project K: Bokura no Mirai

On December 15th, I went to see the play project K “Bokura no Mirai” at Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX.

This is a production based on a song written by Kato Kazuki, under the same name Bokura no Mirai (“Our Future”). The cast stars Kato-san himself, as well as two of his fellow Hyotei cast members from Musical “Prince of Tennis” (aka Tenimyu) over 10 years ago, Kamakari Kenta and Kawai Ryunosuke. An excerpt from Kato-san’s comment on the official website:

A stage adaption of my own song… It’s like a dream. I wrote this song with the thoughts I had when I came to Tokyo from my hometown, Nagoya, in mind. It’s a song that’s special to me, and one that I’m emotionally attached to. To be able to put on this production with friends from my very first stage performance, Musical “Prince of Tennis”, nothing can be happier than this. There are sentiments that we can express only because we are where we are now.

The story revolves around three characters who, upon graduating high school, struggle as they grow up and become adults. One works at a company in the sales department despite his dream of being a designer, and stays working the same job for the sake of his new family. One continues to struggle with getting a chance to make a breakthrough in the film industry as a director despite his talent, all the while dealing with problems back home. And one continues to wander around the world visiting different countries, following his instinct to connect with the world and refusing to settle down anywhere despite the expectations of those around him.

The three men gather for the first time in years at Raimu, a bar they had frequented in the old days run by an owner who, separated from his wife, slowly works at establishing a relationship with his rebellious teenage son who has run away here with the desire of pursuing a seemingly unstable future in music.

Although the story doesn’t seem particularly intriguing on the surface, as I watched it, I felt myself relating to so many emotions expressed by the characters, and getting my heartstrings pulled by certain lines in the script. Personally I’ve watched Kato-san, Kamakari-san, and Kawai-san since I was in middle school (I watched them in Tenimyu at the time), and seeing them acting together again, in roles that corresponded to their actual ages, was really touching for me as a long-time musical fan.

I definitely shed some tears near the end of the story (the girl next to me was bawling her eyes out as quietly as she could), and it had really been a while since I last watched something that was so real and relatable. It was a very refreshing experience, and one that I’m certain is best felt in person. It will be available on DVD (which you can preorder here), but I’m really glad I decided to go see this production in person.

The particular show I went to had a special talk show at the end, one in a series of short after-talks they held which they named Oretachi no Genjitsu (“Our Reality”). The one I attended had Nakagauchi Masataka (who was also involved in Tenimyu around the same time) as the guest, and together with the three main members of the cast, they had a heartwarming talk about old times, what each of them were doing nowadays, etc. Since they were old acquaintances, it was nice seeing them fool around with each other regardless of their age and careers. Their interactions were so endearing, and I had a wonderful time watching their talk with a kind of warm affection (although they are actually older than me...).

It was my second time seeing a play at Club eX, with the last one being “ACCA 13” the previous year. I quite like the circular venue, and the cozy but classy atmosphere. This time I was seated in one of the balconies on the second floor; other than the hand rail that sometimes got in the way of my vision depending on where the actors were positioned, the stage still felt relatively close and I could hear and see everything quite clearly. The chairs, however, are not theatre chairs but regular ones you might find, for example, at a banquet hall at a hotel (not surprising, as it is fundamentally a hotel complex). They weren’t uncomfortable, but not exactly something you’d want to sit in for three hours to watch a play either.

All in all it was a fantastic experience, and I am tempted to get the DVD just so I can watch all the footage from the other special talk shows and bathe in the nostalgia. Thanks for putting this together, Nelke Planning! I hope they can continue this “project” and do something like this again!

HERO by Kazuki Kato(Romaji and English Translation)

Now that I've finally found a website to let me copy the lyrics(which thanks so much, I'll make sure to credit them!), I can translate this awesome song from his new album 'Ultra Worker' in which i like almost every song on the album so I'll probably be translating them😁Enjoy!

どこまでも続いてゆく　それぞれの道のど真ん中で

Doko made mo tsudzuite yuku sorezore no michi no do man'naka de

In the middle of each road that goes everywhere,

すれ違っていく人たちは皆　何を探し彷徨う

Surechigatte iku hito-tachi wa mina nani o sagashi samayō

People passing each other wander about what they are looking for

近道はないってこと　わかってるよ I know！You know？

Chikamichi wanai tte koto wakatteru yo I know! You know?

I know there's no short cuts I know! You know?

答えだけ求めても　夢は叶わない

Kotae dake motomete mo yume wa kanawanai

Dreams will not come true even if we only ask for answers

「もう一度…」「もう二度と…」言い訳は So bad ！To bad！

`Mōichido…'`mōnidoto…' iiwake wa So bad! Too bad!

"Once more ..." "No more ..." The excuse is So bad! Too bad!

負け犬と言われても　夢は失くさない

Even if I'm a loser, my dream won't be lost

憧れていたヒーローのようじゃなくてもAkogarete ita hīrō no yō janakute mo

Daremoga minna jibun no yume kanaeru hīrō

Everyone is your dream hero!

待ってたって始まんない　手を伸ばせば届くからMatte tatte hajiman'nai te o nobaseba todokukara

Wait, don't start yet; if you stretch out your hand, youll reach it

絶え間なく流れてゆく　雲のようなときの真っ只中で

Taema naku nagarete yuku kumo no yōna toki no mattadanaka de

In the midst of a time like a cloud that flows constantly,

通り過ぎていく　人たちは皆　何を抱え生きてるTōrisugite iku hito-tachi wa mina nani o kakae iki teru

People passing by are all living as they are

譲れない夢ならば　逃げるなよ Do it！Go it！Yuzurenai yumenaraba nigeru na yo Do it! Go it!

If its an achievable dream, don't run away Do it! Go it!

人生は一度きり　夢は逃げない

Jinsei wa ichido kiri yume wa nigenai

You only live once, so you can't run away from your dreams

想い描いた未来とは違っても

Omoiegaita mirai to wa chigatte mo

Even though it is different from the imagined future,

自分を信じて　また挑むんだ

Jibun o shinjite mata idomu nda

Believe in yourself and challenge again

(頂上越えてゆくんだ Go on！Just do it now！)(Chōjō koete yuku nda gōon! Just do it now! )

(Go over the summits Go on! Just do it now!)

One more try　もう失敗なんて怖れないから

One more try mō shippai nante osorenaikara

One more try Because I will not be afraid of failing anymore

弱い自分にサヨナラ

Yowai jibun ni sayonara

Goodbye to my weak self

君も　僕も　誰かの夢叶えるHERO

Kimi mo boku mo dareka no yume kanaeru hīrō

You and I are the dream of someone

カッコなんてつけないで　ありのままで挑むんだKakko nante tsukenaide arinomama de idomu nda

Don't put any parentheses on it and challenge it as is

(Just go now！ You are the only oneなHEROさ！Yeah！)

Right now！目を覚ま���　寝て見る夢は現実じゃないぜ

Right now! Me o samase nete miru yume wa genjitsu janai ze

Right now! I woke up and saw that my dream's not a reality yet

もっと叫べ　衝動　己の中にあるなら上昇

Motto sakebe shōdō onore no naka ni arunara jōshō

Shout out more, rise up if you're yourself(?)

確かな未来を　掴み取るんだ

Tashikana mirai o tsukami toru nda

And take the future for sure

(限界超えてゆくんだ Keep on going×3 now！)(Genkai koete yuku nda Keep on going× 3 now! )

(Go beyond the limits Keep on goingx3 now!)

Dreams come true Although it is not yet realized

No more cry　もう絶対　ずっと忘れないから

No more cry mō zettai zuttowasurenai kara

No more cry I will definitely never forget it
