From the director of the musical's twitter (@suemitsu):

1) The final draft of the script has been finalized. Now waiting for rehearsals.

2) Even though the setting is vampires, they don't have the traditional weaknesses to crosses, holy water, garlic or silver stakes. Nor do they burn to ash in the sun, and they aren't eternally young or immortal either. Basically they're pretty similar to humans, except they drink blood (and there may be other differences that aren't elaborated on).

3) The entire cast is vampiric, there are no humans in the official cast list.

4) The vampire girls in this musical are all going through a "Cocoon Period" where they transition from adolescence to adulthood, and as this occurs, they are subject to emotional instability in the process. Depending on the individual, those with the strongest symptoms of instability are taken to a sanatorium called "Kuran", where they are separated from others for safekeeping.

In other words there probably isn't going to be much vampire action, and in the vein of Stacies, the setting is just a tool to explore the emotional and mental maturation of girls growing up. The vampire twist gives it an otherworldly feeling, and allows a dramatization of the narrative, obviously.

What the fuck, Masaki
That "Aisertai" was the awesomest, randomest thing ever.

September 6?! Well dang.

No wonder S/mileage's Budokan concert is on a Tuesday. They already had the summer H!P planned out.

But September 6 does seem a bit later than usual.
