Synopsis of “9 Lost Okinawans”
In 1972, before Okinawa's return to the mainland, nine people, including housewives, old women who experienced the war, and mainlanders who emigrated to Okinawa, were gathered in one room. Thoughts on Okinawa, feelings for Japan, and war and permanent peace told from their respective positions and experiences... The various thoughts of the nine people intersect and eventually flow into a whirlpool that intersects with the present. (Running time: 1 hour 50 minutes)

Geki Gloss Adult Group Profile
In 2011, adults who cannot perform, stimulated by the adult band formation boom, gathered, and formed to express themselves using their bodies and voices. Three people presided over by Toyama Shoichi, Anwa Asahiko, and Anwa Gakuji gathered members to launch the “Drama Gloss Adult Group”, and performed the contemporary drama “Uchikabi” by the original script in June of the same year. It consists of members of various occupations, such as cafe owners, real estate presidents, photographers, prefectural office employees, office workers, post office workers, and actors. When adults get serious about “adults have to dream and realize them, they can't talk about dreams with children,” they can do such wonderful things. In 2015, “Okinawa Arts and Culture Box” was established as a production company. In 2013, a practice hall “Mekari Base” was opened in Meikari, Naha City, and various activities through theater are carried out in various parts of the prefecture. It is an original screenplay for all works set in Okinawa, and incorporates Uchinaguchi everywhere, a contemporary play. It features works that can be watched and enjoyed by three generations of parents and children, from children to the elderly.
