◆ Reunion with Master Mitani Koki... Behind-the-scenes of the theater stage

Currently, Suda Masaki is starring in NHK's hot topic 'Moshimo Kono Yuga Butai Nara, Gakuya wa Doko ni Aru no Darou (If This World Were a Stage, Where Would the Waiting Room Be?)'.

Written by the master of Japanese comedy Mitani Koki, this drama is themed around youth and theater. Suda plays a young actor struggling in a theater troupe, receiving praise from viewers for his unique delicate emotional acting and comedic performance.

◆ Solo live concert after 1 year and 4 months... "See you in Tokyo next January"

His activities as a singer are also noteworthy. Suda recently announced on his official website that he will hold a solo concert 'Suda Masaki LIVE 2026' at the Tokyo Garden Theater on January 24 and 25, 2026.

This will be his first solo performance in about 1 year and 4 months since the successful arena tour 'SPIN' in September 2024. Fans are already anticipating a ticket war with the long-awaited live news.

◆ Even a film scripted by Kudo Kankuro... 2026 is 'Suda's Year'

A return to the screen is also in the works. Suda has taken the lead role in the movie 'Sunset Sunrise', which is set to be released on January 17, 2026.

This work is a human comedy written by the genius writer Miyafuji Kudo (Kudo Kankuro), known for 'Ikebukuro West Gate Park' and 'Amachan', directed by Kishi Yoshiyuki. It depicts the tumultuous adaptation of a man who moved from Tokyo to the countryside during the COVID-19 pandemic, promising warm laughter and touching moments.

Industry insiders say, "There is a reason why top creators in Japan like Mitani Koki and Kudo Kankuro are eager to work with Suda Masaki," adding, "His versatility, perfectly handling acting, music, and variety shows, will continue into 2026."
