Toma Ikuta and Matsuya Onoe were classmates back in their high school and have been close friends. In their high school days, the two promised that they would stand on the same stage some day. And for the final stage of Onoe's produced kabuki stage series, Ikuta will star as a special guest in his first ever time to perform kabuki.
Many people know Toma Ikuta from films such as The Mole Song (2013 and The Brain Man (2013), but in Sing, Dance, Act he puts himself out there and gives it all when the chance to perform in a kabuki play. Between the demanding training for difficult dance acts, Ikuta shares his thoughts on various subjects like his career and childhood while friends in the business also weigh in on how Ikuta is as a person.
I must admit I was drawn into the film way more than I first thought, Ikuta isn't an actor I've deliberately followed or sought out movies by, but after seeing him here my respect grew immensely. He really comes across as very genuine and someone who doesn't do anything half-hearted.
Genre: Documentary. 1h 27min.
