Headline news for February 21, 2025
To coincide with the release of the long-awaited film adaptation of the popular musical, 'Wicked,' the Osaka Metro Midosuji Premium Liner will be decorated with 'Wicked' motifs for a limited time from February 23rd (Sun) to March 8th (Sat), 2025.
The theme is based on the green of the witch Elphaba and the pink of the witch Glinda, and is reminiscent of the world of the work. In particular, car 6, which is used as a women-only car all day on weekdays, will be decorated even down to the floor and doors.
The movie 'Wicked' will be released nationwide from Friday, March 7, 2025 at TOHO Cinemas Umeda and other theaters.
