Where is the Justice

"Where is the Justice" is a song in Death Note: The Musical. The song is reprised three times, making it the most prominent song in the production.

Overview
The musical opens to a dark stage and the Overture, but "Where is the Justice?" is the first main song of the musical.

Light Yagami is in a high school classroom where his teacher is discussing the nature of justice. Light stands up with objections to his teacher's views, and he begins this song when the teacher asks him what he has to say on the matter. His classmates get involved in the song/discussion, bringing in different viewpoints about the problems with the justice system.

The song is reprised three times. In addition to beginning Act 1, it also ends Act 1 and begins Act 2. It reprises again after the second Kira appears. The reprises address the question "Where is the Justice?" with the first reprise answering that Light (Kira) and L are justice, according to each one's point of view. In the final reprise, civilians proclaim that Kira and the second Kira are justice.

English version
The song was originally written in English. The English demo was recorded in December 2014 and released April 23, 2015 in a video previewing the Korean production. The English demo that was released was shorter than the original version from the script, although a longer, complete version was recorded.

On June 22, 2017, Ivan Menchell released the first scene of his script on Twitter to celebrate the beginning of the 2017 Asian Tour. The four pages include the full English lyrics of the song, including the additional lyrics not in the demo song. On November 2, 2017, and November 10, 2017, Menchell released the English Reprise lyrics.

Note that on the second to last line, Kakizawa joins the ensemble to sing "Kira koso seigi" ("It is Kira who is justice") in his version, but Urai does not. Instead, Urai is still holding the last note from several lines above (from "I'll show you just what true justice is").
