— Mizue Kenta as Ash Lynx
It was an honor to be a part of this work as an actor and a person, and it meant a lot to me. As an actor, I will face the role sincerely until the end. “BANANA FISH: The stage Part 2”, a work which all of us put our hearts and souls into, has finally opened its curtains. Thank you so much for your support!
— Raimu Okamiya as Eiji Okumura
The rehearsals for Part 2 made me realize the difficulty and nobleness of caring for someone and providing them unconditional love. Working for this stage play made me think that I want to be as caring as the characters of “BANANA FISH”. As Eiji, I am ready to enjoy the world of “BANANA FISH” and support Ash until the end. Thank you so much for your support!
