50sSNIPES commented about Aoikan Theater on Feb 22, 2026 at 6:51 am

I cannot find as much details about this one, rather than the Aoikan Theater opened around 1915 and closed around 1935. It was located on 30 Tameike, Akasaka Ward, Tokyo. After the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1923, it was damaged by both the quake and a fire, and was both redesigned and reopened in 1924.

However, I can confirm that the theater building was a shack building designed by Yoshikawa Seisaku, who also designed the Kanda Nikkatsu Theater, and the stage curtain featured a distinctive relief created by the MAVO group led by Murayama Tomoyoshi. It screened foreign films including American movies.

Loews actually closed the Carousel on August 31, 1990, not July. There is also a strange appearance on its showtimes the following day on the Cincinnati Enquirer that reads “COPY D TO COME?”
