I don't know if you're still doing the musicals thing but I HAVE to send you death note the musical (both japanese and korean) (did you know the korean one is finally fully subbed)

I DID NOT KNOW. THIS IS LIKE CHRISTMAS FOR ME.

Probably, dead serious, the best, or at least one of the best musicals Frank Wildhorn’s ever created. And I put a lot of it on him having the source material basically holding his leash there. It’s hard to really SELL to people because it’s such an inherently ODD concept, but then you see it on stage and you’re like “Oh. Okay. This works. This works REALLY well.” Personally, I think it’s a HELL of a lot better than the source material, given that it condenses a lot of the filler into two hours, focusing purely on the L/Light conflict. (SORRY NEAR, MATT, AND MELLO FANS. And RIP Takada. I love you, but you were never going to be adapted fairly anyway.)

And it also does a really, really good job of expanding the characterization of the characters that it DOES choose to focus on. Rem in particular is a STANDOUT, since they really go all in when it comes to her conflict with mortality and her feelings with Misa. While a part of me is obviously going to wish that the first piece of explicit queer rep that Wildhorn did wouldn’t be one where one of them DIES, it’s still fantastic to see and HEARTWRENCHING, and Rem gets what I personally consider to be the best number in the show. It also really goes in DEEP as far as showing that, just because L is opposing Light, he is not A Good Guy. He is someone who’s willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if that involves people getting hurt, even if that involves people dying or being tortured. “The Game Begins.”

I DEEPLY appreciate that they kept the ending of Light begging and crying as he dies, because on top of being a personal moment of catharsis for the audience, it’s also a BIG moment as far as showing that there IS no glory in Light. All his pretensions, all his plans and his intelligence (even if his intelligence always was “That one dude in the philosophy class who interrupts the teacher and quotes Dawkins every five seconds”), “[He] still kicked it like any other mortal,” begging and screaming for a life that had already run out. I REALLY like that this production allowed for Soichiro Yagami to live and to have that one moment of HORROR in the end, as his own words from earlier must be ringing in his head. There’s really NO closure, even though Light’s dead, and I appreciate that it showed that, as well as the fact that the victims of what he did extended WAY past just the names he inked onto the page.

So, now on for the individual productions. I’m not as well versed in the Korean as I am with the Japanese, so bear with me.

Personally, as far as the L’s are concerned, I am VERY pro-Teppei Koike. I wasn’t particularly fond of his take at first, but seeing how he puts on the mannerisms, the crouches, the little tics that make L **L**, I really grew to appreciate him, especially after seeing his Ronan in 1789 and realizing “HEY. HE’S GOT *RANGE*” He might not have Junsu’s vocals, but his voice has a certain coolness to it that lends itself really well to the role, and he doesn’t take a lot of the lazy shortcuts that Junsu does (See: His Der Tod, where he apparently thought that growling = menace.)

Obviously, for the Lights, it’s gotta be Hong Kwang Ho. The man is PHENOMENAL and tbh is probably one of my favorite male vocalists. He does a FANTASTIC job showing Light’s descent in Hurricane, capable of going from scared, a little tentative, to taking a FIRM slide into darkness, with his voice completely overpowering the audience by the end. I actually LIKE the other Korean Light, but the poor guy REALLY had big shoes to fill.

On one hand, I LIKE how strong the Korean Misa’s voice is; I’m always here for voices with substance, but on the other hand, I REALLY like how YOUNG the Japanese Misa is, and she has a lot of energy in her performance. Misa, at least to me, isn’t a character that NEEDS to be overpowering, she’s YOUNG, she makes questionable decisions, and there’s a sense of deadly innocence about her that masks the dark side that I feel like the Japanese Misa does better with.

No opinion on the Rems. All Rems are Good and Valid and I love them. Though I did nearly do a flip when Korean!Rem turned out to be Elsa. I thought that it was hilarious, personally.

I’m constantly torn on the Ryuuk designs. On one hand, I LIKE the whole “drunken uncle” look of the original cast, but I also like the Korean for the relative attempt at accuracy. I REALLY like the 2017 take on Ryuuk, though, because it really shows him as kind of drawing the line at Rem’s death. Like, it’s all fun and games, and then she dies, and he’s like “Yeah, the kid’s stopped being fun.” Which adds even MORE to the sense that Light managed to dig his own grave. He got cocky, he thought that he could cause a shinigami to turn to dust and he wouldn’t face any consequences, because he’s The God of the New World, but he forgot that Ryuuk wasn’t loyal to HIM. And, as ODD as the relationship between him and Rem was (I personally lean towards “Weird siblings”), he knew her for a LOT longer than he knew Light. Mortals are expendable, but I think it becomes Real after that.

That, and Ryuuk is genuinely getting bored.

Maybe that's the condition on which he would join

Yup, that makes sense.

@kurogane-no-shounen replied to your post  “@nekkyousagi replied to your post  “Hit me up with your stupid PMK...”

Considering he composed his own haiku, makes sense he would compose the songs - and they are awful as well XD              

Fret not, for he only writes the lyrics, so the music itself is probably decent (I mean, they need to get fans somehow)

Uhm uhm symmetra?

Sexuality Headcanon: She lesbianGender Headcanon: She transA ship I have with said character: Symmeitra is objectively the best Symm ship, but I also think Symmaker could be really nice.A BROTP I have with said character: There’s a scrapped voiceline where Brigitte raves over Satya’s hard light and I wish they had kept that in so bad!! I can see Satya being wary of Brig when she first meets her but no, finally, a Lindholm who appreciates her work! Also I love her, Hanzo, Widow, and Akande being glam and judgmental together.A NOTP I have with said character: Her and any man but especially her and J/unkrat lmao... it has this big ass undercurrent of “he fixes her auti– I mean how obsessed with order and neatness she is!” and like the idea that Satya needs fixing but especially from the worst man in the world lmaoA random headcanon: Sort of based off her comic– I think she would be super good with kids, like very willing to be direct and open with them but also compassionate towards them and wanting to help them. When she’s able to break free from Vishkar, I think she would do a ton of Big Sister sort of programs for kids in Hyderabad. General Opinion over said character: I love how she is motivated by a desire to help and her enormous compassion, she’s such a good person and good character and I want content of her now please!!!

Send Me a Character!!

death note for the musical asks?

the first song from this show I heard: The Game Begins, I think? I think I was looking up Junsu’s work in Dracula because I’m a thot for that musical and was like, “…Wait a second? Death Note? Frank Wildhorn? THE FUCK?” do I own the cast album?: Yes. favorite song: Either When Love Comes or Stalemate. least favorite song: (Don’t shoot me!) “Hero”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a SOLID song, it’s pretty much the only real bit of development we get for Light’s sister so it’s important, and it’s important as far as establishing Misa. I can’t really say there aren’t any solid songs in this musical, because this is honestly imo Frank Wildhorn at his best (probably because I strongly, strongly suspect someone was holding his leash on it), but if I had to choose, it would probably be this one. favorite character: REM. least favorite character: Light motherfucking Yagami. Thank God this musical gave us the ending we deserved to see after dealing with him for two hours. OTP: Misa/Rem. BROTP: I’m honestly really intrigued by the Rem/Ryuk…friendship? I have a hard time really calling it that, since they’re not exactly FRIENDS, but like…brother/sister, favorite prank victim/prank mastermind? I don’t THINK Ryuk cares all that much, given that he almost seems to be taunting her during the “Mortals and Fools” Reprise, but I think there are different ways you can spin that? I don’t know, but it’s one of the elements that the musical kind of gave us that wasn’t there anywhere else, which now I’m really kind of curious about.NOTP: Misa/Light and Misa/L. Making Misa a much more sympathetic character really, really highlighted how badly the male characters tend to treat her. Like, in the series proper, she essentially blackmails Light, so it’s not exactly a healthy relationship for all ends involved, even after they’ve been together for years. But here…the dynamics change a lot. song I didn’t like at first but now do: “Honor Bound.” I’m blunt that most of the time I’m really fond of the fast, intense songs over slower, more thoughtful songs; it’s why I think I tend to like Wildhorn’s stuff, despite regularly calling him out whenever I get the opportunity, but when you actually LISTEN to what’s going on in Honor Bound…wow. song I used to like but now don’t: I get a little tired of “Playing His Game” being propped instead of “Stalemate,” since they both deal with essentially the same vibe and I tend to prefer the 3-part structure of Stalemate (I would marry when Misa comes on stage and joins them, but I can’t really say that I actually DISLIKE it? Like, again, I can’t really say I dislike anything in this musical, and it’s not even really at my lower end and I can understand why it gets the appreciation it has? Like, (1) It probably better encapsulates the L-Light conflict that drives the plot, (2) It’s a hell of a lot easier to do at concerts, since you only need two people, and (3) It’s hella gay. is the fandom annoying?: I think we’re all too busy going “NO REALLY IT’S GOOD IF YOU’LL JUST–” to get into any discourse. do I read/write fanfic for this show?: I’ve read all the musical-specific fanfic I can get ahold of. I’d consider writing fanfic, even though imo I’m really not sure what I would actually DO besides maybe give Rem and Misa the ending they deserve and have Light’s family deal with the ramifications of the finale, but tbh I’m much happier dealing with things that happened more than a hundred years ago.favorite non-sung line: “I’m Kira, damn it! I’m the God…of the new world!” *Cue death*favorite lyric: “Very well, let us concede the existence of Shinigami/But it is no God who judges life/The one who bestows meaning to life and death is man himself” (AKA the song that I REALLY wish we had an English demo for, because it deserves it). overall rating out of 10: 8. Even if you don’t like Death Note, WATCH THIS MUSICAL. It really distills the spirit of the original without losing...anything, really? While expanding a lot of the characterization.
