Noguchi Koichi Domoto reflects on 24-year Shock journey. On November 8, Koichi Domoto,
the star of the musical Endless Shock, held a press conference and rehearsals at Tokyo's
Imperial Theater. Since its debut in November 2000, Koichi, then just 21, has become the youngest actor
to lead a show at the Imperial Theater and has continued to perform annually, breaking records
with each sold-out run. Endless Shock has become a staple in the world of musical theater, emphasizing
the message of the show must go on. Koichi has consistently set the highest record for solo lead
performances in Japan, recently achieving an incredible milestone of 2,100 performances,
which is virtually unmatched worldwide. Looking forward to 2024, the show will tour various cities,
including Tokyo and Osaka, concluding its run at the Imperial Theater on November 29,
marking the end of an extraordinary 24-year journey. Reflecting on the past, Koichi noted,
I felt a sense of finality as we returned to the Imperial Theater. Every moment,
from the initial rehearsals to our last dress rehearsal, has been filled with mixed emotions.
Despite this, he emphasized the importance of treating every performance as if it were the
opening night, keeping his focus on giving his all. In an exciting twist, the four-member group,
FOUYU, reunites for the first time in 12 years as they appear in Endless Shock.
Member Yuta Matsuzaki shared, This stage feels like our origin as a group. It's deeply meaningful
to be back together where it all started. As fans await the final performances, the spirit
of Endless Shock continues to resonate with audiences and cast alike. Nogiza Koichi Domoto
completes his final Shock performance. Koichi Domoto recently concluded the final rehearsals
for his iconic musical series, Shock. Since November 2000, his performances have broken
records, and the upcoming shows in May at the Imperial Theater mark the start of the end for
21:01
this beloved series. Following the final rehearsal on November 8, Koichi and fellow cast members
shared their excitement about the upcoming performances. As Koichi reflected on his
journey, he expressed, When I was performing in regional shows, I didn't quite grasp that this
was the last time. Now, every moment feels significant as I prepare for this final presentation.
The last rival role is played by Ryuta Ueda from Cat-Tun, who stated, My goal this month is to
wholeheartedly support Koichi. To add to the excitement, the group FOUYU is coming together
for the first time in 10 years for this production. They reminisced about their first encounter in
Shock, highlighting how their name was inspired from this very series. In a light-hearted moment,
Koichi joked about the lively energy FOUYU would bring, saying, Just two of you are loud enough,
but with four, it's going to feel like a zoo. Moreover, there has been a shift in the cast
due to illness. Matsuura Jinshi, a junior actor, has stepped in as the replacement.
Koichi humorously reacted to Jinshi's young age, saying he couldn't believe his parents
are only in their 40s. As the show prepares for its grand finale, fans eagerly await the chance
to witness this powerful performance, marking the end of an incredible era.
Nogizaka 46 celebrates 24 years of Endless Shock. On November 8, Koichi Domoto of Kinki Kids and

on the lead role as the youngest director in the theater's history at the age of 21.
And the show has been performed annually, consistently selling out every performance.
The Shock series, based on the mantra The Show Must Go On, follows the journey of entertainer
Koichi and his company as they navigate their fate. Over 24 years, Koichi has continued to
