The Legend of saint Yatsurugi

Because of a comment Aiba hasn't announced anything new yet....
I just received a mail from H.A.style with the following message:

Aiba will this summer (June) in a stage play called: "The Legend of St. Yatsurugi" [If I translate it correctly]

Some site on the internet says this about the Legend:

According to a legend, the area around here was called Yaturugi Village, and the deity of
this area was called the Yaturugi Deity. (Yatsurugi means eight swords.) During the reign of
Keiko Emperor, his son, Yamato Takeru was making his way towards theeastern area of
Japan to conquer it.

When he crossed the Uraga Channel, a fierce rainstorm occurred and the ship was almost
capsized Princess Tachibana said "This is because you said that when you saw the channel
you said that the sea was so small that you could jump it and cross it easily."

Suddenly she threw herself from the ship to ease the deity's anger.

Then Takeru crossed the sea snd reached Yaturugi Village.

He lamented over his wife's death and stayed at the village for some time. This is the origin
of the place- name, Kisarazu.

I am not sure which role he'll be playing. Somehow that information isn't available [or is am just not searching good enough]  As his name is listed first everywhere, so if it's about the story above I get the feeling he'll be playing the role of Takeru [the lead role]

This musical will also feature: Baba Ryouma, Nishinosono Tatsuhiro, Morikubo Shoutarou, DIAMOND✡YUKAI (Tadokoro Yutaka) and Kurosu Hirotsuge (??)

It's sounds interesting, right?
