[Eng Subs DL] Musical Yuukoku no Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) Op. 5 - "The Final Problem"

Hello, hello~! I am happy to finally share with you the finished English subtitles for MoriMyu Op. 5~

It took a lot longer for me to finish than I'd like to admit, but it is here, it is finished~ ＼(≧▽≦)／ Op. 5 covers chapters 48-56 (+67) of the manga or the last few episodes of the anime for those who followed along with that as well. As the title suggests, it is the penultimate of Sherlock and William's story. We've gone through a lot with them in so many forms, and I'm so glad that the musical gave us such a beautiful rendition of the story. I do believe it will make you cry as well!

Anyway, enough rambling from me. I will be updating the folder with the bonus content subs along the way, but just for extra measure, I'll reblog the original post when they're all up~!

BD PURCHASE LINK (International cards and shipping accepted!): CDJapan BD Version | DVD Version

Official Sites: Twitter | Website (MoriMyu General) | Website (Op. 5) MoriMyu Op. 1 Subtitles | MoriMyu Op. 2 Subtitles | MoriMyu Op. 3 Subtitles | MoriMyu Op. 4 Subtitles

Links, notes, and disclaimers under the cut, enjoy~!

NOTES:

※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED!

All songs and lyrics were translated by me. A bit of creative liberty was exercised to fit context and some cultural references. As usual, the lyrics actually help move the plot, so I didn’t include the romaji for any of them.

Again, I’m not a native British English speaker, so some terms might be off. I consulted with a friend to help me check them, just in case, but please forgive any mistakes.

As usual, some scenes in the musical differ from the anime/manga for time and fluidity’s sake, so please don’t hit me for things that I can’t control ^^;

There aren’t particularly any triggering scenes here, but please do watch with caution since some subjects and terms used might be sensitive and/or triggering for other viewers.

RULES:

[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.

Please DO NOT remove my credits.

Please DO NOT re-translate without permission.

SUBS DL LINK: GOOGLE DRIVE

※ Please only DM me if there is a problem with the subtitles. I cannot help you if it’s related to the videos.

※ If you enjoyed my work, please consider buying me a coffee here, if you can. It’ll really help me out a lot.(o^▽^o) Thank you!!

Adoption request for Mahoroba Kanata into the Hakumyu fan community

“Mahoroba Kanata” is a original work of the screen writer Nishida Daisuke, it follows the story of the Choshu clan centered by Takasugi Shinsaku, set in the Bakumatsu period. “Mahoroba” also called the ‘land of blessings’ in the Japanese folklore is something Takasugi dreams of to obtain.

Why do I want adopt it into Hakumyu (Hakuouki)?

The reason are simple and overflowing:

time period and story: 1) both are settled in the Bakumatsu period in a time frame between 1850ties and 1860ties 2) both are concentrate on a contrary opinions, none of them follows the concept of “We are right, you are wrong” 3) there is lot of suffering (maybe a bit more love in Mahoroba) 4) both like to joke and have unique, relatable characters 5) all characters are as well based on real history figures

cast and stuff 1) well as said before: Nishida Daisuke as director (active in Hakumyu since 2018) 2) Tomita Maho: - fourth Chizuru in Kazama Hen                            - playing the role of Shinsaku’s faithfull and tomboiish                                   wife O-Masa 3) Tanoue Marina: - fifth Chizuru in Toudou Hen                               - playing the younger sister of Yoshida Shouin, named                                  Fumi 4) Motonishi Sakiho: - ninth Chizuru in Shitan Kazama Hen                                  - playing the lover of Takasugi Shinsaku, called Ouno 5) Matsuda Ryo: - first Saito Hajime active until Kazama Hen                            - playing the role of Katsuragi Goro

Shinsengumi yes, they do appear and they play a minor role

publication and fandom since it’s on one side an original work and on the other side not part of a series, there’s is no ‘active’ fandom, I would claim (at least outside of Japan) AND they don’t plan on ever publishing a DVD/BD, but since it’s such a high quality play, I find it sad to let it disappear into history’s shadow.

Why is Mahoroba Kanata attractive on it’s own?

It’s easy to be answered, because it has it all: great music, great story, overwhelming feelings, great actors and great acting, fun bits and good bits and and tearing apart sad parts, great visuals, a beautiful stage - did I forgot something?

As an alcroft/myal (MycroftxAlbert) shipper, this track just gives me the BIGGEST FEELS. I mean, sure it’s 95% Mycroft’s song and I edited in Albert’s one line, but this entire scene just gives me so many alcroft feels, it’s AMAZING. I cannot count with all my toes and fingers how many times I’ve rewatched this scene. LOL

Fan Account: ai-da-ice at Chiruran Shinsengumi Requiem

When I found out Toru and Sota would be having their stage debut with an adaptation of the manga series “Chiruran Shinsengumi Requiem,” I knew I had to go. I was of course anxious about the level of my Japanese and how much of the story I’d be able to understand on my own, but nothing could make me too anxious to pass up the chance to see two precious members of my favorite group hone and display their acting skills. So as soon as ticketing opened up, I purchased a ticket to see the play on April 25 at 7 pm at the Tennzou Galaxy Theater.

Doors for the venue, a very lovely theater located within Sea Fort (a hotel/shopping center hybrid) opened at 6:30. I cut it EXTREMELY close because my bad luck struck again and I wound up taking the wrong train line and having to splurge for a taxi to get me to the right location in time for the show. Luckily, I had just enough time to make it to the merch table to snag some goods with whatever I had left from paying the taxi fare. The goods for sale included a program, photo sets of the actors, pins, and a poster (which sold out right away). I bought the program and one of my Sota’s photosets. I would have bought Toru’s as well, but I was unfortunately short on cash.

After, I went inside the venue to take my seat. I was in the sixth row to the left of the stage, so I had an excellent view. Finally, some good luck after getting the worst lottery ticket at the FlowBack event and missing the lotto at Da-iCE’s Stickyle event! 

The show started quite promptly. I don’t want to spoil too much about the story since I believe there is going to be an anime series upcoming, but to sum up: The story starts in 1859, a few years before the foundation of the Shinsengumi police force. Hijikata Toshizo (Sota) works as a peddler of medicine but aims to become a stronger swordsman. When he hears of the Shieikan dojo run by Kondo Isami (played by Eiji Takigawa), he decides to challenge him and prove his strength. He’s quickly defeated, but Kondo admires his belief that a man should aim to become the strongest, and invites him to continue to train at the dojo. Hijikata works to build his strength there alongside fellow swordsmen Okita Souji (Toru), Saito Hajime (Yuki Saotome),Sannan Keisuke (Izumi Souji), and Nagakura Shinpachi (Shion Tsuchiya), all of whom would also become members of the Shinsengumi in the future. However, the men of the Shieikan dojo face a seemingly insurmountable conflict when they face off against the leaders of a rival group, Serizawa Kamo (Toshio Matsumoto) and Niimi Nishiki (Masakazu Nemoto), who may also have ties to the mysterious female warrior Hijikata meets in battle.

The story of Chiruran was very diverse-- there were hilarious moments, tense moments, and heartbreaking moments, and of course lots of fighting. My favorite parts involved the swordfights, which were beautifully choreographed and executed by the actors. I know Sota and Toru both worked hard on these aspects, and both of them did a fantastic job. Toru in particular had some epic moments because his character, Okita, has a dual personality, and one side involves him completely snapping, chanting “Kill, kill, kill” and absolutely massacring who he’s fighting. Toru did a fantastic job with the fighting in those scenes, and I was very impressed by him.

Both boys did a great job with their acting as well. Sota was arguably the show’s main character and had the chance to show multiple sides of his character ranging from stubbornly hotheaded and fiercely determined to heart rendingly emotional as the conflicts he’s involved in begin hurting the people he cares about. Toru’s role also involved one of the most heartbreaking moments of the night, and I feel like he portrayed it beautifully-- when he lifted his head, you could even see the real tear streaks on his face.

My Japanese is of course still very lacking, but I felt I was able to understand he key points of the story, thanks in part to my familiarity with the Shinsengumi. It was a bit challenging at points because the characters were yelling a lot (naturally, as samurai), which was a bit harder for me to understand, but I was able to follow along well enough considering. I had a fantastic time!

At the conclusion of the show, all the actors came together and did the traditional closing bow for us. For the final bow, we were allowed to take our cameras out and quickly snap a few shots. I hadn’t been aware of this, so I had to do a manic lunge and grab for my camera, but I managed to get a few shots before the curtain fell again, though I’m afraid thanks to my rush and hand tremor, they’re a little blurry T^T. Here’s one, an example, I’ll post the rest separately:

After the event, I had read online that we would have the opportunity to greet some of the cast in the lobby, so were asked to leave the theater by our rows. Since I was the sixth row, I was allowed to leave fairly early. I was already freaking out because it was possible Toru and Sota could be among the cast members, so by time I was out, my heart was pounding. I saw Izumi Souji first, and he bowed to me, so I was panicking for a moment (should I bow back? Yes, probably since the girl in front of me had?), so I forgot to look at the rest of the cast for a moment. When I had finished my pitiful bow, I looked up and saw Sota Hanamura looking at me and completely froze like a deer in the headlights. And then, right next to him was Toru and my brain turned into a complete mess of “Oh my god, they’re here, what should I do?”

Sota said “Arigatou” to me in Japanese first, then added “Hello, thank you” in English after. Toru waved and said “Hello, thank you for your support!” in English. Naturally, my brain was now exploding in fireworks, so I’m not really what I did or said back, if anything. I think I maybe waved back or did some kind of weird gesture, and I may have either said Arigatou or thank you back, but I may have just squeaked, I honestly have no recollection. I was just so happy to see them again, and hear them speak to me in English after a year ago in San Jose. And so my proud tradition of not being able to say anything to my idols whether Japanese, Korean, or American in person continues! Still, I was so happy just to see them again, that it doesn’t matter. I went back to the train in a blaze of euphoria!

And that was my Chiruran experience!
