Wow🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

could you do a video about Over the Garden Wall OST?

FANTASTIC! I always knew there was something special about this musical but I can never quite describe it! You did such an incredible job of detailing everything from the music lyrics to the characterization! Flawless my dear!

EVERYTHING DEATH NOTE RELATED IS A MASTERPIECE

I’m so mad you made this video before me fuck!!!! I just started writing it 😭😭

in anne of cleves outfit inspiration 14:52 her original silver outfit looks so similar to what you’ve selected as a reference

Can I watch the stageplay on youtube? was wondering where the visuals got pulled from, looks great

I hope you saw the announcement for the musicalllll

The burb 😂

We need this on apple music

52:38 this is also the iconic mother marry pose after her son dies on the cross. the whole stage setup and this song is giving rebirth and full devotion

I loved the Video and It was responsible for me finding this Great musical. Can we please get a Video like this for Heathers?

Any song and musical with Jeremy Jordan I will IMMEDIATELY watch it. I honestly loved watching/ listening to the musical and definitely saved some of the songs.

Help I thought she said let’s play some Minecraft😭 0:07

Girl- i can sing better then u

I haven't watched the whole vid yet so I don't know if you mention this lol, but the composer Frank Wildhorn talked about how his son was a huge death note fan and how when Wildhorn was approached to write the musical, his son said "you have to do it, it'll be the coolest thing you've ever done". I feel like this musical is a testament to what happens when adaptors actually do their research into why people love the original.

Soichiro: Don't cross that line! Light, approximatly 7 miles over the line(TM): Yes, absolutely

1:03:19 there’s actually a third meaning I noticed, idk if you didn’t think of it or just chose not to mention it, but the song is all about death and endings, so the word “goodbye” is also saying that as long as these stories have been around, they’ve ended

1:00:50 huh, i didn't expect a reference to hamilton, i wonder if there's any more references to other musicals throughout the video

Nice breakdown of stalemate! That song is sooo perfect. It's probably my favorite too

I honestly really do like the way it ends from the great performances from Jared Spencer and Jeremy Jordan was pretty amazing❤

Unrelated but the beginning of the video mentioned the death note adaptions people need to know that there's a Death note 2015 jdrama that is also a decent adaptation of the series

Not the person who did the laughing thing 💀

Does anyone know where you can watch the full musical with English subtitles?

I saw it 3 times in London. I'm obsessed with it

Was I the only one who thought Ryuuk was saying "Don't know he's like a Gami" (As in, 'Like a SHINI-Gami') and felt so confused when I saw "Don't know he's Light Yagami"???

All the points you think may be a reach sound amazing and really plausible to me!! Ty for this amazing analysis! Ps. “Brave new world” originally came from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, which I think is an intentional reference considering Light’s song is titled Hurricane.

I just discovered this musical and I'm obsessing over how good it is. Definitely Frank Wildhorn's best work. Usually there are at least a few duds in his scores, sometimes a lot of them mixed in with his incredible hits. Not a low moment in this whole thing though.

THE EARINGS ATE

I will never get over how good this musical is. I am so DESPERATE for the album to be released

I can’t stand musicals. Terrible. And I think it’s weird that death note, which is honestly pretty mid is so relevant in the USA. Just weird. But I loved your video and I appreciate you’re analysis, as well as your respect for art.

I think another inspiration for Aragon is Shakira

Thank you for making this. As a musical theater nerd with some acting experience but absolutely musically illiterate I had no idea the music itself so was ingrained in the narrative. This just makes it an absolute tragedy this did not get a New York English broadway production. Like the part where you say "L doesnt have the brain capacity to make his own melody anymore" while being controlled. The fact this was thought out in the music is so genius. I found The Way it Ends to be so epic. I know you found it boring and basic. But I feel that gives the actors the ability to show what they can do with it. Throw in all the emotion and their own style into it. The music is itself basic so the actors can throw everything into the characters without worrying about singing something complicated. Idk if that makes sense or not.

Very instructing analysis! Thank you

“Oh na na what’s my name” supposedly an ancient goddess

This video truly brought my death note musical phase back. It’s SO FREAKING GOOD

Can I just say that I was not prepared for Jeremy Jordan’s voice to be pitched up 😂 “Where is the Justice” pitched up was a vibe ❤

One small, but very unsubtle thing I like about the Japanese production is how they specifically have Soichiro's actor sing in a more traditional Japanese style, denoting his old-fashioned way of thinking ("Doing things the honorable way is the right way."), while Light sings in a more modern, Western style, bringing in his fresh, youthful perspective and lack of deference to tradition ("To Hell with honor, if it doesn't get the job done."). It's a nice culturally specific touch.

As someone whobloves both death note and musical theater PLEASE SEND ME A LINK FOR THE ENGLISH MUSICAL I AM DYING

Hey Izzy! First off, this video was AMAZING! I'm about to finish a video about the musical myself and I'm giving a direct shout-out and link to this because your analysis of music theory is fantastic and it's something I'm not covering because 1, I'm not trained in it and 2, Nobody could do as good as this. I just wanted to apologize in advance because we seemed to have some parallel thinking in our scripting for a couple of lines, especially with me having more or less the exact same opening sentence and I sincerely hope that you and your audience don't think I plagiarized your brilliant work.

Love your stuff! I want to see you analyze Hazbin hotel music! Just a suggestion

18:48 and lucifer Morningstar in the hazbin hotel show on prime.

I think those arm cover things Anne Boleyn has are called bracers?

I love the fact that every song of Lights always starts with a question. In Where is the Justice? It obviously starts off with the title question, in Hurricane it starts off saying “Did it really happen?” in Secrets & Lies he starts his verse with “Why give away half of my years to see somebody’s name?” But as he becomes Kira he answers every question he asks. As he sinks into becoming Kira, he questions himself less. In the beginning of him becoming Kira he wonders “Am I the justice?” but soon in the end he truly believes he is the justice.

I’ve been obsessed with Death note the musical for a while and I’m so happy to see people talk about it

this video is everything to me. as a music student who’s loved this musical for a few years, i am having the time of my life! this is everything my musical theory nerd heart has ever dreamed of. thank you for this beautiful analysis!

What is the earrings. 💀💀💀
