Komatsuza 155th performance “The Sparkling Constellations”
Business Overview
Produced by Hisashi INOUE and directed by Tamiya KURIYAMA
Asakusa in 1940. A family of four and two tenants lived in harmony in a small record shop.
But in this peaceful Odeon Hall, something big happens. His eldest son, Masakazu, who had joined the army, is said to have deserted. "Fleeing in front of the enemy" is a severe punishment. All of a sudden, the family becomes a 'noncitizen's house,' and they are immediately followed by a military police corporal named 'Mamushi no Gondo.'. Then another hardened patriot joins the family. Her eldest daughter Misao chose her husband, Genjiro, a disabled soldier, from a bundle of postcards. Her marriage to him completely transforms the family from a 'house of non-citizens' to a 'house of beautiful stories,' but Genjiro, who is obsessed with military songs, and the residents, who love jazz from a "hypothetical enemy country" and pop songs called "soft popular songs," repeatedly clash. Thus an untimely great storm swept over the Odeon Hall.
