The stage show will be a brand new story set in the Love Live! universe about two students from two fictional schools in the Kansai region, Takizakura Girls Academy in Osaka prefecture and Tsubakisakuhana Girls High School in the neighboring Hyogo prefecture.
After more than a decade as a mainstay of Japanese pop culture, the Love Live! project is headed to the stage in Love Live! School Idol Musical.
With a story thought up by Love Live! creator Sakurako Kimino, Love Live! School Idol Musical is being turned into a stage event by screenplay writer and director Kouki Kishimoto and composer Ryota Kojima at ARKS International.
