Overview

Geki×Cine “The Tale of the Red Demon” (Akaoni Monogatari) brings the high-octane theatrical energy of Gekidan Shinkansen to the silver screen. Based on the 2025 stage production that marked the troupe’s 45th anniversary, this “Geki×Cine” version utilizes cutting-edge cinematography and sound design to recreate the live stage experience with a cinematic flair. Written by Go Aoki and directed by the visionary Hidenori Inoue, the story reimagines classic folklore with the troupe’s signature blend of intense action, emotional depth, and spectacular visual effects.

The film stars Hikaru Yuzuka, Tomoki Saotome, and Hiroki Suzuki, leading an ensemble cast through a dark yet beautiful fairy tale. The plot follows the sorrow of a woman born as a “red demon” and her struggle for identity and connection in a world that fears her. This production represents a seamless fusion of stage performance and film, allowing audiences nationwide to experience the scale and intimacy of the original theater run through high-definition projections and immersive audio.

Faqs

What is a Movie Ticket Card and how does it differ from a standard ticket?

A Movie Ticket Card (Mubichike) is a physical, collectible card featuring original artwork from the film. It serves as an advance ticket that can be used to reserve seats online or at the theater counter, often coming with digital bonuses for the purchaser.

Will the film include English subtitles for international viewers?

Most standard Geki×Cine screenings in Japan are presented in Japanese without English subtitles. However, select theaters may offer “Japanese Subtitle” screenings starting in the second week of release to assist those with hearing impairments, which can also be helpful for students of the language.

Is there a difference between the General Single ticket and the Pair ticket?

The Pair ticket is designed for two people to attend together and often features a unique design compared to the single card. Both ticket types offer a discount over the day-of-performance price at the theater box office, but they must be purchased before the film’s official release date.

What should I do if my physical Movie Ticket Card does not arrive in time?

If your physical card has not arrived within the scheduled shipping period, you should contact the Ticket Pia Support Center with your order details. Jasumo can assist with this communication to ensure your ticket is tracked and delivered before your planned screening date.

How long is the total runtime of the Geki×Cine screening?

The screening is estimated to be approximately one hundred eighty-nine minutes long. To maintain the authenticity of the theater experience, the film includes a scheduled intermission, allowing viewers a break similar to the one provided during the original live stage performance.
