Chance to Get Tickets for Popular Rakugo Performances! Pia Rakugo Zanmai Membership Pre-sale Starts! First Up: Mimayate Bimyō Solo Performance

Pia Corporation's video distribution service, "Pia Rakugo Zanmai," which allows unlimited viewing of Rakugo performance videos for a flat monthly fee, is now collaborating with the Ticket Pia service to offer "Pia Rakugo Zanmai Member Pre-sale," enabling members to apply for Rakugo performance tickets in advance.

The first installment of the Pia Rakugo Zanmai Member Pre-sale features Mimayate Bimyō Solo Performance 『Shin-Bimyō Gekijō, Kaimaku!』 (June 12th (Fri) at Kinokuniya Hall), produced by performing arts photographer Renji Tachibana.

Mimayate Bimyō joined the Rakugo world under master Bashū Suzusensha in February 2018 and was promoted to the rank of "Nitsume" (second rank) in November 2023. This year marks her third year as a Nitsume. Before becoming a Rakugo performer, she worked for an esthetic company, and her experience in various professions during her apprenticeship has honed her character portrayals, for which she is well-regarded. She is a rising star expected to captivate audiences with her unique worldview and storytelling, especially in new Rakugo pieces.

The venue, Shinjuku Kinokuniya Hall, is a place where Danjuro Tachikawa once held his "Hitorikai" (solo performances) and where many masters have delivered brilliant performances. This is the first time a Nitsume Rakugo performer will hold a solo performance in this historic hall. Furthermore, a special collaboration with her long-admired master since her student days, Kyōtarō Yanagiya, will be realized as a supporting performer.

The "Pia Rakugo Zanmai Member Pre-sale" for this performance is accepting applications from today, March 31st (Tue), until April 12th (Sun) at 23:59. Eligibility for winning tickets is limited to paid members of Pia Rakugo Zanmai. Those who are currently on a trial membership or unregistered can also be eligible if they register as a paid member within the application period.

The "Pia Rakugo Zanmai Member Pre-sale" plans to offer advance ticket sales for future Rakugo performances as well. Please look forward to it.
