Where can I get this dvd? Please respond :)

[tiffenakou]

unfortunately it has not been released on DVD.

[JGMurakami]

Do you know where I can purchase this on DVD? (Region doesn't matter.)

[tiffenakou]

this was only broadcasted on TV. According to a news article last year, they couldn't perform together outside Japan due to "label conflict". I guess this also affects any DVD publication.

[JPandCo]

is this a performance created by tamasaburo or a kabuki play?

[tiffenakou]

this is a performance created by him and Kodo. He directed the show.
