Business Overview
“Two Momotaros ” is based on a new picture book that is a little different from the usual stories. The script by Yuichi Saito was adapted without losing the fun and unexpectedness of the original story, and the music by Saki Tobayama incorporated the elements of pop and classical music, making it a highly entertaining work. In addition, the songs of a leading opera singer and the performances of actors with a rich personality seem to have captured the hearts of children. The hall was filled with the innocent reactions of children and the laughter of adults who enjoyed them.
