Flashy and colorful new promotional posters as well as full casting and new details on the newest musical edition of the popular and enduring Japanese franchise SAILOR MOON and its subsequent stage musical incarnation inspired by the works of Naoko Takeuchi have been released.

The first new SAILOR MOON musical in eight years, the all-female manga-to-musical series of adaptations continues this September in Tokyo with the newest show, SAILOR MOON: LA RECONQUISTA, boasting a brand new leading lady and a whole new look and storyline in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the original incarnation of the girl-power-centric superhero series successfully made into a musical.

Satomi Okubo is set to essay the title role, making her the fifth actress to portray the beloved figure onstage in an official capacity - and, at only 17, one of the youngest, as well.

Additional casting has also been announced, including famed Takarazuka troupe headliner Yuga Yamato taking on the role of Tuxedo Mask.

Filling out the central cast of the musical besides Okuko and Yamato is Miyabi Matsuura as Sailor Mercury, Kanon Nanaki as Sailor Mars, Yu Takahashi as Sailor Jupiter and Shiori Sakata as Sailor Venus.

The new incarnation of SAILOR MOON: LA RECONQUISTA was written and directed by Takuya Hiramitsu with music by Toshihiko Sahashi and will reportedly feature an entirely new story according to reports.

An official logo poster as well as two promotional posters for the musical have been released in addition to this new information.

SAILOR MOON: LA RECONQUISTA is set to premiere this September in Japan, running September 13 through 23 in Tokyo at Shibuya's AiiA Theater.
