My name is Yu Murai and I am in charge of writing and directing the second chapter of the stage play “Kageki Shojo!!”. This is a continuation of the first chapter that was performed last year. As a theater artist, I strongly sympathized with and was very moved by the original story of “a youthful story of opera girls who are passionate about becoming top stars.” I would like to thank you once again for giving me this opportunity. I would like to work together with the cast and staff to create Chapter 2, while valuing the worldview of the original work and the work view created in Chapter 1. Everyone, please look forward to it!!

I’m Haruka Ogoshi, who plays Ai Narada.

I’m so excited to see their gorgeousness, beauty, and each person’s emotions on stage!

Long-awaited!
I’m really, really happy about the second chapter of the stage play “Kageki Shojo!!” Continuing from the previous work, I will be playing the role of Chinatsu Sawada. I’m really looking forward to being on that stage again. This time, a new story will be told on stage! New characters will also appear, and the stage is sure to be even more spectacular!

* ◆Sei Nojima Nagisa Aoyama *
Congratulations on the decision to produce the second chapter of the stage play “Kageki Shojo!!”! I’m really happy to be able to stand on stage again as Sei Nojima. Looking at the characters in this work, I wonder if they will do that episode from the original work? What kind of story will it be? If you were to perform that scene on stage, what would it be like? I can’t stop imagining and looking forward to it, and I’m already looking forward to the rehearsal period! The entire company will do our best to deliver the best stage to everyone! * ◆Misuki Mita as Lisa Nakayama *
My name is Mibuki Mita, who plays Lisa Nakayama.
When I first saw “Kageki Shojo!!”, I cried at the sparkling youth and the feelings of each person, and there were parts that overlapped with my own…
I fell in love with this work! I was very happy that I decided to appear this time! Lisa is an honest girl who is sometimes strict but is also very kind at heart. I want to face the weakness within that kindness and perform to the best of my ability!
And I will do my best to deliver the charm of my work to as many people as possible.
We look forward to seeing you at the theater!

My name is Rikako Aida and I will be playing the role of Momo Kozono in the second chapter of the play “Kageki Shojo!!”.
I am so happy that I will be able to participate in the TV anime that I previously appeared as a voice actor in this way again!
I saw the video of the previous work, and Sara-chan and the other Kageki Shoujos were shining brightly on stage, as if they had just jumped out of an anime.
I’m excited to be able to join the group as Momo-chan!
I’ll do my best!
