I couldn't believe it when I heard that Risa Niigaki was playing the prince. I still think of her as a little girl with pigtails. 新垣里沙が王子を演じていると聞いた時は信じられませんでした。私はまだ彼女をおさげの小さな女の子だと思っています。

[@FrenchTiana]

I'm amazed by how gaki was just awesome playing the prince role, It's very charming ♥

[@MeraSampson]

i don't speak japanese, excluding the bits and pieces I learn from manga and anime, but art is universal. i love the way the performance was set up. it's aesthetically pleasing and the singing is quite beautiful, so much so that it almost wipes away my wish that the prince was played by a male. the actorsin all of this plays clips were great and i appreciate the all- female cast, as the majority of my acting cl

[@ash.to.stardust]

Wow! Ai and Gaki are sooooo good here!

[@KizuRai]

I think only Niigaki-san could compliment Takahashi's voice so well (and vice versa) both have unique voices and quite a range even. I'm actually surprised this video isn't spammed by TakaGaki fans though. XD

[@missfantasygirl12]

I can watch this again and again and never get bored ^^ They're so amazing!

[@APlolita]

The costumes are very beautiful!♥

[@sabriel18]

@DarkKyoTrace I see, no wonder their voices are so good, thanks for letting me know:)

[@rons9946]

well done

[@93550]

i love how Gaki-san plays her part she knows how to be SMOOTH...Ai-chan being soft ans sweet...makes a great play :)

[@Corsairette]

So cuuuute~!

[@Nissaerith]

lol I felt bad for Niigaki-san in the beginning. Her expression was xD And then CinderAi shows up... *fangirl squeal*

[@carsenmcguffee2205]

Cinderella and Prince

[@SakuraAngel1]

OMG! Gaki-san looks so sexy as prince! XD CinderAi is really pretty...I can't wait to buy this!

[@harukaX6]

this song is soo romantic :) i love it. i love them singin this song. XD

[@lillybet1]

@sabriel18 Just throwing it out there, but in pantomimes which are basically fairy tales, like Cinderella, male leads are often played by women; the prince, robin hood, dick whittington, peter pan... they've all been played by women before and that's not seen as strange.

[@lostlover13]

@sabriel18 Definitely check out the Takarazuka Revue (if you haven't already), they are the best when it comes to playing male-roles.

[@shimett]

so cute :D:D Cinderella in japanese (^^,)

[@sabriel18]

@DarkKyoTrace oh, i see, now it makes sense, but I thought in kabuki men played all the parts, like when men played all the parts in Shakespeare's plays? I thought it was weird at first, its growing on me though. I mean I've seen an all male Shakespeare troupe, so now I don't thinks it soo out of place, and the girls sing really well.

[@marinamastrangelo4809]

Can this come with english subtitles

[@emlodik]

Well, DUH.

[@NatsumiNL]

they arent trainee's because they already have debuted. LONG time ago.

[@blatherskitenoir]

The prince is SO much prettier than Cinderella, who looks kind of scary to me.

[@sabriel18]

@lillybet1 I actually watched the Peter Pan played by a women and didn't think it was strange. I actually think it's kinda cool now. It must be really fun to play a male character and vice versa:)

[@emlodik]

@MrsCamui Go listen to a K.D. Lang cd!

[@emlodik]

Except these ones, right?

[@SxyChicDisney]

what is the MORNING MUSUME version

[@Momspancakes123]

that is a girl as the prince

[@SamiDC]

@BernardProfitendieu Like me? Honey, you don't know me very well do you? In fact you don't know me at all. If you did, you'd know that I hardly ever say it. I only do when I actually mean it and feel that someone has done something incrediably stupid and/or insensitive. Also, can you give me the correct definiton of ignoramus? Or did you just copy and paste my post to make yourself appear to be someone of equal or surprior intelligence?

[@Nerdynessocity]

@sabriel18 - They're all women... that's kinda the point.

[@Dragon1813]

is the prince a Girl?

[@vpuba]

is that the girl as a prince or thats a boy

[@SxyChicDisney]

...is the prince...a girl??

[@sabriel18]

@Nerdynessocity I do understand that they're women, as I stated that in my comment. I just think that it makes no sense. She's playing a prince, prince's are men. I'm sorry if that sounds offensive, but it seems like common sense to me. Roger's and Hammerstein designed the pieces to suit a male voice, and although I think her voice is beautiful, it seems out of place for the song that she is singing. that is all I meant, I'm not trying to offend, so I apologize if I have.

[@SamiDC]

@emlodik No thanks. Unlike some I actually have taste and knowledge of art.

[@Akedoes]

but every role in this one is played by a girl, that's kind of the whole point :-p

[@emlodik]

Oh, I get it! They're lesbians. Haha. Funny.

[@SxyChicDisney]

...they really couldn't just find a male actor to play the prince? i mean...its a prince

[@joytotheworld204]

it's weird because they don't start singing until about 3:40 lol and its annoying cuz its all in japanese - the only word i kno is like baka or something which is idiot... :)

[@sabriel18]

I think they have very pretty voices, but it it seems odd to me that they would choose a women to play the prince. don't get me wrong I'm not against homosexuality or anything. It's just weird because she's obviously a women, and no matter how deep her voice is, its still a women's voice. that being said, I absolutely love this musical, especially in my own little corner, so its nice to hear it in a different language.
