On a slightly tiring weekday evening, find healing in the world of Miyazawa Kenji. A new performance has been announced for the Rabbit Note Project, a reading theater project launched by Frontier Works Inc.! The second installment of our popular weekday evening reading drama series, “Weeknight Storytime – Super-Translated Literature by Miyazawa Kenji,” will be presented in two performances. The series’ concept is “a time of relaxation for slightly tired weekday evenings.” This time, we offer you the opportunity to spend an evening in the fairy tale-like world of Miyazawa Kenji. The original works are “Kaze no Matasaburo,” “The Bear of Nametoko Mountain,” “The Restaurant of Many Orders,” and “Otsuberu and the Elephant.” “Otsuberu and the Elephant” incorporates elements of “Ame ni mo Makezu” to create a four-part story scenario. Please look forward to this
“super-translated” scenario, centered around dialogue! Starring popular voice actors Shouta Morikubo and Shouta Aoi. The world of Miyazawa Kenji, brought to life by these two actors who have often worked together, is a must-listen! Once again, some roles will be switched between the first and second performances of some plays. Please enjoy the differences that arise from the change in cast. The performance will be held at Animate Theater (Ikebukuro, Tokyo) on Thursday, October 23rd and Thursday, October 30th, 2025. Please stop by after work or school.

However, are there actually very few works whose plots you know? When you actually try to read them, you might find it difficult to fully understand them due to differences in style from modern language and differences in contemporary values. Therefore, this project will present a dramatic reading of famous literature with an original scenario that has been “super-translated” – modern interpretation, arranged for modern times, and translated into modern language. We offer a new way to enjoy famous literature in a format that is accessible to people living in the modern age! We hope that this super-translated work will serve as an opportunity for you to experience literary works. ■Official website/SNS Official website https://www.fwinc.co.jp/rabbit-note-project/ Official X @Rabbit_Note_P (https://twitter.com/Rabbit_Note_P) Recommended hashtags: #RNP #SuperTranslatedLiterature [Copyright notation] (C)Rabbit Note Project Copyright ©
