Like with this year, next year will start with a revolution, or at least two musicals with the word revolution (kakumei) in their title. There will be another Takizawa Kakumei like this year, with pretty much the same Junior lined up to be a part of it, Kis-My-Ft2 and A.B.C.-Z. There's another musical being added to the mix titled Jinsei Kakumei (Life Revolution) which will star one of the few Johnny's female talents of years back, Mori Mitsuko and co-star Takizawa Hideaki and have the the same Juniors involved. It's plot will also center around Mori's life. Shounentai member, Nishikiori Kazukiyo, will also be a part of the musicals and be present for both of them. Jinsei Kakumei will mainly be day shows and only has 14 shows, while Takizawa Kakumei will have 26.
The A.B.C. portion will have to split roles as they are also doing Yabu Kota's musical at the same time, while Hashimoto Ryosuke will be able to be in all the Kakumei shows. Which seems to make their schedule look incredibly packed for the month of January with three musicals, playing on an almost daily basis, for them to do.

Have to say I was taken aback to see Mori's name as a star of Jinsei Kakumei. Probably because like most people I'm not used to see any female name attached to a Johnny's production like that unless it's a musical they didn't create. But as I mentioned before Mori is one of the rare female Johnny's artists, of course she's mainly just been acting for most of her career as Johnny's ended recruiting female talent back in the 1980's. But Mori has kept good ties with the agency, which is probably the reason behind her starring in Jinsei Kakumei. And for those worried about the boys being around a woman I don't think there's anything to fear as Mori turned 89 this year so I think if anything she'll be like a mother, or grandmother to those in the muscial.
