In 2018, a new "Sailor Moon" performance show will be born, a song / dance × video gimmick!

"Sailor Moon" was first made into a musical in 1993, and after an 8 year hiatus, as part of the "Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Project" in 2013, a new musical was performed with an all-female cast. Following the summer performance in 2014, in January 2015 the first Chinese performance of the "Sailor Moon" musical was held in Shanghai, and the "Sailor Moon" musicals gained great popularity in the field. Today, many foreigners also visit Japan to watch the musicals, which are a big title representing 2.5 dimensional musicals. In 2017, a show was performed at Anime Matsuri in Houston, USA and was attended by 10,000 people. Even now, various projects are proceeding as part of the "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon 25th Anniversary Project."

And in 2018: This year marks the 160th anniversary of Friendship between Japan and France, so a decision was made to participate in the large Japanese culture event, "Japonism 2018," held in Paris, France! We will perform a new performance show that makes use of the charm of the original loved by people all over the world. Please look forward to "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon" which is taken up as one of Japanese pop culture!

As you may recall, when "Petite Etrangere" came out, the cast traveled to Paris to perform a few songs at Japan Expo. It sounds like "Sera Myu" is returning to Paris for a performance at Japonism 2018. Whether they'll be performing just a few songs, doing a new/truncated show like at Anime Matsuri, or performing a full musical is a bit unclear, but I'm excited to hear that things are still being done with the musicals. Hopefully this means they will follow through with bringing "Le Mouvement Final" to the States for performances (in whatever capacity). Also hoping this bodes well for the musicals getting licensed (for performances and/or home video) outside of Japan, and perhaps for more musicals to be made after all.

If Jean Michel Jarre does any musical work for this I'll die. :love:

It makes me happy to see them still promoting Seramyu even if they're not going to make any more. I feel like the new Seramyu has been a much more successful reboot than Crystal has.

Same here - a bit regrettably so, tho. *sigh*

Sadly, I think so too. *long, heavy sighs*

 

[Neon Genesis]

It's telling they finished up the Stars musical right on schedule and are even doing heavy overseas promotion for Seramyu but still haven't even revealed a final release date for season four of Crystal and just seem to be trying to pretend like Crystal doesn't exist.

Toei Animation is less involved in SeraMyu in its current form.

And it's also not the 1st time Toei pretends like that lol - remember the wait before S1 was finally released?

 

[Neon Genesis]

There was also a long delay before season three came out where we barely had any new info for like a year.

 

[Cordelia LeFay]

Interesting development. It seems we don't have a date yet? It looks like this festival goes on from June 2018 to February 2019.

Right, that too, so we should've already been accustomed to that Toei practice regarding Crystal. lol

New details have been announced: 今まで誰も見たことのない「セーラームーン」がここに！

- Akiko Kodama wrote the screenplay

[mrploddy]

Arggh again no love for Osaka

I'm travelling back to the UK in September too so won't be around LOL.

Another one to watch a live stream I guess.

- Hyadayne wrote the music

Hyadain? Holy crap....

Why just a writer though? That guy can do more than that.

It is interesting that there's a script for this. When this was first announced, I assumed it would just be a glorified concert, but now I'm wondering if it might actually be a proper musical? If so, I hope it's an original story. Maybe they'll announce some cast info during the Usagi's Birthday event and we'll be able to infer details from that.

Maybe it'd be a mini musical like Kirari Super Live of PGSM?

The person who made this trailer gives it life! The costumes look better than the NogiMyu as well.

 

[Memento]

The costumes look amazing and the PV is hype. Disappointed they're doing the Dark Kingdom arc yet again because I was hoping this show would include the Outers, but oh well. I hope they follow through and do an international tour and come to my area.
