TOOI NATSU NO GOGH

[Machine Translation] Can Van Gogh, a young cicada man, survive the winter for the sake of his beloved? Kenichi Matsuyama, who makes his stage debut in this film, struggles against his fate! Minami, Michitaka Tsutsui, Yu Yoshizawa, Toru Tezuka, Kei Hosogai, Takuma Wada, Tomorowo Taguchi, Kei Aran, and other unique actors present a unique love story! Written and directed by Nishida Shatner. --Gogh ( Kenichi Matsuyama ), a cicada larva, is an impatient boy. His understanding friend is Beatrice, a gentle girl born in the same year as him. For Gogh, who is impatient and not good at following rules, Beatrice promises him that she and Gogh will hatch the following summer and become lovers. But Van Gogh was greatly mistaken. He was born a year earlier than Beatrice. Cicadas are guaranteed to die in the same year when they come out of the ground. Contrary to his expectations, Van Gogh's body went to the ground. Once on the ground, Van Gogh tries to live until next summer to keep his promise to Beatrice, while maintaining his life relationship with the creatures of the forest. Will Van Gogh be able to reunite with Beatrice? ( February 2013, Akasaka ACT Theater )
