Beauty & the Beast
Ok – here’s my last post about the Beauty & the Beast musical that I saw in Hiroshima.

For a refresher, you can first listen to the English and Japanese film versions of Beauty & the Beast.

If you’d like to see the lyrics and their translation, go back to this post and take a look. Now, check out the Japanese adaptation of the same number, but this time from the Broadway musical. It’s pretty much a completely different song from the get-go. The lyrics and translation are all here for your perusal “after the jump.”
