Kabuki August Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Part 2 (August 2026)
An empty Kabukiza right after the doors opened, the ever-hilarious "Rakuda," and Shichinosuke's heartbreaking Omatsu. A Part 2 full of laughter and tears.

Kabuki Kankurō Nakamura and Shichinosuke Nakamura: Shungyō Kabuki Special Performance, Matinee (March 2026)
The Nakamura brothers' touring Shungyō Kabuki Special Performance 2026 (matinee): a heartwarming talk corner, Shichinosuke getting his face blackened in Suminuri Onna, and a small gap I felt inside a multipurpose hall. A solo theatergoing diary.
Kabuki Saruwaka Festival: February Program at the Kabukiza Theatre, Evening Show (February 2026)
I'd come for Tsurumatsu Nakamura's rain-praying fox dance-but it was Kankuro and Shichinosuke who took the stage instead, and oh, what a treat. A solo night at the Saruwaka Festival's evening program, savored from a dobu seat, with a celebratory medetai-yaki at the interval.
