Yutaro will appear in the upcoming stage production of How Many Sins are There, written, directed, and performed by Shigeyuki Totsugi of TEAM NACS. The play will begin in April 2023 and will be staged in three locations around Japan.

5D2-FIVE DIMENSIONS is a solo project by members of TEAM NACS, giving each member space to express themselves. This play will be Shigeyuki Totsugi’s first new work in nearly four years.

The play tells the story of a gossip magazine reporter who is assigned a feature-length piece on death row inmates by his editor-in-chief. Speaking to six incarcerated individuals, he begins to work on brainstorming the perfect murder. During the lengthy–and sometimes bumpy–interview process, the prisoners begin to mysteriously die one by one. As the condemned prisoners become increasingly troubled as they face execution, they finally discover why they were brought together.

Yutaro will play the role of Raido Beppu, a transgender inmate on death row who is interviewed by the reporter protagonist.

“Four whole years have passed since my last solo project, MONSTER MATES. I’m incredibly happy to finally be able to return to my professional solo career in this big way.

Moreover, as with previous performances, I’ve assembled the best possible cast. We’re all grateful for this opportunity and we’re determined to bring audiences the best possible performance. Please look forward to it!”

The main visual for the play has been released.

“While the play has heavy themes that concern life and death, there are plenty of laughs to be had, as you might expect from something of my creation. I hope you’ll come to see the performance,” said creator Shigeyuki Totsugi.
