Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya attended a press conference on Thursday for the stage play "Strangers on a Train" ("Mishiranu Joukyaku"). This is his first play in 4 years. He commented, "I've been 'away' from work outside Arashi, so this gives me the feeling of being allowed to study."
The play is based on the popular novel of the same name, which was turned into a film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The suspenseful story tells of a wealthy young man who happens to meet an up-and-coming architect on a train. The two agree to "exchange" murders. Robert Allan Ackerman, who has handled several Broadway productions, will produce the play.
Ninomiya plays Bruno, the young man with a side of a mad murderer. Kumiko Akiyoshi plays his mother. Shige Uchida has also been cast.
The play is being performed at the Tokyo Globe Theatre from July 18 to August 11.
