Wataru Watanabe’s Yowamushi Pedal sports series has been a stage play even longer than it’s been an anime, so after a whopping sixteen different shows with another currently on the way, the crew are celebrating in a special 10th-anniversary video.

The first Yowamushi Pedal stage play premiered at Tokyo’s The Galaxy Theatre on February 1, 2012, and was succeeded by at least one new show every year.

Performances of Yowamushi Pedal: The Cadence! celebrating the 10th anniversary will be held at Tokyo Theater 1010 from July 5-10 and Cool Japan Park Osaka from July 16-18, which will include a talk event with members of the cast and crew after each.
