This year, Shonentai will appear in the annual musical "PLAYZONE" for the last time. Composed of Kazukiyo Nishikiori, Katsuhide Uekusa, and Noriyuki Higashiyama, the group has been leading the musical since 1986, the year after their record debut. So far, it has seen 957 performances over the past 22 years, and the total attendance has surpassed 1.38 million people.
The musical's 23rd edition is titled "Change ~ SHOW TIME Hit Series." Performances will run from July 6 to August 8 in Tokyo, then from August 26 to 31 in Osaka.
After this year, the show will be led by younger Johnny's artists, though the exact leads have not yet been announced.
