Part of Japan\u2019s performance art culture, the underground theater has a history of around 60 years. We bring you its allure in a two-part mini documentary, following a Japanese artist who performed as part of a tent theater that made an appearance at a shrine in Tokyo\u2019s Shinjuku neighborhood.<br \/>\n The lead is Yasuda Shota, a member of a boys group SUPER EIGHT and an actor. It\u2019s uncommon for an idol to challenge themselves on the stage of an underground tent theater. We filmed the behind-the-scenes journey of Yasuda\u2019s first day of rehearsal to opening night over the course of about two months.<br \/>\nYasuda joined the Shinjuku Ryozanpaku troupe, led by director and actor Kim Sujin, a company dedicated to preserving and developing the traditions of underground theater. He performed in two back-to-back plays from the early works of underground theater master Kara Juro: AliBaba and Ai no Kojiki(The Beggar of Love).  These works are regarded as masterpieces that, amid fantasy and romance, sharply depicted Japanese society of those times. Yasuda said he took to the stage with a deep love for Kara Juro\u2019s work and a strong commitment to carrying this culture into the future.  The tent theater is built, performed in, and dismantled entirely by the actors themselves. The process is considered a fleeting existence likened to a dreamlike fantasy. If you have the chance to visit Japan, check out the tent theater when it makes an appearance at a shrine. It may become a whole new encounter with Japanese culture.<br \/>\nThis was originally on-aired in news every. in July, 2025.   <\/p>\n<p>\u25bcClick here to watch PART 1 :<\/p>\n<p>READ\u3000the latest news and full transcript on<br \/>\n**********************<br \/>\n\u25bcPlease subscribe to our YouTube channel:<br \/>\n\u25bcSomos Televisi\u00f3n Nippon, la estaci\u00f3n de televisi\u00f3n de transmisi\u00f3n privada m\u00e1s antigua de Jap\u00f3n. \u00a1Por favor, suscr\u00edbete a nuestro canal!<br \/>\n\u25bcLike us on Facebook:<br \/>\n**********************<br \/>\n#shinjuku #tokyo #japan #japon #japonya #supereight #yasudashota #starto #karajuro #kimsujin #japan #japon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever experienced Japan\u2019s underground theater?
