Lilas Ikuta

Lilas Ikuta is the subject of the two-part documentary Lilas Dreams & Memories, which Disney will stream on Disney+ and air on Disney Channel on December 30. She is also in the cast of the immersive music live Belle, which has cast five vocalists as the new diva LAYRA.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 13h ago

Lilas Ikuta's coverage in these two stories runs on separate tracks. The newer one is a Disney documentary built around her and her attachment to Disney's High School Musical films. The two-part Lilas Dreams & Memories streams on Disney+ and airs on Disney Channel on December 30. Disney put out a trailer for the Japanese version, Ikuta Lilas Dreams & Memories, on November 7, alongside a video of ikura covering "Start of Something New" from the 2006 film.

The earlier story places her in a different production. The immersive music live Belle has a new protagonist, LAYRA, a virtual artist debuting under Sony Music's Echoes label. Five vocalists, miwa, Konomi Suzuki, Natsumi Kon, ASCA, and Maria Miki, play the role. Rira Ikuta and Tomoyo Kurosawa join the cast, and the opening song is previewed. The story does not say which part Ikuta plays.

What connects the two is that both are performance projects with her name attached, one on camera and one on stage. The documentary is the more concrete of the two: it has a confirmed format, a confirmed date, and confirmed platforms. The Belle casting is a cast announcement with no role detail. Neither story gives a release date for the Belle live.
