Is it really upbeat and Happy or is it more of a song that laments the end of something enjoyable. Both Light and L loved the Play and challenge but light won and suddenly he realizes no one will ever match him again. And he is sad rather than feeling triumphant because he himself wishes for a minute more.

It really is the first time, after L has realized he's no longer going to be alive to play, that he interacts with Light as more than an opponent in his game, but a menace who is truly evil. No coincidence it comes right after L reveals his trump card: he knew Light was Kira since the very beginning, and Light simply responds by saying he let him play his part. It shows that even with the most ingenius of L's 4d chess, he "didn't see this coming." Light is able to kill him and get away with it anyways.

"As if I am acting in a play So out of character, yet somehow not a shock" I like to think these two lines are not only L saying he feels as if he's being manipulated all the way leading up to his death - but also a nod to the fact that this is a play, a musical, and, above all things, an adaptation. That he is not the same as the L from the manga, or from the anime, or any of the other version - this is another L, but it's 'somehow not a shock' - he still, ultimately, is L.

Light sounds so aggressively triumphant in this song, but at the very end, his tone softens and becomes solemn and morose. When he sings "when you wish you had a minute more / a minute more”, he's obviously counting down the seconds until L passes, but it kinda sounds like he's secretly bartering for "a minute more"/more time to spend with L, his only equivalent. You can hear the exact moment his tone changes from "CHECKMATE, L!" to "Oh shit, this really is the end". The playwright said that this musical is about different types of love - romantic, familial, friendship, etc. Despite their opposition, L and Light had mutual respect for one another. They were kindred spirits. I love that Light dies shortly after L in the musical. Their chains and handcuffs kinda symbolize the red string of fate: L and Light were bound together by fate, and the fall of one inevitably leads to the downfall of the other. Ryuk kills Light because without L (the only person worthy of being his opponent), the game is over. He essentially has nothing to live for. anyways im gay and sad

I get more of a general, “dark computer faintly being shined with a dim sunlight at a mock beach(in that it’s not really near any beach, but the atmosphere can creep up through the air outside) environment” vibe with the score and instrumentation in this, during the intro and verses(L and Light’s solo parts) in this(like your inside your house all day, even though it’s still bright outside despite it being mid afternoon, like me over here in Whittier, California), casually dipping into the pulsing yet empty darkness that you end up blinding yourself with as you try to shield your eyes from the light peering from the couch you sit in near the windows during the choruses(“Is this/this is the way it ends now-”), all the while the bridge(“I’ve seen through you right from the start-“) is reminiscent of your attempts to seclude yourself in the dark in the hopes that the computer, T.V., or whatever will suffice as you endure this feeling like you can’t simply go outside for a change for reasons maybe fixable but otherwise unexplainable to yourself alone in the moment. Something, like much of this musical’s score in general, reminiscent of the rock edges presented in the anime’s score now given the chance to expand on it’s own inner portrayals of the characters through the vocals. That’s what I think, anyway. I’d be curious to hear how you think this song gave you a love song vibe, Natalie. :)

Yet through the rest of the song he seems perfectly fine and happy about L dying. You could put it up that the writers simply wanted the song where L, a belovedly over rated(I still love you L) character, dies to end on a sad note, but if that were the case, why not have L sing it himself? Nope. They used Light. Light sounding sad about his nemesis' death? Hm... any thoughts? I'm open to suggestion.

You are not alone. I share your belief that Light is actually a little regretful here that he has sentenced L to death. L was the ying to his yang, the only other person on the planet who could match him. And now he's lost that person because they chose to stood in his way. You could even argue that Light genuinely thought of L as a friend, in the musical atleast, because the writers actually manage to make Light more sympathetic (just a tad, mind you lol) then the manga and anime. This is shown when Light sings multiple times that killing people with the Death Note does indeed take an emotional toll on him, especially the FBI agents; but he feels he has no choice to create his New World. It's all up to interpretation. Myself has seen video of both Hong Kwang-Ho and Han Ji-Sang as Light in this scene, and both actors display some sort of remorseful emotion. Ho just stands still with a look of, "I didn't want to do that, but I had no choice." While Sang, takes it a step further by getting this look of emotional agony on his face, before covering it with his hands, like he's ready to cry, and dropping to the floor.

When L died in the anime I think Light was thankful that L wouldn't stand in his way anymore (look how long that lasted) but also remorseful because things would be 'boring'.

Rem has written, you will right no more! This is the best pun ever.

This song is one of the most upbeat yet horrifying on the album; we already know scenarios can be written out in the Note for how someone dies but it tends to have a bit of leeway for interpretation, so the fact that leeway seems to be L knows he's now acting out the scenario is really sad. Light knew him well enough to have L doing everything he would normally be doing, and L just knows everything's off! Love this musical!

You know I just realized, L would've been seen as Kira in the play. Light may not get to continue being him, but noone will think it was him. Think about it this way. The cops go and find L and Light, who most of the world probably thought it was one of those two. Light fired at Ryuk so the gun is near him... L has a gunshot in his head, and Light died of a heart attack. I feel like they'd assume Light found out L was Kira, killed him, but L gave him a heart attack too. In the end maybe not a win for light... but he died with people thinking his honor was in tact, while L's name is destroyed as Kira.

I think Light is sad in a way that L died, because 1, I believe he thought of L as some kind of a friend. and 2, Light enjoyed having a rival, a nemesis, someone who matched his intelligence. Because L and Light were extremely similar, however, Light won. But in that last note Light sings, you can hear the regret in his voice. Like he somehow wishes he didn't have to kill L. This musical is so amazing. I'm really hoping it gets a production in America (or Canada, since that would be easier for me, a Canadian to see it haha) sometime soon. Because it sounds a little funny that it's based off of an anime, but as a giant theater nerd this concept album is better than some soundtracks from Broadway musicals (that is just my opinion). If it does get a full production, it better have Jeremy Jordan in it because he is perfect for Light (and he's also my favorite Broadway actor haha)

this is completely random and not about either songs, but in Hurricane, Light says "writing is the gun I only have to aim." this is called back to in There Are Lines when Light and Soichiro duet; where the full line is "you don't load a gun, close your eyes and shoot," Light simply says "you don't close your eyes and shoot." because yknow, writing is the gun

Okay. But, like Jarrod's “ ... Like a closing door“ sounds amazing. Woah.

"The message that he sends now sounds exactly like a closing door." Ever closed a door and heard that "Ka-thunk"? It's his final heartbeat. Brilliant lyric.

This is probably the most up-beat song about death I've heard in a while...

There are so many incredible songs on this album and yet this under the radar lowkey vibe of an ending means so much more to me than the rest. It’s filled with longing, sadness, resignation, makes me feel hollow inside. L knowing death is on the way, Light’s regretful victory. Idk lol I’ll listen to this song on repeat

2:03 I LOVE how here, the music underneath changes key, but L's still stuck singing in the previous one - as he himself says, "like bad code that keeps repeating". Alternatively, you could say that this is showing Light be a step ahead of L here, showing L falling behind in a song controlled by Light. It's *so* good

And then right after, Light hits that triumphant soaring high note, finally getting the upperhand in the melody over L. Thinking he's won...

What I find fascinating is that, in the Japanese version ('Saigo no Toki'), it's Light that has the first verse, not L. I just find that interesting that they let the emotional lead in for this song be L's impending death, and not Light's victory.

How does this sound like gaining a victorious win and be filled sweet catharsis , then sounding like someone special is departin' in the arms of someone who they care for?

Also when light says a minute more i feel like he wishing he did not kill L

Consistently, L takes the higher harmonies in their duets throughout the musical. But with his last note, Light has the high note, and L stays on the same note, symbolizing his time and energy running out 🤩

THEY BOTH CLEARLY DON'T WANT IT TO END, one for obvious reasons, the other because this is just the best thing he ever got in his empty life I AM SAD ONLY TEARS WHY I bet Light wished he could take erase lawliet's name right? BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR THEY LIKE WHAT THEY GOT GOING ON

I love this more than the Japanese version. It gives us more insight to L's thoughts as he dies. It is tragic that we really get to see his fear of death and seeing how useless it is to fight it.

I realized something sad. L knew all a long that Light was Kira and he was telling everyone on the Kira Task force the whole time. No one believed him. And because no one believed him, he died. As well as Light. They may have both still been alive if Soichiro had just gotten passed that Kira was his son.

The song really is amazing. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling L must have while being forced to walk knowingly right into his demise. You can practically feel the dread in every note he sings. No matter how often I hear this I cant help but feel the unease

Listened to the japanese version because of your comment and agree that Light sounds more desperate which sounds absolutely amazing! I like the english version better though because Light sounds more regretful and saddened that he himself had a minute more with L for one reason or another.

"As if I'm acting in a play." I died while trying not to cry at this song. It's too happy for L's death.

I imagine the two meeting in the afterlife and apologizing to eachother. That last line where Light says "wish you had a minute more" he wished L didnt die. I can see Light running up to L in the afterlife, crying and apolizing for what he did.

Also my god these two are amazing! While the original English voice actor is great for L, I would love to hear the person playing L in this to take a stab at it too. They're so good and the singer for Light sounds a lot like him as well!

L knowing reveals a disturbing side of the Death Note.

See, my favorite part is the exchange from 'I've seen through you from the start" to "Don't you know that you will die today?". Because i can see it from the moment they face each other finally, knowing that indeed, Light is Kira. L telling him that he always knew who he was, confronting him finally after all the rat-cat chase alike then Light answering him that yes, he was Kira all along and that he just L be, follow the proofs and craft his theories until this moment- his death. Then, L, knowing that he can't do anything more just burst the first thing in his mind. With complety despair and fear taking his body but trying himself to no break down "You will never get away!", you can hear the actor's voice cracking twice in this moment, like projecting L's feelings at that moment. He knows he failed, his calm and intelligent persona breaking down for this moment and this moment only. And then, Light triumphantly chuckles and aks sarcastically "Don't you know that you will die today?", you'll see he has a grin in his face, his hand going up, showing L the thing that's going on right now. And the note follows through, showing how he indeed, is just a few seconds lefts to do so. Idk man, this musical just hits hard.

I wish they would've been super consistent, except perhaps during Playing His Game, of all of Light's metaphors using elements of nature or laws of the universe, metaphysical concepts like justice; and all of L's metaphors involving man-made technology/systems. But Light calling L "just a pawn upon a board" would be more of an L line. But I'd be interested going through all of their lines to see just how consistent this is. Don't forget at the end L says "the message that it sends now" messages being a human construct, "exactly like a closing door" same thing.

This song is literally the most painful thing I ever heard I- ouch

This is definitely my favorite finale to a musical... ever. You can hear L realize exactly what's going to happen, and he knows he has to accept it. Because there's nothing he can do. And he finally realizes it. And then you hear Light gloat triumphantly, and then there's a slight note of... regret. It's perfectly written, and I love it. You really feel the desperation and crushing feeling of the impending doom of death. I especially love the line about the camera. It has fogged up, meaning that he's feeling emotion. And the darker pictures are that he isn't seeing things as clearly. Those emotions are twisting how he's looking at the world. This entire musical is an actor/writer's dream.

Honestly the whole scene after this songs is freaking amazing. In the Japanese production Light forces L to commit suicide, and then Ryuk writes Light’s name in the death note. The absolute tantrum that Light throws while singing a reprise is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend checking it out

The method of repeating the one phrase in this song seems to be a very skillful way to express the scene of the eyes closing in phases, which was drawn over three frames in the original manga.

The writer is a genius… How could he play such a hopeful number and then kill both characters??

"Is this the way it ends, now? How could i not see it coming" this line breaks my heart. L didn't want to die, but he knew there was nothing he could do to change his fate now.

Y'know I always felt like in the anime when Light died it was a sort of mercy from Ryuk. He had been shot several times and was already dying, so when Ryuk wrote his name down I saw it as an easier end for Light. But in the musical Light had finally won, and everything had gone according to plan. I think that in the musical Ryuk killing light was more an act of revenge for Rem's death than an act of mercy. Light's blatant manipulation of Rem's feelings for Misa were more obvious in the musical, and I think Light's death was Ryuk's way of avenging her...just my thought tho

EPISODE 25 + the way it ends = instant coma

L is the only one Light ever considered an equal and the only one worthy of taking him down- and was legitimately sad to see him go.

I love how this exchange differs so much from L’s final scenes with light in the anime. Here the two of them are belting and practically pouring their hearts out for one another, but the anime keeps its tension by what ISNT said. L alludes to the fact he knows Light is a liar and each go their separate ways understanding each other’s thoughts almost perfectly. Two different but really gratifying approaches ☠️📓💜

"My camera's cloudy lens now Takes much darker pictures than before" Favourite lyric. For some reason, the image of the world darkening like skies before a rainstorm is very piercing. I think the first drops of rain fall as the final chords fade out.

Everyone’s talking about the “had a minute more” line but not “I’ve always stayed a step ahead, but you were with me all the way” Like sure the minute more line shows that even though he’s glad it’s ending he’s devastated that it’s over, however, that other line just highlights exactly how Light felt about L. If Light hated L you would expect something like “you were always catching up” or “you were always right behind me”… but no. Instead we get “you were with me all the way”. All the way to the end of the game. You played well and never surrendered. I’m glad I won, but I’m sad you had to lose for me to get my way. Light highly respects L. In another world they might have been good friends.

Every few months I come back to this musical and just fall in love all over again with this song. It really is a perfect song to end the dynamic between L and light with both of them being neck and neck with each other for so long only for light to use someone’s love as a way to get L’s name and ultimately win. And even tho he “won” the game, it was mainly something to entertain Ryuk and the musical has him writing Light’s name in the death note right after the song. Even if Light won, in the end he still faced his demise.

L: oh no is this how I die? Light Djarin: This is The Way

and so ends the homoerotic tension between a murderer and a detective whether or not you chose to interpret it as such, they were the perfect match for each other, as rivals, friends, or more, it’s up to you really
