The second part of the "New Kabuki: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," a kabuki adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki's manga version of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." This kabuki adaptation covers the entire epic story of the original seven-volume manga, which was not depicted in the anime film directed by Miyazaki himself. The stage production was performed at the Shinbashi Enbujō Theatre as a daytime (first part) and evening (second part) continuous performance, and this is a filmed recording of that acclaimed stage. Kikunosuke Onoe plays the protagonist Nausicaä, and Shichinosuke Nakamura plays Princess Kushana, Nausicaä's adversary. The script was written by Keiko Niwa, who has worked on many Studio Ghibli films such as "Tales from Earthsea" and "The Secret World of Arrietty." Direction was handled by G2, who also directed "New Kabuki: NARUTO." This second part includes Act 4 "Great Tsunami," Act 5 "Forest of Purification," Act 6 "Awakening of the God Warrior," and the Grand Finale "Secrets of the Shrine of Shuwa" from the total of seven acts. The stage performance at Shinbashi Enbujō from December 6 to 25, 2019, was filmed and screened as a delay viewing at Tōgeki, Shinjuku Piccadilly, and other venues in February 2020 (first part: February 14–20, 2020; second part: February 28–March 5, 2020, each for a limited one-week run).
