Chūshingura Fantasy: Genroku Baroque Rock

Written and Directed by TANI Takaya


Edo, that cosmopolitan city of riotous flowers. There, the finest scientific minds from all over the world gathered, creating a brilliant flowering of baroque culture.

Chronosuke, a kind and serious clock-maker and former retainer of the Ako Domain, enjoyed a peaceful life in Edo despite his poverty, until the day he accidentally invented a clock that could turn back time... and his life changed completely. He used the clock to win handily at games of chance, but that wealth changed him. Chronosuke thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of his success, but the one thing the watch wouldn’t work on was women, where he could never seem to succeed. However, a woman with a mysterious smile was watching all of it. She called herself Kira, and she ran a gambling house. Chronosuke became gradually infatuated by her beauty, which turned to an unhealthy love.

One day, Kuranosuke, a former chief retainer of the Ako Domain, paid Chronosuke a visit. He had come to ask for Chronosuke's help in taking revenge on Kozukenosuke, whose enmity with the Ako lord Takumi no Kami had resulted in his seppuku. The Chronosuke he found there, however, was barely a shadow of his former self and integrity. Chronosuke's heart ached as he clutched the clock to his chest and listened to Kuranosuke wish he could turn back time. However, his expression changed entirely with Kuranosuke’s next words. Kuranosuke had learned that Kouzukenosuke had an illegitimate daughter named Kira...

Chūshingura is based on a true story from the Genroku era, and has been retold in all kinds of fiction. In this interpretation, this tale, which has been universally loved since time immemorial, is presented by the Takarazuka Revue of the love and fantasy-filled Reiwa Era in a way that’s sure to entertain.

The times of Chronosuke and Kira align, and love shines in the heart of Edo, in a clock romance ticking away in a world of baroque rock.

This work is director Tani Takaya’s Takarazuka Grand Theater debut.



The Fascination!

As there are increasing performances in the Takarazuka Revue, in 1921, the Flower Troupe and the Moon Troupe were born, and the first Flower Troupe performance was held. The year 2021 celebrates the 100th anniversary for the Flower Troupe. And in this performance, it will be led by the new top combi Yuzuka Rei and Hoshikaze Madoka.
The glamourous work of "The Fascination" will celebrate the establishment and 100th anniversary of the Flower Troupe. Please look forward to the gorgeous dance settings of the "flower" theme, that connects the tradition and future "fascination" of the flower troupe in this stage.
