That's just Chrome with a coat of paint
@@MaDmanEXE So what? Still better than firefox
I love how they had Jeremy Jordan be the one to sing Light’s songs in English as I consider myself a fan since he voiced Varian in the tangled show, played Winn in supergirl and recently voiced Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel.
Same!
Most stageplay adaptations of anime and games are pretty good.
I think it's because Japan doesn't shy away from the weirdness of it and leans into it whenever it can.
Seriously; Ace Attorney, Yakuza, Pokemon, Love is War, Bleach, One Piece, Gintama.
All cheesy and yet great because of it.
One piece has a musical?
And now Phantom Blood
Utena has one too. Which I NEED TO SEEEEEEEEEEE. Not sure if it is any good. But Utena.
and the upcoming Jojo part 1 musical too, I hope it live up the the absurdity of the media it's adapting!
@rebbecawitt581 If there’s an anime there’s a very good chance that there has been a musical based off it. The number of musicals they put out is absurd.
Wait, Only Human was from the Death Note musical. Mind blown
Let me guess: Did you hear it in a fan made animatic for Good Omens?
I know that’s where I first heard it and it’s how I first learned there was a Death Note musical. My mind was also _blown._
@@nemonomen3340 Yeah. I guess i just didn't read the title of the video or something
I haven't watched this yet. But I hope they changed the ending. One of the books had a really great alternate version idea where L sacrificed his life by writing his own name in the death note secretly and scheduled it a month or something away so that when Light tried to write his, it didn't work.
That must be the Novelization of the Japanese movie duology that came out in 06-07
They do it ends with L and Light dying together. Poetic af.
@@cancerstinks1those movies are seriously underrated. I think they’re pretty great coming as someone who has read the manga and watched the anime. I even like the 2016 sequel “Light up the New World”.
@@andrewmanchiraju8005 same they’re so good
@@cancerstinks1 Those movies are actually a trilogy, with the 3rd movie following L's last days on Earth.
The day this show is available in America, I will sell my soul just to get a ticket
You'll take a theater ticket....and buy it!
@@comicalcosmonaut959LMFAO
You and me both. Seeing this live is genuinely one of my life goals
Me as well. I'v been obsessed with the Japanese play ever since I discovered it. I finally got the CD from that on ebay. but I wish it had the whole play on it. I would sell my soul for a DVD of the play, too. Thanks to it, I discovered more Japanese plays too. Glad Day reminded me to check out the Korean version too.
@@Kastriona There’s a CD?! I have a bit of an obsession with death note dvds and such…
The music is so good and I hope we get a production in the states eventually
I have been listening to this since the English demo came out and I am shocked by how fantastic it is
The creative team of last year’s London production of Death Note are doing a production of one of Wildhorn’s other anime musicals, Your Lie in April, next month.
I really hope there’s a production of his Fist of the North Star musical soon. I also hope the Death Note London Cast Recording that was recorded is released soon.
Honestly I was quite surprised how good the music is and i’m pretty thankful that RUclips recommend me that.😺
I remember being in 8th grade when I first listened to the songs from this musical, I had the songs stuck in my head for a long time
always enjoy listening to the songs from this musical, and enjoy more people getting to learn about it now. Love Jeremy Jordan as Light in the concept album.
this would good if we got a cinematic version of the musical
The Chief Yagami actor is the same actor as the live action movie as well as the chairman in the Japanese Iron Chef.
HOLD UP! HE'S THE GUY THAT ATE THAT BELL PEPPER?!
@ComicDrake Yep yep.
It might also interest you that the London production is working on its concept album, set to be released soon, starring Joaquin Pedro-Valdes as Light, Dean John Wilson as L, Frances Mayli Mcann as Misa, the Aimee Atkinson as Rem, and Adam Pascal as Ryuk.
So that's why you were here last year! I had known about this from one of the streamers I follow on Twitch but I didn't expect those two independent events to be connected.
You have given me enough reasoning to try to go and see it. I'll keep an eye out if/when I can.
11:56 In the English version, as I have a recording of the London shows, the Task Force get their own song before the Reprise of Where Is The Justice, which is a Reprise of Change The World. I can’t remember if they are specifically names as Matsuda, Aizawa etc but in the script they are called that.
The clips can't really do it justice. Just listen to any one full song and you'll be hooked.
It really boggles the mind that more of these haven’t been translated to the west, there are SO MANY that could be translated and imported as ‘new’ shows.
So mad this isn't curently running on Broadway. I hope the london one does well enough to get it over the pond
I remember during the meetup you introduced us to the death note musical and ever since I have been hooked! Thank you for this awesome video!
YES YES GIVE THIS MUSICAL LOVE AND ATTENTION EVERYBODY AAAA
Yessss finally more ppl are hearing abt this!! Love the music and costumes it’s all incredible
Jeremy Jordan is also the voice for Lucifer on Hazbin Hotel. You should watch it.
I tried to giving it a shot when the original pilot dropped and I tried watching it again whenever the full show came out. It's not for me and that's fine.
@@ComicDrake that is totally fine! To each their own.
They really be turning everything into a musical and i kinda love it
Oh dang now I’m really disappointed I didn’t hear about this earlier! Given that the London run just completed I’m guessing there’s not a proshot of that production yet, hence why your footage is of the Japanese production, but still, I’d love to see the London show come to video eventually
Found out about this from some covers and then found the English album on RUclips and it really was surprisingly great.
I watched the video earlier, but after seeing your tiktok talking about the statistics, I had to rewatch and comment to boost the algorithm on this. Thanks for always putting in the time and effort to make such informed content Drake!
Love the call to go watch it on yt at the beginning. I shall return briefly
Omg death note Brasil mentioned!!!
(Thats us btw)
The whole cast LOVES this play, it was an honor for us to be able to be a part of it! (And to have the approval of Ivan Menchell himself 🥹)
Voçes fizeram um excelente trabalho! Felicitaçaões
@@ComicDrake muito obrigada ❤️🥹
IT'S US!!!
@@joaopedrofritz2656 É NÓS FRITZ
0:34 i thought he said i wanna rizz this guy for real 💀
DUDE I'M DYING 😂😂💀
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I think that when Light takes out L, that would have been good enough ending point, not to say the whole second half of the series was bad, it just feels like there was a set end point but someone somewhere said "I don't like that, end it a different way" or something like that.
The mangaka referenced that in their following serialized manga Bakuman. Basically Death Note was too popular, and the editor/publisher wouldn't let them end the series. At least that was how I interpreted it.
Personally, I think the Japanes live action movies handled the ending the best.
I ended up recreating a few of the instrumentals for anyone to use. They’re on my channel and got a pretty decent amount of views. I’ll eventually be completing the tracklist by the end of this year.
I'm not a big fan of Death Note but I do like musicals and I had no idea that musicals based on Manga or Anime were even a thing, so great video and I'm glad I watched it. 😁
Wonderful review and though I kind of think the ending is too abrupt, your analysis made me enjoy it just a bit more. I've been obsessed with this ever since I found it and thanks to it, I also discovered Elizabeth in Japanese which expanded my world too. I will definitely look for the Korean version and check out more Japanese media inspired plays.
This thumbnail and title are suggested to me...
And I'm like: "Who the what?"
I would absolutely love to see this!
I’m happy this series is getting love again ❤
I had no ideia there was a musical, but from what you said, it seems great!
As a big fan of death note the musical made me an even bigger fan. Netflix should have just recorded this and saved all that money they spent on the bad live action movie. Oh man this might be my fav musical
I really hope to watch it live someday
the fan-made ace attorney musicals are really good too!
I heard the songs loved em, and I love that you are talking about it
This is a damn good video. I love a lot of different atuff. Between comics videos, basketball, comedy, audiobooks, Meatcanyon, Flashgitz & many more I’m drowning in content. You me Oatreon notifications help. Sorry for missing out.
I love the songs, but seeing them on the stage leaves some stuff to be desired. That’s one reason why I think an animated adaptation of the musical would be perfect. You can be insanely inventive with animation, which is what I believe these songs deserve.
Really was crazy this was made into a musical
I was wondering if you were going to make a video out of this. :)
I really hope this ends up coming at least to some major theaters across the US if not Broadway itself eventually!
I didn’t know about Death Note in London though I do get a lot of ads for Spirited Away in London. It was definitely strange to see the premise of a Japanese anime adapted for the UK stage but I was tempted to see it if I had the money.
I just finished watching it and it was GOLD!
I’ve been listening to the English soundtrack and it’s just as gold as the Japanese sound track, plus Ryuk was mad funny the entire time 😂
it looks great, Im honna watch it
Drake you should do a video on the Crow since the trailer of the remake came out
This was really cool 🤩
FYI, the 2 Death Note Director's Cuts aren't movies. They are TV Specials.
I've been telling people this thing is great since, like, 2016/2017. Glad everyone's finally catching up, now that we're finally getting an official production of the English version. Now, if we could get the Black Butler musicals some official DVD releases with subs, too, that'd be great. 😂
Wait, I just thought of a loophole in the Death Note that I don't know if anyone ever tried. What if you write your own name in the death note but then write your time of death like 3000 years in the future? Even if it doesn't work and you die at your normal time of death, would it still give you invincibility against the deathnote from anyone else?
The death note cannot extend someone's life. So if you set a date for after someone's death it won't do anything. It stands to reason that if someone else uses the Death Note on you after you have written your own death that whoever's death is shorter is the one that happens
Where do i see this live?
Any thoughts on light up the NEW world?
Does anyone know where i can ACTUALLY watch the english version of the musical? Seen the original, not hard to find but i cannot find an english version that isnt a concept video.
It doesn't exist. Like I said the video, the only English production was in London and I don't believe there are any illegal recordings of it.
@@ComicDrake i was hoping there was a spliced version that had the english concept played over the japanese footage like how u presented it.
I could always just do it myself. Actually, ya know what? I will.
@@michael13849 I actually tried making that myself, but it didn't work out because of the differences in timing and sentence structure. Even how it's presented in this video was highly edited. Lots of moments were sped up and slowed down to fit with the flow.
Death Note The Musical 2015 Original Japanese Performance With English Concept Album Demo Songs
Would be great if you can dub over the songs that were not in the album though. I need a Where is the Justice (reprise)
only reason i knew about this in the first place i cuz frank *cant seem to write a musical without a ballad of some description* wildhorn did the american concept album
Uh going a little Waiting in the Wings there on us. Not complaining Hope to see more
Love this musical sm The Korean production is my personal favourite
Damnn I didnt know there was a musical😍😍
This is nuts
finally someone is covering the masterpeice that is deathnote the musical. they're only human is easily the best song
Super super cool video
Absolutely out of left field but still great.
Where do I watch this online
Ok. I am a Comic Drake fan. I am a MASSIVE Death Note fan. I am a theater kid. Did I ever think they would all combine into one? No! Am I glad that they did? YES!
I ain't finding the whole musical on youtube. Has it been taken down already? All I can find are random clips. If possible I'd really like to see the whole thing without flying to japan.
Literally the first result when I searched it lol ruclips.net/video/bGci1ixhveI/видео.htmlsi=9WCkmKqAjhKb6tH0
I'll go ahead and add it to the description in case anybody else has a hard time finding it.
@@ComicDrakemakin' me look like a dang fool up here, Drake XD XD XD
Thank you!
I felt that Ren's love for Misa in the anime comes across more as motherly, whike the manga does lean in a bit more from motherly to romantic but, yeah, not as much, which personally made it more tragic because Ren never gets to clearly understand her "human emotions".
Omg Death Note Musical Brazil 🤩😍
I was there!!!
Every surviving kryptonian
I swear, they make the catchiest songs for these anime musicals. Say what you will about the Bleach musicals, "Hona Sainara" is still a banger
Wait... You were in London?
You really gotta make a Manga Drake channel 😂
“It only covers the first 26 episodes”
Those are the only episodes. There’s no other episodes. None. Zip. Zilch.
👍
I LIKE MUSICALS and i found out why i wasn't notified...I wasn't subscribed on this channel...so my b but I am now
I prefer how the second movie ended things.
3:35I've heard a little bit of this song on TikTok, but I had no idea that it was from Death Note.
Boost!
And then Light Yagami would go on to be Lucifer 😉
I will forever defend the concept (and only the concept) of the death note live action movie being changed from critiquing japans terrifyingly corrupt 99% conviction rate and guilty-until-proven-innocent system into critiquing American gender dynamics and modern America’s specific obsession with glorifying mass acts of violence
Granted, still a horrible movie, but I do love the concept of making a new death note story being centralized around a new social issue instead of the same ones, especially since that’s a very national issue for Japan
Granted, I wish it was still focused on the legal system but America’s instead. I also wish it was, y’know, good.
Also, you used the wrong “dye” lmao
Pretty sure the singular of dice is die.
@@ComicDrakeMy apologies, I thought casting die meant the coloring type of die. I must regretfully say that I am, in fact, stupid
The death note musical is something I was always jokingly interested in and I decided to finally watch and I was surprised how much I was into it. I don't think it stands up musically to something like dear even Hanson, but seeing something ive loved and has been a huge part of your life (death note was the first anime I fully watched and is still in my top 5) be lovingly adapted so well actually made me emotional when watching it. It's something I haven't really felt since watching the Harry Potter movies as a kid.
light is voiced by jeremy jordan and you were surprised that the musical is good?
AND YOU THOUGHT OF HIM AS A CHARACTER FROM THE SUPERGIRL SHOW AND NOT AS THE FUCKING LEAD OF NEWSIES!?
You need to see the legally blonde musical if you're surprised that any musical is good
I'll take this comment... and post it
Odd sound quality
There's only so much I can do when recording while traveling. 🤷
