Dream Boy (musical)#Dream Boys（2006）

The story of Dream Boy has varied over the years, with multiple changes to the script and score. The 2004 and 2005 productions were stories "about the world of boxing", an element that has been carried over into the majority of later productions. In 2006, in addition to the boxing storyline, a new heart transplantation storyline was added,{{Cite news |date=2005-10-17 |title=Kat-Tun と関ジャニ∞が「ドリームボーイズ」で競演 |url=http://www.sanspo.com:80/geino/top/gt200510/gt2005101707.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051126124231/http://www.sanspo.com:80/geino/top/gt200510/gt2005101707.html |archive-date=2005-11-26 |newspaper=sanspo.com}} and further inspiration was drawn from West Side Story with a new conflict between the East and West.{{Cite news |date=2006-01-09 |title=亀梨「快感」！東西のジャニーズが飛んだ！舞った！ |url=http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/smt/f/geinou_tokuho/hot/?id=hot_20060109_010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119001133/http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/smt/f/geinou_tokuho/hot/?id=hot_20060109_010 |archive-date=2018-01-19 |access-date=2018-01-18 |newspaper=TV Asahi News |publisher=TV Asahi}}

In 2007, Johnny Kitagawa rewrote the show again, now featuring three main characters: the protagonist, his rival, and his best friend.{{Cite news |date=2007-06-15 |title=亀梨、田中、屋良で濃厚ミュージカル |url=http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/special/2007jya/KFullNormal20070615051.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070916044933/http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/special/2007jya/KFullNormal20070615051.html |archive-date=2007-09-16 |access-date=2017-05-30 |newspaper=Sponichi Annex}} The 2007 rewrites feature the drama of the main character killing a boxing champion, and his interactions with the champion's sick brother.

By 2009, another storyline was added in that the main three characters are former members of the same idol group, which was carried over into the 2011 production. The rival remains a boxing champion, while the best friend becomes a musician.{{Cite news |date=2011-06-15 |title=Kat-Tun改め「勝運（かつうん）」…舞台公演限定でジャニー社長命名 |url=http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertainment/news/20110614-OHT1T00296.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616170714/http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertainment/news/20110614-OHT1T00296.htm |archive-date=2011-06-16 |newspaper=Hochi}}

Yokoyama, a movie producer, selects Kazuya to play the lead role in a film about the life of legendary boxer Subaru. However, Subaru and his friends (Kanjani Eight) do not take kindly to Kazuya and his friends (KAT-TUN) and violently oppose them. Subaru and Kamenashi decide to settle their differences in the ring, but what awaits them is a tragedy.

The story follows three people after the breakup of their idol group,{{Cite news |date=2018-06-14 |title=亀梨ビックリ Kat-Tun改め勝運 ミュージカル「Dream Boys」 |url=http://www.chunichi.co.jp:80/chuspo/article/entertainment/news/CK2011061502000082.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616154857/http://www.chunichi.co.jp:80/chuspo/article/entertainment/news/CK2011061502000082.html |archive-date=2011-06-16 |newspaper=Chunichi}} who are each involved in a boxing movie as a lead actor, a model athlete, and the theme song writer.{{Cite journal |author=宇田夏苗 |date=2011-08-02 |title=帝劇100周年記念公演「DREAM BOY」 |journal=シアターガイド |publisher=Morningdesk |issue=September 2011 |pages=8–11}}

Act 1

The three friends talked about their dreams when they were young, but now have a strained relationship. Yuta quits boxing just before his rookie championship match, but he wants big money and gets a job starring in a movie through Toshiya, who has become a music producer. The fact that it is a boxing movie antagonizes Kent, the champ, and the two box over the shoot.

Kent's skull is cracked, his condition deteriorates, and he is hit by a straight right hand from Yuta and falls in the ring. The match seemed to be decided, but Sanada finds a lead plate in Yuta's glove. Kent is rushed to the hospital, and Yuta is framed for a crime he did not commit.

Yuta goes into hiding with his madam, the president of a film production company. However, Yasuyi comes to take revenge with a knife, and after a struggle with Kaito, who stops him, Yasuyi stabs himself and falls to the ground. As the police arrive on the scene, Yuta escapes, protecting Kaito, who is holding the knife. Kaito collapses in agony, and Toshiya suspects Yuta and despises him. However, Yuta's desire for a large sum of money is to pay for Kaito's heart surgery, as he loves Kaito like his own brother.

Act 2

While Yuta is on the run, Kaito, who has been performing as one of the "Jet Boys," suffers a seizure on a singing show and is reunited with Kent, who is in the hospital. Kent, who believes in Yuta's innocence, is moved by Kaito's confession of the knife incident. Kent entrusts the Champion's Glove to Kaito and decides to get to the bottom of the matter.

Meanwhile, Yuta discovers that the mother who abandoned him as a child was Madame, and that the mother who abandoned the young Kaito was Rika. The lives of both sons were ruined by the feud between the two mothers. When Yuta angrily confronts Rika the truth, she realizes that she has been trying to destroy her own son, Kaito, and her son's benefactor, Yuta, out of hatred for the madam, and she regrets it terribly. Yasuyi and Kent appear at their doorstep, where they reveal that the knife incident was an accident, and that the lead in the glove was Sanada's madness under Rika's direction, and Yuta is finally cleared of suspicion. Yuta returns to tell Kaito that his heart surgery was a success, and the two sets of parents and children are reconciled.

The misunderstanding is cleared up, and the three sing together on a park bench, just as they did when they were children. While Yuta talks about his boxing dream and Toshiya talks about his show business dream, Kent remains motionless and they take care of him. Yuta and Kaito continued to box with Kent in their hearts after he dies

This name was given by Johnny Kitagawa in reference to recovery efforts of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that occurred in March of the same year.

In this work, various confrontations will take place under the theme of "10 Battles". These include a boxing match between Kamenashi and Koki Tanaka, a rap and voice percussion match between Tanaka and Nakamaru, a "former Takarazuka showdown" between Ran Ohtori and Tsubasa Makoto, and a "brother showdown" between Koki Tanaka and Juri Tanaka. Kamenashi learned and performed a new flying technique, "Kensho Koshin Mai Kuu Daiten," incorporating bungee jumping, in about 20 days with an invited acrobatic troupe from China.{{Cite news |date=2011-09-16 |title=帝劇開場100周年記念公演『Dream Boys』上演中！ |url=http://www.theaterguide.co.jp/theater_news/2011/09/16.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180310011912/http://www.theaterguide.co.jp/theater_news/2011/09/16.php |archive-date=2018-03-10 |access-date=2018-03-10 |newspaper=シアターガイド}} Due to the earthquake and tsunami, flying over the audience was restricted.{{Cite news |date=2012-09-03 |title=亀梨、中国雑技団直伝"大回転フライング"披露 |url=http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20120903/joh12090305050000-n1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120904131809/http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20120903/joh12090305050000-n1.html |archive-date=2012-09-04 |newspaper=Sanspo}}

For this production, Kamenashi was involved in the design of the posters and flyers, and also participated in discussions about the cast with Johnny Kitagawa. Kamenashi was the oldest male performer in this production. In the past, the role of the champ had been played by a senior actor. Yuta Tamamori, who played Champ in the production, said that his role was "out of character" and that he was conscious of being "an ordinary person," in contrast to other interpretations of Champ. The story was renewed with the theme of "kizuna" (bonds). In the opening scene, in particular, the central characters wear the school run to more clearly depict their past.{{Cite journal |author=Junko |first=Horie |date=2012-09-27 |title=亀梨和也/八乙女光/玉森裕太/千賀健永/宮田俊哉『Dream Boys』誌上公演 |journal=Best Stage |publisher=Musicperson |volume=November 2012 |pages=12–15}}

The 2015 production starred a double cast of Yuta Tamamori (September 3–10, 15 - 16, 22 - 30) and Yuma Nakayama (September 12–14, 18 - 20).{{Cite web |date=2015 |title=Concert/Stage(Kis-My-Ft2)「Dream Boys」 |url=http://www.johnnys-net.jp/page?id=consta&artist=17#347 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150928044004/http://www.johnnys-net.jp/page?id=consta&artist=17#347 |archive-date=2015-09-28 |access-date=2021-02-18 |website=Johnny's net |publisher=Johnny & Associates}} The Tamamori version features Kento Senga and Toshiya Miyata, and the Nakayama version features Fuma Kikuchi and Marius Yo as the main actors, with Tamamori and Nakayama playing a young man who has quit boxing, Senga and Kikuchi as boxing champions, and Miyata and Marius as their friends. This was the first time that the three members of Nakayama's version appeared in "Dream Boys".

In order for the audience to see the "theatrical" part of this production, the storyline was "stripped down to the bare essentials" and the roles were reduced to the necessary ones.{{Cite journal |author=Junko Horie |date=2016-07-27 |title=『Dream Boys』玉森裕太×千賀健永×宮田俊哉 |journal=Best Stage |publisher=Musicperson |volume=2016-9 |page=12}} The basic script is the same for both productions, but the music and direction are different. Tamamori performed a new technique called "Tama-nobori(Tamamori climbing)" following the previous year's flying "Tama-hula(Tamamori flying)". Nakayama performed "Yuumaru", a trapeze-like flying named after himself.{{Cite news |date=2015-09-13 |title=中山優馬、菊池風磨、マリウス葉の『ドリームボーイズ』開幕！ 結婚発表の国分太一に「ご夫婦で見に来て」 |url=https://tvfan.kyodo.co.jp/news/topics/1015658 |access-date=2018-03-10 |newspaper=エンタメOVO}}

In this production, a new "Dream Boys Suite" consisting of five songs of about seven minutes{{Cite news |date=2016-09-02 |title=キスマイ玉森、4年目「ドリームボーイズ」の新たな結末は… |url=http://www.hochi.co.jp/entertainment/20160902-OHT1T50156.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160903165817/http://www.hochi.co.jp/entertainment/20160902-OHT1T50156.html |archive-date=2016-09-03 |newspaper=Hochi}} with themes such as "Family," "Friendship," "Bonds," and "Pledge to the Future", was performed just before the last scene.{{Cite journal|author=小林則子|title=心揺さぶる衝撃のラストシーン！〜ドリームボーイズ、さらなる高みへ！|pages=42–43|journal=Eye-Ai|issue=2016年12月号|publisher=リバーフィールド社| date =2016-11-01}} The final scene is tragic, in contrast to the traditional happy ending and from the tragic scenes in the Imperial Theatre productions directed by Johnny Kitagawa. "Challenger" was sung as the ending song.

Tamamori, the chairperson who had refined the story the previous year, wanted to further refine the play in this production, respecting the traditional "handing over the champ's heart" scene, but also wanting to take the play "in a more realistic, humanistic, and realistic direction".{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}} Therefore, when Johnny Kitagawa proposed a change to the last scene in which "Champ dies in the arms of the main character,"{{Cite journal|title=「Playback STAGE 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Hinode|journal=Stage Square|volume=24|pages=46–47|author=Mizuho Seo}} the main cast and others reconsidered the entire structure of the story from scratch.{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}} The "conflict between best friends" was made clearer by the childhood of the three main characters depicted at the beginning of the story and the scene in which the three regain their bond at the end of the story.{{Cite journal|title=『Dream Boys』SHOWTIME & 千秋楽カーテンコールレポート|date=2016-10-27|publisher=Hinode|journal=Stage Square|volume=23|page=116|author=}}

Along with the story revision, the characterization of the roles was also changed. The character of Champ, played by Senga, is "hotter" and more "human" than before,{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}} and plays the role of defaming the protagonist. Miyata's role has also undergone the most significant character change: previously, his role was to believe in the protagonist and the champ, to keep them close,{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}} and to be comedic relief; in the 2016 production, he is plunged into doubt. This served to increase the presence of each character.

Tamamori wanted to impress the audience with the "theatrical" aspect of this work, which has traditionally been mostly evaluated in terms of performance. For this reason, he was initially opposed to the suite proposed by Johnny Kitagawa.{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}} However, Tamamori recalls that by actually working on the suite, he was able to feel the "musical-like" quality of expressing emotions through song and dance rather than dialogue.{{Cite journal|title=「BEST STAGE RE:ACT of 2016」玉森裕太|date=2016-12-27|publisher=Musicperson|journal=Best Stage|volume=2017年2月号|pages=58–59|author=関亜沙美}}

As other performers, Kaito Takahashi of Mr. KING, Ryo Hashimoto, Mizuki Inoue, Soya Igari , and Yuto Takahashi of HiHi Jet, who were noted for their dancing, singing, and roller skating, were gathered to form "Johnnys'5," a limited time unit named after the "Jackson 5" by Johnny Kitagawa.{{Cite news | title=「Johnnys'5」結成！期間限定ユニットとして活動| newspaper=Sanspo| date=2016-06-30| url=https://www.sanspo.com/article/20160630-QU3NMO63H5NCHCBMELEI3DBXZI/| access-date=2016-06-30}} They played the role of Miyata in the play.
