BoA’s hit song “Valenti” will be featured in a Japanese musical.
Japan’s leading entertainment company Avex said it will begin producing a musical entitled “Pieces of the Heart” to celebrate its 20th founding anniversary.
The musical, which will be staged at the Aoyama Theater in Tokyo from September 15 to 29, revolves around a heartbroken heroine who isolates herself from the meaningless relationships of today’s modern society and takes off on a futuristic journey that centers around a mysterious object called “Pieces of the Heart.”
The musical will feature 21 songs that have been carefully selected by Avex. They include hit songs performed by Avex artists over the past 20 years. It is the first Japanese musical to feature only the hit songs of artists from a single entertainment company.
The songs include past hits by Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, Exile, Ami Otsuda and Ami Suzuki.
Avex also selected “Valenti” from BoA’s second studio album, which sold 1.5 million copies in 2003.
Throughout the performance period, Avex plans to exhibit costumes, accessories and trophies of Avex artists
