We've all been seeing Death Note Musical news and dress rehearsal videos coming out of Japan and Korea, but those of us in the English speaking world have yet to fully comprehend what we're hearing.
How can we know how Kira and L sound mid-duet, when the lyrics are strange to our ears?
Obviously we could simply learn Japanese or Korean and stop being so lazy about it. But we don't have to, because a New York cast performed demos back in the day when Frank Wildhorn was writing all these songs.
This is how they sound.
