The 2nd Higashiosaka Citizen Musical "100 - ONE hundred 2026"

About this event

The citizen-participation musical "100 - ONE hundred 2026," set in Higashiosaka City, will be performed over two days on November 28 and 29, 2026, at the Higashiosaka City Culture Creation Hall Dream House Main Hall. Taking themes from local small factories spanning 100 years and a film studio once located in Higashiosaka known as the "Hollywood of the Orient," this original musical fantasy moves back and forth between contemporary times and Higashiosaka 100 years ago, portraying people's dreams and family ties. The script is written by Koji Tokuo (known for "Ossan's Love"), music is by Akira Miyagawa (famous for "Matsuken Samba II"), and planning and direction are by Yozo Sakamoto, bringing together a star-studded production team and citizen cast members recruited through open auditions from within and outside Higashiosaka City. The protagonist, college student Mitsuru Tojo, travels back in time to Higashiosaka 100 years ago, reflecting on his own dreams and family relationships through encounters with his great-grandfather, the founder of a small factory, and a leading actress working at the film studio of that era; the story unfolds on a grand scale through song, music, and acting. It is a work that allows audiences to feel close to the region's history and charms, enjoyable across generations.
