(hereinafter referred to as HoriPro) (※ 1). To commemorate this, as part of the “Pro Stage” event exclusive to Kidzania’s paid membership service “Kidzania Professional,” 15 children (※ 2) selected by lottery from members were “child reporters” who interviewed and visited the rehearsal studio of the Broadway musical “Peter Pan” (planned and produced by HoriPro) on Sunday, July 6, 2025. This is the second time that child reporters have interviewed the “Peter Pan” rehearsal studio, following July 2024. The child reporters observed two scenes, including singing, at the musical’s rehearsal room in a studio in Tokyo. The first scene was a scene in which Wendy and her friends arrived at Neverland and were taught the Lost Boys’ oath, with the three songs “Wendy,” “Hook’s Tarantella,” and “Never Grow Up.” The second scene was a scene in which the two opposing tribes, the Lost Boys and the Moribito, became allies, with the song “Blood Brothers.” The child reporters’ eyes lit up at the spirited performance, and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the world of the musical.

A boy who is a big fan of the musical “Peter Pan” asked, “You all work so well together, it’s amazing. Please tell us how to unite.” Yamazaki Reina, who plays Peter Pan, responded, “Thank you, our company gets along really well. Peter Pan is a piece that is as intense as a sports day (everyone moves with all their might), so I think that by doing vigorous exercise together, we have become closer.” Also, a girl who participated because she was interested in musicals asked, “What are you working hard to do in order to appear in musicals?” Ishii Kazutaka, who plays Captain Hook, commented, “I have been performing in musicals for 33 years, and the first thing I work hard on is staying healthy. I sleep eight hours a day because I need healthy legs, hands, and voices. Now is the time to grow, so eat well, sleep well, and take care of your health.”

Today I was happy to see my favorite scene with the smoking pipe.” “In the interview with Captain Hook, I realized that it’s important to take care of your health, whether you’re an adult or a child. It was amazing to see him climb high places and speak his lines fluently. Now that I’m a broadcasting committee member, I want to be able to speak more fluently.” “I like working in the theater at Kidzania, and I’ve even experienced the Peter Pan Parade. Everyone’s expressions and the way they were all in sync were very impressive.” By experiencing a rehearsal room that is not normally open to the public, the children’s interest in musicals, which move people, seemed to have grown even more.
