I don't know how or why this came up in my recommended videos, but it's cool. Thank goodness for Google Translate so I could figure out that this is from a Japanese production of Elisabeth featuring Yu Shirota and Mari Hanafusa. Gotta say, I can see the David Bowie influence in Yu Shirota's performance. Even the costuming reminds me of his iconic role as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth. (And yes, the character he's playing was written as being is based on a combination of Heinrich Heine and David Bowie.)

This is a story about Emperor Franz Joseph's wife, Elizabeth. She was very young (15 or 16) when she married him. At her wedding, Death personified attends as a guest. Death and Elizabeth fell in love earlier in the play, before she met Franz Joseph, when she almost died after a fall and he couldn't bring himself to take her. Her relationship with Death personified is the underlying theme and love triangle in the story. In this piece, he warns her that even though she's giving her time and body to the Austrian emperor, that she belongs to him and that *HE* will have the last dance. What's absolutely lovely about this is that a German play about an Austrian empress (she was NOT Hungarian) has been adapted in Japanese. It has also been done (very well, I might add) in Korean with Kim Junsu playing the role of Der Tod (Death) and of course, the German version with Mark Seibert. The German version is available with subtitles for anyone that wants to get the whole story. Just search for Elizabeth das Musical English subtitles.

@@0rchid71 It's a musical adaption of the Roman Polanski movie "The Fearless Vampire Killers" and I think it's by the same writers as this Musical (Elisabeth).
@@johnreed3191 I'd watch it 100% even though I know only a handful of Japanese phrases. I would not care if it weren't subtitled; I know the original well enough to follow it perfectly.
Holy FUCK. I've never heard Shirota Yu sing in this register before, and it's A LOT. The look is SO GOOD too! I only know about this musical from my bestie who was into the OG musical but wow. His movement & mannerisms as Death are chilling. I also really like the skeleton back tats on the backup dancers!
DER TOD: When it comes to your love I fight against His Majesty You chose him To escape from me The love between both of you is a sham While being held in the Emperor’s arms You are also smiling softly at me ELISABETH: That’s a lie! DER TOD: The final dance belongs to me Your destiny is to dance with me The Habsburg Empire is falling to ruins The guests in the hall are holding their breaths They are anxiously waiting for The duet between you and I The final dance belongs to me Your dance with me is destiny I’m watching intently from within the darkness The final victory is mine The final dance belongs to me Your dance with me is destiny The final dance belongs to me (The final dance) Your dance with me is destiny (Belongs to me) (I’m watching intently from within the darkness) (The final victory) (Victory) Is mine!
So, this shows up in my recommended for some random reason and I start researching it and find out that the guy playing Death, Yu Shirota, is SPANISH. Born in Spain to a Spanish mother and Japanese father, and he played Tuxedo Mask in the Sailor Moon Musicals (cuz, y'know, there's more than one. Oh Japan...) I was just surprised when the first thing that comes up when you search his name is "Spanish Actor" - I was like...wat?! Also, he's stupid tall, like 6'3". This dude defies everything you think you know about Japanese musical leading men. Or at least everything I thought *I* knew...
Not surprised, really. It's most likely partially the costuming, but he looks almost exactly like an anime character come to life - particularly that bad boy character that all the female fans swoon over.
A lot of ppl including me thought of david bowie’s jareth with good reason! Fun fact, On the musical’s wiki page death is inspired to be like david bowie!
Sorry i forgot to put source just in case, here you go. “Death, the personification of the abstract concept of "Death" or the "Grim Reaper". His appearance is modeled on the poet Heinrich Heine who was fascinated by Elisabeth, and the rock singer David Bowie.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_(musical)
The female actress is so expressive! I could really feel her pain and anguish as she’s caught up in something against her will. Well done to both main actors!
Idk what this is but its intriguing! The singing and choreography was really good. Also I was getting labyrinth vibes from this. I mean just the costumes alone looked so similar to Sarah's iconic ballgown. I'd love to see the full performance
It's a japanese rendition of the german/austrian musical 'elisabeth'. The song in question is called 'the last dance' and what's happening is that death has fallen for queen elisabeth of austria-hungary and is trying to seduce her. The whole musical is great, no matter in which language!
I just LOVE everything about this performance. I have watched it in hungarian, german and korean too. Yu Shirota brings a sexy melancholy without really being evil. Perfect.
I honestly clicked on this thinking Labyrinth had a musical adaptation I didn't know about, it didn't, but I can't say I was dissapointed as this is great.
I'd never even heard of this musical before. I don't even like musicals, with a few exceptions. But UA-cam recommended this to me out of the blue today, and now I'm down a rabbit hole reading about Empress Elisabeth and then watching the stage play.
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm so happy to discover this, and now I've come to really adore this production, especially with Yu Shirota as Der Tod.
Hungarian here. Austrian Empress Elisabeth was totally the Queen of Hungary as well, she was crowned in 1867. Hungarians remember her fondly for her love for Hungary and also for her role in bringing about the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, which partially restored the country's sovereignty. It is awesome to see her story brought to life in the opposite corner of the world, by people from a completely different culture. Really great performance! :)
Right before this scene sissy decided to marry the emperor, even though her and the emperors parents wanted her sister to be married to the emperor instead. In this scene death (the guy with the blond hair) sings that while she chose to turn away from him and instead marry the emperor, the last dance would still belong to him (=death).
OMG!I seen this live in 1996 in my home towns open theatre when I was a little girl. I was in love with "death"....it is such a good play about our beloved Queen Sissi! It also captures her mental struggles as "Death" represents her depression and anxiety too. I wish many people would be able to come to see it in Szeged with Dom,the big church as backgound and stage as I seen it...under the stars on a warm summer night...makes me so homesick and want to run home from London :)
Omg it really is Yu Shirota as the male lead! This guy can nail so many roles from a macho tsundere to a shy awkward teen and now a David Bowie type of character in a musical, I can't. Is there something he can't act? I love him. I'm glad UA-cam decided out of the blue to recommend me this today.

You chose him
To escape from me
The love between both of you is a sham
While being held in the Emperor’s arms
You are also smiling softly at me

The guests in the hall are holding their breaths
They are anxiously waiting for

I don’t know why UA-cam thought I would like this but I do and the staging is incredible!
I’m not gonna lie, I like this version so much better than the German version.
Me too, i like how der tod is more seductive here
2:50～城田優と花ちゃんの顔の大きさよww
宝塚では感じられないですよねぇｗ

Amazing! I clicked it thinking it might be Tanz der Vampire, but when I heard the music I was like... ELISABETH?!?! Amazing singer/actor playing Death!
this was in my recommended and I’m glad, I also saw the Korean version with Xia and WOW this song is amazing in every language
Finally, the Japanese rendition of David Bowie's Phantom of the Opera that we've all been waiting for (?).
