Overview

“Shining Women” is an ensemble drama by acclaimed playwright Ryuta Horai, marking his first collaboration with actress Yuriko Yoshitaka. This poignant production depicts the intertwined lives of women grappling with survival, as their lonely present and glorious past converge around one woman’s death.

Starring Yoshitaka, Honami Sato, Hinako Sakurai, Zuru Onodera, Nagi Hasegawa, Sojin Lee, Tatsu Namura, and Sayaka Yamaguchi, the play runs from December 7, 2025, to January 30, 2026, across five venues: PARCO Theater (Tokyo), Morinomiya Piloti Hall (Osaka), Ueda City Cultural Arts Center Large Hall (Nagoya), Niterra Village Hall (Aichi), and Fukuoka Civic Hall Medium Hall (Fukuoka).

Praised on X for its “raw emotional depth” and “powerful performances,” the show explores themes of resilience and connection. Tickets are ¥12,500 (all seats reserved, Aichi), with U-30 tickets at ¥7,500 (Tokyo/Fukuoka, ID required, sold out). General sales are open until December 25, 2025 (Tokyo), November 7, 2025 (Osaka), January 17, 2026 (Nagoya), and January 17, 2026 (Fukuoka).

Located near cultural hubs like Shibuya, Namba, and Hakata, the venues are ideal for exploring Tokyo’s Harajuku or Osaka’s Dotonbori. Secure tickets early via Jasumo due to high demand and limited seating.
