Quiet and wears glasses. Contrary to his appearance, his grades are below average. Machida-kun is an analog human and is clumsy… but his athletic nerves are as good as his appearance. This is a new kind of human drama in which Machida-kun changes everyone around him and is loved by everyone. We embody the world that Machida-kun sees, share the feelings of Machida-kun and the people around him, and express that “the world is beautiful.” That is the aim of this musical.
Mr. Wally Kinoshita is in charge of the production. In 1993, he formed Gekidan☆Sekai Ichidan (currently known as Sunday). With his productions that combine digital technology and analog theatrical techniques, he has worked on a wide range of genres, including the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Opening Ceremony, the musical “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, and the play “Haikyu!!”. The music is by Shunsuke Wada, who has worked on the stage play “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Sonoji Yukaku Infiltration” and other works, and the screenplay was written by Pink Jijinjin 3, an up-and-coming playwright who has won numerous drama awards including “Kasashi 1832.” will be in charge.
In addition to Kawasaki, the cast also includes Itsuki Nagasawa, who will play the role of the heroine, Nana Inohara. Yuki Kamisato will play Yuki Himuro, who becomes Machida-kun’s friend. In addition, fresh young talents such as Ruki Saito and Karin Isobe have gathered together. The cast includes Wataru Kozuki, former top star of the Takarazuka Revue Star Troupe, Keigo Yoshino, who has a unique presence centered around musicals, and others who are active in various fields.

When I read this work for the first time, I felt that it was a wonderful work that truly warmed my heart.
The main character, Machida-kun, is a wonderful young man who has more kindness than anyone else, and also has a cute side. I will play Machida-kun with all my heart and soul, so I hope you will look forward to it.

It’s my first musical and I’m really excited!
I would like to express Nana Ihara to the best of my ability through singing, dancing, and acting.
And I will do my best to convey the delicate movements of the heart carefully and using my entire body!
■Direction: Wally Kinoshita comment
This work seems to depict nothing but reality, and it also seems to be a complete fantasy. Still, I think it depicts an unmistakable picture of “Japan today,” and I thought it was a manga that served as an oxygen tank for escaping the “suffocation” of this society. I’m excited to turn this into a musical because I feel it’s something new.
