Mami & Hiro Flamenco Campany
SONEZAKI The Love Suicide at Sonezaki
Original: Monzaemon Chikamatsu
Starring, Choreography and Direction: Mayumi Kagita “Mami” & Hiroki Sato “Hiro”
Production and Lyrics: Yoko Aki Composition and Music Supervision: Ryudo Uzaki
Program notes
Awesome marriage between flamenco and Japanese classics
“Cante (vocal of flamenco)” sung in Japanese
for the first time ever in the history of flamenco
There are two trials in this work.
MMOne is that how to express Chikamatsu-Monzaemon’s world
of Japanese emotion and pathos. The other is how to play the entire
original work with lyrics in Japanese.
MMMayumi Kagita and Hiroki Sato outline the story at a quick
tempo using boldly dramatic techniques. Furthermore, there are
original movements in the choreography based on the flamenco at
1
every turn in order to explain the story. Clear away
the restrictions of flamenco, and the audience can be
brought into tune with the world of Chikamatsu.
The real significance of flamenco lies in the emotional expressions that are passionate and real. They give power to their choreography, when they express
the emotions and the pathos of Japan.
MMThis work challenges to marry flamenco with a
Japanese classic.
MMKagita and Sato have challenged to depict the Japanese emotional world, “Love Suicide” through
flamenco, which they have been able to do with tremendous success.It is much more than the mixture of
the flamenco techniques and Japanese culture. Here, through this
work, we cannot help but believe that “The Love Suicide at Sonezaki” has to be played by the art of flamenco, because the spirit of
flamenco acts in concert with the spiritual world of
Japanese culture.
MMAnd the dancers’ perfetly trained bodies express
the heartbreaking spiritual world of Chikamatsu.
MMIt has been a taboo to sing flamenco in foreign
languages other than Spanish. Flamenco consists of
Dance, Guitar and Cante (vocal), three in one.
“Cante” is the most crucial part of flamenco. The
rhythm of flamenco is inalienable from that of the
Spanish language.
MMThe lyrics written by Yoko Aki keep this work
within the frameworks of flamenco. The music composed by Ryudo Uzaki is more melodious than usual
flamenco scores, which helps to make this play more appealing. His
music is elaborately arranged by all the other musicians such as pianist Yuji Tanaka and guitarist Takashi Suzuki. Sato’s dance, full of
melody and Uzaki’s free, diligent approach to flamenco are the keys
to the incredible music that compose this play. Apart from the main
flamenco guitar, there are Japanese classical instruments such as
“Wadaiko”(Japanese percussion), “Shinobue” ( Japanese flute), “Tosabiwa”(Japanese guitar) accompanied by the piano and Latin percussions.

Synopsis
Tragic story of intense love that actually happened early in the 18th
century. In Sonezaki, Osaka Japan, a young man by the name of
Tokubei who worked at the soy sauce shop of his uncle and Ohatsu, a girl who worked at Tenmaya (brothel) loved each other and
had promised to get married in the future. However Tokubei’s uncle wanted to let his hardworking nephew marry his daughter. Because Tokubei never agreed to this, his uncle gave a great sum
of money to the woman that raised Tokubei, in exchange for her approval—which was against the Tokubei’s will. Knowing this situation, Tokubei insited that Ohatsu was the only girl for him, but his
uncle never listened. Tokubei went to see the woman who raised
him, and went through much trouble to get back the money.
MMOn his way to his uncle’s shop to return the money, Tokubei came across his best friend, Kuheiji. Kuheiji begged Tokubei to lend
him the money saying that he was desperately in need of money and
would return it as soon as possible. Subsequently the kind Tokubei
lent all of the money to his friend.
3
MMAnd it was never returned.
MMIn the meantime, Ohatsu was asked to marry a customer of Tenmaya.
MMSometime later, when Tokubei and Ohatsu met in the grounds
of temple, not knowing what to do with themselves, they came
across Kuheij with a few of the town’s people. Tokubei asked Kuheiji to return the money, but Kuheiji insisted that he never borrowed any money. Additionally Kuheiji told everyone that Tokubei
illegally appropriated the shop’s money. The whole town believed
Kuheiji’s lie.
MMDisappointed, Tokubei hid himself from prying eyes and got inside Tenmaya.Ohatsu hid Tokubei. Later, Kuheiji came to Tenmaya using the money he defrauded from his friend. Everything was
going as Kuheiji wished.
MMWorking at Tenmaya, Ohatsu was not able to choose who she
could marry. And poor Tokubei was accused of embezzlement,
which caused him to lose the trust of his uncle and also the reliability as a merchant. Ohatsu urged Tokubei that they should commit
double-suicide and get married in heaven because they would not
be able to do so in their current lives. Realizing situation and, that
Ohatsu was willing to give her life for him, Tokubei decided to commit suicide. The two secretly left Tenmaya and headed to the forest
of Sonezaki, where they pledged eternal love.
The original writer Monzaemon Chikamatsu
1653–1724
The original piece The Love Suicide at Sonezaki
The writer of Japanese puppet shows. Created various masterworks such as “The Love Suicide at Sonezaki” and “The Love Suicide at Amijima” in which he depicted human dramas of the general public in both modern and contemporary history.
Born in the family of a samurai, Chikamatsu soon became a masterless samurai.
MThis caused him to discard his warriorship, and dedicate himself to the performing arts.
MChikamatsu lived in the age of the mature phase of Kabuki and
Bunraku , when Japanese puppet shows and Kabuki were the major forms of entertainments. Chikamatsu soon took on the heading role in these forms of entertainment. Furthermore, he is not
only the founder of Sewajorurim but was the most important writer in Japanese history—helping to form today’s Kabuki and Bunraku styles.
Chikamatsu’s magnum opus actually took place in Sonezaki.
Firstly played at Takemoto theater in 1703, this work went on to
be a huge hit.
M“The Love Suicide at Sonezaki” was the first Puppet show (Sewajoruri) in the Sewakyogen style of Kabuki. There already were
many plays based on the true story from the double-suicides, however Chikamatsu’s pieces differed in the fact that he depicted
the story not as a spectacle but through the eyes of the protagonists. Chikamatsu succeeded in writing the tragedy because he depicted the purity of the young couple who cherished their strong
love and honor even at the dismay of the public. The protagonists
could not avoid the destruction however it shows how passionately they lived as human beings. To fulfill the wants in heaven that
could not had been accomplished in this world is a very Japanese
expression of “salvation.”

Sonezaki
The Love Suicide at Sonezaki
Japanese traditional performing arts, Kabuki and Bunraku depicted by flamenco
“Cante (vocal)” in Japanese for the first time ever in the history of flamenco
Dancers that express Japanese classical world of pathos
Unprecedented Flamenco Entertainment accomplished through the fusion of various new ideas
Backgrounds
This work is based on the story “The Love Story at Sonezaki” of
Chikamatsu Monzaemon, the representative of Japan’s Bunraku
and Kabuki authors. The work “The Love Suicide at Sonezaki” has
been performed for over 300 years.

MM“Flamenco
The Love Suicide at Sonezaki” was born by the
meeting of the producer, Yoko Aki, the music composer RyudoUzaki and the dancers and choreographers, Mayumi Kagita and
Hiroki Sato. Aki and Uzaki first made the rock version of this story
20 years ago, but after getting acquainted with Kagita and Sato, the
idea of the flamenco version was born.
MMKagita and Sato are Japan’s top flamenco dancers and choreographers. Keeping in touch with the original roots of flamenco, as
Japanese, these two very talented artists also continued to incorporate original ideas into their works while testing the endless possibilities of flamenco. Ironically, when Aki and Uzaki spoke to them
about “The Love Suicide at Sonezaki”, Kagita and Sato were also
thinking about performing one of the double-suicide stories of
Chikamatsu-Monzaemon.
MMThis is how this Japanese love story came to be performed in
the flamenco style. This work was first played in 2001 and was a
great success, which helped it to receive a Cultural Affairs Agency
Art Festival Award and was loved by flamenco and other music and
dance fans in Japan.
MMConsequently, the show was performed at the Theater Space
Zero (three times) in 2002. And in December 2003, it is going to be
performed 7times at the honorable Le Theatre GINZA.
