Junna Ito from Nogizaka 46 and Konoka Matsuda from Keyakizaka 46 cross the boundaries of their groups for their first inter-group performance, “Nanairo Inko (Rainbow Parakeet)”. They are garnering attention throughout Japan and beyond, for making a stage adaption one of Japan’s manga masters, Osamu Tezuka.
乃木坂46の伊藤純奈（いとうじゅんな）、けやき坂46の松田好花（まつだこのか）が、グループの垣根を超え初めて共演する舞台『七色いんこ（なないろいんこ）』に出演。日本漫画界の巨匠・手塚治虫（てづかおさむ）原作の舞台化とあって、国内外から注目を集めた。
“Nanairo Inko (Rainbow Parakeet)” is a story about the genius stand in actor, Rainbow Parakeet, who can act any anyone’s place regardless of sex or age plays countless famous parts, while he also commits crime to fulfill a certain goal. Nogizaka 46’s Junna Ito will play the protagonist, Rainbow Parakeet, and Keyakizaka 46’s Konoka Matsuda will play the whimsical female detective who tracks him, Mariko Senri.
『七色いんこ』は、1980年からマンガ誌「週刊少年チャンピオン」で連載され、老若男女どんな役でもこなす謎の代役専門天才俳優・七色いんこが、数々の名作舞台で代役をつとめる中、ある目的のもとに泥棒を続けていく物語。主役の七色いんこを乃木坂46の伊藤純奈、その七色いんこを追うお茶目な女刑事・千里万里子をけやき坂46の松田好花が演じる。
The play begins with the same scenario as the first volume of the manga: it begins within the unique rainbow frame of a stage, were the lead actor of “Hamlet”, a play within a play, suddenly cannot perform. Junna Ito gallantly appears as a man for the first time, a part she plays in elegant costume, with cool acting and lines.
舞台は、七色のフレームにいろどられた独特な舞台上、劇中劇として「ハムレット」の主演俳優が急きょ出演ができなくなったことから始まるコミック第一巻と同じシチュエーションでスタート。ここに颯爽とあらわれる伊藤純奈が初めてという男性役・華麗な衣装の男装姿で颯爽と登場し、クールな役柄とセリフをつらねていく。
Ito has widened her opportunities within Nogizaka 46 as an actor, and has acted in one of Checkov’s four great plays, “Three Sisters” this year. She succeeded in her portrayal of the second daughter, Masha, who is engaged in complicated love affairs. Regarding her role in “Rainbow Parakeet”, which is completely different in nature and is her first time as lead, she said during our on site reporting that she “really thought ‘Wow’, when I heard the words ‘Genius actor’ and ‘Male role’, but thanks to all the people around me who gave me advice, I’m acting without over thinking it.” She spoke of how she has grown with her acting, and her increase in confidence.
伊藤は、乃木坂46の中では演技派として活躍の場を広げており、今年はチェーホフの四大戯曲のひとつ『三人姉妹』の舞台にも出演。複雑な恋愛を重ねる次女マーシャの役を演じきった。まったく雰囲気の違う今回の「七色いんこ」役、そして初の主役での出演について伊藤は囲み取材でも、「“天才役者”とか“男役”がパワーワードというか、おおって思ったんですけど、身近にアドバイスしてくれる方がたくさんいたので、そんなに深く考えすぎず演じている」とコメント。芝居と向き合う自身の成長と、自信を口にした。
However, most notable on stage is Konoka Matsuda, whose representation of the detective is such that one would not believe it is only her second performance. She plays Mariko Senri as portrayed in the original—she moves with striding freedom around the stage, showing a cuteness and innocence, explosive emotion and slick fighting maneuvers even as she falls for Rainbow Parakeet; the charm of her performance rivals that of her co-star.
しかしながら、今回の舞台での注目は、これが舞台2作目とは思えないほど見事なまでに女刑事役を演じている、松田好花。七色いんこに恋心を抱きながらも、いわゆる“キャンキャン“した原作イメージどおりの千里万里子（せんりまりこ）として、縦横無尽に舞台を動き回る姿は、キュートながらも天真爛漫、感情の爆発やキレのある殺陣の動きなど、伊藤に勝るともおとらない魅力をはなっている。
Matsuda entered Keyakizaka 46 (hiragana keyaki) last year as part of the second generation, and has shown off her several talents such as impressions of Mana Ashida and showing off her guitar skills on television and the stage, but she is still relatively unknown. However, this year in April with her great part in the famous “Ayumi”, a play that shows the life of a single woman through 10 actresses, and her part as heroin in this play, display beautiful and flexible movements, and breadth of expression only possible thanks to her experience in ballet, she brings Mariko Senri to life with even more charm than she had in the original.
松田は、けやき坂46（ひらがなけやき）の二期生として昨年グループに加入、テレビ番組やステージでは、芦田愛菜（あしだまな）の物まねや、ギターの腕前を披露するなど多彩な才能を発揮してきたが知名度はまだ低い。しかしながら今年4月、10人で1人の女性の一生を演じた名作舞台「あゆみ」での好演をへて、今回の舞台でのヒロイン役は、バレエ経験者ならではの所作の美しさやしなやかさ、表情の豊かさもあって、まさに“華”あるヒロイン・千里万里子を原作以上の魅力あるキャラクターとして舞台で映えさせていた。
During the on the spot interview just before her performance, she said “I don’t have much acting experience, so I went all out during readings of the script, and they told me that it seemed like Mariko Senri and that I was good as I was. Since then I stopped worrying too much about creating a character. Me desperately trying to act as her, was actually just like Mariko Senri, so I kept it up.” Her co-star Ito guaranteed it, saying, “Yes! She’s just like Mariko Senri. She’s so cute”. And Matsuda says back, “She (Ito) is slowly coming to look to me like Parakeet; lately I feel like she’s really a man.” The two, who are the same age, displayed their compatibility.
公演前の囲み取材で松田は「演技経験自体があまりないので、とにかくがむしゃらに脚本の読み合わせをやっていたのですが、それが千里万里子っぽいから、そのままでいいよといってくださって、あまり役作りとかは考えていなかった。とにかく必死にやらなきゃってなっている私が千里万里子っぽかったらしいのでありのままで」と語ったものの、共演の伊藤からも「ぽいです！千里万里子っぽいです！すっごくかわいいです」とお墨付き。それに対して松田も「（伊藤が）だんだん、いんこにみえてきて本当に男だなと最近思ってきました（笑）」と、同い年の2人の相性のよさも披露した。
This performance is a precious one; it is the first time that members of Nogizaka 46 and Keyakizaka 46 (hiragana keyaki) have done a performance across groups. Regarding this, Ito said, “This was my first time working with someone from Keyakizaka 46, and it was really refreshing, and I think that chances for us (Nogizaka 46) to perform with Keyakizaka 46 and Keyakizaka 46 (hiragana keyaki) will pop up in the future, I hope this performance will result in more opportunities for us.” Matsuda said, “I had worked with people from Nogizaka 46 before, but working on-stage like this over a long period of time is a first. I really look up to those in Nogizaka 46 and Keyaki 46 (kanji), which is why I entered Keyakizaka 46 (hiragana keyaki), so I was really happy to work with someone I looked up to.”
今回の舞台は、乃木坂46とけやき坂46（ひらがなけやき）の異なるグループのメンバーが初めて舞台上で共演する貴重な公演。この件について伊藤は「けやき坂46さんのメンバーとお仕事するのは初めてだったんですけど、あまり関わることがないので新鮮だなと思ったし、この先欅坂46、けやき坂46（ひらがなけやき）、私たち乃木坂46とお仕事する機会も増えていくと思うので、実際に舞台も決まっているし、これをきっかけに増えたらなと思います」、また松田は、「以前に乃木坂46さんとお仕事したこともあったんですけど、こんな風に舞台で長期間で関わることは初めてだったので。乃木坂46さんや欅坂46さんに憧れて、けやき坂46に入ったので、今まで見ていた憧れだった方と一緒にお仕事が出来ていることが本当に嬉しいです」と語った
The Sakamichi Group is also garnering interest for its activities abroad such as Nogizaka 46 performing in Hong Kong. But Nogizaka 46’s aces Nanase Nishino and Yumi Wakatsuki have announced their graduation. Keyakizaka 46’s Yui Imaizumi has done the same. It is the perfect time for change. Amidst these happenings, Ito and Matsuda performing Japan’s famous manga on the stage pushes the movement into a new phase, on a stage filled with rainbow light.
坂道グループは、乃木坂46が上海での公演を控えるなど海外での活動も注目されるが、乃木坂46ではエースの西野七瀬、若月佑美らが卒業を発表。欅坂46も今泉佑唯が卒業など、まさに変化のタイミング。そうした中、日本の名作漫画を舞台化した作品で、伊藤・松田の新境地が、この舞台で七色に光り輝いていた。
There are certain words repeated throughout the main theme music and dialogue of “Rainbow Parakeet” on-stage. They are the most famous of the four soliloquys from “Hamlet”, from the beginning of the first scene of the third act. They are as follows.
“To be, or not to be”
舞台『七色いんこ』では、メインテーマ曲や全編で繰り返されるワードがある。それは『ハムレット』の四大独白の中で最も有名な第三幕第一場冒頭の名台詞だ。今後の坂道グループには、そのままこのセリフを贈りたい。
「To be, or not to be」
