New Poster Visual Revealed for “Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight” Compilation Film “Rondo Rondo Rondo”

An event stream held on Wednesday night has revealed the official movie poster visual for the upcoming compilation film of Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight entitled, Rondo Rondo Rondo. Check out the poster below!

As of this writing, the film’s May 29 premiere date is still in place.

The compilation movie will feature brand-new scenes as well as new shots of iconic scenes in the 2018 anime series. A 30-second PV was previously revealed last January, which features a rather ominous voice-over of character Daiba Nana. Check out the PV here!

It was earlier revealed that the film’s theme song “Saiseisan Bikyoku” is composed by Satou Junichi, member of pop band fhana. The band is known to most for singing “Aozora no Rhapsody”, the opening theme song of 2017 anime series Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. 

A brand-new sequel film was also announced last year. The previously-mentioned livestream event revealed that the new film will be about the students’ 3^rd and last year of performing Starlight, and how they deal with this development. A new character will also be introduced in the movie but it was not made clear if she was a student or something else.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight is a multimedia franchise created by Bushiroad and Nelke Planning. The franchise is composed of a musical where the voice actresses of the anime perform, a smartphone game by ATeam launched in October 2018, and a 12-episode anime series produced by Kinema Citrus and directed by Tomohiro Furukawa. The series has also released three manga adaptations so far, all created by Sora Goto and written by Kanata Nakamura.

Unlike Bushiroad’s other multimedia franchises, Revue Starlight focuses on musical theater actresses instead of idols. The story centers on Aijo Karen, who enters Seisho Music Academy so that she could fulfill a promise to her childhood friend, who has left for London to study. When Kagura Hikari returns to Japan, Karen is surprised to find that her friend has become aloof. One day she stumbles upon an underground audition—presided over by a giraffe—for the “top star”, who is given the power to create any stage she desires. Wanting to fulfill her promise to Hikari that they will stand together on stage as the leads for the play Starlight, Karen joins the audition and fights the eight other aspiring top stars of their batch in a mysterious musical revue.
