This play was based on the short novel called 'Run, Melos!!' by Osamu Dazai (famous Japanese author). The story teaches you the importance of trust and friendship. Due to this educational theme, it has been used for Japanese textbooks for the school subjects such as National Language and Moral Studies.
Haha, I bet Yuzu really wanted to play the main character, Melos (the one in white and blue) instead of one of the bandits. Once he admitted that he likes being the centre of attention and always liked to play a main character in school plays!!! Ah well, he is now 'tono', so he should be very happy!!!
