I don't know how or why this came up in my recommended videos, but it's cool. Thank goodness for Google Translate so I could figure out that this is from a Japanese production of Elisabeth featuring Yu Shirota and Mari Hanafusa. Gotta say, I can see the David Bowie influence in Yu Shirota's performance. Even the costuming reminds me of his iconic role as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth. (And yes, the character he's playing was written as being is based on a combination of Heinrich Heine and David Bowie.)

English Translation (approximate): - For your love I am able to face against His Majesty the Emperor. But you chose him and now you intend to escape from me. The love that you two profess is nothing more than a farce. And, while in the arms of his majesty, with great sweetness, you smile at me placidly. - That's a lie! - The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. The Habsburgs are declining. The guests in the hall hold their breath. Our duet can't wait any longer. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. All this time I have been watching you from the dark. So, the final victor will be me. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. The last dance belongs only to me. You are destined to dance with me. All this time I have been watching you from the dark. So, the final victor will be me.

This is a story about Emperor Franz Joseph's wife, Elizabeth. She was very young (15 or 16) when she married him. At her wedding, Death personified attends as a guest. Death and Elizabeth fell in love earlier in the play, before she met Franz Joseph, when she almost died after a fall and he couldn't bring himself to take her. Her relationship with Death personified is the underlying theme and love triangle in the story. In this piece, he warns her that even though she's giving her time and body to the Austrian emperor, that she belongs to him and that *HE* will have the last dance. What's absolutely lovely about this is that a German play about an Austrian empress (she was NOT Hungarian) has been adapted in Japanese. It has also been done (very well, I might add) in Korean with Kim Junsu playing the role of Der Tod (Death) and of course, the German version with Mark Seibert. The German version is available with subtitles for anyone that wants to get the whole story. Just search for Elizabeth das Musical English subtitles. (Edit: link for first part; don't worry, the quality gets better kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqi8q4Okh9SSedk)

Born in Spain to a Spanish mother and Japanese father, and he played Tuxedo Mask in the Sailor Moon Musicals (cuz, y'know, there's more than one. Oh Japan...) I was just surprised when the first thing that comes up when you search his name is "Spanish Actor" - I was like...wat?! Also, he's stupid tall, like 6'3". This dude defies everything you think you know about Japanese musical leading men. Or at least everything I thought *I* knew...

Hungarians remember her fondly for her love for Hungary and also for her role in bringing about the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, which partially restored the country's sovereignty. It is awesome to see her story brought to life in the opposite corner of the world, by people from a completely different culture. Really great performance! :)
