the only thing you wanna do is…
Giving the audience permission to film the Megasix was the greatest thing the SiX crew could do.
It's such a great and unique way to make the visit memorable. I rewatched my Megasix video so many times! The quality's not the best but I honestly don't care much for that
It still feels do surreal. Like I remember when I got into SiX the musical years ago I loved the concept of the Megasix and hoped one day I'd be able to film my own and now I do and aaaah 💜💜
"N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-Not sorry!"

Peace sign! ✌️ https://x.com/kinako_m_u/status/1885716531403005959 feat. Sonim-Aragon x Maho-Boleyn
Some JP internet slang trivia for this last one:
Both peace signs, when put together, form a "w", which is shorthand for "warau" (笑う), "to laugh". "wwww" is a chain of multiple "w"s, equivalent to "Hahaha" or "LOL".... And guess what Boleyn sings in SIX! The double-meaning of this sign is just (hilariously) genius!
Deadass haven't listened to megasix in years I still remember every single word

Are you ready? Tokyo, let’s go!
My husband is driving me away? Baby I can’t believe it!
You think that I would leave you? / You think you are capable of leaving me? I really can’t believe it! (I won’t let you revoke our married relationship)
I couldn’t believe it!
I’m sorry I didn’t feel bad! As long as I’m having fun! I can’t believe it!
Keep a cool head! I don’t want to hurt you / I don’t want to hurt it
But – for real – but – if you don’t want to – you can’t break me
I’ll change it as much as I want, this unwavering heart
Alone, on a chair, this is my castle!
I’ll do what I want, however I want, yes
I am the queen, kneel before me!
What I want to do, what I want to do, is for us to raise our voices and sing!
What I want you to do, what I want you to do is to love me
I don’t need love anymore, I don’t need to be loved, it’s time to overcome it
Even if I’m not loved, that is not it!
Divorced!
Beheaded!
Died!
Divorced!
Beheaded!
Bereaved!
Yes!
SIX!
Notes (very long I know, read what you want, I’m just passionate about linguistics)
Okay, Japanese is a tricky language to translate due to its grammar and syntax, which is very different from English. I did my best to show nuance, but it’s also 3 AM lol. If you have questions or remarks, I’d love to discuss them!
Aragon: heard 2 versions, the one in parentheses is probably a mistake, a different line in the main song (not 100% sure, as there are no recordings that I know of) – but it gives us an insight into No Way! For the second line, I gave 2 possible translations. Japanese is very much a context-based language, and sometimes things can be interpreted in different ways (the agglutinative language and homophones combo is strooong). Here, I like that both Henry’s and Aragon’s points of view are included! Japanese being syllable-based makes it sometimes hard to put a lot of meaning in a short line, but here the ambivalence works great imo.
Boleyn: the Japanese version kept Boleyn’s playfulness, which is so cool. Love how they also used an idiom “Atama hiyashite” – followed by, once again, an ambiguous syntax which gives us 2 very funny interpretations: I don’t want to hurt you (Henry’s feelings), or hurt the head! The repetition is for “head”. The transition is a bit clumsy from Aragon’s part, but tense change is great (Aragon is old news to Boleyn!)
Seymour: I feel like this is the closest meaning-wise to the original English. The emphasis is on heart (kokoro), which is meaningful ofc.
Cleves: okay, “chair” instead of throne is UGLY. But it is a chair. I guess the rhythm won over lyricism here. I like that “get down” was translated into the specific verb “to kneel” (which I learnt translating this). It makes up for the chair lol.
Howard: another case of agglutination galore. Even though the proposition “yaritaikoto” (= what one wants to do) remains the same, meaning changes with morphemes, hence the different forms when translated. She’s also nicer lol, it’s not your favourite queen song, but she wants us to sing together. I like that the transition with Parr is with A for Ai, love.
Parr: I’m being repetitive once again, agglutination + context and all that here. Great use of love as both noun and verb, which remains the same morphologically in Japanese. “I don’t need to be loved”, while remaining the same, becomes even if I’m not loved… uniting all six queens 🥺❤️
TL;DR I love SIX, I love translation, I hope there will be an official recording of the Japanese version (highly doubt it) or someone is brave enough to bootleg it (please lmk)
Do you think we'll be able to record the Megasix at the proshot?
I doubt it - policies will likely be limited by the theaters, they don't need it to be shared for promo, and it's already recorded so there's none of the appeal of different casts/alternates/etc that they could benefit from.
If anything, I would expect that Six themselves might release the megasix as promo.
i honestly love that one part of megasix that's like a little b4 the transition of get down and all you wanna do bc it's like
"the only thing you wanna do"
"too bad i don't agree"
so it's like
"the only thing you wanna do is..."
"too bad i don't agree (with that)"
another thing throughout that whole part is like no way and dont lose ur head overlap
"I'm just tryna have some fun-n-n-no way"
don't lose ur head and heart of stone overlap
"You can lol, you can say oh well"
BUT heart of stone and get down do NOT overlap
get down and all you wanna do overlap (i alr showed it)
and then all you wanna do and i don't need your love do NOT overlap
have no idea if this is intentional or not, but to me i feel like it symbolizes how:
henry divorced catherine and then immediately married anne, so they overlapped in real life
henry beheaded anne and then immediately married jane, so they overlapped
since henry genuinely loved jane, it took him a bit to marry someone else (anna of cleves)
henry divorced anna and immediately married katherine, so they overlapped
and then it took a while for henry to remarry since he also rly loved katherine
ALSO heart of stone and all you wanna do overlap in that song
"All you wanna do your best"
and i feel like (if it is intentional) it's becaue he only truly loved those two
am i making sense?
hungarian megasix!!!!
