Singer-songwriter, actor, and musical performer Akinori Nakagawa and the Kyoto Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble will hold a concert at the Kyoto Art Theater, Shunjuza.

In 2016, he attracted attention for his role as Frankie Valli in the musical "Mozart! In 2016, he played the role of Frankie Valli in the musical "Jersey Boys," for which he won the 24th Yomiuri Drama Award for Best Performance, as well as the Best Actor Award and the Kazuo Kikuta Drama Award for himself. He also won the Best Actor Award and the Kazuo Kikuta Theatre Award himself.

I have had the pleasure of performing at the Shunjuza before. I am delighted to be able to bring my singing voice again to this special place, the Shunju-za, when guests from Kyoto and the Kansai region, as well as from all over Japan who love musicals, come to visit us. Along with the wonderful Kyoto Philharmonic Orchestra, the music that will be heard in a Japanese rather than a Western space will be different from the usual atmosphere of the Shunjuza. I hope this concert will be an amazing time for everyone who loves Shunjuza, for students, and for those who are here for the first time.

At the performance, the Kyofilharmonic Orchestra will perform a number of numbers from the works in which they have appeared, including "I am the Music" from their masterpiece "Mozart! Boku ko Music" from "Mozart!", "Kimi no Hitomi ni Koishiteru" from "Jersey Boys", "Frankenstein", and "The History of the Great Creation of Life Begins" from "Frankenstein", and many more.

I plan to deliver a wide range of numbers, not just the big musical numbers, the classical numbers," he said. There are even numbers that are almost like pop songs, so I hope they sound cool. I think one of the attractions for customers who see my musicals is that they can hear all the songs they want to hear. However, I think that those who have not seen my musicals are wondering how I will deliver them at the Shunjuza, so I will deliver my singing voice as usual, and I hope that they will look forward to Kyofil's rendition of pop songs," he said with a gentle smile and a hint of confidence. With a gentle smile, he expressed his confidence.
