The momentum is unstoppable! "Magia Record" is being adapted into a stage play!
"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is an anime that depicts the struggles and harsh fates of girls who fight as "magical girls." Its cute illustrations, unpredictable plot developments, and a world of fairy tale horror have captivated countless fans. In 2018, the game "Magia Record," a spin-off of the "Madoka Magica" series, was adapted into the first 2.5D stage play. Kakizaki Memi, who plays the main character Tamaki Iroha, along with Sasaki Mirei, Tomita Suzuka, Ushio Sarina, Watanabe Miho, and others will appear on stage as the main magical girls. Not only are their visuals stunning, but their convincing performances are also not to be missed. Furthermore, fellow group members Nibu Akari, Kawata Hina, Saito Kyoko, Kanemura Miku, and Kato Shiho will also appear in their familiar magical girl roles from the anime, making this a recommended performance for fans of the original work.
What is "Keyakizaka," the group performing the Magia Record stage play?
As many of you may know, "Keyakizaka46" and "Keyakizaka46" are different entities. Written in hiragana, "Keyakizaka46" is positioned as the younger sister of "Keyakizaka46." Their appearance in the Magia Record stage play caused quite a stir at the time.
