When _Death Note_ finally gets an English production, Megumi Hamada is the one cast member whom I desperately want to import. I have no idea if she speaks English, but Hamada's Rem is the heart of that show.
i love the many productions of WICKED! all of them are beautiful in many different ways! While I love the English lyrics the best, each translation, each artist, each song and vocal and set and idea are GORGEOUS to me! :D
Wow what beautiful voice of two!! I watched Wicked in Sydney last week for the first time which was amazing. But love Japanese version as well!!Wanna watch in Osaka this year!!!!!
Just saw the musical today in Osaka. This song was overwhelming. My Japanese is only so-so, but the performance was amazing. The lighting, effects, and vocal performances were amazing... The actress doing Glinda was the same today, as was Elphaba. I will say that the vocal quality live seemed better, but being in the moment probably colored my experience. This is also 2 days before the end of the run, so they've had time to perfect everything. 8000 yen well spent.
This is my favorite cast recording of this musical. Ever. Megumi Hamada gives the raw power to this song that Idina Menzel is lacking. It's gorgeous in every way.
Amazing!...I love Idina Menzel but this is like a whole different world! I think the fact that I grew up (and still) watching anime makes this version very special...GREAT!!

It doesn't matter that its in another language.. it treansverses languages and is a beautifull piece of songwriting.... whoever gave life to Alphaba in japanese is amazing and has made me cry... can this gat any better??
This is soo amazing! I dont care what language it's in but the ending always gives me chilz. Another cool thing to do is sync the English with the Japanese it sounds really neat.
THANK YOU. I lost this on my ipod and I've been wanting to hear it. Oh nooo do you have the whole soundtrack? I had it on my ipod and I can't find the damn thing 😭
i loved the person who played Elphie... she has a good voice!!! no offense, the one who played Galinda (or Glinda i forgot her name) she needed sound a little more sweeter and sincere. it's a powerful song towards the end but in the beginning, it's sincere and sweet.^^ i love the japanese verison =) and i saw the original Broadway cast with Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.. that was THE best musical I have EVER seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are so many comments talking about anime????? You guys are aware that Japan is a real country with real people living in it who speaks their own language, right? Boiling Japan down to some sort of magical anime land is dumb and it's really annoying to see people having a mental meltdown whenever they hear Japanese outside of anime. I love anime myself but I just wish I could watch a Japanese video without people immediately going "zomg is this anime o-O":/
@simzproductionz the key hasn't raised.... I think its still a mezzo-soprano who's using a brighter tone, might seem higher or more soprano-ish but still mezzo.
Cue difference in culture and language itself. Some languages have words that could never be fully translated into another, thus you could only get an approximation.
10年間、ずっと見に行くのが夢でした。今日ようやく叶いました!!
嬉しすぎて何度も聞いてます…!!
So, as a japanese learning activity, I wrote down the lyrics to the song and wrote a translation.

Idk but this seems darker

再演でこれが聞けると思うとマジで泣ける
今日見てきた😭😭😭小林さん圧巻だった。。。。
このお二方の生の舞台を観られて光栄でした。このシーン号泣しました😭✨✨英語圏の方のコメントもたくさんあって嬉しいです🌸✨✨
四季のすごい(良い)ところは、何言ってるのかわかるところ。生で観に行っても、このYotube動画ぐらいちゃんと「何て言ってるのか聞こえる」。
「カクカクしゃべって違和感がある」という見解もあるそうですが、私は断然、せっかく日本語で観ているのだから、内容がわかることの方に重きを置きますね。
I love Megumi Hamada. Her voice is so beautiful. I first discovered her as Rem from Death Note the musical. She so beautiful
When _Death Note_ finally gets an English production, Megumi Hamada is the one cast member whom I desperately want to import. I have no idea if she speaks English, but Hamada's Rem is the heart of that show.
やっぱ濱田&沼尾ペアが一番好きだわぁ♥
沼尾さんと濱田さんペアをもう一度観たかった…😭
でも、再演は必ず行きます!!
小林さんバージョンはやく販売されてくれ…
I just love Hamada-san's voice. It`s just so amazing~
あ〜!この方達の声だー!私が観に行ったときの方は…
お姉ちゃんと何回も観に行った思い出…今度は娘達と観に行きたい❤
15年前二回劇団四季のミュージカルに行きました。
シングルマザーで子育てが終わり、6年間付き合った彼とこれから別れます。
私は自由
子供中心に精一杯頑張った
今から彼に縛られる人生は嫌だ

Defying Gravity in Japanese is SO GOOD!!! Love Elphaba's voice!! Seeing a Japanese version of Wicked on stage will be amazing!
i love the many productions of WICKED! all of them are beautiful in many different ways! While I love the English lyrics the best, each translation, each artist, each song and vocal and set and idea are GORGEOUS to me! :D
You should listen to Mexico’s Defying Gravity
Wow what beautiful voice of two!! I watched Wicked in Sydney last week for the first time which was amazing. But love Japanese version as well!!Wanna watch in Osaka this year!!!!!

劇団四季再演!!生きてる間に観れることに感謝😢
大好きです!!また見に行きたい🥲💘
wow. this is incredible and weird at the same time.
Megumi Hamada has a lovely voice!
Omg there voices are so beautiful
嬉しすぎて聞きに来ました🧙♀️🪄︎︎
i'm glad to see that this song is awesome in all sorts of different languages. belting is a universal sign of awesomeness!
Cool! They both have such powerful voices!
I'm not sure why but this actually made me cry tears of happiness. I think it's just the power of the music
Same!
This is my favorite cast recording of this musical. Ever. Megumi Hamada gives the raw power to this song that Idina Menzel is lacking. It's gorgeous in every way.
I loved Idina's version growing up, but these vocals are my favorite of any Defying Gravity recording or performance, like wow
やっぱこの歌声だ♡好き!
Why do I love everything about Japanese music and culture
This version has pretty much the same meaning as the English, give or take a few phrases. It's really nice. Thank you for uploading it!
ERUFII!

It sounds so beautiful you did a wonderful job ❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ just sounds absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow, this sounds AWESOME!
これはすごいです!彼女は素晴らしい声をしています!
Amazing!...I love Idina Menzel but this is like a whole different world! I think the fact that I grew up (and still) watching anime makes this version very special...GREAT!!
as a fan of the english version,i only know small words of japanese but this song moved me to the heaven.
THIS IS SO COOL ! i'm obsessed with japan and wicked so now , this is like ... heaven for me . now i must learn it .

It's probably been said a bunch, but this song is absolutely amazing in every language that it's sung =D
When I clicked on the link to watch this I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was. They adapted it to the Japanese language VERY nicely!
It doesn't matter that its in another language.. it treansverses languages and is a beautifull piece of songwriting.... whoever gave life to Alphaba in japanese is amazing and has made me cry... can this gat any better??
This is soo amazing! I dont care what language it's in but the ending always gives me chilz. Another cool thing to do is sync the English with the Japanese it sounds really neat.
That was truly beautiful :)
They both have such deep voices.
のちのちピッチが速くなってしまいましたけど 個人的にはこの音源の速さがグッときます
映画公開がとても楽しみです
映画オペラ座の怪人くらいのクオリティを期待してます
wow still good vocals! good to know the quality of wicked is being upheld worldwide!
Ahh I really liked that! Elphie's voice was a little deeper than her American counterpart, but I thought it was really kind of beautiful!
Such a gorgeous language! :D
My fancast:
Mao Ichimichi as Elphaba
Rie Takahashi as Glinda
Kenjiro Tsuda as the Wizard
再演ときいて!
Screw Broadway, I'm just gonna go move to Japan and do Japanese Musical theatre and anime :P
thank you for sharing these!!!!
Beautiful!
THANK YOU. I lost this on my ipod and I've been wanting to hear it.
Oh nooo do you have the whole soundtrack? I had it on my ipod and I can't find the damn thing 😭
やはり沼尾グリンダ&濱田エルファバは歌唱力も表現力も抜群!!
MEG HAMADA and MIYUKI NUMAO are awesome
濱田めぐみさんの歌声やっぱり好きだなぁ
IIIIIIIII LLLLLOOOOOVVVVEEEE TTTTTHHHHHIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wicked, the anime.
It's not bad, but definitely quite different from what I'm used to. It's always fun to hear songs in another language from my own though~
Didn't Megumi Hamada also play Aida in the original Japanese cast of "AIDA"?
belting is a universal sign of awesomeness! this made me laugh, what a cool way to put it! :)
YES! I kind of wish someone would make one. It could be really awesome!
It's like I'm listening to an anime version of Wicked. So effing awesome. xD
This version gave me chills! o_o
wow i love it!
I can picture Wicked being an anime version
Well, after listening to THAT, I shall now proceed to my tablet and draw an anime version of Wicked. Good day to you all.
Thanks for posting!!! :D
Literally how is this real
I love Japanese! :D
i loved the person who played Elphie... she has a good voice!!!
no offense, the one who played Galinda (or Glinda i forgot her name) she needed sound a little more sweeter and sincere. it's a powerful song towards the end but in the beginning, it's sincere and sweet.^^
i love the japanese verison =)
and i saw the original Broadway cast with Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel..
that was THE best musical I have EVER seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, I like it, sounds wonderful

Flitter Mouse Prussia? Is that you? XD
SUGOII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:29 BEST PART"
Top ten Anime songs
love at the end, after the first "me, down" when glinda says "i hope youre happy" it sounds like a cartoon "blah blah blah blahhh." Hahahaha
She's actually saying "Anata nara..."
すごい!
Awesome! I would like more, please...
5:50 (Applause!)
i think theyre amazing!! :)
I'm Japanese but I'm more used to the English version lol Kristen Chenoweth rocks!!
Why are so many comments talking about anime????? You guys are aware that Japan is a real country with real people living in it who speaks their own language, right? Boiling Japan down to some sort of magical anime land is dumb and it's really annoying to see people having a mental meltdown whenever they hear Japanese outside of anime. I love anime myself but I just wish I could watch a Japanese video without people immediately going "zomg is this anime o-O":/
Japanese singers are just always great.
I want it !!!!!!!!!!
Luv it !!!!!!!!!!!
O.o can i have the whole cd.... i saw this when i was in japan but i couldn't find a cd of it...
Whoa, awesome
@simzproductionz the key hasn't raised.... I think its still a mezzo-soprano who's using a brighter tone, might seem higher or more soprano-ish but still mezzo.
Cue difference in culture and language itself. Some languages have words that could never be fully translated into another, thus you could only get an approximation.
i only know what their saying because I'm obsessed with this song in english
damn elphaba totally NAILED that last note
