#and had friends who were super into it who gave me general overview

I don't know if you've seen Death Note, but I've een listening to the musical of it again with Danganronpa on the mind... so I was imagining Danganronpa characters to the songs. A lot of the L and Light songs remind me of Enogiri, which then got me thinking well who would be Misa, which... obviously it would be Mikan. So Junko as Light, Kyouko as L, and Mikan as Misa... sounds chaotic already. Though... honestly I think Junko fits Ryuk better personality wise, and if Light reminds me of anyone it's honestly Kyosuke. But that would completely wreck the Enogiri and Junkan angles so who even knows. (Mild death note spoilers, but) I honestly think the whole situation would be massively different with Junko with the Death Note than Light with it. So maybe everything would be much different in how it plays out - with Junko's motive being despair and world wide chaos instead of justice. And then how does Mukuro fit into this? (End)

I also just imagined regular DR to the songs, like not a death note AU, just regular DR to the songs. Kyosuke is "where is the justice?", Mukuro and Junko are both singing "they're only human" (with the line "I'm intrigued by their love" being about her crush on Makoto), "secrets and lies" I was actually imagining the DR3 killing game (with "familiar faces watch you, but with a perfect strangers eyes" being a reference to Chisa and her deal), and "mortals and fools" being a duet with either Ryota or Nagito in Rems role and Mikan in Misa, with either of them trying to convince her that Junko is bad news. Misa songs in general to Mikan... I also was imagining borrowed time to be a duet between Mikan and Nagito, with Nagito singing about Chiaki and Mikan Junko. Idk. The Death Note musical is good. I think all of L and Light's songs are great for enogiri ("the game begins", "stalemate", and "playing his game") and I can't get the idea of Misa!Mikan out of my head...

I, unfortunately, have not seen Death Note. It has its first chapter published in Shonen Jump around the time that my undiagnosed OCD was not doing so great (it ebbs and flows), and the premise of "once you use this Death Note as a human being, you can never go to heaven or hell," despite the fact that the protagonist didn't necessarily know that sent my brain alarms going off and bothered me so much that I determined to never read more of it. Or see it.

Which is unfortunate because I've heard so, so many good things about it.

Alas.

But! I enjoy your analysis and thoughts on who each character would be! And songs! And how to set all that up!

I just. don't necessarily get it on the level someone else who knows both canon would. ><

(But someone else around here probably does?????)

Sorry!!
