The second
commercial for the stage musical Macross the Musicalture began streaming on
Thursday. Unlike the first ad, this new one previews the cast (led by 9nine
idol group member Kanae Yoshii) in costume. The official website also posted
sample voices and songs from the cast.
The story is set in 2062, five decades after the Space
War I conflict seen in the first Macross story. Macross 29 is the 29th New
Macross Class colonization fleet to leave Earth in the aftermath of that
devastating war. People who were once scarred by war now live a tranquil,
oasis-like existence.
However, the fleet has hardly any military strength due
to pacifism, and its economy is on the brink of collapse. Due to the high
unemployment rate in the urban areas, a Neo Zentran movement that advocates a
renewed military has been gaining steam, especially among the young alien
Zentradi.
A "Miss Macross Contest" has been launched as
part of the economic recovery plan among Macross 29 citizens. Lives converge at
the event when two youths named Ash and Sakura spot Vigo, a young Neo Zentran
leader, in the distance.
The musical will run at Tokyo Dome City Hall from October
3 to October 8. The play stars:
Takuya Kikuchi as Vigo Walgria
Shion Tsuchiya as Ash Anderson
Kanae Yoshii as Sakura Crawford
Risa Uesugi as Daryl Walgira
Ayumi Hinata as el
Ai Hasegawa as Sonia Dosel
Isamu Kayano (Air Gear musical) is directing under the
supervision of franchise co-creator Shoji Kawamori (Escaflowne, Aquarion,
AKB0048). Chūji Mikasano (Leiji Matsumoto's Stanley no Majo play) is writing
the script, and Hidari (Natsu-iro Kiseki, Fractale) designed the characters.
