The Phantom of the Opera [ishimondo]

ACT 1 SCENE 1

Junko Enoshima (poorly singing):
This trophy from our saviours, from the enslaving force of rome!

Female singers:
With feasting and dancing and song, tonight in celebration. We greet the victorious throng, returned to bring salvation!

Male singers:
The trumpets of Carthage resound! Hear, Romans, now and tremble! Hark to our step on the ground!

All:
Hear the drums - Hannibal comes!

Gundham Tanaka:
Sad to return to find the land we love threatened once more by Roma's far-reaching grasp.

Ibuki Miyoda:
Dude it's "Rome" not "Roma"

Gundham Tanaka:
Yes, mortal, "Rome", not Roma. It is very hard for me! (practicing) Rome... Rome...

Ibuki Miyoda:
Again then, please dude. "Sad to return..."

Kaito Momota:
This way, dudes, this way. Rehearsals, as you see, are under way, for a new production of Chalumeau's "Hannibal".
Dudes and dudettes, some of you might have met Makoto and Hajime already..

Ibuki Miyoda:
Kaito bro we are literally rehearsing, do you mind? Wait a bit, damn.

Kaito Momota:
Sorry man. Carry on.

Ibuki Miyoda:
Thanks, continue. "Sad to return..." Gundham.

Kaito Momota:
Our conductor, Ibuki.

Gundham Tanaka:
Sad to return to find the land we love threatened oncd more by Rome's far-reaching grasp. Tomorrow we shall break the chains of Rome. Tonight, rejoice - your army has come home.

Kaito Momota:
That's Gundham, the lead male singer. He plays opposite to Junko, the lead female singer.

Kirumi Tojo:
Gentlemen, please! If you would kindly move to one side.

Kaito Momota:
Sorry, dude. That's Kirumi, the ballet mistress.

Hajime Hinata:
I keep asking you, why are you retiring?

Kaito Momota (ignoring):
We flex how good our ballet dancers are all the time bro. It's one of the best things we have here.

Makoto Naegi:
Who's that girl, Kaito?

Kaito Momota:
Her? Kaede Akamatsu, Kirumi's kid. Best dancer bro, best dancer.

Kirumi Tojo:
You, Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Concentrate, boy!

Kaede Akamatsu:
Taka, what's the matter with you?

Hajime Hinata:
Ishimaru? Weird name.

Kaito Momota:
It's Japanese.

Makoto Naegi:
Any relation to the prime minister?

Kaito Momota:
His only grandson. He literally can never concentrate.
Dudes and dudettes - Kirumi, thank
you - may I have your attention, please?
As you know, for some weeks there have
been rumours of me retiring I can now tell you that these were all true and it is my pleasure to introduce to you the two gentlemen who now own the Opera Populaire, Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata.
