安倍なつみ2役熱演…ミュージカル「白蛇伝」主演で会見

歌手、安倍なつみ(24)がミュージカル「白蛇伝-White　Lovers-」(東京・ル　テアトル銀座、11月8~26日)で主演することになり1日、都内で会見した=写真。昭和33年に公開された日本初の長編カラーアニメのミュージカル化で、東映アニメーション50周年を記念して製作される。

白蛇の精と、その白蛇が変身する町娘の2役に挑戦する安倍は「プレッシャーはありますが、蛇と人間の心を両方感じてもらえるように頑張ります」と熱演を誓った。九尾の狐役の仁科有理(46)とのアクション対決シーンも見どころ。

ほかに歌舞伎俳優の市川右近(42)、市川喜之助(33)、元宝塚歌劇の彩輝なお(35)。音楽監督はシンガー・ソングライター、広瀬香美(40)が務める。

From what I can work out with babelfish... Nacchi is gonna be in a musical called "Hakujaden-White Lovers-", to be performed at Tokyo's Theatre Ginza Nov 8-26. It's to commemorate Toei Co. Ltd's 50th anniversary and is a musical version of an anime first released in 1958. The rest of it is just the names of the other actors I think.

And the news clip that set me off googling for that page...

A note that H!P Egg Fukuda Kanon will also be in it! I know this is the Nacchi thread, but yeeah~ She's adorable, so I needed to mention her

I heard about this news too, I'm looking forward to see Nacchi's acting, even though I won't be able to go to Japan and see it

Nacchi will also have the challenge of portraying two different roles, so that should be interesting!!! I'd definitely like to see this.

Thanks for posting a new topic, Dan ^_^

Shouldn't 白蛇伝 be romanized as Shirohebiden? It translates to White Snake Legend.

Quote from: tiny

There's more than one way to pronounce kanji. Also, especially in this case when the kanji are combined together to form one word, onyomi is used rather than kunyomi. Thus, Hakujaden is right.

tiny · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2006, 08:31:34 AM »

Ah, you are right. Googling lead me to Wikipedia (of course): http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/白蛇伝 and the corresponding English page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_White_Snake
The correct reading is indeed the on'yomi (Chinese reading), hiragana: はくじゃでん, romaji: hakujaden. Which makes sense because the story is Chinese in origin.

See the Wikipedia links for more information about this Chinese myth.

It's Hakujaden. Listen at 0.20 in the video clip. I always find when romanising titles in video/mp3, if in doubt watch the video/listen to the mp3.

This musical play looks interesting. I wonder will they release it on DVD? Is Japanese version plot same as the Chinese version?
