Overview

Konton vol. 8 is the eighth installment of the AOI Pro. Comedy Performance Series, dedicated to showcasing original and modern comedy skits. This volume is presented as a special double-feature, bringing together two distinct short omnibus comedies written and directed by two highly respected creators in the Japanese entertainment industry: Akari Atsuo and Manbou Yashiro.

The performance features a captivating ensemble cast drawn from different areas of Japanese entertainment, including Komori Hayato (of the popular group GENERATIONS), former idol Watanabe Miho, actor Makishima Teru, and comedian Iwakura (of the comedy duo Kaerutei). The two distinct works in the double-feature, titled “Mugenkaeshi” (written/directed by Akari Atsuo) and “Ouen Henkan” (written/directed by Manbou Yashiro), explore themes ranging from post-accident memory loss to the complex dynamics of modern-day “support” and fandom culture.
