Memi Tamura herself wrote, directed, starred in, and sang, and the one-day performance “Come Back to Me Memi Tamura One-man Play Concert” was held on Tamura’s birthday, October 30th. It will be premiered on Wednesday at 21:00.
This work is currently on sale as a video work (Blu-ray/DVD). The drama, which unfolds on the main character’s birthday, was specially released in hopes of people watching it on Tamura’s own birthday. The release period will be until October 31st (Thursday) 23:59.
The setting is a show pub on the edge of the city. The only actor is a woman (Memi Tamura) who sings and dances at the show pub. The singer’s role is to perform a variety of songs in response to customer requests. It will entertain with the theme of a cosplay song show, including “Instinct” (Ringo Shiina), “Matsuri Mambo” (Hibari Misora), and “Rum’s Love Song” (Urusei Yatsura theme). Meanwhile, in the dressing room separated by a single curtain, after singing “Dream Girls” (Beyoncé), she was cursing, saying, “I don’t understand English songs,” and was pretending to be the other side, complaining and sighing, and hurriedly putting on her costumes. A bold production that shows the scene of changing clothes as it is.
From the middle of the stage, events that happen to the singer, whose birthday is today, unfold dramatically… Her emotions were released, and the meaning of the title “Come back to me” was revealed, and the unprecedented stage was filled with great emotion.
