Someone please give a Tony Award for whoever was in charge of the lighting and projections. They look simply beautiful!
IKR, the breathing techniques, the moment the demons die and others, it's amazing 🤩✨
Fr
As a ex member in a choir (I sing alone now) I’m just in love and awe with their singing
Even muzan’s voice at 2:28, 6:31 and 18:31 is just pure perfection and how he add some lower notes to the lyrics too
yea
@@blackcherry941 being a fully functional, anime-loving theater kid, I can rant how perfectly Muzan’s lyrics contrast with the rest of the singers.
The way yushiro stops immediately every time Tamayo-san calls him lol
Even the likes just said 911
“hi”
Ikr!?
Yeah man,thats what you expect from yushiro!
Yushiro!
"Hai."
The way Giyuu sings his line at 0:50 is so satisfying to me
Ok let’s give Inosukes actor a round of applause for not literally dying of suffocation during this entire thing. Edit: another thing is that Giyu’s face looks SOOOO MUCH like the actual anime Giyu’s face.
Yes, they're both emo and depressed
Like me 💀@@Exo_DN
The actor who played Giyu is amazing, I love his skill.
Honda Reooooo try watching more of his works he's an amazing dancer! he plays my favorite triangle boy
YEAHH
@@onigiri0606 can you tell me more about him, he is amazing here!
@@lunarsyke9957 honda reo, i first discovered him when he played misumi in mankai stage A3 (stage adaptation of the game A3!). he also played ichigo hitofuri in touken ranbu. he is an amazing dancer, talented actor and i forgot the title but he also appeared in a jdrama about dance
@@onigiri0606 misumi is a complete 180 from giyuu I'm seriously impressed. smooth as hell movements no matter what, damn. his dance skills especially
for giyuu specifically he is exactly what id imagine him to be irl too this is amazing
“She was the beauty of our hometown!” Was portrayed perfectly!
It’s 2:54 btw
Hahahahah IKR!?
The way Nezuko was standing there with a “yeah, that’s right. I slay all day, my way”
“was”?
FAX 10:54
Hsskfnkdf giyuu's actor looking confused at 12:58 when Shinobu asks what his intentions are is absolutely hilarious
Okay, but that audience and I need to have a chat...
13:24 - How the heck did NO ONE laugh?? I legitimately cackled
Same, don't worry! 😂😂😂
@@kaleajohnson7414 ..?
I know me too!
i almost cried
🤣🤣🤣🤣i did.... 🤣🤣🤣i laughed so hard at that scene
Ryota Kobayashi, who plays Tanjiro, is so talented. He also played Bakugo in the BNHA Stage Plays. He is so good at getting immersed in the character he's playing and portraying it well. Looking forward to more of his works.
He did?! Wow!
Y si, se ve muy empeñado en su papel la verdad, es simplemente sacado del mismo anime y/o manga
Omg I didn't know!!
@@aLiShii_ same-
Wow Tanjiro is Bakugo
Is it dumb that I kind of got goosebumps when the Hashira made their first entrance here? It gave me the same feeling as the moment when they first appeared in the anime.
Top tier stage play
Yesss
Nah ur good
I got goosebumps at the starting when I was watching it, like it's Soo good
The hashira song slaps so hard whoever wrote it needs their ass ate
19:22 THIS TANJIRO'S ACTOR IS SO KINDDDDDDD
Perfectly embodies our boy
He is also the Actor for Bakugou. FROM My hero academia
I LOVE THIS HAHHAHA

IKR
I’ll talk about it with you, it was so good
@@purple_turtle8571 ikrrr
it made want to cry bc of how angelic it was 😭😭
Fr
1:01 If there were a live action Demon slayer movie that's accurate, the actor that were to play Giyu can take some stuff from here.
How so?
@@SUPERNOVA0360 Look how smooth that is!
They should just hire the stadge play crew.
@@nintendomaster6430 Giyu?
I wonder if his actor has a martial arts background
"No talking about susamaru singing"
"No one talking about shinobu singing"
WHAT ABOUT HER
8:08
She’s my favourite character
6:17 NO WAIT I ACTUALLY ALMOST SCREAMED WHEN INOSUKE WOKE UP- 😭😭😭
I watch a lot of musicals and stage plays (granted most of them are western) and I usually dislike when stages rely on LED screens and projections instead of building a real set but Japanese stage plays are different. With plays of anime adaptations, there's really no other way of showing the audience while capturing the animated feel of the source material since it relies so heavily on visual cues you can't portray with real life. Like using the screen in the play to show the water and lightning when they're performing the breathing forms is so smart and it synced up so well with the actor's movements. You can definitely tell the cast trained hard and the whole crew deserve so much love for the lighting, design and sound.
Yup
agreed, I also thought the use of the scrim was well done.
This is the traditional way to express a cartoon or an anime in low budget cost effective affordable way...
6:51 it's always my favorite moment. idk whyy, just looks incredible. The sound of the swords, the movements of the hashiras, everything is PERFECT
3:16
Lol the actor of Yushiro is so funny tho-
I can't stop laughing when Tamayo says his name he's like:
*HAI*
Fr😂
@@ShadowyKatana 🤣🤣👌
3:55 I thank you for the Zenitsu portion of the video. Ueda Keisuke is my absolute favourite stage actor and Zenitsu in general is a delight.
5:34 The idiot trio
13:13 The idiot trio part 2
13:23 Okay that dance is adorable
13:45 The idiot trio part 3
17:56 That smile... and he plays Bakugou too? Wow...
19:22 The Kamado siblings
Wait, really!? He plays Bakugo?!
@@vicentehizon6202 apparently so! His range is crazy good
Ueda is so cool, i fell in love with his acting when I saw him playing Chuuya
@@JustEvelynAndArt me too! stage plays are hard to come by so I can't see much of him but he's really cool. he does some voice acting roles too.
Yes, the dance is very adorable 😊
The bit where Nezuko tries to join the dance is so adorable 😭💕
THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS ZENITSUS VOICE IS SO ALIKE TO THE REAL ONE
Prolly the actual Japanese va for him
I knoww. His name is Keisuke Ueda. Hes not the official voice for Zenitsu. Hes an actor, singer and voice actor. He also plays *Vanitas* in stage play of Vanitas no carte and *Chuuya* in stage play of Bungo stray dogs.
11:14 it makes it seem like Inosuke just has terrible reaction time which is much funnier than him instantly being tied up imo
I worry about the throats of the casts of Inosuke and Zenitsu. They are literally shouting the whole time 😂😂😂😂
Ue-chan (playing Zenitsu) can manage he also played Chuuya Nakahara of Bungo stray dogs 😂 if you know what I mean, also recently announced he’s playing Asta of Black clover❤
@@rushliao02HE DOES SUCH A GREAT JOB A BEING CHUUYA. IM STILL SHOCKED THAT HE HASN'T LOST HIS VOICE FROM HOW MUCH YELLING HE HAS TO DO.
@@AkariSeasonDragon exactly he does a great job, then he played Zenitsu which is also loud, I was shocked when I learned that he’s Asta’s stage actor 🤯🤯🤯 loudest of them all, hope he does not lose his voice.
@rushliao02 I respect that man so much cuz If I played his roles, I would sound like somebody who had lung cancer. (This is a joke. I'm not trying to offend anyone).
@@AkariSeasonDragon fr fr I respect him too
Anime stage plays are so chaotic. I love them 🤣
Frfr
Shinobu singing about her sister actually had me in tears 😭
19:21 why is none talking about how dang CUTE this moment was? 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Okay. My favorite parts of musicals (especially fantasy ones) are the technical aspects that they use to imitate the impossible. Way back when the first musical released, I saw the moment when Muzan killed the three humans in the alleyway and it was AWESOME. I need to see more of the battle with the temari and arrow demons! And they totally upped the effects with the tilted stage in the second one; I'm so impressed! They must have gone through some intense rehearsals to be in sync with all the effects on the screen! Rui's threads were AMAZING! And of course it was awesome to hear the first song without Muzan and the other three versions with his voice standing against all of them--man, this could be one of the coolest anime musicals I've seen! Is there a way to see both of them?
I've put some info about where you can watch them in the description 😊
Keisuke Ueda (Zenitsu's SA) is for me one of the most recognizable stage actors for stage adaptation animes.
Just some of the other stage play characters he played:
Chuya Nakahara (Bungou Stray Dogs), Yukine (Noragami), Japan (Hetalia), Chifuyu Matsuno (Tokyo Revengers)
fuyuhiko in danganronpa 2 , he is fr winning
Wait... Tokyo Revengers has a stage play? and Ueda is playing Chifuyu? I need to watch it.
he also played vanitas from vanitas no carte 🥇
Irony with Chifuyu because Baji's full Name is Keisuke Baji...
Recently announced he is playing Asta of Black clover
I’m fully convinced the actor for Giyu actually is a Hashira also Inosuke’s Coustume is the BEST thing ever
4:08 couldn't have been anymore perfect for zenitsu 💀💀💀
Fr
I can’t brain how that guy who plays Tanjito also played Bakugou in the BNHA stayplay
but wait... these actors aren't their VA right??? because their voices sounds different
@@nuraddinaizzah2104 Yeah, they are different
@@ellynasution1919 okkk thanksss
The actor who played Giyu is amazing, I love his skill. He's the one making me to keep watching the video. Stage played can be a little hard to enjoy on your first attempt, but when you get used to it, it can be really good. Also, I love how they all bow in their own character style ☺️
I agree the person who dressed and acted like me also is very skilled at fighting
Me too
3:58 The reactions from Zenitzu are spot-on and hilarious XD
Tanjiro: Zenitzu, let’s go
Zenitzu: *becomes a rapidly sneezing dog*
Bro that’s such an accurate description of those idk what kind of noises. 😂
@@Hamdragons Thanks lol
EEEEEYYYYAAAAAA
-zenitsu
14:06 Who else can hear "stupid"?
15:30 Inosuke is so cute here !!
AWWWWW HIS LIL JUMPS
The lil hops
Me observing and noticing the details they put in the Stageplay and comparing it to the anime 😂🤣
But aside that, this is literally a work of art, a masterpiece, I love how the characters look like especially the demons. The time and effort they put in here is just- *chef's kiss*
🥲
5:57 One of the best parts in the whole thing, bro I like this scene better in the play than in the actual anime
YESSSSSS
Fun fact: Inosuke also plays Denki in MHA, while Tanjiro plays Bakugo. THE RANGE!!!
13:58 Zenitsu’s scream tho 🤣
Girls……ŸEAEAEAEEEEEHHHHH
rock n roll lmao
🤣 l laughed at that part
I love how he has a whole song just about how much he loves girls 😂
Yup! 😂
NO IM SCREAMING WTF WAS THAT
13:01 is so cool when they bring up the hashira and they haves a song in the background makes me think more imaginative
YUSHIRO.... LOL- he just obeys and respect Ms. Tamayo 🥲😁
✌️thx so much for the heart- I forgot to comment u had a new sub 2 days ago.... lol
Tanjiro wiping Nezuko's tears at the end🥺😭🥰
At 2:40 nezuko was looking at muzan like she was going to kill him any second🤣🤣
😂😂😂
13:07
*IMAGINE THIS IN THE ANIME*
That will be so cool
My inner child would be so happy
Yushiro restraining himself to smack Tanjiro is hilarious every time 3:06 - 3:18
even in cosplays inosuke with out a mask is beautiful
17:02 whoa. something about this scene in the stage play really got me, somehow it hit me harder than the scene in the anime, i think the background music really added to the emotions. i wasn’t a big fan of this couple until this scene, wow.
Frankly the coupling is not good, but that's because this writer is generally bad at writing women for some reason, shanobo is good but that's about it unfortunately.
The music does help tho and her acting is really good not even considering the character is plank of wood, like she's just good in general and that only makes it more impressive
@@smileyp4535 ironically the writer is a woman lol.
Honestly I think Mistursi does have a lot of hidden depth to her. She's feminine, has a mind of her own and is strong, physically and internally
@@michaeljha4860 wow that's wild, Japan is cool but maaaan 😮💨 they just do not know how to treat women like people 🥴
@@smileyp4535 I will say I disagree on this case, there are a Lot of manga and anime that don't do well written women but for this one I think the anime just has yet to show the women more~
@@smileyp4535
Wtf are you on? The woman written in the manga are written very well
6:31 I love this part.
1:39 jesus that is soooo beautiful sounding it’s like the ultimate serotonin injecting into my brain
I really wish they had an album.
The Muzan and Shinobu sing so good they give me chills everytime
The actress portraying Shinobu sang so beautifully. It was amazing.
13:48 Heavy metal album by Zenitsu Agatsuma just dropped
I’d listen to it.
@@Hamdragons same :D
Damm where can I buy it
14:59 love the little arm swing
6:55 the hashiras are built diff
13:23 that was hilarious to me, just comes in and then leaves running for his life
2:20 muzan jackson reveal is top tier
omg MJ
14:11
Bro why is this moment so wholesome??
Like how they move their heads is so cute
2:28

18:31
muzan’s singing just…. Holy sh*t I can’t even describe his voice🥰🥰🥰
Edit: if anybody can please find the title name of the songs that muzan and the others sing too plz
The name of the song is “Zankokuyo,” or “Cruel song”
@@user-ym7dm8pb3l thank you so much I had trouble finding out
@@blackcherry941 My pleasure
@@user-ym7dm8pb3l ..?
@@user-ym7dm8pb3l I can’t find it
They should do a soundtrack version of the songs they sing with lyrics on the screen
They are ALL so good actor and singers like 😭😭 howw?!
14:28 was the best i just love how shinobu singing was nice to listen to even tho i don't know Japanese
All of these actors are so talented!! Tanjiros actor’s smile is so beautiful as much as his voice is Giyuu’s actor is very talented with those smooth moves he made Inosuke’s actor’s dodging was literally so talented?! I can’t do this omgg
Tanjiro "No one I know is anything like you!"
Zenitsu: "EEAAAAUUUUGHHH"
13:31
This part cracked me up so much
6:59 is so cool with the silhouettes of the hashira and returning characters
9:42 is rlly cute
5:34 fav part😭

I need a translator what is sm?
So much
@@neznayuchtotytest228it's "so much"
omg thank you so much for this! finally i got to see ryota kobayashi as tanjiro 😭😭 & ueda keisuke as zenitsu
You don't understand how stunned I was through this whole thing holy shite- my jaw was dropped for most of the time, I mean- the lighting was so intricate and on point, emphasizing each scene with all the emotion that couldn't be fit in any other parts- and the FRICKEN MUSIC HOLY SHITE- IT WAS SO IMPACTFUL?? And honestly made me wanna cry every single time the music crescendos. No to mention the fluid motions of the actors? Like- DAMN- Giyuu was so in character I'm so proud- and Inosuke too, definitely props for having him be skilled in breakdancing. Cause that's perfect for his character being that he can literally manipulate his bones, joints, and organs fluidly. Tanjiro fit perfect for his role too I loved how he great his fight choreography blended with Nezuko. Also the way Tanjiro's actor yells perfectly just made him all the more believable and moving. I can't get enough of this whole stage play. I'm so glad this exists and I really REALLY wanna see how they would interpret the Mugen Train arc along with the Entertainment District arc. Thanks so much for highlighting these parts, and introducing this to more people cause this stage play deserves so much more hype!!!!! I wish all anime-to-live-action were made this good- lookin at you Cowboy Bebop -____- Anyways- enough of my ranting- I'm gonna go re-hyperfixate on this fandom even more until the brainrot has truly seeped in lmao-
15:53 they can do that because Michael Jackson taught them how 😂
You got me!
16:12 wow 😳
Omg
1:10: THE POSE GIYUU'S ACTOR STRUCK HELP
16:06 Okay but why is Miss hee hee so fine like...🧎♀️*woof*
LOL
5:56 the way zenitsu speak always crack me up
Me: oh, why is this making me so happy? This stage is awsome!
11:23
**Rui appears**
Me: ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄. It looks more handsome in real life
IT?!??
I can't with this part 💀 13:59
Zenitsu’s scream though “YEAAAAAAAAAAAEAEEAEAEAAAÁAEEAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
UR RIGHT THIS IS ART ALSO THE CAST IS CRAZY
The ones I recognized are always soooo good in their roles omg
I need to watch
3:05 lmao the way nezuko behaves so childishly
how kobayashi ryota had the voice for this after going straight to this from BNHA (TWICE!!) will never not amaze me. tbh same with inosuke’s actor (whose name escapes me rn) considering he was kaminari with him in those
12:21 dude this got me so hyped
Fr i respect musicals so much, this is amazing and not cringe in the slightest. For some reason I cried at this
Edit: this was meant to be a short comment but I'm making it a paragraph 🙂
Enmus line at muzan killing him was SO DAMN ACCURATE it gave me chills
Shinobus singing was WHOA SO GOOD
The fighting scenes are so good and actually looks like a fight
The effects are WOW and EVERYTHING IS WOW
I want to be in musicals again now damn
I am a theater kid and also a huge fan of Demon slayer. I’ve been doing theater for six years and this is absolutely amazing
Shout out to the people playing the threes at 10:25
The ensemble cast did so well in kizuna, even playing named characters. I only watched one curtain call but they were only introduced as ensemble members. They literally had more stagetime than most of the hashiras i wish they got more credit and acknowledged like how naruto stage did
I admire these actors so much, especially Ryota Tobayashi and Ueda Keisuke
bruh ueda keisuke has such amazing range!! didn't even recognize him as chuuya from the bsd stage play until i looked him up
Shinobus singing voices was the most angelic voice I've ever heard.
The Kanao and Tanjiro scene and the ending with Tanjiro and Nezuko was adorable 😭❤❤
I never had high hopes in stage play versions of anime....but this one is really good. And Tomioka-san is kind of...attractive😳
YES NGL
Shinobu’s actor has a beautiful voice!! 🤩
am i the only one who cried watching this? 😭 it looks soooo good i literally just keep rewatching it, im literally obsessed😭😭😭
16:34 I thought he put up the middle finger lol
Just flip Enmu off before injecting him with blood no big deal.
Lol same🤣
Enmu’s actor is so damm good at his role!
2:25 no one:
MUzan:
what u lookin at?
No one talking about shinobu's singing? 😍14:28
All of their singing is beautiful!!
Muzan just sounds amazing! The whole thing is breathtaking wish I could watch the whole thing 😍
2:41 to 2:50 is goddamn good 🔥. The lyrics are evil but singing is really good , don't you think?!!
Yeah it’s so good!! 🔥
I think its inspired by traditional Japanese melodies 🤔
For example if you listen to the tune of sakura sakura (most famous one) the melody is also kind of unexpected
Kurokami is a piece thats also about a dark topic (I recommend with Shakuhachi and Shamisen+singing version)
14:18 Tanjiro it’s illegal to be this cute 😩
Why WHY WHY I got goosebumps when hashira entrance started THE WAY THEY MOVE WITH THEIR SWORD WITH THAT SWORD SOUND IS JUST…… COOLEST PART EVER bRO
10:05 Hah??? 🤣🤣🤣
The person doing the behind the scenes effects needs a raise. Like a big one. These actors need a huge raise too. They work so hard to entertain random people. It’s so smooth and elegant
Mad respect for the stage actors at this point they're all athlete
Even though all of this was done on a stage they somehow captured the essence of the anime almost perfectly
