00:10The famous musical is back.
00:14First of all, this musical is based on the Disney movie, New Jeez.
00:19It is a musical that Disney has also performed.
00:22When it was first performed in Japan in 2021, it became a big hit, and it was decided to be reenacted in the fall of this year.
00:32How about you two?
00:35I've seen the movie musical, but I haven't seen the musical showman.
00:42I haven't seen it at the venue yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
00:49This fall, a new cast will be reenacted.
00:54Broadway musical, New Jeez.
00:57In the first performance in Japan in 2021, Taiga Kyomoto, a member of the Stones, starred in it.
01:03He won the 29th Yomiuri Drama Awards for his work and received high praise.
01:19I can't stop loving you, Santa Fe
01:28It's really interesting to see it live.
01:32The main actor this time is Taisho Iwasaki, a handsome boy.
01:36He will challenge the performance with a gorgeous cast.
01:39The movie was released in the United States in 1992.
01:44It became a big hit when it was performed on Broadway in 2012.
01:51He was nominated for eight Tony Awards, which is called the Academy Award for Stage Performance, and won two awards.
01:58He has won many honorable awards in the theater industry.
02:02And tonight, an interview with the handsome boy, Taisho Iwasaki, who will play the main role, will take place.
02:09He has a lot of experience in acting, so he will be able to feel the charm of the work.
02:15It's amazing. You're the main actor.
02:17I'm really grateful.
02:20Are you still practicing?
02:24It hasn't started yet.
02:25Oh, so you haven't been scolded or given advice yet?
02:31That's right. I haven't done anything yet.
02:33You don't know how hard it is?
02:35I don't know.
02:36I'll let you know after I've decided what I'm going to eat with Kyomoto-kun.
02:42I think it's going to be hard, so I'd better get stronger.
02:46It's said that it's hard.
02:48That's right.
02:49Well, you're the main actor, and you're in a position where you have to pull everyone.
02:53That's right.
02:56The story takes place in New York in the summer of 1899.
03:03Boy Jack sells newspapers every day with New Jeez, a newspaper sales boy from an orphanage and a homeless man, and lives his daily life.
03:15However, one day, the sales of the newspaper they sell will be withdrawn.
03:21In order to protect their lives and rights, Jack leaves New Jeez and marries Strike.
03:29It's a story full of New Jeez's dreams, struggles, and determination.
03:35What do you think of Jack, the main character played by Iwasaki-kun?
03:38What kind of character is he?
03:40When he's with New Jeez, he's charismatic and has a lot of leadership.
03:46He looks like an adult, like an older brother, but he's actually 17 years old.
03:53That's right.
03:54He's like a child.
03:56But he pulls everyone with his passion.
03:58That's right.
03:59You first saw Kyomoto-san's New Jeez in the audience, right?
04:03Yes.
04:03How did you feel when you saw it?
04:05I knew that Kyomoto-kun was very good at singing and was very active in music since he was a teenager.
04:15But when I saw him in the audience, I felt that he was really amazing.
04:22He started singing pretty early, but it was amazing from there.
04:26You were overwhelmed from the start.
04:29I was overwhelmed, drawn in, and I was so excited that I could enjoy it.
04:34You went to dinner with Kyomoto-san, right?
04:36Yes, I did.
04:37Did you get any advice? Like, you should do this.
04:40Anyway, he has a lot of lines and dances, and he's basically a desupper, so I tried to build up my physical strength.
04:49That's the most important thing.
04:50Yes, that's the most important thing.
04:52I'm sure Kyomoto-san will come to see you, right?
04:54Yes, if he comes.
04:55Kyomoto-san, too.
04:56Yes.
04:57You must be under a lot of pressure.
04:58No, I really am. I'm a newbie.
05:01That's right. So, from the point of view of someone who has come to see you many times,
05:05not only your acting, but your acting compared to Kyomoto-san's acting in the past.
05:11That's right.
05:12You don't want to lose, do you?
05:13No, I don't.
05:14I want to do better with respect.
05:17That's right.
05:18I want to do better.
05:20Didn't you say anything about how you feel as a desupper?
05:23That's because I'm pretty shy.
05:28And it's my first time with so many cast members.
05:33I was thinking about what to do.
05:36Kato Seishiro-kun is in the same cast as me.
05:40Kato Seishiro-kun was in the last episode.
05:43That's right.
05:44When I talked to Kyomoto-kun, he said I should rely on Seishiro.
05:48If I'm in trouble, I should rely on Kato-san.
05:51He said I'll definitely be fine.
05:53He said he helped me a lot.
05:55He said I should be at ease and rely on him.
05:57That's right.
05:58He said that.
05:59It's a bit similar, isn't it?
06:01He said he'd pull me, but he was a bit scared, so he asked me to help him.
06:05That's right.
06:06He's that kind of character.
06:08How did you feel when you received the main cast offer?
06:12I was really surprised.
06:15Did you say that to the members of Bishounen?
06:21No, I couldn't say it myself.
06:24Why?
06:25It's kind of embarrassing.
06:28I see.
06:30But you've been singing and dancing for a long time, right?
06:36It's a little different to sing and dance in musicals.
06:44It's a little different from your usual job.
06:47That's right.
06:48I usually sing and dance in Iwasaki Taisho.
06:52It's a little different to sing and dance as Jack.
06:56That's right.
06:57It's a little difficult.
06:58The music is amazing, right?
07:01The song.
07:02The song.
07:03Aran Menken, who won the Academy Award eight times for his many hits such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Angel's Love Song, and Sister Act, is in charge of the song.
07:17It's really luxurious.
07:24Did you listen to the song?
07:26Yes, I did.
07:27How did you feel when you first heard it?
07:29It's a song that makes you feel good.
07:36It's a Disney song, so there's a lot of music that makes you want to sing and dance with it.
07:43That's right.
07:44There's a lot of cool music in the battle scenes.
07:48It's a song that makes you feel good even when you're looking at it from the audience.
07:57That's amazing.
08:01Next, we asked him about his lines.
08:05How do you memorize your lines? Do you just read them out loud?
08:08I read them out loud.
08:11I repeat them.
08:13I record them.
08:16With your own voice?
08:17Yes, I record them and listen to them while I'm on the move.
08:23Don't you tell the members to do this?
08:27It's embarrassing.
08:31I'm sure the members will come to see it.
08:33I'm sure they'll come to see it.
08:35Are you embarrassed?
08:36No, I'm not.
08:37First of all, I don't want to read the script in front of the members.
08:44I see.
08:45It's not good to be seen by the actor, Taisho Iwasaki.
08:49I want to hide it.
08:51I just want to look relaxed.
08:54I see.
08:55I don't want to show it to other people.
08:59Are you sure he's okay?
09:01You don't want to show that you're desperate.
09:03I don't want to show it.
09:04I just want to look relaxed.
09:06I don't want to show it to other people.
09:09I want to make them think it's okay.
09:12I want them to be surprised when they see it.
09:15The rehearsal hasn't started yet.
09:17Some people are more angry than surprised.
09:22But some people don't like to be angry.
09:26I see.
09:27Which one do you prefer?
09:29I...
09:31But...
09:32I want them to say it.
09:34Can I be strong?
09:35Yes.
09:36When I make a mistake, I'm told to be careful.
09:42On the contrary, I say,
09:43Give it to me.
09:45I want them to give me advice because I'm strict.
09:50I don't want them to say I'm bad.
09:52I don't want them to say I'm bad.
09:55Why do you feel bad?
09:58It's a blue, muddy, and hot stage.
10:03I think there are many moments when my heart dances.
10:05I think I'm a member of NU'EST.
10:07I hope you enjoy it.
10:09I'm looking forward to it.
10:12I haven't seen many musicals.
10:15I'm looking forward to your debut.
10:21I want to see it.
10:22How about you, Iwasaki?
10:25Do you feel embarrassed when other members come to see you?
10:32No, I don't think so.
10:34I'm embarrassed when other members come to see me.
10:40If you were in a musical, I wouldn't come to see it.
10:45You're going to see it, right?
10:47I'm not going to see it.
10:48I'm not going to see it.
10:49Really?
10:50Mr. Okogoriko, are you going to see it?
10:52Mr. Endo played Tom in Tom & Jerry.
10:58Mr. Endo played Tom?
11:01Yes.
11:03So I'll give you a cat food.
11:07I'm going to see it.
11:09Disney musicals that have won many awards in the theater world will be re-staged with a new cast.
11:18Broadway musical NU'EST.
