初めて見たミュージカルが レ・ミゼラブルでした。 島田歌穂さんの エポニーヌを見られて幸せでした。 今も彼女を超えるエポニーヌはいないと思っています。素晴らしい人。

[@user-zr8uc1uu4o]

初めて生で聴けました！夢が叶いました　歌穂さんはエポニーヌでした　素晴らしかったです　そしてお人柄も素敵

[@momoiropopstar]

Good god no wonder she was picked for the international cast!!

[@disneydanny2]

she seemed *MORE* nervous doing the album than she was at the Royal Variety show , but *THAT'S* probably because she had to do all the Complete Symphonic Recording in English.

もはや島田歌穂が歌っているというよりÈPonineが歌っている、いや、語っていると思えるほどの表現力の 力強さを感じた。

[@lovelove-kk4lp]

この島田かほさんの歌が私の人生を変えました。

[@kan4739]

孤独、哀しみの中にある唯一の光。マリウスへの思いは彼女のたったひとつの真実。 島田歌穂はエポニーヌその人。心からの慟哭に涙が止まらなかった。

[@CoffeeKawaii]

Above the original broadway version, Hollywood film and any other rendition, I think Kaho Shimada is the best Epinone. The way her voice soars at the height of On My Own is absolutely stunning.

[@rats748]

Best Eponine.

[@teeemkay]

I grew up on the international cast recording. She one-ups all of the other Eponines with those extra high notes on "pretending." Gets me every time.

[@TK-tx7gl]

歌穂さんが一番です。

[@julianwhitney6945]

I saw Les Mis for the first time at the South Bank some years ago. I couldn't believe Marius chose Cossete over Eponine, especially 島田歌穂! Every time I watch the film I urge Marius to make the right choice. My wife thinks I'm mad, ”もうきめった！”

[@sorestedhebytheTumtumtree]

But Marius never had any feelings towards Eponine so it just make sense that he'll end up with Cosette.

[@eponinecarol2311]

やっぱ歌穂さんもいいな

[@harshmnr]

すごい！ ~:~

[@gustavomatias4870]

Porra nn é atoa que foi escolhida pro cast internacional arrasou em inglês agora temos em japonês ❤

[@Hiko2120]

Do you have the song "A little fall of rain"in Japanese. And another songs in this cast?? Please post it up

[@tishtashtishtash]

Even more impressive, she knew little to no English, learning this phonetically!

[@takigan]

It's not that impressive when you really think about it. When I was in music school the voice majors regularly gave recitals where they'd have to sing arias/songs in Italian, German, Latin or other languages. When I was in 2nd grade our music class had to sing an entire production in Spanish (most of us spoke zero Spanish). The reason it's not that hard is because music and memory are linked. It's much easier to memorize difficult words and concepts by learning to sing them. It's why we learn our alphabet by first learning to sing it.

[@detectivefiction3701]

@@takigan Right, but British or American opera singers who sing in European languages they don't speak do not necessarily learn those languages PHONETICALLY; they usually learn them by way of "whole language" (though not enough to be fluent). I think what the first poster was saying is that learning just the SOUNDS of the language and imbuing those sounds with meaning is very impressive.

またあたしひとり 行くところもないわ 暖かい家もあたしどこにもない もう夜だね 今夢を見よう 人皆眠る夜一人で歩こう あの人思えば 幸せになれるよ 街は眠り あたしは目覚める ひとりでもふたりだわ いない人に抱かれて ひとり 朝まで歩く 道に迷えば見つけてくれるわ 雨の舗道は銀色 川も妖しく光る 闇は樹に星明かり 見えるのはどこまでもふたりだけ 知ってる 夢見るだけ 話し相手はじぶんだよ あの人 何も知らない だけど 道はある 愛してる でも夜明けにはいない 川もただの川 あの人いない世界は 街も樹もどこも他人ばかりよ 愛しても 思い知らされる 一生夢見るだけさ あの人あたしをいらない 幸せの世界に縁などない 愛してる 愛してる 愛してる でもひとりさ

初演の楽屋待ちで、歌穂さんにどこが良かったですか？とストレートに訊かれて、しどろもどろになったんだけど… あの時、エポニーヌは貴女の他には考えられないって、言いたかったんだよ…

I think aobut a anime as this could work on Re Zero

[@RFcity712]

what anime is this from?

[@CristatusEft]

It's a musical called les miserables, this is a Japanese rendition of it from the official 1994 Japanese version of les mis, this is not specifically from an anime, although Les Miserables does have an anime version to it.
