Engage with Love: 'How to Make a Love Song'

Get ready for an unforgettable interactive theatre experience with 'How to Make a Love Song', presented by Onpuma, running from October 28 to October 30, 2025, at the lively SOOO dramatic! venue in Tokyo's Taito Ward. This inventive performance encourages audiences of all ages and backgrounds to transcend barriers of language and ability, making it a unique opportunity for everyone.

An Overview of the Production
Onpuma is known for its innovative use of theatre as a universal language. Since its inception, the organization has merged music and storytelling to create theatrical pieces that resonate deeply with audiences. 'How to Make a Love Song' continues this tradition, emphasizing inclusivity and audience participation. Led by Yu Okuda, the music and concept creator, and directed by Ei Sugai, the performance promises an engaging fusion of comedy, sign language, and musical drama.

A Whimsical Story Awaits
The narrative revolves around musician John and his companion Mickey as they make their way to a best friend's wedding. However, a torrential downpour leaves them stranded at the airport, unable to rehearse the love song intended for the ceremony. Similarly, the bride's friend, singer Chieko, faces her own challenges aboard a bullet train that is stuck, further complicating their efforts. The story becomes even more complex as the bride's sister, Emiri, navigates the help of Emma, who is on a working holiday from abroad, as they all strive to create the perfect love song against all odds.

The performance is designed to immerse the audience in the unfolding action, encouraging them to participate as wedding guests or fellow travelers, thus shaping the final outcome of the story. In this way, the production fosters a collaborative spirit and an interactive atmosphere where language is no longer a barrier.

Bringing Accessibility to the Forefront
Catering to diverse audiences, Onpuma will host performances with accessible features, including Japanese captions for hearing-impaired viewers and English subtitles to accommodate non-Japanese speakers. By actively promoting inclusivity, the production aims to ensure that everyone can participate and enjoy the intricate weave of relationships and emotions that arise in this vibrant tale.
