Backstage Journal is a short Kageki feature where very young cast members write anecdotes about what’s going on behind the scenes of the productions. They’re not very deep, being full of emojis and more like blog entries than articles, but they are a good way to get to know the newest actresses in each troupe.

This one is by Snow Troupe member Houka Haruna (of the 98th class), writing about the Chunichi production of One Night of Stars/Greatest HITS!, and was published in the March 2017 issue.
