I love how that one cat is out of step with the others.

I hate how they turned her evil in Disgaea. In Rhapsody, she wasn't really evil, or that much anyway. She kidnapped the prince, but she wasn't "turn men into statues then use the stone from those statues to build her palace" evil. She didn't even mean to turn the prince into stone. And she fixed the hole she made in the castle in the end out of her own free will, nobody forced her, and her 3 generals or whatever even attended Cornet and the Prince's wedding.

came here to celebrate the localization of the sequel!

One of the best examples of a game where the English version is just as good(in my opinion) as the Japanese version! :D That said, the Japanese version of this song is performed by Michie Tomizawa(Rei/SailorMars), and brilliantly at that! :)

I love how the cats just randomly fly around for no reason.

Holy crap. Marjoly's English voice is Carrie G. Lowrey. ...I tried to find out who she is, and apparently it's Lara Jill Miller's pseudonym. So if I'm right, the evil queen singing here is Kari Kamiya from Digimon! XD

This was first musical RPG and i loved it. too bad the rest of the series did not make it over.

Probably the only game in existence that can be called an actual musical. XD Seriously, that's a brilliant idea. I know most would disagree, but I'd love for more games like that.

Got this stuck in my head at work today

2021 .. this got stuck in my head while encountering mar jolly in Disgaea 😂

Keep on shining, we'll keep on whining!

The song is very funny. Also very catchy. I love the part at the end and about her age.

GLORIOUS NIPPON NUMBAH ONE SUPAH SUGOI DESoh God now I feel so dirty. Most fans of original language anything can't actually tell who the quality VAs are. I think the singers did a fine job. In character, even.

I put the lyrics of this song through Google translate and "I put her face to shame " became "I embarrass her face.", "Marjoly we worship you like number one." became "Marjorie likes you best." and"Marjoly you're the evil beauty " became "Marjorie you are an evil beauty."

This game was mine and my sister's childhood. LOLOL

I need to play this game again! This was such a treat for the PS1, i really wish Nippoon Ichi had continued this series or brought the rest to America! Maybe we can convince them to sell us all of them in one pack? WHOSE WITH ME?!

Whenever I think about remakes of nis games never being released in the u.s. I always think of this. Mar-jo-ly you’re the evil beauty I bow down to you eternally.

This is amazing!

@ExplodingBunnies Not to mention it's really nice to be able to understand the words, because they're highly amusing.

Wonderful song !

Carrie Gordon Lowrey is a voice over artist in her own right and is not a pseudonym for Lara Jill Miller. For some reason, IMDB has mistakenly credited Lara Jill Miller with many of Carrie Gordon Lowrey's credits.

Same voice actress who did Diablo 2s assassin, Warcraft 3's Jaina Proudmoore, the medic and Kerrigan from Starcraft 1

This is amazing haha ❤

That explanation. Was. Perfect.

@8sailormoon8 This is actually a kind of proper singing style, and if you listen closely, she actually does have a good voice, and it does fit the evil queen character in this present context. Poke around Disney female Villain music or go watch a live musical and you'll notice the similarities. It's definitely much better than the villain music in Tangled. Many people grew up listening to this kind of musical style in cartoons. Not everyone enjoys Japanese Music. I grew out of that bias long ago

honestly, I can't say which is better. Both are fricking good.

My favorite thing about this song is the one cat who just can't seem to get the choreography right.

I love it!

OMG, I bloody loved this game!! It was my absolute favorite...now I must hunt it down...along with a PS...LoL ~S

i like this song

Holy Crap....Thats awesome!

XD this was the very first videogame i bought when i got my psx i was like 11 years old and i love the songs

I remember playing this game years ago on Play station... I wish I could play this again now that im older, but I cant get my damn emu to work

Creativity earns stars in my book in all games, especially ones since they were pretty limited, we lack creative games now :/ This sort of singing would be refreshing in a current gen game, but it'd end up one silly game

I remember playing this as a kid, and tbh, I'm upset with myself for getting the tempo wrong all these years, lmao. I remembered this song as a very fast tempo with less emphasis, but here we are 😂

so nostalgic!D8

The only issue I have with this is how the subtitles are quicker than the vocals, but that's a minor gripe. Still wish they could have kept the Mountain Man song in the DS version. That was a funny scene.

I know it's probably not her, but honestly this sounds like Donna Murphy who I LOVE. I hope they hired her for the English songs for the sequels, unless they somehow managed to get the original VA's/singer's that would be epic.

Am I the only one who met this through TV Tropes

I dunno, but it's awesome :D

Hail to the Queen, baby :p

@Zatoru Those things deal actual physical damage.

@VenaCava4 Atlus published it. They had their target audience nailed perfectly by that point. So if they had to pick one, Japanese doesn't surprise me. There were probably other reasons, but this is all I can say for sure.

@dragoon508 i think it would make an awesome disney movie...or musical even...

When I play this game and get to this part for some odd reason nowadays you can't hear part of the lyrics it really sucks :(

Is it wrong for me to think that this is similar to "the Queen of Mean" song from A Troll in Central Park done better?

O.o?! She sounds like Mrs. Darbus!!!!!

I actually forgot this is where marjoly came from i was like she seems familiar when i saw her in disgaea ...... and since its been years since i played rhapsody so yeah i forgot she exist

I love the Nyanko's but I love Crowdia

Marjoly vs Galactus - Marjoly turns Galactus to stone and has a new giant sized statue :D

Oh, dude, it's the same here!

She needs her own game

I would love to use this in a musical but cant find the backing/karaoke anywhere?

One reason why The firey joker Josh scorcher he didn’t put this song on his list a grown woman who wants to be a teenager’s wife

@VenaCava4 Shouldn't there be an option to change it in the Options Menu. it doesn't profit them to cater to only ONE audience =T

@Guromonster I would too indeed

you can also get this game for the DS by the way.

Am I the only one thinking that this song would fit Boa Hancock from One Piece if she were truly evil? On that note, I hope that the one who voiced Marjoly in this song voices Hancock in the english dub of One Piece.

@masterkill107 Right down to the villain getting the best song. :-)

here's why the ds version had it in japanese: the us version was going to include the additional chapters of the japan, but they weren't able to put the songs in the chapters into english and wanted to keep consistent. but the whole chapters got left out, so what was the point?

i hope they release 2 and 3 on english version too.

I nostalgia'd

The one who put the curse on him on the first place

What's kind of weird is that the prince is called Ferdinando in this scene, when he's called Ferdinand everywhere else.

Do you where i can download this song

i hav both versions of the game and perfer the PS version. Neva gonna say it aloud, but i luv this song. XD The little minion that's clueless is so cute!

Whatever you say, boss.

The worst part she turned him to stone on accident lol

@KuroiKuroudo Tell me where you get it! D:

Oh god! It's in english!! D: The original version is much better in my opinion, but good luck finding a vid of it with decent audio on youtube.

Juriyah

I agree, NIS 're an awesome company, Thanx 4 this game ^^ by da way, not only, looks great, also its so funny, nd da sound... well u're listen right now xD. An amazing gameplay, classic turn attacks fused whith strategy.

@Redstarluv They do lol

AWESOME!!! But the lyrics show up early.

@ExplodingBunnies I agree that the English sounds better than the Japanese. But i think the translation staff also was having a lot of fun while making this game. Just search around the game and you can see them poking fun at the translation.

Whats the next song? ^_^

Maybe that's the best reason. Heh.

Or you can feed it a toilet, and suddenly it doesn't need to poop anymore :D

Just wouldn't be an anime or a proper musical (okay, maybe not the second one) without it. For any non-tropers reading this, gainaxing is the excessive jiggling, AKA the only reason anyone would buy dead or alive beach volleyball.

Isn't this game made by the same company as Disgaea? I just noticed because Majorly was a playable character is Dis 2. :p

ahaha i have this for ds! mine is all in japanese, but it has where you can change it to english also.

am i the only one who was looking for the japanesse version cause that's the one they had when they were little?

Lotsa Gainaxing

Oh. A rabid Japanophile. Nevermind then.

Heh. Apparently a few English voice actors can sing (I knew that already, Vic Mignogna and Jerry Jewell are among the best). It's just that Marjoly appears to be voiced by Lara Jill Miller. ...Kari from Digimon. *facepalm* That was... unexpected.

loved this game on PS1 but I sadly lost it 😭 I picked up the NIS classic remake for switch and I was so disappointed the soundtrack it came with is in Japanese lol so I'm still trying to track down a complete ps 1 copy lol still i like the remake and I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out on Ps 5

OMG!!! i llove the english verson!!XDDDD

@TheSnowflake121 But it was an accident... BD

👍

ahahahah sameee :)

Would you like to play Rhapsody 2 (The Little Princess) ?? Please visit and request for it. PLEASE! They released the Japanese version. I hope they could release an English version... PLEASE!! PLEASE!

Heheh... heh... Jiggly woman parts. What? What song?

Opera and Italian is the same. :P You just know.

Does anyone else think that this is basically a Disney game or movie?

Looks like the ds versoin cept it's in english (I have the game)

Metal Gear Solid series Trigun Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal Alchemist I could go on.

This song is perfect for a conceited mastermind of musical proportions. Or an evil queen. I love to sing this song but i can't make my boobs jiggle like Mojoly's, i don't think anyone can lol.

haha nippon ichi games are the best, I capured her /beat the crap out of her in Disgaea, she is a pretty strong character with her dark conjuration...

yeah, whats up with that?
