All non-studio recorded renditions of “Boote in der Nacht” (夜のボート) from Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay’s “Elisabeth das Musical” (a.k.a. エリザベート) by Wao Youka (和央ようか) as Franz Joseph (AFAIK and as of writing). Elisabeth’s part is sung by Hanafusa Mari (花總まり) in the 1998 production and 2003 dinner show, and Ootori Rei (大鳥れい) in the 2021 Special Gala Concert.
Sorry about the 2021 Special Gala Concert footage – it really is that stretched out on the DVD, and the ending is cut off as the 1998 Anniversary version is available as a digest only.
