Thanks to a journal by :iconnishune: we've recently just found out news about a BRAND NEW FUSHIGI YUUGI STAGE PLAY!

The play will take place between March 19th - March 29th.  Tickets are on sale for 7,000 yen (US$59) - 9,000 yen! The play will be taking place at Shinagawa Prince Hotel’s Club eX in Tokyo.

Below is the cast listing according to the article!

Miaka - Risako Ito
Tamahome - Yutaka Kyan, The 20-year-old entertainer is a member of visual kei musical unit Golden Bomber.

This is some fantastic news for those of us in the Fushigi Yuugi fandom! I pray that it'll breathe some life here! :) At least we get a little taste of something in our way for the Byakko arc! <3

Over all this entry well done and composed the ideal of being lost at night in a strange place is a bit jarring but the light from the fireflies bring out the positive feelings needed to get by these scary situations! I'm sure Tasuki isn't feeling that. Needless to say overall you told a wonderful story through this entry! Congrats on winning 1st!!
