Business Overview

"Hey! IT'S SUCH A GREAT LOVE, BUT TEARS" presents a one-man show created based on the identity of Nagai Kenichi. "Boku," an art college student, is dating a comedian "Ko" as a man. Through the friction between him, who openly declared himself a homosexual, and myself, who hesitated to do so, and the interactions with the people around me, I began to reconsider my approach to "identity" and "expression." In order to bring the experience of watching a play closer to that of doing it, a workshop was also held to accompany this work. Screenplay and cast: Kenichi Nagai Screenplay and direction: Kyosuke Fujita Planning cooperation: Naoya Tsukuda Advertising art design: Yoshino Furutomori Advertising art Photography: Kyosuke Fujita Day management: Su-su Production cooperation: Sakura Takiguchi Recording photography: 1000 Ayumi Nakajima Recording video: Kengo Kodama

Profile

[Nagai Kenichi]
Born September 12, 1996 in Virgo. He was born in Tokyo. Actor. They appear in a wide range of genres, from physical companies to lighthearted comedies, and run wild in all directions. Since 2023, he has been planning and running the "Drama Workshop for Brightening Your Feelings" as an individual, in search of how much he can lower the hurdle to acting, in order to find out how much he can lower the fun of performing a play and feel cheerful when he feels it. I want all kinds of people to be able to do theater. In 2024, he started an individual unit called Baobao (bǎo・bǎo).
