Overview
The highly anticipated theatre production,
Private Shibaibe Girls Academy: Extracurricular Classes in the Scorching Heat, produced by SFIDA ENTERTAINMENT, is set to premiere from August 26 to August 31, 2025, at Theatre MOMO in Nakano, Tokyo. The show promises to explore contemporary issues within the entertainment industry while focusing on educational challenges such as academic deficiency.
Thematic Focus
In an innovative approach, all cast members have participated in real academic assessments to authentically reflect their results within the storyline. The school anthem titled
“We Are Natural Disasters” cleverly reinterprets the term to convey determination and resilience against the negative connotations and traditions present within the entertainment world.
Storyline
Set in a unique correspondence-based entertainment school, the academy encourages its students to excel in both academics and their respective dreams. However, during the summer of its first year, teachers find themselves perplexed as students struggle academically. Thus, to secure the future of both the students and the academy, the principal introduces an extracurricular course aimed at enhancing their skills.
Will the students successfully navigate this challenge and earn their required credits? The production blends spontaneity with structured lessons, as audience members are presented as 'guests' in this interactive educational performance.
Cast Highlights
The central role of the show is taken up by Mifuu Arisawa, a former member of 3B junior and a previous participant in Hachimitsu Rocket, now signed under Stardust Promotion’s voice actor division. Mifuu stars as Hinata Shinai, the leader of girls’ idol group POP⭐SWEET. The production is scripted and directed by Takuma Kogou, an actor known for intertwining social issues with entertainment in his narratives, ensuring a unique theatrical experience.
Guest Appearances
Adding a layer of delight, special guest lecturers will appear daily, bringing surprise elements to each performance. Featured 'visiting faculty' include notable personalities like Maiko Ishioka and Miku Tsuboi, both integrating their expertise and charisma into the production.
