The latest work by writer Mayumi Nakatani and director Kyoichi Itagaki, who have steadily gained popularity for their sad and warm comedies Beautiful Sunday, Paper Marriage and This Time for Loving Wives in the Third Stage SHOWCASE series, will make its first appearance at the Parco Theatre this spring. Set in the everyday life of contemporary Japan, the play carefully and carefully depicts the strengths, weaknesses and hidden sides of the characters. The seemingly serious story, lightly wrapped in a great sense of comedy, will make you laugh, feel sad, and feel sorry for yourself as you are drawn into the world, and in the end, you will love all the characters. A very orthodox, yet unlikely comedy. Well-made, but never scheduled, this play is sure to satisfy you beyond your expectations. We are proud to present "Father's Love - Family Tale" in the hope that more and more people will experience the happiness of watching a play. Please look forward to it.

Water Boys was a major sliver screen hit in 2001 that took the Japanese public by storm in depicting high school boys who pour all the passion of their youth into becoming synchronized swimmers. The year 2003 saw the start of a new TV series of the same name that maintained the overall atmosphere of the film while making new developments, and becoming a summer hit with the amazing synchronized swimming feats it depicted. And then in the summer of 2004 a second season of the series with fun and a sense of pathos opened, this time with a new town as the setting and depicting the passion, friendship and love of 32 boys who are absolutely nuts about synchronized swimming.The fascinating synchronized swimming scenes are more powerful than ever. In addition to the scenes of a public performance in the last installment, the show has loads of excitement and thrills throughout.
