The world of Kabuki and the world of otaku collide for the 13th time in Kabuki history! Resulting from this spectacular collision, a new genre, the Chôkabuki (literally Ultra-Kabuki), was born in 2016 [more details]. Nakamura Shidô shares the stage with the virtual 3D creature Hatsune Miku. They perform "together" in the 2020 Chôkabuki drama "Towa no Hana Homare no Isaoshi". The choreography was made under the guidance of Fujima Kanjûrô VIII. It is staged at the Makuhari Messe as part of the Niconico Chôkaigi 2023 event, an important yearly event for the otaku tribes [dedicated website]. |
