Official Report Arrives for the Music Team Talk Show Commemorating the Premiere Stage Greeting of 'Aikatsu Stars! The Movie -Anniversary Stars-'

The hit film 'Aikatsu Stars! The Movie -Anniversary Stars-' is now playing in theaters nationwide. To celebrate its release, a special talk show featuring the 'Aikatsu Stars!' music team was held at Shinjuku Balt 9. sena (singing voice of Hibiki Yume), rie (singing voice of Sakuraba Rola), and music producer Ryutaro Usukura shared precious behind-the-scenes stories about the music and live concerts with fans.

The revival screening 'Aikatsu Stars! The Movie -Anniversary Stars-', commemorating the 10th anniversary of the franchise, is now showing for three weeks starting July 3 (Fri).

The music team talk show was held on July 14 (Tue) at Shinjuku Balt 9.

sena (Hibiki Yume singing voice), rie (Sakuraba Rola singing voice), and music producer Ryutaro Usukura took the stage and shared valuable anecdotes about the songs and live performances of 'Aikatsu Stars!' with the attending fans.

As each guest gave their greetings, both sena and rie, as well as music producer Usukura, received warm cheers, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for the talk session.

During the music-focused Q&A, when asked about their favorite songs, sena said, "There are so many I love, but of course I adore the new songs from this movie. Aside from those, I love 'Star Jet!', 'MUSIC of DREAM!!!', and 'We are STARS!!!!!'."

She particularly recalled 'Star Jet!', which took 5–6 hours to record. She shared an episode about recording it through close consultation with the music production staff, calling it "a memorable song from which I learned so much."

When sena asked music producer Usukura about his impression of 'Star Jet!', he replied, "I think there's a unique charm that can only be captured at that moment. While technical skills have improved over time, this song carries a freshness that could only be achieved back then."

When asked about her favorite songs, rie said, "I love the 'Aikatsu Stars!' songs so much that even thinking about songs not sung by Rola, I'd pick 'episode Solo', 'Mirai Transit', and 'The only sun light'!" She added, "I've always wanted to sing from Rola's perspective," which was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Responding to rie's comments, Usukura shared his thoughts: "I was really impressed by 'episode Solo'. When I first heard it during the transition from 'Aikatsu!' to 'Aikatsu Stars!', I thought, 'This is going to work!'. 'The only sun light' also turned out to be a fantastic song when paired with the visuals."

In the announcement segment, details of the third wave of入场者 gifts were revealed.

From July 17 (Fri), the third week of the screening, clear bromides featuring newly drawn illustrations of Yume and Rola—originally created for popcorn sold at theaters during the original release—will be distributed.
