Here's a Glimpse at the Live-Action NARUTO Musical That Will Tour Japan
Every time I hear that the Japanese are not as crazy about their anime as we think they are a bit of news comes out to dispute that statement! Comicbook is giving us our first look at the upcoming Japanese musical based off the popular manga/anime Naruto. The musical is officially titled Live Spectacle Naruto: The Akatsuki Investigation and will center around events that happened on and beyond the 27th manga in the series.
Check out this teaser trailer and continue on below...
The show is set to run throughout the summer in Japan starting out in Tokyo from May to June and then traveling to Osaka briefly before ending its run back in Tokyo. The show is scheduled to conclude in early August.
I guess just because they're making a musical based off a popular anime it doesn't mean they're crazy about it. After all, we've been running The Lion King on broadway for decades...then again, we are still pretty crazy about Disney movies. Would you be interested in seeing a Naruto musical? Check out some additional character photos of the production below while you think about it.
