The annual solo live performance by the comedy duo Nakagawa-ke, titled 'Nakagawa-ke's Giant Rakugo 2026,' will be held on August 15–16, 2026, at Lumine the Yoshimoto in Tokyo, and on August 22–23, 2026, at Namba Grand Kagetsu in Osaka. Due to the show's immense popularity and consistently sold-out tickets, a live viewing event will be held on August 16 (Sunday) at AEON Cinemas across Japan to reach more fans.

For the poster visual, Hollywood Zakoshishou, a fellow classmate of Nakagawa-ke from NSC Osaka Class 11, has once again created an original illustration. Limited-edition merchandise featuring this artwork will also be available for sale.

Comments from Nakagawa-ke:

[Go]

This season has come around again. I'll do my best.

[Riji]

We're doing live viewing again this time.

For those who can't make it to the theater, please enjoy it at your nearest AEON Cinema!
