Hetalia Broadway Character Theme Songs - Part One

[AntoniaBayle]

AUSTRIA!!!! His song was perfect.... *sniffle* ....and France as Gaston...they're both French... It's official. You are a genius.

[doitsuxitaly]

You've probably gotten the songs picked out for the next video, but i'd like to make a suggestion for Holy Roman Empire, "If I loved you (reprise)" from Carousel. The song is a dead man singing to his love about how he regrets not really telling her how he felt. It's very sad.

[elphiethesane]

@doitsuxitaly Oh, thanks! I don't actually have a song for just HRE, so I'm glad you pointed that out. I might take a look for a future installment. ^^

…When I finally get around to finishing…

[alexdsimpson]

XD Yessshh! Muchas gracias!!! I'm not Spanish, but my love for him meant learning SOME, si? *happy dances*

[alexdsimpson]

I wonder how the second part is coming along? My birthday is coming up soon, and if you uploaded with Spain's Broadway theme, I would fangasm all over youtube. I'm going keel over from anticipation if it doesn't come out soon! XD

[elphiethesane]

@alexdsimpson LOL, I actually had forgotten about it a bit… I've got all the songs picked out, I just need to finish the video. I'll have to do that, won't I? And Happy Birthday! ^^

[alexdsimpson]

@elphiethesane Oh, yay! I'm glad! I'm also glad I didn't, like, tick you off. I was kinda scared you'd be like "B**ch, I gots a life!" or something... Anyway! XDDD I can't wait to see it! I have this video in a playlist, my favs list, and my like list, so no matter which one I choose, this one comes on! XD I love Prussia's the most, followed by Russia, but I can't WAIT to see Spain's. Is he one of the chosen? *insert imploring kitty eyes and purring*

[elphiethesane]

@alexdsimpson …Life? What is this "life" you speak of? XD

And yes, yes he is. I quite like the song I picked for him… It's very cheerful. ^^

[shayevilsoul]

wow amazing.... because I'm a broadway lover and a hetalia fan this made my day! especially italy, germany, austria, england, and russia.... aw thats nearly all of them huh? :3

[YouWithTheFace11]

Personally I like the choice for Canada, it's about a guy wanting to be noticed, and seen as something greater than he is.....and it made me think of Springtime for Hitler, which was good after Germany's heartbreaking song.

[seileach67]

"I Enjoy Being a Girl" for Hungary(from "Flower Drum Song") It's like in canon when Prussia is inviting her to hang out with him(post-reveal) and she insists that she's not into hunting and guy stuff anymore, though it's obvious she's just saying that...

[elphiethesane]

@seileach67 Oh, I've never heard of that one… I'll have to take a look. Thanks! ^^

[256NatLiz]

I hadn't thought of this before, but the song you used for Germany could fit for Italy in HetaOni, especially the first time they'd gone through the...

Hey! I see a video with that song! Someone thought of it before me. Cool.

I can not help but sing Edelweiss. So many memories. That's really what Austria's voice shoulda sounded like in the dub.

I like the producer song for Canada. Shows he aims high: not just to be noticed, but to show everyone what he can do.

Love Russia's song!

Awesome video.

[elphiethesane]

@256NatLiz LOL, it does fir pretty perfectly, huh? ^^

Edelweiss has always been my favorite song from The Sound of Music. It's just so damn pretty… I can't help singing along every time I hear it.

Anyway, glad you liked it! ^^

[256NatLiz]

@elphiethesane It has some odd temptation to make anyone who hears it, and knows it, sing it (Edelweiss, I mean).

[BrokenAbyssChain]

I was at Germany's and thinking "Oh, these are some really good song choices" and then BAM! You go and smack me in the face with One Song Glory/Prussia - My fave ever broadway song and APH char together~ I'd give you hugs of joy, but my eyes are leaking. Brb *Cries at the awesomeness before faving & liking*

[alexdsimpson]

Prussia's made me cry. So perfect. ;_; I, at first, was like Canada's HAS to be Mr. Cellophane, but I actually liked yours more. Mr. Cellophane is kinda overused for him, ne? I also fangirled over Ro-sama's song. Yours is by FAR the best theme song amv I've seen. I'm looking forward to part two!

[elphiethesane]

@alexdsimpson Thank you! I'm glad you like it so much… I try very hard on these, even if they're just slideshows. ^^

[Blunka796]

Russia, Germany and Romano's were depressing :(

Ah, perfect song for America !

[khlover001]

asjhdahdfbfhe Russia's song!!!!!! <3 w <3

[gkoch418]

Germany's song, Austria's song, and Russia songs were AWESOME! Pleaz make another 83

[elphiethesane]

@gkoch418 LOL, thanks. And I'm actually working on part 2 now... Though it could still be awhile. The end of the year is uber busy for me. ^^

[RocketSauce801]

Canada's totally should've been "Mr. Cellophane" from Chicago. ;A;

Russia's was perfect. xD

[elphiethesane]

@RocketSauce801 Yeah, people have said that before... I still like the one I gave him, though.

[lonelynarutofan]

Canad didn't make sense but loved the rest!

[elphiethesane]

@lonelynarutofan *blinks* How didn't it make sense? I mean, if you take it literally, yeah, but the feel of the song fits him pretty well, I think. I mean, a quiet guy who wants to be recognized as something more...

[BHY1117]

@elphiethesane It fits. It's not the typical song that many would think of Canada, but if you've seen The Producers, Leo Bloom IS Canada. He's ignored and degraded when we first meet him, but eventually he stands his ground.

[hestia1962]

Best AMV, just saying. Because I am a Broadway geek, and also a Hetalia geek, you took two of my favorite things together and put them together. In my eyes this makes you a boss.

Kudos

[khlover001]

@hestia1962 Omg r u a doctor who fan!?! O: cuz I saw this guy at wicked selling programs... and he was hot and dress like the Doctor (11).. (: My mom was like "The one time being a geek is useful..."

[AsuriLight]

lol Russia's the Phantom of the Opera. It's perfect.

Germany's song made me cry. Though I adore Les Miz.

[darkangel12336]

Austria's made me cry soo much. I WANT TO MOVE BACK TO EUROPE SO BADLY!

[caytmiashell]

Prussia's = Epic Win

[FlameHikariUchiha]

My sister and I would laugh when in N. Italy's song the singer says "swankified".

[aqwash1]

germany and romano made me cry. america canada and england made me laugh. russia made me scream with joy LOVED THIS

[loralunafantasy]

This is a beautifully made video~

Are you going to make another part soon? I'd love to see it~

[elphiethesane]

@loralunafantasy Thank you! And yes, I will make another one. As soon as I stop putting off finishing my song list. XD

[QueenRosiePosie]

adsdf Austria's song~ ♥

[TheLastCurlbender]

Liked and Faved...as soon as I heard Michael Ball XD

Les Mis + Hetalia = Pure Joy <3

[eggyolksam]

russia's is so damn fitting it's almost impossible

[ChillMusicVillge]

I love all the songs.

I heard the first second of Englands and was all, "PIRATES OF PENZANCE. HELL YEAH"

I was Kate in my acting troupe's production of that~

[Sherlockandwatson007]

OMG I LOVED germany's song. Les Mis is such a tragic musical and the song fit germany perfectly! But can u explain y u chose that song 4 him? I mean does one of his friends die in the show? i've seen all of Axis Powers but what am i missing? just let my know if u get the chance k. Loved Ausrta's song 2! it was perfect! I also loved Britain's!

[TresIvre]

@Sherlockandwatson007

The song fits for when his brother (Prussia/Gilbert) was under Russian control, and he had like, no idea whether he was alive or dead, hope that helps.

~!Adelle!~

[elphiethesane]

@TresIvre LOL, that wasn't exactly what I was going for, but it works. Besides, what I had in mind was... Pretty vague and not a specific character.

[chibicutie1]

wondeful, my favorites were france and russia

[AliceAeroMCR]

Germany makes a marvelous Marius <3 and i kinda knew Austria would be paired with Edelweiss lol, all the songs were amazing <3

[SnowingWolfGirl]

Russia's song fits him way too well. Poor Russia, he's misunderstood :(

[SnowingWolfGirl]

Where's part two? :D

[momoxtoshiro100]

are you ganna make another one??? becuse i realy loved this :D

[DemonDancingDove]

*hugs Russia* Russia isn't a monster! He's my teddy bear!

[MillenniumRing20]

I just realized how much Dancing Through Life really fit North Italy!

[absolutgermanyfangrl]

OMG, Russia's song- from Phantom of the Opera!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the movie, and once I saw a pic of Gerard Butler- He looked like Grandpa Rome!!!

[Aimixx2]

second song?

[elphiethesane]

@Aimixx2 Are you asking what the second song is? 'Cause they're all listed at the end, but... Uh... That was Romano's, wasn't it? In that case it's "You Must Love Me" from Evita. ^^

[EmoDemon157]

What sound was used for Russia? I love Russia, because I am going to be him and he is evil!! kolkolkolkolkolkolkol......

[SugarBaby2414]

if you compare Italy's song in the beginning (all happy and whatnot) then Germany's (all depressing and remorsful) and it has a dead/wounded Italy it's just like, oh dear god *starts bawling like a baby*. Twas amazing.

[256NatLiz]

Of course, Austria sings 'Edelweiss.' Who else saw that?

I thought Russia's song sounded familiar.

That was cool what you did with the map and capital cities and whatnot!

[Alicetimetable]

This is PRUSSIA~ Everything I loved in here! (exept the Spammano)

[elphiethesane]

@Alicetimetable LOL, I get what you mean... I wanted to attempt to keep pairings out of it, but his wouldn't work otherwise. So I just picked my favorite... The nice thing is, I think 90% of the lyrics will still work if you pair him with someone else. ^^

[Alicetimetable]

@elphiethesane ^^ Oh I see. I'm sorry if I sounded mean...

[elphiethesane]

@Alicetimetable LOL, why would you sound mean? ^^

[Alicetimetable]

@elphiethesane >//< Um... I'm not sure, to be honest. Sorry.

[MakiaLink]

Hahaha, Oh my God, these were PERFECT!!! XD (Russia's was so well fitting!)

[Lamashtar]

LOL The song Edelweiss was made for the movie, it's not Austrian at all. I wonder what Austria thinks that America constantly thinks its important to him.

[12ApollosLyre21]

*Germany's song plays*

Me: OHNONOTTHISSONG *sobs*

Amazing video, you really got the characters personalities!

[elphiethesane]

@12ApollosLyre21 LOL, thank you! I really worked hard to try and get them as close as possible... ^^

[burningkitchen]

russia would so be the phantom it just work's so well.

[Gforce606]

i love russia's and italy's

[deadwolfkiyoshi]

This scared the living crap out of me when I started watching but then it started getting good. I just love Russia's!

[AliceBaudelaire]

Russia's gave me chills, Germany's nearly made me cry. I eagerly look forward to the next one!

[Estarile]

what play did americas song come from?

[elphiethesane]

@Estarile LOL, it's listed at the end, but it's from The Little Mermaid. ^^

[LMNOPqrs97]

Awesome! Just Plain Awesome! Phantom at the end made me shiver! I actually knew most of those songs!

[ultimatebishoujo29]

where did u get the pics and the songs from?

[elphiethesane]

@ultimatebishoujo29 Well, I believe I put this in the video's description, but the pictures are from zerochan and (in one case, I believe) deviantart. And I bought all the songs on iTunes.

[darkangel160]

If you use Vietnam in the next one, you gotta use something from Miss Saigon :)

[elphiethesane]

@darkangel160 I actually have a song from Miss Saigon set for the next one, though not for Vietnam... I didn't even think of doing Vietnam yet, to be perfectly honest. XD

[hpwolf123]

FANTASTIC!!! This needs more views! ^^ The songs are all wonderfully fitting, especially America's, Italy's, and Prussia's. Although Germany's was obviously very depressing (it reminded me of the ends of both World Wars), it made me oddly happy, just because I love Les Mis so much. ;D PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ONE!

[elphiethesane]

@hpwolf123 Aw, thanks! That's actually exactly what I was going for with Germany's... And don't worry, I will! I just got to finish picking songs... ^^

[lacewinglml]

Too bad one can't put in edits...

But on the China, it wasn't so much that the song seems to 'fit' but that something in the lyrics just seem to Suit, Afterall with everything that's gone on in history. China is still here. One of the oldest countries on the world field.

[lacewinglml]

More spam.. LOL! well we can hope it gives you ideas! A Little Night Music  Oklahoma Spamalot My Fair Lady

LOL this inspires us to see about putting one together ourselves too, though I don't know if I have a program that will work on any of our computers....

How to succeed in business without really trying

[lacewinglml]

(we have a shared account with roomies here, so, so sorry if we spam you!) Japan= "the advantages of floating in the middle of the sea" from pacific overtures. Play list: Pacific Overtures Into the Woods Scarlet Pimpernel (the play sucks the music is awesome) Chicago Avenue Q Jekyll and Hyde City of Angels Crazy for You *hunting through our own broadway selection and looking to see if any songs sound like they would fit a country*

[elphiethesane]

@lacewinglml LOL, I don't mind, not at all! Thank you for all the ideas... I've checked a few of these before, but there's several I haven't checked at all... So thanks! Hopefully I can actually get me list done now... And LOL, about Canada being Mr. Cellophane... I actually thought of that after the fact! But I can't resist putting The Producers... He's definitely the Leo of my mental casting! ^^

[lacewinglml]

@elphiethesane yeah. The song you picked works well too, we just thought of some alternitives.. Of course anything from Wicket, there could be several songs there, but you seemed to be wanting new stuff and we heard one song from that one already.

[elphiethesane]

@lacewinglml LOL, well I don't really want alternates for the characters I've already done... But if you have anything for other characters, even from stuff I've already done, I'd welcome the suggestions! ^^

[lacewinglml]

@elphiethesane The only one we found that seems to siut China (that we can think of) seems to be "I'm still here" from Follies

[elphiethesane]

@lacewinglml Oh, an interesting one! I'll definitely consider it! ^^

[Spiderkumo42]

For Japan I'd recomend just about anything from Pacific Overtures, the musical is about Japan after all. But especially 'The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea'

[elphiethesane]

@Spiderkumo42 Oh, I've never even heard of that... I'll have to check it out! Thanks! ^^

[lacewinglml]

The Creation of Man (from the scarlet pimpernel) for france. LOL

[lacewinglml]

I think the song for Canada suits though I was almost expecting Mr. Cellophane...

[SugarBaby2414]

Germany's is beautiful and makes me wanna kill myself! D: I love it ^-^

[Penguinshippingirl]

lol I squealed when the Phantom started singing.

[micalikespie]

I was sort of expecting Romano to break out in swears in the middle of the song. Lol.

[elphiethesane]

@micalikespie LOL, now that you mention it... XD

[SugarBaby2414]

I love Rent, and Roger, and Prussia, it's amazing :D

[Loudheart14]

Dude, this is great! I absolutely love it! I can't wait till you get the second part up! Oh, and how do you get audio? Everytime I try, it doesn't let me...:(

[elphiethesane]

@Loudheart14 LOL, thanks! I'm glad you like it... Though I'm not sure what you mean by your question. Care to clarify? ^^

[Loudheart14]

@elphiethesane OMGE thanks for responding! And ignore my question, I figured it out! -yay for just pressing a button!- I dont wanna sound rude or anything, but when do you think you'll get the second part up?-hides- Sorry if i annoy you!

[elphiethesane]

@Loudheart14 LOL, no worries! I'm glad you figured it out... And I really don't know when the second part will be done. I really wanted to have ten songs just like this one, but I only have seven right now and I'm really stumped on more. I'd love to hear suggestions, though! It would be incredibly helpful... Even just plays you'd like to see would be nice! ^^

[paganwiccanlove]

i thouroughly enjoyed this. this suits their personalities to the T.

[elphiethesane]

@paganwiccanlove You know, I think that's the biggest compliment I could get. I tried really hard to make sure they all fit... Even though I don't have a good grip on some of them. ^^

[paganwiccanlove]

@elphiethesane but i have to say that Romano and Germany's themes made me almost cry. i almost wailed "POOR GERMANY!!! POOR ROMANO!!!!!"

[elphiethesane]

@paganwiccanlove LOL, those are sad songs. But I like it that way... Not everybody can have happy songs! Between those two and Russia, I think it balances out the more fun songs the others got. ^^

[paganwiccanlove]

@elphiethesane i agree. balance is everything

[KorukorukoruYonda]

Russia!!!!!

(spazzing out 'cause one of fave char. has a song from one of fave musicals...) ^^

[elphiethesane]

@KorukorukoruYonda LOL, POTO is one of my favorites too. ^^

[ZurlaTheRamonEater]

ohmigawdyoupickedwickedforital­yiamsofreakinglovingthatwillyo­umarryme?

[elphiethesane]

@ZurlaTheRamonEater Pfft, of course I did! It's one of my favorite musicals! Hell, there's another Wicked song in part two! At least, there will be once I finish the list...

[ZurlaTheRamonEater]

@elphiethesane ....!! :D

[elphiethesane]

@ZurlaTheRamonEater Of course, I still need three more people to finish my list... Any suggestions? XD

[ZurlaTheRamonEater]

@elphiethesane Depends, who are the people?

[elphiethesane]

@ZurlaTheRamonEater Basically anybody I haven't already got. Which is everybody in this first part, plus Spain, Liechtenstein, Finland, the Baltics, Poland, HRE/Chibitalia, and the Ancients. But I'm particularly looking for Japan and China... They're so HARD!

[SoWhyAgain]

Ha, first I was like, "WOAH, Romano's is so sappy!" But by the end I was like, "*snif* awwwww. *snif*" ....Bravo, you've just offically won the game.

[elphiethesane]

@SoWhyAgain *bows* Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. XD

LOL, I do agree with you. It's a little sappy... ^^;;

[elphiethesane]

LOL, I'm glad all of you like this! I'm working on coming up with a list of who to do in part two, but I could use suggestions. Particularly for Japan and China!

[wafflekitty14]

Italy: So cute and fitting!

Romano: Also very fitting.

Germany: ;_; This song makes me sad...

Prussia: OMG RENT! Awesome pick!

Austria: Very relaxing

America: XD Go America!

Canada: The Producers yaay!! Works for Canada.

England: This made me laugh. XD

France: He would do that wouldn't he? X3

Russia: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!! creepy and fitting for him.

[llwisher93]

OMFG! I LUV U! nice pick for Prussia :D RENT!

[insanegurl53]

I absolutely love you for creating this. I love Broadway so bad. My favorites were Prussia, Russia, and France.

"I....I just don't deserve you..."

"Who does?"

Omg, that is sooo France.

[elphiethesane]

@insanegurl53 Aw, thanks! So do I... I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been done before!

LOL, isn't it? I do like that pick... Plus I love that song. I love that whole musical, actually. ^^
