Kentaro Yamazaki | Lolo 'Ultra Soulmate'
Lolo presents 'Ultra Soulmate', a dialogue play following two boys' growth and the weight of past memories.Summary
Lolo staged the new play 'Ultra Soulmate', directed by Naoyuki Miura, at Tokyo Art Theatre East from May 15 to 24, 2026. The story follows two boys, Shukufumi Ichibae and Lily Riri, who meet in 1998 as fourth‑grade students and grow into adulthood. Presented as a dialogue‑drama, the production weaves personal memories, the loneliness of unshared experiences, and historical events such as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster, using the metaphor of constellations to explore the continuity and gaps in human relationships. Lolo infuses early‑stage fantasy elements, portraying past shadows as “stone monsters,” and invites the audience to confront how to accept the irretrievable past while living in the present.
