Worlds of samurai and rock band Queen merge on Tokyo stage
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A new play, directed by and starring playwright Hideki Noda, opened its doors on Oct. 8 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, merging the world of samurai from 12th century Japan with the tracks of British rock band Queen.
"'Q': A Night At The Kabuki" was inspired by the songs on Queen's album "A Night At The Opera." With a number of major hits under his belt, Noda endeavoured to recreate Shakespeare's classic "Romeo and Juliet," alongside the band's tracks in his new work.
British rock band Queen has been brought back into the limelight following the Academy award-winning film "Bohemian Rhapsody," the 2018 biographical film about the band's lead singer Freddie Mercury.
About two years ago, Noda was approached by music conglomerate Sony Music Entertainment Inc. about producing a work using the band's 1975 eponymous album. The playwright was able to realize the work he had been working on after receiving approval from the band itself.
The story is an imagined retelling of Romeo and Juliet's lives had they had not died. The setting was shifted to 12th century Japan with the traditional Genji and Heike families, who were in conflict with each other, replacing the original Montagues and Capulets.
Many of the songs on the band's album sync nicely with the play, such as "Love Of My Life," which is used in a heart moving scene in which the characters express their love.
"The feeling is similar to when I produced an opera," said Noda. "I was thinking about how I could interpret the lyrics to make it interesting."
"The upbeat melodies don't all necessarily apply to light-hearted scenes," he continued. "I think it makes it theatrical."
The work plays out like an illustrated handscroll, with its actors donning modern coloured kimono-type costumes against the backdrop of a simple stage.
Noda's unique script also works to evoke the audience's imagination, creating multilayered meanings within its rhyming words.
Queen's songs and the play come together to form an intense and heartwarming story about life and death. Romeo and Juliet are depicted by two sets of performers that include seasoned actors Takaya Kamikawa, Takako Matsu and young front-runners Jun Shison and Suzu Hirose.
One of the key words Noda abides by is the "encounter." In awe of meeting people of different cultures and strength of character, the playwright notes that "A play can only be achieved through encounters."
"It's something you definitely can't do alone," he says.

“Q: A Night At The Kabuki” is inspired by Queen’s “A Night at the Opera”. The play written by a Japanese playwright/director/actor Hideki Noda is set the story in wartime, the 12th century in Japan and focuses on what if Romeo and Juliet hadn’t killed themselves in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” (though it seems that Hideki was asked to make this play by Sony Music Publishing before “Bohemian Rhapsody” became a big hit). A character called “Juliet [after that]” tries to have the younger Juliet survive and escape with Romeo. At the same time, “Romeo [after that]” is also trying to change the future. Would they change their destiny and live happily ever after? https://www.geigeki.jp/performance/theater218/ I went to buy a ticket sold on the day and see “Q” today because I’ve just realised that Takaya Kawakami is performing as Romeo in the future. It was the first time to go to the theatre since I came back from London to Tokyo. Actually, I’ve been admiring Hideki’s work since I was a secondary student. He always writes emotional, complicated and well-thought-out stories which make us fascinated. And this time, he portrayed people involved in and torn by the war. I’m sure if I explained the story, it would become a boring one, but I’ll try. *Spoilers* In act II, “Juliet [after that]” finally gets a blank letter from Romeo after waiting for a long long time. A man called Bon-taro, who delivered the letter, said that Romeo couldn’t write any words because there was a possibility of being censored by someone. Instead of that, Bon-taro got the message from him and remembered it. Romeo said to her, ‘I don’t love you any more.’ It sounds shocking, but Juliet understands his feeling somehow and is convinced that he loved her until the last moment. In fact, after the day he didn’t die, he escaped from his family without knowing that Juliet was alive too and disguised someone to enter the military. Unfortunately, he got injured and lost his sight at the battlefield. Juliet found him as a nun at the hospital but she couldn’t say he was Romeo because she knew her family would kill him if they found him. Romeo also realised she was there, but it was the last time they met. Romeo was exiled to a prisoner’s camp in severe cold and forced to work day after day with other prisoners. They eventually started to die off in front of him. One after another. Eating small buns, he endured the difficult situation. And then, he was getting to forget Juliet and just repeating ‘Buns, buns, buns…’ On the other hand, Juliet’s relative became a general and was indulging in luxury. However, waiting for his letter, Juliet was keeping away from any food. One day, a ship came to the camp due to a pardon. Romeo expected to be able to go back to the country, but the officers never call his name. They said ‘There is no name as you.’ Before the ship left, Bon-taro suggested Romeo passing a message to Juliet. Romeo gave the message. ‘I don’t love you any more.’ He didn’t have the energy to live any more. ‘Please give me the power to love you.‘ In the end, Romeo died alone and his body was abandoned with other anonymous people. ‘Don’t remember as a soldier who doesn’t have a name.‘
