The musical ‘DREAM BOYS’, featuring KAT-TUN member Kamenashi Kazuya (23) as the lead actor, has finally started at the Imperial Garden Theater in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
The popular musical series started in 2004, and from then on it has become an annual event. Alongside Kamenashi, who has appeared in every one of the productions, KANJANI∞ members Shibuya Subaru (27) and Tegoshi Yuya (21) will also participate. Kamenashi seemed pleased with the cast choices. “We have lots of big name members in the cast. The series have evolved over the years, and for this production we’re surely going to have a strong impact on the audience like never before.” During the show, Kamenashi broke records by showing the dynamic ‘flying’ sequence 18 times for a total of 24 minutes. The crowd was visibly awed.
Tegoshi commented about fellow NEWS members Yamashita Tomohisa a.k.a. Yama-P (24) and Nishikido Ryo a.k.a. Ryo-chan (24) who had both come down with the flu. “I’m sure they’ll come back soon. As for ME, I’m totally healthy!” The theater itself was on ‘high alert’, so the main cast members were all examined by doctors beforehand, and the nearly 200 staff personnel wore flu masks. At the backstage entrance visitors were asked to put on masks and use hand disinfectants.
All the tickets for all the dates of the musical had sold out on the first day they had been made available. The three young Johnny’s groups, KAT-TUN, NEWS, and KANJANI∞ had proved yet again their continuing popularity and forward momentum.
