allkpop



On June 7th, Niigaki Risa, who recently graduated from the idol group Morning Musume, attended a presentation for the stage play "Tumbling vol.3".

In the play, the former leader of Morning Musume plays the captain of a female rhythmic gymnastics club. "I'll do my best to give a spendidly girlish performance," she said to those present at the event, full of fighting spirit. She then said with a laugh, "I've been dancing for ten years so I was okay with the dancing part, but this is the first time I've ever tried rhythmic gymnastics. I still haven't gotten the ribbon in my hand even once, so I'm nervous that it's going to tangle or something."

The play is the third adaptation of the April, 2011 drama broadcast on TBS, and illustrates the hardships the high school girls on the rhythmic gymnastics team go through. Yanagishita Tomo, who plays the lead character in the play, said with delight, "The play is one that I really treasure, I'm incredibly happy that I was able to be in this play one more time."

On the same day, it was revealed that they would be making a return to the Akasaka ACT Theater from September 21st through 23rd. "VOL.1 and 2 had performed at the ACT Theater, so we went to check it out. I'm so happy that we'll be able to do tumbling there," said Yanagishita.

The play will be performed at the Tokyo International Forum Hall C from August 8th through 12th, and again in Osaka at Theater BRAVA! from the 17th through the 19th.
