This extraordinary event will showcase the talents of Miya Naohiro, a renowned figure who began his journey in the theater world with Takarazuka Revue and pursued a unique path through the Tokyo University of the Arts.

In this highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed inaugural concert held in May 2025, Miya Naohiro promises to deliver an exceptional musical experience that transcends generations and genres.

Set against the backdrop of a theatre celebrating the Takarazuka Revue’s 111th anniversary, this concert represents a significant milestone not only for the performers but also for the history of Japanese musical theater.

The Vision Behind the Concert

The concert's direction will be led by the seasoned and esteemed Masaya Ishida, known for his work with Takarazuka productions. The live music will be performed by the talented Manto Vivo Jazz Orchestra, guided by the celebrated composer and arranger Takegoro Kobayashi, who has supported tours for notable artists like EXILE ATSUSHI and Dean Fujioka.

Adding to this splendid production will be the powerful male choir, which will enrich the performance with their harmonious vocal contributions, creating a unique auditory experience that intertwines various musical styles.

The evening will spotlight popular numbers like “Takarazuka, My Hometown” and “Because of Love,” setting the stage for an exuberant night filled with emotion and artistry.
