The Japanese musical adaptation of popular anime and video game series is not a new thing in Japan. Sailor Moon and The Prince of Tennis in particular are two of the most popular to have recieved this treatment.
Now it seems that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has joined in the act and in its opening month the all-female performance by the Takarazuka Review has been so well recieved that they are already working on a sequel to be released later this year.
While things like this have been brought over to the United States all of never, it is nice to see a game series that has been such a mainstay on the DS has now entered a whole new level of the cultural awareness structure and will, most likely, ensure its continued survival in some form or another for years to come.
