I like how they included the first classmate saying 'everyone is treated the same,' and once Light does his speech the other classmates actually say what they want. Light as a character is fascinating and I love it, and I love these songs.
This is a GREAT SONG! Oddly, it could work to describe the motives of at least 70% of superheroes and 10% of villains. If Batman sang in his teens, he would’ve sung this.
Drowned Life I’m not saying that out of people it would work for a portion are heroes and another are villains; I mean that, out of all heroes, this song would work for some of them and the same for the bad guys.
Ironically, Japan has the opposite problem. This is probably more relevant in countries like the United States, which follow the philosophy of "better to free the guilty than punish the innocent".
Except the American establishment still punishes people for victimless crime depending on which state you live in, so it's really more like "let's punish those who can't afford to buy out their screw-ups"
I think the lyrics were changed in the adaptation, rather than direct translation they changed it to be relatable to US culture as well, hence this song being different. I read that somewhere..
@@kaleidoscope5054 actually the musical was written in English, and then translated into Japanese for the Tokyo debut. It took over 8 years for it to be professionally preformed in English.
Got that right! It's like the song that applies to the fact that our world allows slides for those that can be rich enough to buy their way out while those who can't get pounded down harder!

Light Classmate #2 needs more appreciation.

That was his teacher who said that.

Lauren O what's the other twenty percent?

Okay I was just curious
Drowned Life no problem
I always think of this as such a Robin song, but specifically Red Hood
I have just slightly more sympathy for Light despite my hate for him.

Yeah, Like what's happening this year 😔
This aged like fine wine

The best part of this song is how applicable it is to real life

8 years later, it's still a vibe
i love jeremy jordan, THE broadway goat
Who gave them the rights to make this such a fucking banger
This is the ultimate song
Came here for Jeremy! ❤️❤️❤️ never knew there was a planned Death Note musical.
I had no idea Death Note was a musical
This song SLAAAAAAAAPS
This fits the new Batman movie if you imagine Light as Riddler and his teacher as Batman
I guess L disliked this
Black Knight 413 he is sick to death of Kira's singing
is anyone listening to this in 2021 cause this is kinda true for irl
Even more so now, unfortunately
0:50 so true light 😔✊🏼
ALRIGHT 2022 ITS TIME TO COME ON BACK
I wanna see Goro Akechi sing this song
Remember remember the 4th of December.
Is Light Jeremy Jordan,aka Varian?
Omg I could totally see Varian singing this song, that's great lol
It's so true though
Banger
alr as a light kin u-u HE HAS A POINT BCS NOT EVERYONE IS EQUAL THE LAW ONLY SUPPORTS THE RICH AND FAMUSE
He’s actually right tho… I’m also a Light kin and honestly the justice system is very messed up.
Jack Kelly really got tired of the boss, I guess
Wish this was on Apple Music
Does anyone else hear Varian from the Tangled series?
Fun Fact:It is the actor who plays Varian Jeremy Jordan he also plays Light in the musical.
JEREMY JORDAN!!❤❤
