“Cherri Maho The Musical” – Apparently you can become a wizard if you’re a virgin until you’re 30 years old – opened on April 11, 2025 at Kanadevia Hall (formerly TOKYO DOME CITY HALL). Tokyo performance: Friday, April 11th – Sunday, April 20th, 2025 Kanadevia Hall (formerly TOKYO DOME CITY HALL) Aichi performance: Friday, April 25th – Sunday, April 27th, 2025 I Plaza Toyohashi This work is a musical adaptation of the hugely popular comic “A virgin until you are 30 years old and can become a wizard” (commonly known as “Cherry Maho”), a highly-known popular comic by Toyota Yu, who is serialized in Square Enix’s “Gangan pixiv,” with a total circulation of over 3 million copies. Matsuda Ryo plays the main character, a dull office worker, Adachi Kiyoshi, and Aramaki Yoshihiko plays Kurosawa Yuichi, a colleague who has feelings for Adachi. A rehearsal was held on the 10th, the day before the season began, and the cast and directors released their comments.[Matsuda Ryo as Adachi Kiyoshi]This is Matsuda Ryo as Adachi Kiyoshi. The season is finally open, and with the spring season now, I am proud to say that it has become a work that is suitable for various beginnings. From the rehearsal stage, we have been working hard with the performers, staff, and many other people to focus on this work. I would be happy if this work would bloom and laugh just like the cherry blossoms. This work is a musical, so we will depict this worldview and our relationship through singing and dancing. I hope that the opening song will expand the world of this work, and look forward to seeing what kind of song he will sing and how this scene in the original is expressed in this way. I also think that the atmosphere of Kurosawa, played by Aramaki, is very wonderful, and to put it simply, the “fragments within perfection” make you thrill, so I hope you will look forward to that as well. We would like to deliver it to many people, so we would like you to visit the theater. And hopefully, if your heart flutters, please let out your feelings, voice, or hands! We look forward to seeing you in the theater![Aramaki Yoshihiko as Kurosawa Yuichi]This is Aramaki Yoshihiko as Kurosawa Yuichi. I myself enjoy this work with the cast, and I think it will be a work that will fully convey to everyone who is watching the fun of it, and will make it feel even more exciting. The relationship between Adachi and Kurosawa, Tsuge and Minato is of course one of the highlights, but it is because we have the members who are essential to creating this stage, with Asahina-senpai, Rokkaku, Fujisaki-san, Kurosawa Mari, and the angels who are coloring around them, that is what makes our play stand out, and I think if you can watch a variety of places with so many different love, you will be able to enjoy this stage even more. It’s a shame that when you’re going to see theatres, you won’t be able to see them in close-up, but when Kurosawa approaches, I’m enjoying myself with the sad and confused look on my face and the sad and confused look on my face, playing Matsuda Ryo. As the videos you have been filmed continue to appear on social media, I think the hurdle for fun for you is probably rising significantly, but we are able to prepare a work that can far surpass that, so we hope you enjoy it.[Kikuchi Shuji as Tsuge Masato]This is Kikuchi Shuji as Tsuge Masato. I really enjoy rehearsals every day, and I think it’s Cherimu that was created because of this company, and since it was a work that I personally took on a lot of challenges, I would be happy if the audience could enjoy this together. I think that moments when I play the role are small moments such as the impression I had when I met someone, or the smile I suddenly laughed at, but Minato has that kind of gap, and I think that Tsuge’s feelings are understandable when he plays the reason why he is confused, and I think Minato’s small gestures and smile will make the audience feel excited. I also think that this is a work filled with the goodness of musicals, with more passionate feelings than any other work, and there are some fun songs and some songs that make your heart a little more intense, and even watching the main story, you can feel a variety of emotions like a roller coaster, so I would be very happy if as many people as possible enjoy this worldview. We look forward to seeing you there![Nakayama Sakitsuki as Wataya Minato]This is Nakayama Sakitsuki, who plays Wataya Minato. Watching scenes where I don’t appear is really fun as an audience, and dancing and acting in scenes where I do, I’m sure that watching Cherimu will be a very good day. Tsuge is a very cool character when you look at her looks, but she is a little weird and playful, and the gap between them is really touching. This gap also appears in many different situations not only in Tsuge and Minato, but also in other characters, so I hope you will be able to watch it with great attention. I’m sure those who watch social media already know this, but there’s a theme song called “Demo,” and before watching the main story, I think if you listen to this song or watch the cast members dancing, and then listen to this song again after watching the main story, you’ll feel something will change. I hope that this song and choreography will make you excited and enjoy it together with all the customers who come! Please look forward to it![Scriptwriter and Directed by Kawajiri Keita]This work began with the aim of taking on the original work with respect. As a result of taking on the original with respect, Adachi and Kurosawa became the new Adachi and Kurosawa, and I think they became the special stage special “Adachi and Kurosawa that can only be seen here.” We discussed and created this work based on the original work, so I hope that everyone, including those who read the original work, watched the drama, or watched the anime, will be able to watch it with a fresh feeling. As I’m the creator, there are of course many points that I would like to see here that will make you feel excited, but as for my role, as I watch this play the most, I feel that the casual, ordinary conversation will be the most exciting. We’re having a normal conversation, but what do we both think? This is a work that will make viewers excited, so I hope they will be excited about it in a casual way. I think the excitement increases with every time I watch it, so I hope you will watch it again and again. Not only Adachi and Kurosawa, but also Tsuge, Minato, and other characters are specials unique to the stage, so I hope you will come and see them, and there are also some people who know that, as they are also featured in official X, but angels are very active, so be sure to watch them carefully to see what scenes they will appear and what role they play. And of course, there are scenes that will make you laugh, and as it is a comedy, there are many scenes that will make you laugh. I would be happy if you could pay attention to such things as well. ©Toyota Yu/SQUARE ENIX/Cherri Maho The Musical Production Committee
