground works such as Terayama and Rio Kishida, there are [poetry dramas] that use everything from whispers to screams to narrate through a microphone to vividly evoke the story, and [fantasy music dramas] that combine psychedelic images, explosive rock music, and actors. Both of his bipolar styles have been described as a “flood of language” and are addictive. In addition to theater performances, he is also active in a wide range of activities, including live performances and the release of audio and video works.

Please join us in experiencing the difference between “Inugami”, which is composed of Shuji Terayama’s poems, and “Inugami no Onna”, which is written in a relatively easy colloquial style, perhaps a characteristic of radio dramas. This is a live performance that can be enjoyed by both those who know “Inugami” and those who don’t, and is a public recording of a radio drama. This will be a meeting where you can be proud and say, “I was here that day,” so please come and have fun.
