I don't know how or why this came up in my recommended videos, but it's cool. Thank goodness for Google Translate so I could figure out that this is from a Japanese production of Elisabeth featuring Yu Shirota and Mari Hanafusa. Gotta say, I can see the David Bowie influence in Yu Shirota's performance. Even the costuming reminds me of his iconic role as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth. (And yes, the character he's playing was written as being is based on a combination of Heinrich Heine and David Bowie.)
English Translation (approximate): - For your love I am able to face against His Majesty the Emperor. But you chose him and now you intend to escape from me. The love that you two profess is nothing more than a farce. And, while in the arms of his majesty, with great sweetness, you smile at me placidly. - That's a lie! - The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. The Habsburgs are declining. The guests in the hall hold their breath. Our duet can't wait any longer. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. All this time I have been watching you from the dark. So, the final victor will be me. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. All this time I have been watching you from the dark. So, the final victor will be me.
This is a story about Emperor Franz Joseph's wife, Elizabeth. She was very young (15 or 16) when she married him. At her wedding, Death personified attends as a guest. Death and Elizabeth fell in love earlier in the play, before she met Franz Joseph, when she almost died after a fall and he couldn't bring himself to take her. Her relationship with Death personified is the underlying theme and love triangle in the story. In this piece, he warns her that even though she's giving her time and body to the Austrian emperor, that she belongs to him and that *HE* will have the last dance. What's absolutely lovely about this is that a German play about an Austrian empress (she was NOT Hungarian) has been adapted in Japanese. It has also been done (very well, I might add) in Korean with Kim Junsu playing the role of Der Tod (Death) and of course, the German version with Mark Seibert. The German version is available with subtitles for anyone that wants to get the whole story. Just search for Elizabeth das Musical English subtitles.

@@0rchid71 It's a musical adaption of the Roman Polanski movie "The Fearless Vampire Killers" and I think it's by the same writers as this Musical (Elisabeth).
@@johnreed3191 I'd watch it 100% even though I know only a handful of Japanese phrases. I would not care if it weren't subtitled; I know the original well enough to follow it perfectly.
Holy FUCK. I've never heard Shirota Yu sing in this register before, and it's A LOT. The look is SO GOOD too! I only know about this musical from my bestie who was into the OG musical but wow. His movement & mannerisms as Death are chilling. I also really like the skeleton back tats on the backup dancers!
So, this shows up in my recommended for some random reason and I start researching it and find out that the guy playing Death, Yu Shirota, is SPANISH. Born in Spain to a Spanish mother and Japanese father, and he played Tuxedo Mask in the Sailor Moon Musicals (cuz, y'know, there's more than one. Oh Japan...) I was just surprised when the first thing that comes up when you search his name is "Spanish Actor" - I was like...wat?! Also, he's stupid tall, like 6'3". This dude defies everything you think you know about Japanese musical leading men. Or at least everything I thought *I* knew...
Not surprised, really. It's most likely partially the costuming, but he looks almost exactly like an anime character come to life - particularly that bad boy character that all the female fans swoon over.
DER TOD: When it comes to your love I fight against His Majesty You chose him To escape from me The love between both of you is a sham While being held in the Emperor’s arms You are also smiling softly at me ELISABETH: That’s a lie! DER TOD: The final dance belongs to me Your destiny is to dance with me The Habsburg Empire is falling to ruins The guests in the hall are holding their breaths They are anxiously waiting for The duet between you and I The final dance belongs to me Your dance with me is destiny I’m watching intently from within the darkness The final victory is mine The final dance belongs to me Your dance with me is destiny The final dance belongs to me (The final dance) Your dance with me is destiny (Belongs to me) (I’m watching intently from within the darkness) (The final victory) (Victory) Is mine!
A lot of ppl including me thought of david bowie’s jareth with good reason! Fun fact, On the musical’s wiki page death is inspired to be like david bowie!
Sorry i forgot to put source just in case, here you go. “Death, the personification of the abstract concept of "Death" or the "Grim Reaper". His appearance is modeled on the poet Heinrich Heine who was fascinated by Elisabeth, and the rock singer David Bowie.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_(musical)
The female actress is so expressive! I could really feel her pain and anguish as she’s caught up in something against her will. Well done to both main actors!
Idk what this is but its intriguing! The singing and choreography was really good. Also I was getting labyrinth vibes from this. I mean just the costumes alone looked so similar to Sarah's iconic ballgown. I'd love to see the full performance
It's a japanese rendition of the german/austrian musical 'elisabeth'. The song in question is called 'the last dance' and what's happening is that death has fallen for queen elisabeth of austria-hungary and is trying to seduce her. The whole musical is great, no matter in which language!
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm so happy to discover this, and now I've come to really adore this production, especially with Yu Shirota as Der Tod.
Right before this scene sissy decided to marry the emperor, even though her and the emperors parents wanted her sister to be married to the emperor instead. In this scene death (the guy with the blond hair) sings that while she chose to turn away from him and instead marry the emperor, the last dance would still belong to him (=death).
Hungarian here. Austrian Empress Elisabeth was totally the Queen of Hungary as well, she was crowned in 1867. Hungarians remember her fondly for her love for Hungary and also for her role in bringing about the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, which partially restored the country's sovereignty. It is awesome to see her story brought to life in the opposite corner of the world, by people from a completely different culture. Really great performance! :)
I'd never even heard of this musical before. I don't even like musicals, with a few exceptions. But RUclips recommended this to me out of the blue today, and now I'm down a rabbit hole reading about Empress Elisabeth and then watching the stage play.
Omg it really is Yu Shirota as the male lead! This guy can nail so many roles from a macho tsundere to a shy awkward teen and now a David Bowie type of character in a musical, I can't. Is there something he can't act? I love him. I'm glad RUclips decided out of the blue to recommend me this today.
I just LOVE everything about this performance. I have watched it in hungarian, german and korean too. Yu Shirota brings a sexy melancholy without really being evil. Perfect.
OMG!I seen this live in 1996 in my home towns open theatre when I was a little girl. I was in love with "death"....it is such a good play about our beloved Queen Sissi! It also captures her mental struggles as "Death" represents her depression and anxiety too. I wish many people would be able to come to see it in Szeged with Dom,the big church as backgound and stage as I seen it...under the stars on a warm summer night...makes me so homesick and want to run home from London :)
I honestly clicked on this thinking Labyrinth had a musical adaptation I didn't know about, it didn't, but I can't say I was dissapointed as this is great.

It's 'The Last Dance' or in the original german 'Der Letzte Tanz.' Death is angry at Elizabeth for getting married, but reminds her that ultimately she will be his in the end. Uwe Kroger is my favorite Death. If you like this song you'll probably love Die Schatten werden länger, which is super ear worm material but it's so good it's not even a problem! Elisabeth is such a great musical to discover and geek out about. Enjoy the journey!
Honestly I clicked on this hoping to find a Labyrinth musical. I'm not entirely disappointed, but I'll keep looking for my Labyrinth musical elsewhere Edit cool cape and coreography though!
Der letzte Tanz, der letzte Tanz, gehört allein nur mir. Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz, tanz ich nur mit dir. The german song of this is called "Der letzte Tanz" from the musical Elisabeth.
I knew I recognized him from my days of watching J-dramas, but I couldn't pinpoint his name! Lol. Thanks! (I was thinking of his appearance in the 2007 Hana Kimi, which I've watched half a dozen times by now... does he age!?)
When Death sees you at a party and he's dressed like Goth Jareth and starts swinging his cape and serenading you--
If he looks like this, Death can have me.

We've all confirmed that the ideal man is David Bowie as Jareth and anyone imitating his style
agreed. I honestly thought that was going to0 be a japanese rendition of As the World Falls

It's a japanese rendition of the german/austrian musical 'elisabeth'. The song in question is called 'the last dance' and what's happening is that death has fallen for queen elisabeth of austria-hungary and is trying to seduce her.
The whole musical is great, no matter in which language!
ブラボー！ よくできた劇場作品！ 彼女の歌も聞きたかったのですが、私自身は 18 歳のときから演劇のプロとして活動してきました。カナダから来た友達のベッカ、こんにちは。 (3 が私のお気に入りの数字なので、その単語は Roarr! で 3 文字の r をカスタマイズしたスペルです)

bravo! well done piece of theatre! although I did want to hear her sing as well, I have done theatre professionaly since the age of 18 myself and hello from me Becca your friend from Canada, good bye Roar! (my customized spelling that word is Roarr! with 3 letter r s because 3 is my favorite number) ~ Roarr!
I’m not gonna lie, I like this version so much better than the German version.
Me too, i like how der tod is more seductive here
Saw this guy a million years ago in some silly dorama as a side character. So happy he gets roles like this now :D
Silly drama😂
But that’s why I was pleasantly surprised that he was actually capable of performing a musical such as this
당신은 사랑에 눈이멀어(?) 이렇게 황제와 웃고있어, 당신은 그를 골랐어, 나로부터 도망쳐서. 두사람의 사랑은 겉치레, 황제의 팔에 안겨, 당신은 나를 보며 웃고있어(?) 마지막 춤은 나의 것, 너는 나와 춤추추게 될 운명 .
합스부르크의(여기는 모르겠어요) 숨죽여 나와의 듀엣을 애타게 기다리고있어. 마지막 춤은 나의 것, 너는 나와 춤추기로 정해져있어, 어둠 속에서 바라보고 있어 마지막에 이기는 것은 바로 나야!
대충 이런 느낌입니다..알고리즘 귀신같네...겨울 바람 싹 불면 엘리 봐야죠...한국은 언제 올려주나.....
한국버전 가사 :한 여잘 사랑하는 두 남자의- 뻔하지만 새로운 이야기- 너의 결혼식에 난 손님일 뿐, 날 버리고 미소짓는 너- 너의 선택이 과연, 진심일까? 그를 향한 환상은 착각일 뿐, 미소를 지으며, 안겨있지만, 환상에서 깨어날 거야. 마지막 춤-마지막 춤- 넌 나와 춰야 해, 마지막 춤, 네 마지막 춤 결국은 나와 함께.
깊은 어둠 속으로-빠져들거야, 조용히 은밀하게, 서서히 내게로- 마지막 춤-마지막 춤- 넌 나와 춰야 해, 마지막 춤, 네 마지막 춤 결국은 나와 함께. 우리 둘이서-
What’s the name of this song in English? It’s intoxicatingly beautiful
It's 'The Last Dance' or in the original german 'Der Letzte Tanz.' Death is angry at Elizabeth for getting married, but reminds her that ultimately she will be his in the end. Uwe Kroger is my favorite Death. If you like this song you'll probably love Die Schatten werden länger, which is super ear worm material but it's so good it's not even a problem! Elisabeth is such a great musical to discover and geek out about. Enjoy the journey!
Thank you so much!
城田トート、見てみたい

Honestly I clicked on this hoping to find a Labyrinth musical. I'm not entirely disappointed, but I'll keep looking for my Labyrinth musical elsewhere
Edit cool cape and coreography though!
Der letzte Tanz, der letzte Tanz, gehört allein nur mir. Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz, tanz ich nur mit dir.
The german song of this is called "Der letzte Tanz" from the musical Elisabeth.
I don't know what I'm doing here but DAMN I like this song
I saw the thumbnail and just went "Yess Japanese Elizabeth!" I've got to say I really like this version!
I have no idea what the title says, but that thumbnail was impossible to ignore
It's been a while since I last saw Shirota Yu. Good thing RUclips recommended this to me :)
I knew I recognized him from my days of watching J-dramas, but I couldn't pinpoint his name! Lol. Thanks! (I was thinking of his appearance in the 2007 Hana Kimi, which I've watched half a dozen times by now... does he age!?)
@@Emilytea He's probably a vampire of some sort.
Yu shirota really does look like a prince ^^
