Uehara has been more active in butais, lately. And now, after more than 10 years, she gets to act with a member of Johnny's again. This time, she'll be sharing the stage with Fumito Kawai from A.B.C-Z. in the stage play Nodo Jiman.

The musical comedy is based on Nodo Jiman ("Proud of my voice") is a real tv contest that features amateur singers. Its historical importance lays on the fact that the first competition was held on the radio in 1946, just after the end of WWII.
This particular story takes place 10 years after the events that took place in the homonym movie that aired in 1999, where Reiko Akagi won the contest. Real enka artist Masako Mori takes the main role as Reiko, who now struggles with her decreasing popularity. Fumito Kawai is part of the ensemble cast, who plays the role of Sugai, her new manager, who has been recently fired from his old job and wants to make a better living to get married to his fianceé, played by Takako Uehara, who has always been passionate about music.

After taking an indefinite hiatus from show business, she will appear in the new Takufes stageplay "Kuchizuke".
The butai was written by Takayuki Takuma, based on a true story from newspaper article published 10 years ago. It was first performed in 2010 and also had a movie based on it, Angel Home, which came out in 2013.
"The story focuses on a famous mangaka who moves into the Angel Home as a live-in on-site staffer to be with his daughter Mako. Mako, while being a full-grown adult female, has the mentality of a small child. Being concerned for Mako's well being, the mangaka moves into the home to make sure that she'll do well. At the same time, he thinks about leaving and going back to being a mangaka provided that Mako is safe at the Angel Home. But, things take an interesting turn for him and those that live inside the Angel Home as a result." 1
