Other cast members include Sadao Abe, Hiroyuki Nagato, and Kenichi Endo.

The production will be directed by Takashi Miike. It opens on December 3 at Tokyo's Shinjuku Koma Stadium. It will then move to the Umeda Arts Theater in Osaka on December 20, followed by a run at the Aichi Pension Hall in Nagoya starting on January 4.
