Shintokumaru Otake Shinobu Yano Masato

[Machine Translation] A new legend begins! The 2011 version of "Shintaku Maru" with a new cast of Shinobu Otake and Masato Yano is now available on DVD! Shinobu Otake plays the new Nadeko. Her ghoulish performance overwhelms the theater! Newcomer Masato Yano, who was chosen from 8,523 people in the "Shinzumaru Audition," takes on the role of Shinzumaru! Yukio Ninagawa's challenge to create the greatest ending in the history of the play is also a major highlight! A town called "Tokyo" once existed. In the twilight of that time. A young boy, Shinjusumaru, wanders the streets looking for the image of his mother who died when he was a child. His father does not care about his feelings and decides to buy a new mother at a "mother-selling store. At the store, there is a woman named Natsuko, who used to be a traveling entertainer. The moment Nadeko's eyes meet the eyes of the father, he decides to choose Nadeko as his mother. Nadeko entered the house with her stepson Senzaku. With father, mother, and child all together in the container called a "house," the father's ideal "family" is complete. However, Jitusumaru cannot accept Nadeko as his mother, and is rebellious against her. She laments the fact that Nadeko is not a woman in the flesh, but only an ornament, a "mother" who makes up the family. The "family togetherness" continues, with only one person, Jitsusumaru, as an outcast. It has been half a year since Nadeko came to the house, but she has never opened her heart to him. He violently rejects Nadeko when she tries to talk to him in a friendly manner and calls her "mama-mama" (mother). Nadeko, driven to the brink, finally chastises him. Unable to bear it, he runs away and meets a strange mask seller. He borrows a mysterious hole from the mask seller, which leads to the other world, and goes to the underground world where his deceased mother waits for him. After wandering through hell like a somnambulist, he finally meets his mother. But it turns out to be Nadeko!
