Description

Murobushi and Carlotta moved their pivot of activities from the cabaret to strip theaters in order to make money for their performances, as cabaret had been declining at the time. Murobushi arranged strip performances to be revue performances at strip theaters in Nishinari, Osaka. He struggled and worked hard to satisfy guests who came to see strip dances, choreographing a show more erotic than simply displaying female genitals.

They started a rehearsal on the morning of December 31st and continued until midnight, to the complaints of the lightning and sound technicians. It was the first time for the theater manager to make a flyer for only one group.

They had a full house for each night and the theater gave them a bonus. Appearing in the TV program “11PM” may have been one of the reasons for this success.
