I don't see how the second one is that gay? If you listen to Playing His Game, you can hear a few interesting lines such as "What does he do late at night". Not to mention that when they say bones, it definitely sounds like balls.

[@Booklover138]

Misa in the anime is annoying but in this musical her voice sends shivers down my spine

[@nicoure]

Why is "like it or not i have his alibi" literally the most canon shit ever and why did i start crying over it.

[@user-gy9th8ei8c]

Why do people hate this Misa? I actually found her voice at this part better than either the Korean or Japanese productions

[@viieswkit]

It's lower and not like the annoying OG Misa we have. Should've probably gotten a soprano.

[@random-zz8ut]

it's definitely better than the japanese one, but i love all the korean Misas too tbh!! especially jeong sun-ah her voice is soooo pretty!!!

[@eva9980]

@@random-zz8ut But the Japanese version is the closest to the character. Japan likes women who are weak, cute and petite, who will make people feel protective. As a popular star, she obviously meets people's standard preferences. I don't like other versions of Misa because they are too Strong and independent, although it sounds good, it doesn't fit the role (especially the two solo songs "I'm ready" and "I'll only love you more" in the English version are very different from the Japanese version)

[@random-zz8ut]

@@eva9980 i agree, but each country's version fits to their standard of women so ig it's perfect

[@eva9980]

sobzer She doesn't sound like what I thought Misa would sound like, but I like her voice in general.

[@orbit4ever]

Swamp Witch I agree

[@orbit4ever]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Like I imagined Misa would have a higher pitch, the deep tone sounds too mature for her, but I think it would fit Takada well.

[@user-gy9th8ei8c]

I actually prefer a Misa with a lower pitch. The Misa in the Japanese version had a high pitch one and it was hooooorible and utterly annoying. It might fit the character, but it ruined all the songs she sang.

[@memesforamerica9664]

It lines up with the musical. Misa's solo is almost right after this song, and they mix together.

[@zinkheroofyoutube8004]

When L says go all in, I think the wrong things

[@Zach2003]

*L and Light singing* Me: Awww yisss *Misa starts singing* Me: Shhhhhhhh, just be quiet... you're interrupting _the bois_

[@tetragaming6332]

I wonder if Misa’s part was intentionally tacked on like this to show how she’s not really part of the game L and Light plays; she’s just an extra tool both sides are using against each other to win the game. They even made her verse ironic to the song and the events

[@riddlemepiss]

i don’t know if anybody’s mentioned it yet but L and light’s theme being used from the anime is SO fucking cool and makes this, despite the english version never getting its own real production, feel so alive like actually being able to see it clearly.

[@magicalmermaidarts7559]

my fbi agent when i listen to this for the seven hundred and fifteenth time today:

[@paradoxical7782]

i LOVE the lines “and if he kills while hes with me / like it or not i am his alibi” because of its double meaning- if light kills someone with L, then L will know hes kira. but if the killings always stop when light is with L, then L will also know hes kira. L is his alibi in proving he didn’t kill anyone, but if he doesnt kill anyone with L, it’d be suspicious.
