About this listen
This week on Bento Radio, I take a deep dive into Inu-Oh — the electrifying historical rock opera from Science SARU.
Set in 14th-century Japan after the fall of the Heike clan, Inu-Oh follows two outcasts — a blind biwa player and a physically deformed Noh performer — who transform forgotten war stories into explosive, rebellious stage performances. But beneath the glam-rock spectacle and surreal animation lies something sharper: a story about disability, censorship, power, and who gets to control cultural memory.
In this episode, I explore:
- How the film reimagines traditional Noh theater as counterculture
- The role of disability and “otherness” in medieval Japanese society
- Why the shogunate fears art that inspires people
- The tension between state-approved narratives and buried history
- And why this movie feels even more relevant today
Inu-Oh isn’t just visually stunning — it’s a meditation on art as resistance. And while its final act hits hard emotionally, its themes linger long after the music fades.
