●Tomomi Taninoue solo play “Let's Do It by Yuntaku”
Tomomi Tanigami has a mother from Urasoe City. My grandmother, who still lives in Urasoe, lost eight parents, brothers and sisters in an instant in the Battle of Okinawa, and escaped alone. I decided to create this stage in order to convey the importance of life and the importance of peace that my grandmother connected me to.
Through plays, he appeals to the whole country and even the world about human rights, the preciousness of life, the importance of peace, and human love, including conveying “living your own way,” which is Taninoue's own life's work.

When producing the screenplay, Taninoue, along with playwright Miyu Higuchi and a local Okinawa guide, took the time to trace the site of the Battle of Okinawa, cattails, and castles and learned a lot of things. Also, I took the time to listen to my grandmother who survived the fierce battle alone and was taken prisoner of war amid a strong feeling that “it must never be weathered” and the conflict of “I want to forget it.” Documentaries are the base of the stage screenplay.
