Prince Kaguya is a Japanese musical loosely based on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. This version incorporates multiple aspects of modern culture as well as changes Kaguya's gender from female to male.The story takes place in feudal Japan where Kaguya (Shouta Aoi) is found in a bamboo forest as a baby with a note from his mother asking for the child to be raised as a girl to ensure its safety. Kaguya grows up to be a beautiful "woman", the subject of much attention, and even becomes an idol under the stage name Luna. As Luna gains popularity, Kaguya is invited to sing for the Emperor, and on his way there he meets a man named San (Masato Saki), who was about to take his own life. Kaguya however convinces him not to and San finds himself attracted to Kaguya's desire to make people happy. Eventually, Kaguya and San travel together, with reciprocated feelings for one another but San is unaware that Kaguya is male. Throughout the play, Kaguya struggles with the thought that San may not love him after he tells him that he is not female. This, coupled with the fact that two of Kaguya's suitors end up chasing the pair down on their journey, make for a complex situation for Kaguya. Will he be able to somehow find his happily ever after with San?
