The stage play "The Letter" will feature OTARO NAKAMURA in his first leading role, and a lottery-based advance ticket sale for ICEx COOLer BOX OTARO NAKAMURA has been announced!

Keigo Higashino's masterpiece novel "The Letter" is being adapted for the stage!
ICEx OTARO NAKAMURA will be taking on his first leading role, sharing the lead role with Takuya Sugimoto!

This masterpiece novel depicts the suffering endured by the families of criminals, the deep-rooted discrimination and prejudice in society, and the bonds of family, through the story of a brother who commits robbery and murder, and his younger brother whose life is turned upside down by the crime.

The older brother committed the crime. However, that crime casts a shadow over the younger brother's education, love life, job prospects, and even marriage.
"What does it mean to atone for one's crimes?" "To what extent must the perpetrator's family bear responsibility?"
One of Keigo Higashino's representative works, which sharply depicts both human goodness and cruelty, will be performed as a new stage production.

Please pay attention!
