Maki Horikita in a white dress for the stage play "9 Days Queen"


1: 禿の月φ ★ 2014/02/26 06:10:26
Maki Horikita was interviewed by the media in her stage dress for the play 9 Days Queen at Tokyo's Akasaka ACT Theater on the 25th. She seems to have taken a liking to the dress, commenting that "It's so pretty, cute, and wonderful. It's not that extravagant, and I like how it's slightly laid back.". Even her co-star Takaya Kamikawa said, "White really looks lovely on you".

This is the first time for Horikita to return as the lead character in a stage play after over 3 years, following her role in Jeanne d'Arc back in 2010. She comments, "I have not been a very good leader...", to which Kamikawa responded, "This is of course, not true. She's just being humble. She does not waver. And that unwavering stance leads to stability and security, and she is a wonderful role model for the rest of us". The stage play will run at the above venue from February 26 to March 16.

All-girl 4-piece band SCANDAL's vocalist HARUNA (25) just made her stage play debut. She is currently in the play Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Dai 4-shou kouhen Gekitotsu (runs until March 2). She ventured into the world of acting with the aspirations of improving her way of expressing herself. She also mentioned that she saw the first showing of this stage play series 11 years ago and has been a fan ever since. 

She plays the role of a boy who attends the Ginga Teikoku Younen Gakko, and she says: "I'm playing the role of the opposite sex for my very first stage play, so it was trial and error for me at the beginning of our rehearsals. I have been able to experience a different kind of tension and nervousness on stage here compared to when I have concerts with the band, but I'm enjoying this experience.".

Gou Ayano, Hiroki Narimiya, and Atsuko Maeda to star together in Ninagawa's stage play

Actor Gou Ayano (32) will be playing the lead in a stage play for the first time in Yukio Ninagawa's Taiyou 2068 which will begin in July at Shibuya's Bunkamura Theatre Cocoon. This is a science fiction-themed play where Hiroki Narimiya (31) will be joining him. It has been 7 years since Narimiya last worked under Ninagawa's guidance. Also making her stage play debut will be actress Atsuko Maeda (22). The story of Taiyou 2068 is based on the novel Taiyou by Tomohiro Maekawa which won the Yomiuri Engeki grand prize in 2012. Ninagawa has rewritten the script for the play.

Ayano comments: "I want to face this head on without getting carried away. I would like to absorb and steal everything Yukio Ninagawa-san has to offer in order for me to be able to express everything from the bottom of my core".

Narimiya comments: "Ninagawa-san to me is the strongest person, and I would like to challenge him in this".

Maeda comments: "Whether he'll be strict or kind, it's alright. I really want to enjoy this. I honestly want to give my all to Ninagawa-san".
