Stage Plays

There are currently several main series of stage plays in the TSUKIPRO series; two focusing on the members of TSUKIUTA., one revolving around the members of SQ, one focused on ALIVE, one based on VAZZROCK, and another that was a mixture of the men's side TSUKIUTA., the ALIVE members, and the SQ members.

Despite having their own respective stage series, it's also not uncommon for members to appear in plays from other series; such as SQ in TSUKIUTA., TSUKIUTA. in ALIVE, etc. So far the only series that have not featured any such cameos are VAZZSTA and MEGASTA.

In addition to the regular stage plays are special plays known as dance lives, distinguished from regular stage plays by the fact they have little to no story and are generally exclusive dance segments. These lives in particular usually feature more than one stage series, including members of different series acting as backup dancers during different units/members songs.

On top of these regular stage series are bonus stage plays held at special events such as AGF & TSUKINO PRODUCTIONs Summer Culture Festivals.

TSUKIUTA. = 2.5 dimensions of dance live「TSUKIUTA.」STAGE (2.5次元ダンスライブ「ツキウタ. 」ステージ, 2.5-jigen dansu raibu「TSUKIUTA.」SUTĒJI) aka TSUKIUTA STAGE, or TSUKISTA for short is a series of dance live/stage play adaptations of the men's side of the TSUKIUTA. series. TSUKISTA was the first stage play series released by TSUKINO, having debuted in 2016.

Unlike the other stage series, TSUKISTA's plays are not split into three episode long seasons. Because of this, recasts of the roles can occur at any time between the different plays. So far, two major recasts have occurred across most of the cast, the first with their sixth stage and the second with either their ninth or tenth stage depending on the role. So far only two characters have had the same cast since the series debut; Jonin Tatsuki as Satsuki Aoi and Sato Yusaki as Minaduki Rui.

2.5 Dimension Dance Live「TSUKIUTA.」STAGE Girl’s Side MEGASTA. (2.5次元ダンスライブ「ツキウタ. 」ステージ Girl’s Side MEGASTA., 2.5-jigen Dansu Raibu「TSUKIUTA.」SUTEEJI Girl’s Side MEGASTA.) aka TSUKIUTA. STAGE Girl’s Side MEGASTA., or MEGASTA for short, is a series of dance live/stage play adaptations of the girl's side of the TSUKIUTA. series. The series was first announced at TSUKIPRO Sohonten in 2020 before debuting in 2021.

Due to COVID-19 related issues the second episode, Goodbye my dear Frenemy., was initially cancelled alongside the postponement notice of several other TSUKINO stages; however, the episode is now scheduled to go ahead in late 2022. Despite only being on its second play, MEGASTA has already seen one recast occur, with Kawakami Eriko taking over from Momoka in the role of Momosaki Hina. SQ = 2.5 Dimension Dance Live「SQ」Stage (2.5次元ダンスライブ「SQ」ステージ 2.5 Jigen Dansu Raibu「SQ」Sutēji) aka SolidS & QUELL on STAGE, or S.Q.S for short, is a series of dance live/stage play adaptations of the SQ series. Each episode has two versions, a RED version and a BLUE version, with each focusing on a different unit and having unique setlists.

The first season was announced at 2017 AGF, the second was revealed shortly after the conclusion of episode 3's theater run, and three at the end of episode 6; with all starring cast members initially reported to be reprising their roles. However, after episode 7 it was announced that SQS would see its first cast change due to Takamura Shiki's actor, Higano Sho, suffering from a persistent back injury. ALIVE = 2.5 Dimension Dance Live「ALIVE」Stage (2.5次元ダンスライブ「ALIVE」ステージ 2.5 Jigen Dansu Raibu「ALIVE」Sutēji) aka ALIVESTAGE, or IVESTA for short, is a series of stage play adaptations focusing on the units of ALIVE. Alongside Growth, episode 1 also featured their rival unit, ZIX. SOARA made their first stage play appearance as guests in S.Q.S TSUKINO EMPIRE2 BEGINNING OF THE WORLD, before fully joining IVESTA in episode 2.

The first season was announced at 2018 AGF, while the second season & ZIX focused side story were revealed at the conclusion of episode 3's theater run on the second day of TSUKIPRO Sohonten. A third season was announced following the last performance of their sixth episode. So far for cast changes, Sakuraba Ryota has been played by a different actor in each season (Mitani Reo, Tachibana Ryo, & Tanaka Naoki respectively) and Arihara Morihito was recast for the third season from Ishiwatari Mashu to Kageyama Tatsuya.

TSUKIPRO = 2.5 Dimension Dance Live TSUKIPRO STAGE (2.5次元ダンスライブ　TSUKIPRO STAGE 2.5 Jigen Dansu Raibu TSUKIPRO STAGE) aka TSUKIPRO STAGE, or PROSTA for short, is a stage series featuring the units of TSUKIUTA., ALIVE, & SQ. For some time, the series only had a singular episode but following the final performance of IVESTA's sixth episode a second episode was revealed.

The first episode was originally scheduled to debut in June, 2020, but was later cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. It was later rescheduled for performance in December the same year before being temporarily cancelled again after a COVID incident among the cast and staff. TSUKINO later announced that due to no further staff or cast members testing positive they would go ahead with performances, albeit with some cast absences & no live audience.

The second episode was scheduled for September, 2022, and unlike the first episode would also feature members from the SQ units. As with the first play, most of the featured units were to be missing at least one of their usual members, presumably due to scheduling difficulties with such a large cast. However, on July 1, 2022, it was announced that due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances the play would have to be cancelled. It is currently unknown if the episode will be rescheduled for a later date at some point.

VAZZROCK = 2.5 Dimension Dance Live『VAZZROCK STAGE』 (2.5次元ダンスライブ『VAZZROCK STAGE』 2.5 Jigen Dansu Raibu『VAZZROCK STAGE』) aka VAZZROCK STAGE, or VAZZSTA for short, is a series of dance live/stage play adaptations of the VAZZROCK series. Like the other stage series the episodes have multiple setlists versions, a VAZZY-centric version and a ROCK DOWN-centric version along with a third version exclusive to the final day performances.

The series was announced at the end of VAZZROCK LIVE 2020 and the series premiered with its first episode, Ø Carat, on June 28, 2021. Initially, only one episode was announced but on the second day of TSUKIPRO CHANNEL 48-hour live streaming 2021 it was revealed that the series would be receiving a further two episodes, with both originally scheduled for 2022. However, due to COVID-19 related issues the debut of the second episode, Petrichor・Nostalgie, had to be pushed back to late 2022 leaving the release date for the third episode unclear for the time being.
