Dan-Kiku Festival May Grand Kabuki — Matinee (May 2026)

A front-row seat right beside the hanamichi (runway), with kabuki star Onoe Shoroku close enough to touch! With Tatsunosuke III's name-taking ceremony adding extra celebration, this matinee at Kabukiza was unforgettable.

Kabukiza Gallery (May 2026)

Still glowing from the matinee of the May Dangiku Kabuki Festival, I dropped by Kabukiza Gallery on a whim. An elevator mishap, a refreshing rooftop garden, and a model of the second-generation Kabukiza that stole my heart — a solo outing after the show.

Dan-Kiku Festival May Grand Kabuki — Evening Program (May 2026)

My very first front-row experience at the Dan-Kiku Festival May Grand Kabuki evening program! The third-generation Onoe Tatsunosuke succession play "Kikubatake," Danjuro's Sukeroku, and Ukon's hilarious Tsujin Satoakatsuki - a truly special evening up close.

Kabukichō Grand Kabuki: Hitori Tabi Gojūsantsugi (May 2026)

Kabuki in the heart of Kabukichō! A flying cat-monster in twelve-layered robes, Danko's thirteen-role quick-change, and a Koekabu jackpot with voice actor Hosoya Yoshimasa. A first visit to THEATER MILANO-Za, and a gamble that paid off.
