Naka no Shibai
Naka no Shibai (中の芝居, Central Theatre), also known as Naka-za (中座), was one of the major kabuki theatres in Osaka, Japan.
History
It was first built in 1652, in Osaka's Dotonbori entertainment district, and saw the premieres of many famous plays; closely related to the nearby jōruri theatres, Naka would often be the first to adapt puppet plays to the kabuki stage, and often also arranged the Kamigata (Kansai) premieres of plays earlier performed in Edo. Also tied closely to other theatres in the area, and the general theatre culture and community of Kamigata, Naka hosted a number of competitions between actors and troupes, as well as reconciliation ceremonies between actors who had been feuding, and a variety of other theatrical community events.
Some of the plays premiered at the Naka no Shibai include Natsu Matsuri Naniwa Kagami (1745), Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (Aug. 1748), and Kanadehon Chūshingura (Dec. 1748) which was first performed as a puppet play six months earlier. Ichi-no-Tani Futaba Gunki was first performed in Osaka, at the Naka no Shibai, in 1752, as was Meiboku Sendai Hagi in 1777.

I See Stars
by: KnuxI need, I need your love like the flowers need the sun
To grow and reach the sky, let us try to be as one
I need to feel your love, I need you deep inside
Put me on your rocket ship and take me out of sight
I see stars. Can you see them, too?
I see stars. Can you see them, too?

I see stars. Can you see them, too?
Yeah, visions break is the man that froze them solid
Getting my hands up in your pocket
Before the rocket ship that's rockin' (Rockin', rockin')
You're the Venus with the fly trap
Legs up, your eyes fat
You can chew on this like Trident
You can try this, then try that
Spectrals
It's the Haley's Comet in the bedroom
You pour sugar on this entity
As he promised you'll be blessed soon
Freedom
He gives you the energy of the gods
With the ménage-a-trois mossad
Till the applause
I see stars. Can you see them, too?
