Business Overview
The opening performance of the new Asakusa Kyugeki theater that will open in February 2017. Fiction based on historical facts surrounding the first kiss scene in Japanese film history. The story revolves around two actors who ignited love in Japan, a director and filmmakers seeking the title of "first Japanese film," GHQ trying to permeate American culture through kissing, and people grinding their teeth to stand up from the end of the war. It is a story that explodes with the preciousness and absurdity of love.

Profile
[Bed & Makings]
A theatrical troupe composed of actor Tomioka Koichiro and screenwriter/director Fukuhara Mitsunori. A pair of shy idealists who stand up to make life easier in a world full of contradictions. The name of the theater group is derived from 'making a theater (bed),' which means' theater 'is compared to a bed. With a strong focus on giving life to a theater and creating a theater in a place other than a theater space, he has performed in warehouses, open air and amphitheaters. The consistent theme of his works is "the restoration of imagination."
