Cast comments and photos from “MahoStation” Etude Series Part 1 have arrived! “This will be a turning point for 'MahoStation'”

Cast comments and photos have arrived from Part 1 of the Etude Series of the play “The Wizard's Promise,” which opened at the Tennozu Galaxy Theater on June 1st.

“The Wizard's Promise” (commonly known as Mahoyaku) is a training simulation game for smartphones.

The player becomes a sage and trains and fights with 21 wizards to protect the world from the moon known as the “Great Calamity,” deepening their bonds with them.

The work was first performed as a stage play in 2021, and an event story, “Celebration Series,” was performed in 2023.

The stage will feature three stories from the original app's “First Training Series” event: “Etude of the Mischievous Masked Guy – Western and Southern Countries,” “Etude of the Lone Thief – Northern and Western Countries,” and “Etude of the Melancholy Sunflower – Eastern and Southern Countries.”

Taro Nakamura, who plays Bradley, said, “I think this Etude series will be a turning point for 'MahoStation.'” Yasuharu Tsubokura, who plays Nero, commented, “I was really enthusiastic about this Etude series even during rehearsals!”

Kazuma Minami, who plays Chloe, expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I hope that I can fully convey Chloe's charm, and at the same time, I think this is the perfect opportunity for me to grow as an actor, so I'll do my best.”

The full comments and photos are from the press release below.

Cast and Director Comments

[Kita no Kuni]Bradley: Taro Nakamura
I am very happy to be playing Bradley from “Etude of the Lone Thief – North Country, West Country” in Part 1 of this Etude Series.
This stage adaptation of the game app “The Wizard's Promise” is called “MahoStation” and has been loved and supported by many people up to this point, and it is finally reaching its sixth production.
I believe that this Etude series will be a turning point for MahoStation.
This work delves deeper into each character, including the main ones, and I feel that it is an opportunity to show a fundamental side of the characters that has never been seen before.
I would like to demonstrate the evolution of Bradley, the leader of the Northern Bandit Gang, so that I can live up to the expectations of my colleagues and staff who have dedicated their time to this magical world, and above all, to all of you who have supported me.
We will do our best to deliver a work that will be accepted and loved by those who have loved “MahoStation” so far, and by those who will come into contact with it in the future, so please support us.

[Eastern Country]Nero: Yasuharu Tsubokura
The stage play “The Wizard's Promise” Etude Series Part 1 is finally opening! I've been looking forward to the opening day!
This is already the fifth piece I have participated in since Chapter 2, and I was really enthusiastic about this Etude series from the beginning, even during rehearsals! The music this time is also great, so please enjoy the colorful stories from different countries!
Yes, of course we will definitely entertain the eastern countries!
Please enjoy until the very end!

[Western Country]Chloe: Kazuma Minami
The first in the Etude series is a story set in the West Country, “Mischievous Masked Etude – West Country, South Country,” so I want to get off to a good start and fascinate the whole of the West Country!
The Western Country part mainly focuses on Chloe's story, so I hope I can fully convey Chloe's charm, and at the same time, I will do my best as I believe it is the best opportunity for me to grow as an actor.
Please look forward to it!

This marks the opening of Part 1 of the stage play “The Wizard's Promise” Etude Series.
I am excited about the start of this new series, which has a different flavor from previous ones.
This work depicts an unforgettable event that brings about changes in the way each of the wizards lives their lives.
At the rehearsal hall, I watched and shouted in my heart, “How precious!”
I'll try to enjoy myself at the theater, being careful not to accidentally say anything out loud.

The opening will be soon. Please look forward to it.
