According to Japanese media reports, actress Mitsuki Takahata confirmed to play the role of Kane, the heroine of the musical "Sign Miss Sign" (Tokyo Imperial Theater), which will open in July and August next year, to which she commented that "I am looking forward to next year."
Takahata was used as a new actor in the role of Kim, who had been acting for 20 years, but due to the expansion of the new crown infection, the whole process was suspended. Looking back on the experience of production presentations and rehearsals that were also being suspended, he said, "Last year I was only in Saigon for a short month, and I was really happy. Ah, in this world, I wanted to stay a little longer and left the rehearsal hall with the feeling of wanting to be Kim."
In addition, he also said, "I myself have a lot of feelings and thoughts about this extraordinary world during this year. In the year until the show, I feel that new ideas will definitely be added. I will hold this thick 2 years well and stand up next year at the Imperial Theater. Entertainment can really be exciting. I'm looking forward to next year."
"Miss Saigon" will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Japanese premiere next year and is a hit that has been performed 1,463 times in total. In Saigon, where the Vietnam War was about to fall, it depicts the tragic love of Kim, a Vietnamese girl who met in a tavern run by an engineer, and Chris, an American soldier.
In addition to Takahata, the role of Kaneichi will also be played by Kunsami (30 years old) and Kuchi Na Yabi (27 years old). Kunwa Yabijo's comments are as follows.
◆ Kun Xia Mei "Miss Saigon" is back in the summer of 2022! Affected by the new crown, all kinds of entertainment activities have not been able to be born, and since 2 years ago, I have lived with the idea that "I will see you again one day". I feel that the power that this work has combined with our ideas is a very bloody stage. As it is the 30th anniversary of Japan's first performance, now is the time to do it, so be sure to look forward to it."
◆ Yabi Kuchina "The feeling I felt when I received the notice of the suspension of last year's performance, I still can't forget it." I'm really happy to be alive. "Miss Saigon" strongly feels the power of survival, the power of survival, the power of survival, and the energy released by living human beings, and I feel a great significance for the current stage of this work. This is a special year for the 30th anniversary of the Japanese premiere. I will put all my thoughts, wishes, and prayers for the accumulated works in Kim's life and do my best to live! ”
