I wouldn't say that as the lyrics aren't exactly the same I mean the tune is the same and the context is the same but i wouldn't use it to learn Japanse XD

Kristin sang a medley of "Popular" in different languages at a concert of hers I went to in November and called, "Around the World with Gah-Linda" I'm pretty sure she sang part of it in Japanese, it was pretty awesome, especially to hear it live!
I wonder how much wordplay the translators managed to fit in. The original show has so many puns and weird unexpected rhymes; it was probably a real pain in the ass to translate.
I'm going to make a lyric video for this. I'm japanese so it should be easy. This doesn't use much hard words. You can watch it if you want..... It might take a week or so.
Damn this sounds even cuter in Japanese. This chick sounds like an even more perky Kristen Chenoweth, and here I thought ya couldn't get much more perky than Kristen.
I have to say Japanese version of this song is really sucks. Lyrics are far different from original and it’s no longer a same musical. Shiki completely erased humor, cuteness and arrogance from Glinda. It happens all the time when broadway masterpieces are played by company Shiki, and I’m sick of it. Please Shiki, don’t destroy quality of this wonderful musical, otherwise play your original one only!

A literal English translation:
Elfie, I'm going to change your image!
You really don't have to.
Don't worry
It's because I'm an amazing person
Any time I see a friend in need, I want to do anything I can for them
I'm simply must
You need to change immediately
You absolutely must! Understand?

Popularity is very important
Most people consider it
The most important thing
Popular
It's a magic word
You are going to finally be popular

Definitely, with a sparkling change
You'll be a popular person
Yes, you!
If you listen to what I say

Very very popular

thank you
日本語大好き! "おれ~は、いいのよ~?"

I love these. Since I know all the words in English it's so strange, but good for understand and learning Japanese ^.^
I wouldn't say that as the lyrics aren't exactly the same I mean the tune is the same and the context is the same but i wouldn't use it to learn Japanse XD

Anyone seen the vid recently posted of Kristin Chenoweth singing this song in Japanese? It is AWESOME!
Thank you
love it in japanese, english and german

歌唱力凄すぎる・・・
だよねー
I wonder how much wordplay the translators managed to fit in. The original show has so many puns and weird unexpected rhymes; it was probably a real pain in the ass to translate.
オリジナルバージョンはもちろん素晴らしいですが、田村芽実さんも負けてないですね！
ミュージカルの音楽がもっと世間の皆さんから見つかるといいな。
i realize it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
また劇団四季でやって欲しいな
号泣しそう
よかったですね！
めちゃよかった！
Popura iwa e ne popura. that is all I know of the japanese lyrics and my friend is the one who sent it to me. ^^
面白い！！
So weird, listening to Wicked and not understanding a single word! XD Well, that's not exactly right, I understand "Popular"! ;-)
OHHHHH YES!!!
loveee iiit
I can't stop thinking of how adorable anime Gurinda would be. :D
i want some of you to realize that some words in many asian languages are just the american word in an accent (by the way Im asian i would know)
I'm going to make a lyric video for this. I'm japanese so it should be easy. This doesn't use much hard words. You can watch it if you want..... It might take a week or so.
"This channel has no videos."
My disappointment is immeasurable and my decade is ruined.
"Po-pyu-la"
This is so cute. Ra ra ra
this out perky's Kristen lmao. Love it!
soooooooooo kawaii yes japanese and wicked is epic kyaaaaaaaaaaaa i love it more in japanese
Haha, I'm glad they didn't translate the word "Popular"... gah, I love this. xDDD
this makes me want to make a Wicked manga...if i could draw like that :(
Damn this sounds even cuter in Japanese. This chick sounds like an even more perky Kristen Chenoweth, and here I thought ya couldn't get much more perky than Kristen.
@KeiHime013 Someone needs to draw the entire cast, Chibi-style.
haha its so cute :DDDD i can only sing like half of it but work on it lol xD
@demilovatofaith Makes sense- every language borrows from other languages. Good to know though. :D
What do you mean by a trade? I could blow my friend's mind if I had this! And the musical absolutely rocks. So what are the conditions for "trade?"
I'm interested in the soundtrack! Let's talk trade!
There's more than anime in this world, Japan doesn't mean anime. I'm sick of people who immediately talks about anime.
Yarzeth Ayala thank you.
im pretty sure its just a joke lmao
IKR they all think japan‘s cukture is only anime
I mean your not wrong but it is their biggest contribution to pop culture in the modern world
@ProOtakuNinjas that's cool, so does it translate well into Japanese? is it as funny as in english? (:
Actually, she says "Popurah". The Japanese don't really have the L sound in their language.
I wish I understood what was being sung! I wonder if it's as funny as it is in english? (:
They would frequently depict her in chibi form, no doubt.
WERE IS THE LINK???
É impressão minha ou essa música é melhor em japonês?
Popular is like say poplar
1:00 (自分用)
日本人が楽しめる和訳があってとてもよかったけど、バイリンガルの人の立場から見るとこの英語版と日本語版の差が激しい、、、
英語の方にあるユーマ、言葉遊び、歌詞クオリティーがこの和訳に10%しか伝わっていない、、、
Can you please give the link? 0_o' really want to hear that!!!!
I soo want to trade
where did you buy the cd?
@otaku06 popyura* lol
0:55
what exactly are you for in a trade? just wondering cause im interested.
0:11
More cutesy in Japanese... kawaii if you will. :D
Waifu Laifu lol
What is the adaptation to the "were-- are (..) popu-ler... lar" joke?
There is none. Pretty much all of the word play and most of the humor and some of the character are all lost in translation. It's pretty sad actually.
I have to say Japanese version of this song is really sucks. Lyrics are far different from original and it’s no longer a same musical.
Shiki completely erased humor, cuteness and arrogance from Glinda.
It happens all the time when broadway masterpieces are played by company Shiki, and I’m sick of it.
