スーパー歌舞伎 – Super Kabuki

A well-known kabuki actor has started a modern version of Kabuki called Super Kabuki in 1986.  Unlike traditional Kabuki, you will see more modern elements in the choice of story, music, stage effects, etc.  The spoken language in Super Kabuki is easier for young people to understand than traditional Kabuki. When Super Kabuki began in 1986, the plays presented were still based on famous stories that had been told for centuries. But in 2015 they staged “One Piece” a brand new play based on a famous manga as Super Kabuki II (second), and since then they have been performing One Piece over and over.
