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.

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.

Shigatsu Oh Kabuki – Matinee (April 2026)

My day at the closing performance of Shigatsu Oh Kabuki matinee at Kabukiza. Kikugoro's brilliant performance across three roles, tears at Masaoka's "yo de kashatta," and the breathtaking Nikki Danjo on the hanamichi viewed from my favorite hanagai dobu seki.
