About Akechi Kogorou's Incident Report -The Black Lizard- / Tuxedo Jazz
Takarazuka Flower Troupe 2007 performance. Based on Edogawa Rampo's novel The Black Lizard, which has had many movie and play adaptations. The Takarazuka version will be brimming over with period romance, set at the turn of the Taisho/Heiwa Eras. As the tale of thrills and suspense between the gloomy and reclusive great detective Akechi Kogorou and the master of disguise and female thief the Black Lizard (who is forever switching between western clothing and kimono) unfolds, it comes to a conclusion different from Mishima Yukio's version. Tuxedo Jazz was the associated revue show.
Directed by Kimura Shinji, Akechi Kogorou's Incident Report -The Black Lizard- / Tuxedo Jazz leans on a strong ensemble — Sumire Haruno, Sakurano Ayane, You Natsumi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2007.
