Footnotes:
- On 07/19/2018 it was announced that, due to injury, Aren Touma would be absent from Messiah until further notice. It was subsequently announced that she would be absent from the remainder of the Grand Theater and Tokyo performances. Ichinose Kouki was announced as Aren's understudy; Naoto Akira took over Ichinose's part and played the role of Tasaki Shigeyoshi from 7/19 until the end of the Tokyo run. Aren was also absent from the shinjin kouen; Naoto Akira's shinko role was changed from Ashizuka Chuuemon to Taga Mondo.
- While the official Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern shinjin kouen performances were canceled due to the COVID-19 theater closures, the shinjin kouen was performed internally, without an audience. A digest of this performance later aired on Sky Stage as part of the Shinjin Kouen Digest series.
