Since its debut in 2000 with Koichi Domoto (KinKi Kids) (Click here to read Interview: Koichi Domoto & Yuma Nakayama on the Final Year of 'Endless SHOCK') as the lead, 'SHOCK' has maintained its place as a pinnacle of Japanese theater for over 20 years. Now a cultural phenomenon, Koichi’s role in 'SHOCK' goes beyond acting; he is also the creator, producer, and director of this iconic production. The show’s acclaim in Japan already speaks volumes, but it is truly worthy of wider recognition on the international stage. Here are five reasons why 'SHOCK' deserves to be embraced worldwide.

Describing a Blue Man Group show after just leaving one to a person who has never seen them may feel like sticking jelly to a wall: messy, futile and you might be feeling a bit sticky.

Musical theatre is known for showcasing the extraordinary. From GYPSY to MOULIN ROUGE to an ogre named SHREK, the most unusual protagonists imaginable are what are on display. Phantoms, witches, cats and even puppets (AVENUE Q) are what audiences have come to expect. Musicals are built for “transportation.”

Koichi Domoto (KinKi Kids): Koichi took on the roles of creator, composer, director, and lead actor for the last time in 'Endless SHOCK,' which opened at the Imperial Theatre on April 11. (Click here to read Review: 'ENDLESS SHOCK' - Created, Composed, Directed, and Starring Koichi Domoto) This production, which he has been starring in since 2000, has surpassed 2,000 performances and holds the record for the most performances of a single role by a solo actor in Japan. Known for its immense popularity, 'SHOCK' is often called 'the most difficult ticket to get in Japan.' Alongside his music career with KinKi Kids, Koichi has achieved remarkable success in musicals and stage productions, including receiving the prestigious Kikuta Kazuo Theater Award (菊田一夫演劇賞大賞). His notable works include 'CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY THE MUSICAL,' “MUSICAL KNIGHT'S TALE,' and 'DREAM BOYS' (as director). Yuma Nakayama: Yuma plays Koichi’s rival in the Osaka performances of 'Endless SHOCK.' This marks his fourth appearance in 'SHOCK' since 2018. Yuma has been making strides as an actor, appearing in stage productions and TV series. His notable works include the stage productions 'DREAM BOYS' and 'PLAYZONE,' and the series “Gifted Season 2' (WOWOW). Recently, he also appears regularly on 'NONSTOP!' (Fuji TV) and fashion events such as 'KANSAI COLLECTION.' Here, we bring you the group interview conducted after the dress rehearsal in Osaka.
