Sailor Moon Musical 'La Soldier' Returns in 2026 Staging

The Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon musical Shining Theater Shinagawa Tokyo, scheduled for 2026, will feature a brand-new staging of the iconic theme song "La Soldier." This production introduces updated choreography and a refreshed arrangement, marking a significant revival for one of the franchise's most beloved stage pieces. The song originally debuted in the 1993 Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen musical and served as the consistent closing number for the SeraMyu era until 2005.

After a hiatus during the Nelke Planning Takarazuka-style productions, "La Soldier" returned to the stage with Nogizaka46 musicals starting in June 2018. Subsequent performances, including The Super Live in August 2018 and the Music Festival Chronicle in 2024, featured varying choreographic styles that honored its legacy while adapting to modern casts. The 2026 iteration aims to reinvent the piece rather than merely replicate past versions, ensuring its continued relevance in the evolving landscape of Sailor Moon theatrical experiences.
