It's entitled 'The World Premiere of Death Note the Musical in Production' and it's been uploaded onto YouTube by promoters HoriPro. Beyond that, there's not too many details attached.
It seems that we're watching both Kira actors sing what's presumably a key song from the Death Note stage show. Kenji Urai kicks us off, before Hayato Kakizawa picks up the second verse, then the pair continue in their duet.
I'd assumed that they shared the role - as in each actor working alternate nights - but this suggests that both actors will be playing Light Yagami for all performances. Perhaps a younger and older version? Though that makes no sense. They're both whippersnappers! Plus Kira never gets old enough to require a more senior actor.
We're not even given the title of this Death Note tune. The blarb beneath is merely a general announcement, listing star cast members, while telling us that Frank Wildhorn composed the music, and Tamiya Kuriyama is directing the performance.
Nevertheless it's a first glimpse at Kira in the musical (times two). What are your first impressions?
And many, many thanks to Logan for catching this, then giving us a heads up.
