The highly-anticipated stage play adaptation of Asa Higuchi’s high school baseball manga Ookiku Furikabutte/Big Windup! has been running at Sunshine Theater in Tokyo since last Friday.
19-year-old Shun Nishime (Takeru Tenkuji in Kamen Rider Ghost) is cast as the protagonist Ren Mihashi, and the OP theme song for the manga’s first TV anime adaptation, “Dramatic” performed by three-member Japanese rock band Base Ball Bear is featured in the play as an insert song.
MaiDiGiTV has posted three interview videos with the cast at the press conference on the opening day.
