00:00A few days later
00:01The day of the audition
00:04The day of the audition
00:07I hated writing that I'm an actor
00:12I'm very busy
00:14Have you ever wanted to quit?
00:16I have, many times
00:17I don't think money is everything
00:19I don't think money is everything
00:22If I'm going to fail, I think that's my limit
00:27It's a miracle that I didn't fail
00:30The day of the audition
00:37Shioya Town, Tochigi Prefecture
00:40A peaceful and quiet town
00:43It's a town with a population of less than 10,000
00:49But there are people who have spent 30 years
00:52living their lives in entertainment
00:57Funyu Kabukimura
01:00At first glance, it looks like a normal house
01:05But inside, it's a theater
01:09The outside scenery is the opposite
01:12A flashy stage
01:17The one standing on the stage is the theater troupe, Akatsuki
01:23Most of the audience are the elderly
01:27One of the attractions is the popular play
01:32Hey, what are you doing?
01:34Wait a minute!
01:36Hurry up!
01:38Hurry up!
01:40Hurry up!
01:42Hurry up!
01:44Hurry up!
01:46Hurry up!
01:48Hurry up!
01:50I think you should quit boxing
01:52I learned it from my parents
01:55The stage is about two and a half hours
01:58Thank you for today's performance
02:01The food and drinks are separate
02:04The price is 2,000 yen
02:06He's a professional
02:08He's a professional
02:10He's beautiful
02:12He's beautiful
02:14I think he's very good
02:16He's very beautiful
02:19He's very beautiful
02:21Thank you
02:23I think it's precious
02:25I don't want to lose this place
02:29After the show, it's time to eat
02:35Everyone, come and eat!
02:37Call everyone!
02:40Most of the actors live here
02:42They eat the same kind of food
02:46In fact, 10 out of 12 actors are related to the play
02:52Natsuki and Haruki, who were disciples of the first chief
02:56about 30 years ago
02:58and their children
03:01All of them have been on stage since they were young
03:04As soon as they graduated from junior high school, they became actors
03:09Akito, the young chief who is in charge of the stage
03:13He was born on the stage
03:15He has lived on this road
03:19We don't know anything but this
03:22We've said it
03:26I don't like this world
03:28Even if we say we're going somewhere
03:30We don't have a plan
03:34We don't have a plan
03:36Why?
03:39However, Kabukimura, which can be said to be their home
03:44is now in great danger
03:49The buildings that have been used for many years are aging
03:53In addition, the number of spectators has declined since the pandemic
03:57The loan from the bank has increased by tens of millions of yen
04:03Haruki was entrusted with the reconstruction
04:08He felt a deep gratitude for Tetsuya, the first chief
04:13He is like a child of Kabukimura
04:16He is like a family business
04:18I felt like I was helping a family business
04:26Natsuki and Haruki were born in Fukuoka
04:29Haruki grew up in a poor family
04:33and ate instant noodles every day
04:39Tetsuya, the first chief who put them in the troupe
04:43became a father and graduated from junior high school
04:50Haruki was most happy about his daily meals
04:55The troupe members were eating very luxurious food
05:01I thought it was amazing
05:03That's probably why I wanted to join the troupe
05:08Since then, the two brothers have been improving their performance
05:14I've never skipped a stage
05:18I've never skipped a stage
05:21Why don't you come out?
05:23The reconstruction of Kabukimura is in the middle of the road
05:27Most of the year, the troupe members support their lives
05:31They earn money by working in order
05:41In most cases, the dressing room is the living space for the troupe members
05:50Mr. Akito takes his wife and daughter to the dressing room
05:55and surrounds the table with the troupe members
06:09Mr. Akito set a big goal during his time in Tokyo
06:16We all want to be the best in Japan
06:22I felt like I could reach the top
06:30He wanted to be the best in Japan and bring a new wind to the world of popular theater
06:37However, something happened in Akashi, Hyogo
06:56Mr. Akito challenged himself to a big performance on the first day of the performance
07:03He set a new record a year ago
07:08He had high expectations
07:14If the performance in the beginning is exciting, the beginning of the performance is smooth
07:25The reaction is not good
07:28However, there were empty seats in the back of the theater
07:44There were about 200 seats
07:48More than half of the seats were empty
07:57After that, the audience continued to fly low
08:07Mr. Akito checked the reservation form
08:17There are 45 seats
08:20It's amazing
08:22Did you fill in all the seats last year?
08:24Yes, I did
08:27I didn't fill in all the seats
08:31I didn't fill in all the seats
08:34But last year, there were a lot of seats
08:38I didn't know if I could perform well
08:43I didn't know
08:46It's a long-distance dream to be the best in Japan
08:55Do you think it's going well?
08:58I think so
09:01I've been keeping a good record since last year
09:09I think I've been accumulating a lot
09:13I think my salary has increased by 500 yen compared to last year
09:17It's easy to make excuses
09:20But I don't want to blame it
09:24If I can't perform well, that's my limit
09:31I hope I can get back on my feet
09:37At this time, the world was full of the Paralympics
09:43It was inevitable that there were no people in the city
09:54Mr. Daiki, the vice president, felt the harshness of the world of gays
10:08One day in the dressing room
10:11Thank you for your hard work
10:13Thank you for your hard work
10:15I'm very busy
10:17You're wearing a lot of clothes
10:21That's right
10:23It's good when I have time on stage
10:28But I don't have a wife now
10:32I have to do everything myself
10:36When I get married, my wife will come with me
10:39When I have children, they will come with me
10:44I think it's normal
10:47I don't want to do that
10:51I want my children to grow up in a calm place
10:58I'm single
11:00I'm lonely
11:03The meal on this day was also soba from a convenience store
11:12Mr. Daiki was from a family with few members of the troupe Akatsuki
11:20He didn't come to this world because he admired it
11:24Mr. Daiki, the vice president, felt the harshness of the world of gays
11:29When I was in the first year of junior high school, I watched Akatsuki for the first time
11:35I felt a strange feeling on the stage
11:40I was wondering what they were showing to women
11:46I was wondering what they were showing to women
11:52My grandparents, my teacher, and my wife talked to each other
12:00It was almost decided that I would join the troupe
12:04They told me to join the troupe to get my guts back
12:08They told me that I don't have to study if I stay in the troupe
12:13I said, if I don't have to study, I don't have to
12:18It's been 21 years
12:22The reason why he is single now is that he doesn't want to involve his family in his life
12:30Do you have a goal in your life now?
12:34Yes, I have
12:36I want to quit when I'm 30
12:38I want to make a decision in my life
12:42At that time, I had a child
12:45I wanted to work in a normal family and live a normal life
12:51I wanted to be a vice president and do my best
12:55That was the first time I made a decision
13:00Daiki was also interested in the guests of Akashi Park
13:06See you tomorrow
13:12Various plans were launched for the opening of the park
13:17Daiki's birthday party was about to start tomorrow
13:27At that night, he went to the bar with the guests who arrived a little earlier
13:35You drank a lot
13:37You did a good job
13:39It was fun
13:41It was youth
13:46It was youth
13:51They have been friends since they were young
14:04Tatsuya Mashiro is the leader of the troupe
14:09It's been a long time
14:13The troupe is 70 years older than Akatsuki
14:21Mashiro is also from a normal family
14:28When we met, we were still single
14:31Tatsun and Akito were already married
14:33Akito and I got married soon after
14:37Tatsun is doing his best, so I will do my best
14:43The role is still the same
14:47It's our responsibility
14:51We have a lot to think about
14:55I want to pursue the depth of acting
15:02The role is still the same
15:08I don't feel anything
15:13His wife and daughter came to celebrate his father's birthday
15:20You have a family
15:23Do you have to take care of them?
15:25I have to protect my family
15:34The next day
15:38Mashiro's friends came to see him
15:4190% of the seats were filled
15:49His wife and daughter were happy
15:55Please cheer for the triple
16:03After the performance, the troupe finished their training
16:15It was a dream come true
16:17No matter what I say, the result is the same
16:20I'm glad
16:23It's all thanks to you
16:26You brought me here
16:29I'm very happy
16:31I'm glad
16:37To be the best in Japan
16:40The actors around him want to be the best
16:45Let's go
16:48Akito's disciple was the best
16:55He had a long day
16:59He was in Kawasaki
17:05Akatsuki joined the troupe in 2023
17:09He dropped out of high school
17:12He is 17 years old
17:15He also joined the world of Taishu Engeki
17:22Have you ever talked about Taishu Engeki?
17:26No
17:28I don't know Taishu Engeki
17:34I don't even know Kabuki
17:38He is a lazy person
17:41He loved to play Chambara
17:47Akito fell in love with Taishu Engeki
17:52At the Akatsuki theater
17:57I thought it was fun
18:01The teacher was dancing
18:05I thought it was fun
18:10It was a great pain
18:13If it wasn't for Akatsuki, I would have been a high school student
18:20He was 17 years old
18:24He got a small role in Kabukimura
18:28He experienced the harshness of this world
18:35The play is about Maria Kannon
18:39Why did you bring that?
18:43I couldn't steal it
18:47I couldn't steal it
18:49So why did you bring it?
18:53It's not an answer to the question
18:56He can't give anything back to Daiki's ad-lib
19:01I'm sorry
19:04It's not an answer to the question
19:08I'm sorry
19:11I can't do it anymore
19:13I can't do it anymore
19:17I made a mistake
19:21I wasn't ready for Maria Kannon
19:26I was able to give it back recently
19:31I was like this when I first started
19:37It's hard
19:39Did you feel down?
19:41No, I really didn't want to do it
19:46Maria Kannon
19:49Fuma-san was in a bad mood
19:52His seniors gave him a hard time
19:57I was just lecturing
20:00I felt it when I was in the classroom
20:03I felt it when I was in the classroom
20:04I felt it when I was in the classroom
20:08I can't do it anymore
20:10I can't do it anymore
20:13I don't want to be a bad person
20:15I want to quit
20:19I'm going to be promoted
20:25They were born here
20:27and they have the strength to stand on the stage for years
20:32I'm going to dye my car.
20:34Daiki knew how painful it was, so he was strict with Fuma.
20:43I think it would be better to study a little more.
20:47It's been a little over a year, so I'd like to go on stage as soon as I can.
20:54Fuma is one of the most natural children, so it's a pity that Fuma's position stands out.
21:11But I think Fuma is a child who can do his best.
21:18Now Fuma is studying while looking at his senior's back.
21:32He is also good at entering the dressing room so as not to wake up his sleeping senior.
21:39Is this your bed?
21:45This is my senior's bed.
21:48I think everything is a tough world.
21:56You've been sleeping for a year.
22:00It's almost a miracle.
22:03He has little time to himself.
22:07He is jogging at night.
22:11I'm trying to do my best because it's a business that looks good.
22:18But it's not always possible to be like Akito, who has a disciple.
22:24His mother was worried about what he would do when he felt his limits.
22:32What would you do if you came back?
22:36Are you going to work part-time all the time?
22:40That's what I thought, so I went to school and did what I liked.
22:48I don't think money is everything.
22:56I don't have to have money to go to school.
23:06I think I need some money.
23:10I want to be rich.
23:16I want to be rich.
23:21It's hot!
23:25Can he really continue like this?
23:31I'm going to be exposed!
23:33While he was working at a hot spring facility in Ibaraki Prefecture,
23:38he said this in front of Fuma.
23:42I'm Akito Misaki.
23:46I'm going to do my best as a young actor.
23:51Akito is not in other plays, so it's Fuma's turn.
23:59It's his first time playing in Maria Cannon.
24:05How are you?
24:08I'm not in a good mood.
24:11What do you mean?
24:13I'm in a good mood.
24:16I'm very nervous.
24:19Thank you very much.
24:22I'll do my best.
24:24I'll do my best.
24:27Haruki is practicing by himself.
24:32I'm afraid of Japanese magazines.
24:36I'm afraid of Japanese magazines.
24:41I'm afraid of Japanese magazines.
24:44Who are you?
24:46Who are you?
24:49Who are you?
24:52I don't know.
24:54You should speak when the other person speaks.
24:58You should speak when the other person speaks.
24:59You should speak when the other person speaks.
25:02You don't have to.
25:04Daiki is not good at expressing his feelings.
25:09You can see it, right?
25:12Is this the Maria Cannon statue?
25:22It's very popular.
25:25It's his first time playing in a play.
25:36Can you do it?
25:41I'll do my best.
25:44The day of the play.
25:50His mother is in the audience.
25:55It's okay.
25:57Let me through.
25:58Wait.
25:59Don't apologize.
26:00Not yet.
26:03Is he really going to play in the play?
26:12The day of the play.
26:18Let me through.
26:22The play is about to start.
26:27When I told my mother that I live with two people,
26:30she said she felt sorry for me and gave me this.
26:34It was going well in the beginning,
26:37but it's an important scene.
26:42It's okay.
26:43Let me through.
26:44Wait.
26:45Don't apologize.
26:46Not yet.
26:49Is he really going to play in the play?
26:54Let me through.
26:56He's so nervous that he makes a mistake.
27:03His mother is watching him in the audience.
27:09It's the climax.
27:15This is the Cannon of St. Mary!
27:31The play is over.
27:43His mother has a memento.
27:48What did she think of the play?
27:53Before the crying scene,
27:56I cried when I heard the name of my mother.
28:01I was the only one who was emotional.
28:05I'm glad that I was able to send him to school
28:11so that his parents wouldn't destroy his dream.
28:23The training has just begun.
28:27His dream is to become a famous actor.
28:34The charm of theater is the ability to combine.
28:40It's not about popularity.
28:43It's about the power to unite people.
28:50It's a theater where you can't lose.
28:53It's a place where you can't lose.
28:57It's a place where you have power.
29:01Because it's a place where you have power,
29:04Haruki wants to protect their home, Funyu Kabukimura.
29:10The renovation continues to stop the audience.
29:17You can go to the first floor.
29:22I haven't touched the computer yet.
29:25If you touch the computer, no one will be able to do it.
29:29The wall used to be a windbreak,
29:32but now it's a playwood.
29:34He prints out the script and puts it on the wall.
29:41He also replaced the tatami mats that he had been using for 15 years.
29:49He also renewed the homepage.
29:51He somehow managed to get the money he asked the company for.
29:56It's easier to understand than before.
30:01Drinks for young people are also added to the menu.
30:06This is delicious.
30:08This is really good.
30:10The shooting of the menu was done by themselves to reduce costs.
30:16It looks good.
30:18It's good.
30:19It's really good.
30:22It looks delicious.
30:25It looks good.
30:29He also puts on make-up for the actors.
30:40I don't think I've ever put on make-up before.
30:44This is the original color.
30:48Mr. Haruki is the one who promotes reform.
30:51It's because he has had a bitter experience
30:55with the image that the world has of popular theater.
31:02I hated it.
31:04When I was writing documents,
31:07I hated writing that I was a professional actor.
31:11Why?
31:17I have a strong image that people look at me differently.
31:22It was the same when I got married.
31:26I was told,
31:30I was told,
31:33I was told,
31:38I was told,
31:44I was told,
31:50I was told,
31:58I was told,
32:06Aira-san is the first female actress to play the role of Hanagata in Gekidan Akatsuki.
32:14Her attitude to take on any role has captured the hearts of her fans.
32:21Aira-san is the first female actress to play the role of Hanagata in Gekidan Akatsuki.
32:27Up until now, I thought she was cute, beautiful, and talented.
32:32But now, I think she can be cool and pretty, even if she's a girl.
32:37I thought, wow, she's really become Hanagata.
32:44Aira-san has been on stage since she was 3 years old.
32:48She has overcome many obstacles.
32:55Every time her schedule changes, she has to change schools.
33:00It's been a while since she's been on stage.
33:05Even if I go, I have to come back right away.
33:09I don't know what I'm saying the next day.
33:12At that time, it was stressful not to be able to go to school.
33:16It was painful.
33:21Being at school was a barrier.
33:24It was like an awakening.
33:29In addition, the world of popular theater is difficult for women to live in.
33:36In a man's society, you are often told to be depressed.
33:41You have a brother, so leave it to him.
33:48It's difficult.
33:50Women are not like that.
33:54I have no choice but to do it.
33:59Aira-san was about to take a new path.
34:07I'm so hungry.
34:09What should I do?
34:11I have to go to school by 15 minutes.
34:14Good morning.
34:25She jumped out of the frame of popular theater and challenged the leading role of a big stage.
34:37Asakusa
34:393, 2, 1
34:43Tonight, Akatsuki is in Asakusa.
34:49This is a promotional video for overseas.
34:53It is made with the spirit of the popular theater in Tokyo.
35:013, 2, 1
35:03Victory!
35:07At the same time, Aira-san was taking a flash of the camera.
35:13This is a poster for a performance.
35:19It's beautiful.
35:23In fact, Aira-san was chosen as the leading role of a special performance held by the same church.
35:31In addition, the original work is Victor Hugo, known as The Miserable.
35:37It is a stage of a musical that is rare in popular theater.
35:44Good morning.
35:46It's been a long time.
35:48I'm sorry.
35:49It's nothing.
35:51Voice training for that was held at the church.
36:00I think it's better to breathe there.
36:06The lyrics were written as if they were overlapping Aira-san's steps.
36:121, 2, 3, 4
36:131, 2, 3, 4
36:15The song goes on.
36:17No matter how painful it was, everything had a meaning.
36:28That's my path.
36:32The path that will continue from now on.
36:36I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
36:43It's good.
36:45I felt that the content was a little sincere.
36:49Don't be depressed.
36:52Don't be depressed.
36:53It means don't be your own story, right?
36:56That's right.
36:59In popular theater, acting and dancing are the main things.
37:03There are not many opportunities to sing.
37:07I'm worried that I won't be able to sing while looking like I'm in pain.
37:12Your face.
37:14That's right.
37:15If you look like you're in pain, it's not cool.
37:18You look like you're in pain.
37:21I sing what I sing every day.
37:24Even if I'm in good condition, I'm in a tight spot.
37:31You don't have to do what you can't do.
37:34I don't know what I don't know.
37:37I didn't think about what I didn't think about.
37:40It's better than putting on makeup and putting on makeup.
37:43Because it's honest.
37:45That's why it's okay.
37:48The whole practice has begun.
37:51Let's do our best.
38:08About 40 actors will appear.
38:11They are mainly senior actors in popular theater.
38:15Mr. Akito will play the role of an actor.
38:23It's a stage where the power of the Akatsuki Theater is tested.
38:30I feel like I'm singing in this classroom.
38:33I don't know where I'm breathing.
38:39It's a miracle that I'm not crying.
38:42I'm nervous, but I'll do my best.
38:45They face the script in anxiety.
38:50No matter how much I hate it, I have no choice but to do it.
38:53I feel like I'm going to do it.
38:56I've had a lot of negative feelings today.
39:01I have no choice but to throw away the negative feelings.
39:05I think I can grow a little bit.
39:10I don't think I can get over it.
39:13The day of the performance.
39:19Will Aira be able to find a new self?
39:30The day of the performance of Akatsuki Theater.
39:33The day of the performance of Akatsuki Theater.
39:40The audience this time is not just fans of popular theater.
39:47I don't know. I'm nervous the moment I get on stage.
39:50I don't know. I don't know.
39:53I don't know what will happen when the song plays and I get on stage.
40:01The performance is about to begin.
40:06Please do your best.
40:08Akatsuki Theater.
40:14The big stage where the power of Akatsuki Theater is tested has begun.
40:39I like theater.
40:43When I'm doing something in front of people,
40:46I feel like I'm alive.
40:51And if someone is happy with what I do,
40:57I'm happier.
41:00There are so many hard things in life.
41:09That feeling has supported Aira, who has been on stage since she was three years old.
41:24Aira's one year has opened up her life as an actress,
41:27facing fear and anxiety.
41:34I think it's changed a lot.
41:37I don't think I have any confidence anymore.
41:42It's May this year.
41:44I don't think I can do it anymore.
41:49I don't want to be a burden.
41:53I'm going to try anything.
41:57But I'm going to do it at my own pace.
42:02And in the same dressing room,
42:05a new life was born in Akatsuki Theater.
42:09Hello.
42:12Akito's second daughter, Uta-chan.
42:17We're going to walk around together.
42:20I feel like we have the same face.
42:23I have a child with the same face as me,
42:25and I have another child who looks like her,
42:27so we have the same face.
42:30Isn't she cute?
42:32Akito's one year was a struggle to carry on the tradition and connect it to the future.
42:42In order to change popular theater,
42:44you have to be at the top.
42:46Otherwise, it's not convincing.
42:48To be at the top is not the goal.
42:52For me, it's a battle.
42:54I have to be at the top one day.
42:57Kabukimura, where young people's precious feelings are carried forward and renewal progresses.
43:06Little by little, the enthusiasm of the past has returned.
43:11It's nice that it's all clean.
43:15Don-cho, who is the face of the theater, has also become new.
43:19Everyone is walking.
43:21Haruki was doing his best.
43:30For Kabukimura, who gave hope to his own life,
43:37Haruki continued to run hard for a year.
43:46New fans are increasing.
43:51I'm addicted to it.
43:53I've been addicted to it recently.
43:56Last month, Akatsuki was in Niigata.
44:00At that time, I was addicted to it.
44:02I'm chasing it as it is.
44:05The actors who are working hard are rewarded even a little.
44:12I want to be in a company where I can get a stable income.
44:30In the era when only new things are popularized,
44:34I try to live the path I have decided.
44:38It may be a rich life.
