The production press conference of stage play "Tooi Natsu no Gogh" (A Far Summer's Gogh) was held on 21 November which was attended by lead actor Matsuyama Kenichi, Minami, Tsutsui Michitaka and the director Nishida Shatona. This is Matsuyama's first attempt at a leading role in a stage play in his 11-year acting career. With regard to this, Matsuyama said that he is nervous about acting on stage because he is a newbie in this area but he is looking forward to working on this page. He plays the role of a cicada named Gogh who strives hard to win the affection of another cicada played by Minami while Tsutsui plays his cicada friend.

The play will be performed at Akasaka ACT Theatre from 3 February 2013 to 24 February 2013 and later at Osaka's Shin Kabukiza from 7 March to 10 March.
