The performance of Tatsumi Engeki Box at Mokuba-kan, Asakusa, Tokyo has just started.
After working, I went to Asakusa to see the night stage.
The first day's play was a comedy titled "Oshidori Dochu" (Journey of Happy Couple).
It was enjoyable enough.  Other performance such as dancing, Tatsumi's talking and singing were of  course excellent.  However, my camera's battery was not enogh, so I could take only a few pictures.  I will check the battery and bring another small digital camera next time.
