As far as I know, there are no fansubs for these plays.(ーー;)
Basically this ''Hamlet'' is fidelity to the original one, so I think I can manage to
creare subtitles according to Shakespeare's script, but I'm also afraid that my behavior may not meet stage director's view because this is Japanese performing art played in Japan. Therefore I'm really helpless against this problem, forgive me
@DragonArrow2010 You've helped a lot by telling me it's faithful to the play (though I have to wonder about the musical number!). I have taught Shakespeare to native speakers of English and even they struggle with it because the culture has changed in five hundred years! I may sit down with the play and your videos and see what I can figure out. Even though I don't speak Japanese and have only a little knowledge of the culture, I have a a chance.
@DragonArrow2010 One scene is clearly different. "To be or not to be" is a dialogue here instead of a monologue. What is the older man saying?

I realize it's vaguely silly to ask for subtitles on *Hamlet*, but I understand the director has taken some liberties with the source material.
Any idea where I could get subs for this? Fansubs?
