Performing at the New National Theatre, Tokyo in September 2026!!

'School Idol Musical' is not a musical adaptation of previous 'Love Live! Series' works, but an entirely original story. With newly written songs for this production, it is a youth school drama centered around ten girls realizing their dreams, featuring a lineup of fresh new talent and experienced veteran performers. It embodies the radiant and struggling figures of high school girls striving to fulfill their dreams, and has received so much positive acclaim that additional performances have been added repeatedly. Furthermore, due to its high evaluation, a live-action drama based on this musical was produced and broadcast in 2024.

Key Checkpoints for the 2026 Performance!

This performance will be staged at the New National Theatre, Tokyo.
