Kazuya Kamenashi: A veteran artist with 25 years of experience, embarked on a groundbreaking venture by organizing the fan event 'Inside 23.' The theme of this 'experiment No.0' was centered around 'expressing oneself through cover songs.' With a desire to create a place which allows him to connect with fans and staff with his hurt, Kazuya enlisted Eriko Kitagawa, the scriptwriter for his starring work ‘Tatta hitotsu no koi （たったひとつの恋）,' to handle the monologue. As a member of KAT-TUN, Kazuya is known for his multifaceted contributions, including music, acting, variety shows, and sports casting. His solo works and KAT-TUN’s recent releases, and this event are available for streaming internationally, showcasing his popularity beyond Japan. He has also launched a YouTube channel recently. In the currently released film 'Lumberjack the Monster,” which he played the lead and directed by Takashi Miike, he attended the Sitges Film Festival. Additionally, in January, he will make his debut in a historical drama, 'Ohoku（大奥）,' airing on Fuji TV, and in April, he is set to appear in the TV Asahi series 'Destiny.' With these ongoing projects, his presence becomes increasingly captivating, making it impossible to divert one's attention.

亀梨和也：芸能人生25年経て初の試みとなるファンイベント『Inside 23』を責任者として立ち上げた。今回の『experiment No.0』は”カバー曲の中で自分を表現する”を一つのテーマとしている。また、“ファンやスタッフと自分の想いで繋がる場所を持つ”という意思から、モノローグは自身の主演作『たったひとつの恋』の脚本家である北川悦吏子氏が担当。亀梨氏はKAT-TUNのメンバーで、音楽活動、俳優業、バラエティ番組、スポーツキャスターなどマルチに活躍している。ソロ曲やKAT-TUNの楽曲、本公演は海外でもストリーミングされ、その人気は国内に留まらない。最近ではYouTubeチャンネルも開設。三池崇史が監督の公開中の主演映画『怪物の木こり』ではシッチェス映画祭にも出席、1月には初の時代劇『大奥』（フジテレビ系）、4月にはテレ朝系連続ドラマ『Destiny』の出演も決まっており、益々目が離せない存在。

What you oughta know is that Broadway Sacramento is starting off the New Year with a bang. Raw, emotional, and energizing are the words to kick off 2024, as the National tour of Jagged Little Pill, The Musical hits Sacramento this week. It was inspired by Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album of the same name and, like the album, is a Grammy Award-winner. It also won two Tony Awards after its 2019 opening. While the musical uses songs from Morisette’s album, it is not the jukebox musical I was expecting. It features an original book by Diablo Cody that highlights the challenges facing an outwardly perfect suburban family, reminding us all to never judge a book by its cover…or a soccer mom by her minivan.
