Due to insistent demand, Teatro Akebono restaged the musical play The CraneDog, penned by Michiko Yamamoto, in 2010. The CraneDog is the story of many Japanese-Filipino children. It is about a person’s search for his true self, for his identity. It is also about family.

In May 2010, the play was presented in the following places: St. Scholatica’s College in Manila on May 11; Urawa Catholic Church in Saitama on May 14; Shinanoki in Nagano on May 16; Numata in Gunma on May 17; Yokohama National University on May 18; Nagoya University on May 21; Osaka University on May 25; and, Kasuga-Higashi Elementary School in Fukuoka on May 28”.
