SUMMARY OF GEKIDAN DA'S PRODUCTION "APPLE"

The world has been fragmented into smaller worlds, represented by Ru, Achtzehn, Snapper and Huit. To ensure that the world isn't destroyed, they have to reunite the fragments.

However, all four have very different ideas of what they want for their world.

OTHER TRIVIA

Theme: Apple

Each of the characters in the production are represented by an apple.

In flower language ("hanakotoba"), the apple symbolises "honour" (Achtzehn), "regret" (Snapper) and "choice" (Huit).

Ru tells the audience that his apple is "revolution", but that is a false meaning, and it is revealed that the true meaning of his apple is "temptation".

Achtzehn (アハセント): 18 in German. Based on "Touya" / 10 + 8.

[NEWS] Sato Ryuji will be Starring in the "Private Detective Hama Mike -THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE-" Stage

SUMMARY

It’s the 1990s. Set in Koganecho, known as Yokohama’s most infamous underworld, this is the territory of Hama Mike (Sato Ryuji), a self-made private detective, who receives various requests from clients.

One day, he receives a request from Yang Haiping (Teranishi Takuto), a Taiwanese man he meets by coincidence, to look for his missing older brother.

As Mike proceeds with the investigation with help from his friend Hoshino (Yabe Masaki/Miyamoto Kosuke), they find out that Yang's brother is a member of the Taiwanese mafia which is in conflict with the Black Dog Association of Japan.

Mike's younger sister Akane (Koizumi Moeka) cautions Mike against getting in too deep, but...
