Highlights of the October 2026 Issue

This month’s cover features Shirota Yu from the 'Sagrada Familia Symphonic Concert,' commemorating the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s passing and the completion of the Tower of Jesus, alongside Nishida Daisuke, Shimoura Takanori, and Hashimoto Shohei from 123seasons AND ENDLESS’s 'Anti-Clockwise Sprinter.'

The 'Sagrada Familia Symphonic Concert' features renowned orchestral pieces performed against the backdrop of NHK’s 15+ years of footage, transforming the venue into the cathedral Gaudí once envisioned. Shirota Yu, who spent his childhood in Barcelona, serves as the storyteller.

'Anti-Clockwise Sprinter' marks the 30th-anniversary performance of AND ENDLESS, the theater company founded by Nishida Daisuke. Nishida, producer Shimoura Takanori, and Hashimoto Shohei—who also starred in the company’s 20th-anniversary production—share their enthusiasm for this brand-new original work.

Packed with exclusive photos and special reader giveaways, don’t miss the latest issue—available at theaters, shops, and stations near you.
