May Program at the Osaka Shochikuza Theatre: Evening Show (May 2026)

A solo evening at Osaka Shochikuza's farewell performance, just before the historic theater closes at the end of the month. A stellar lineup featuring Nizaemon, Shichinosuke, and Ganjiro delivered both belly laughs and a quiet ache of goodbye.

January Program at the Osaka Shochikuza Theatre (January 2025)

The Nizatama duo reunited at the Osaka Shochikuza for the first time in 19 years. A perfectly in-sync couple in Osome Hisamatsu Ukina no Yomiuri, and in the long-awaited Kanda Matsuri, a Nizaemon so dashing you would never guess he is in his eighties. A solo outing to an auspicious New Year's program.
