Overview

“My Song Boogie Woogie – The Story of Kasagi Shizuko” is a biographical stage production celebrating the life of the renowned Japanese jazz singer and actress, Kasagi Shizuko (1914–1985). Dubbed the “Queen of Boogie” in the post-war era, Kasagi became an inspirational figure who cheered up a devastated nation with her energetic performances and signature boogie-woogie songs, most famously “Tokyo Boogie-Woogie.”

This highly anticipated production explores her dramatic life, including her rise to fame, her relationship with composer Ryoichi Hattori (whose grandson, Takayuki Hattori, is the musical director), and her perseverance through the war years, single motherhood, and the challenges of Japanese society. The performance features a talented cast, with Midoriko Kimura taking on the role of Shizuko Kasagi.

Staged at the intimate Mitsukoshi Theater in Tokyo for a limited run in the new year, this performance offers a moving and historically significant glimpse into a pioneering female artist’s life. Tickets are being released via a lottery pre-order followed by a general sale, making Jasumo’s assistance crucial for securing seats.

Disclaimer

Jasumo provides a specialized facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, assisting with ticket acquisition for cultural events like Europe Kikaku’s 44th Performance “Internet Island Explorer” Tour through authorized platforms like Pia. We are not a ticket reseller and do not sell tickets directly. Our role is to guide international customers through the official booking process, addressing challenges such as:

• Language Barriers: Japanese-only ticketing systems; Jasumo offers bilingual support.
• Local Platforms: Assistance with lottery registration, payments, and e-ticket delivery.
• High Demand: ~300–1,500 seats per venue and troupe’s cult following create sellout risks; we manage deadlines for prime chances.

Securing tickets is not guaranteed. Book via Jasumo by venue deadlines (e.g., Nov 5, 2025, for Tokyo) for official ¥8,500 pricing to avoid resales. For travel planning, we can coordinate with regional tourism boards.
