Description: The story of a small friendship between Nono, a zombie girl who lives in a remote forest, and Sho, a human boy who lives in the city, is told in this original musical interspersed throughout with songs from NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” which has been widely loved by people since its broadcast in 1961 and has produced over 1,300 classic songs. It is the definitive version.

( Double cast with Nogizaka46 Ito Ririan ).
Mone Kamihiraishi plays Nono, a zombie girl. (Double cast with Ayaharu Kumagai)
Masaki Ichiro plays Lily, a zombie elder who gently watches over the forbidden friendship between Nono and a human boy.

Furthermore, in addition to performances at the Nissay Theatre, this production will be performed at 16 other locations throughout Japan, including Iwate, Gunma, Shizuoka, Aichi, Osaka, Hyogo, and Oita.

■Non’s comments
I am one of the children who grew up watching “Minna no Uta,” so I am very happy to be able to participate in this event.
I feel that I have to sing the songs that everyone has been listening to and singing, so I feel that I have to sing them with great care.
And this is my first time playing a boy. I have played a young man before, but this is my first time playing a boy. I am delighted to experience a new challenge.
I will do my best to deliver a musical full of hope together with the cast and the wonderful production and staff.
