Watching Ki-jo no Kūron #17 'Peach's End, Beach's Abyss, or in other words, No Side' Team A

During the first run, I didn't know the first thing about theater,
and unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the venue for the second summer run,
so for many people, this third run is likely a chance for redemption.
First of all, I'm just happy I was able to see it safely.
I hope it continues like this until the final performance without anyone missing.

As for a rough summary,
it's about a monster born from an unfortunate background,
and its interactions, exchanges, and changes with people,
perhaps that is the nature of the outcome.

A line from a certain movie crossed my mind: 'Stories about beasts that have had contact with humans always have an unhappy ending.'

The monologues of the characters, which left such a strong impression in Ki-jo's 'Aka no Hito' that I saw previously, are alive and well in this Ki-jo Peach as well. I thought, 'Ah, this is it! This is the one!' and
my excitement grew and I was drawn right in.

This stinging, tense atmosphere—I felt that maintaining it without breaking the world of the work must come from solid quality, determination, and passion. I felt a clear sense of distance between myself and the story, the play, and the situation. Was it two hours? I think that's on the longer side for a stage production, but there wasn't a single dull moment. From beginning to end, I was simply intrigued, and I spent the time feeling excited, nervous, anxious, and pleasantly overwhelmed, wondering where it would land. It was a satisfying time. It was a fulfilling time.

Also, it is an R-18 stage play, and there are scenes of breast exposure and sexual depictions here and there, but it was keenly conveyed that these are just means to reinforce the story's depiction and express the situation and characters. Of course, as a heterosexual man, my eyes were momentarily captivated by the beauty of the actresses' bodies, but it is by no means a 'show for nudity.' From the resolute announcements before the performance, I could see a performer-first attitude, which I thought was great and made me feel at ease as an audience member.

I was captivated by the large-scale work using the Honda Theater in 'Aka no Hito' with a 'BANG!!!', so I was very curious about how it would turn out in the relatively smaller Sunmall Studio this time. I felt that they are able to appropriately size things for both large and small venues, and it's amazing (I'm at a loss for words).

I've written at great length, but in a word, I'm very satisfied 👍
