Musical Cats No. 4: Jennyanydots, the Old Gumbie Cat

Jennyanydots, who kicks off the parade of cat introductions in Shiki Theatre Company’s musical CATS.

This number begins with Munkustrap’s mood-rich vocal line, and it’s one you’ll definitely want to sing as a duet.

Be sure to deliver “Thank you, everyone!” with extra charm!

Naoto Kaiho, Miyu Sakihi – A Whole New World (from “I wish. I want. - Naoto Kaiho sings Disney”)

Shiki Theatre Company’s rendition of “A Whole New World.” It’s so wonderful.

Both Disney and Shiki are true professionals! The music is beautiful and stays in your heart forever.

It’s also fun to compare the slightly different lyrics.

Which one do you prefer?

Arabian Nights Shiki Theatre Company

Aladdin isn’t just a Disney production.

Japan’s renowned musical theatre company, Shiki Theatre Company, also stages Aladdin.

It’s a bit different from Disney’s version, but the performances—delivered by outstanding vocalists—are truly wonderful.

diamond in the rough

This is a song sung by Jafar from the Shiki Theatre Company.

It seems that Jafar, Aladdin, and Iago are the three who are singing.

In any case, there really are so many original songs by Shiki Theatre Company.

They’re all so wonderful that they make me want to listen to every single one.

Prince AliGekidan Shiki5rank/position

Prince Ali Shiki Theatre Company The View Prince Ali

This is the Shiki Theatre Company version of ‘Prince Ali.’ It has a slightly different feel from Disney’s, and it’s really fun, isn’t it? The ensemble’s singing is truly wonderful! I can’t decide between the Kōichi Yamadera version and the Shiki Theatre Company version.

Beyond the wallGekidan Shiki6rank/position

Beyond the wall

This is a phrase sung by Shiki Theatre Company’s original Jasmine.

Getting to hear something like this makes you feel really lucky, doesn’t it? The lyrics are so lovely and the vocals are outstanding—I wish Disney would incorporate it too.

Ideal Partner — Friend Like MeGekidan Shiki7rank/position

In Disney terms, this is the part where Genie appears for the first time and sings “Friend Like Me.” The Shiki Theatre Company’s version is wonderful too, of course, but it seems many people still prefer Koichi Yamadera.

It really makes you appreciate the appeal of Yamadera’s voice all over again.
