In an exciting development for the performing arts scene, INANNA's latest project, the musical "ON YOUR OWN STAGE!!", has achieved a remarkable milestone, hitting its crowdfunding goal of 3 million yen (approximately $20,000) in just 21 days. This achievement is a testament to the strong support from the community and fans alike.
The creative force behind INANNA is Mai Wajima (known as MAISA), who is not only the representative of the company but also a dedicated mother of two and the 2020 Mrs. International Japan Grand Prix winner. Her passion and determination shine through as she takes on the leading role in this groundbreaking musical.
"ON YOUR OWN STAGE!!" tells the story of adults reclaiming their lives and dreams through the arts, featuring a cast that includes former Takarazuka performers, commercial singers, and talented artists who embody the message of empowerment. Set to run from November 27 to 30, 2025, at the Rokko-kai Hall in Shinagawa, Tokyo, the production aims to convey a bold statement about women’s empowerment and self-expression.
After transitioning from an individual venture to an incorporated entity, INANNA is paving the way for collaboration with various organizations, allowing them to reach a wider audience. This corporate structure facilitates their first general audition, creating new avenues for talent and community engagement. They target an audience capacity of up to 1,000 attendees, showcasing the growth and evolution of their activities. Tickets for the musical are currently available via Live Pocket Ticket.
Empowering Women Through Theater
At the heart of INANNA's mission lies a commitment to empowering women. Their slogan, "Show Your Dreams and Life!", resonates deeply as it emphasizes that adults shining brightly leads to a freer and brighter future for children. This upcoming performance promises to amplify these ideals further, delivering courage and hope to all who experience it.
Mai Wajima expressed gratitude for the swift crowdfunding success, stating, "This achievement is thanks to many supporters who resonate with our vision. It shows that a new form of activity can garner widespread backing in society."
Participants are encouraged to share their voices and appreciate various roles both on and off stage, emphasizing the importance of community and positivity. Many supporters have shared messages of encouragement, expressing how INANNA’s activities inspire both them and their children to pursue their dreams, regardless of age or circumstance.
Community Support and Encouragement
Fans and fellow artists alike have rallied behind INANNA, expressing their admiration for the initiative's inclusive ethos. One supporter, Mariko Tomita, remarked, "The beauty of Mai's journey as a mother proves that we can cherish ourselves and shine at any stage of life, providing us with hope and energy." Another supporter, Akika Hirose, remarked, "I wholeheartedly support INANNA’s mission of adults enjoying life to inspire children. Let’s enjoy this stage to the fullest for their sake!"
As rehearsals for "ON YOUR OWN STAGE!!" continue, anticipation grows for what promises to be a dynamic and heartfelt production that will leave audiences with warm memories.
