[First Since Retirement] Former Takarazuka Revue Moon Troupe Star Karan Chinami to Hold 20th Anniversary Event 'CaKe' in Osaka on July 25

Karan Chinami, who performed with the Moon Troupe of the Takarazuka Revue, will hold her 20th-anniversary event 'CaKe' on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in her hometown of Osaka (Umeda). The catchphrase for this performance is 'Matsuri no Hi, CaKe Meshimase' (On the day of the festival, please enjoy some CaKe). As her first commemorative event since retiring from the Takarazuka Revue in 2023, it will feature audience participation and a structure where stories, music, and words intersect. The event will feature co-star Maoto Yume and pianist Atsuko Mori. Additionally, special guests will appear for the day and evening sessions: Yurino Toka for the matinee and Yuka Oishi for the evening show. Karan Chinami herself is handling the planning, composition, and direction, aiming to deliver an irreplaceable day that goes beyond just 'watching' to 'creating together.' The title 'CaKe' is a play on Karan Chinami's initials and was named with the image of 'sharing' the time with visitors on this special day, which also happens to be her birthday. The event will also include a retrospective of her career, offering a unique experience fitting for her 20th anniversary. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale starting Saturday, May 30, 2026.
