初演時に生で観ました。
生まれてからずっと家族にさえ煙たい目で見られてきて、妹のお世話をすることでしか自分の存在を認めてもらえなかったエルファバ。
そんな彼女が初めて自分自身に希望を見出すことができた瞬間に、パーンと花が咲いたかのように歌うこのナンバーが大好きです。
他の方のエルフィーも好きですが、私の中ではやっぱり濱田エルフィーが一番のようです。
元気が出る。
私の中のエルファバは濱田さんです
I love it !
濱めぐさん、最高すぎる！！❤
すき〜〜！！
I no! but people that say she is bad, I dont understand, I think Megumi is FANTASTIC
I think she's awesome!! (I remember a time when people would just sing a song - and not worry about HAVING to riff.)
すごい！
まいった！！
濱めぐ最高すぎる❤
やっぱり濱田めぐみさんしか勝たんよなぁ…
Even though Morrible was already dead, Elphaba could still be charged with attempted murder, since she meant to kill her.
Pls pls add subtitles :(
I am also reading the book and I am finding it also a little bit difficult to read.
I love it though (I'm dutch too)
Don't worry it's difficult to read for a native English speaker too. Gregory Maguire is really overly verbose
No, she was already dead. Elphaba just crushed her head.

Its ok, I only really know a little. Could you explain it? The end of the song goes
"The Wizard, and I~"(note held out)
And the japanese goes, "I dream"
It's actually "My dream". "Atashi no" means "my", "yume" is dream, so "my dream".
The last words of the song were, "I dream" ? I dont get it.
This number's importance is how much oz is important to elphaba. Japanese translation just say "my dream". I understand the languages are different.But i think this is too far:( well, the singer is pretty good though.
Ohhhh,
Ok so the ending as a whole makes sense if I actually understood the whole ting.
*facepalm*
To have a deep female voice in Japan is seen as an off characteristic. This is why Elphaba sounds this way here.
Culturally, I get it. But that just defeats the purpose of how Elphaba isn't supposed to be an evil role in Wicked.
Notmatt Not really. In the American standard she looks like the stereotypical “bad witch” for the same reason as her low voice here: the audience must be TAUGHT that Elphaba isn’t evil. The story revolves around a person everyone assumes is evil based on misconceptions. The audience isn’t supposed to know she’s good right off. They have to learn her story.
It seems all the Japanese Elphabas don't project that much power, live or in studio. I think they're directed not to.
And shame on those of you who voted them down for an opinion!
Unagi Maki & a Sapporo please
A little to whiny for my taste, but then again that's me.
...Maybe a little english?
I think she's a bit rubbish. She may be way better live, but where Menzel and Verkaik project their power even in the studio, this woman has none. It might be a language thing too... this might be the Japanese idea of the perfect Elphaba. To me, she's awful. I hate that weird vibrato and she seems to wimp out on high notes.
thelovepigeon It is the Japanese idea of the perfect Elphaba. Her voice is supposed to be low and menacing, even bombastic, as that is seen as stereotypically “evil” in Japan. In America, it doesn’t sound quite as good because our musical tastes are different. IMO, this woman is fantastic, not only in raw vocal skills, but in portraying a foreign character in a fashion her people can understand well.
@Nogi Gin Megumi Hamada is one of my favourite performers. Her Rem in *Death Note* is genuinely awe-inspiring to me. If there were ONE cast member from the Japanese productions I'd want to see brought over for an English production, it's either her as Rem or Teppei Koike as L. Or Takeshi Kaga as Soichiro. Okay maybe I just love the whole 2015 cast.
濱田さん上手すぎ！
