Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Is the song the finale?
Anime geemu wo shinasai!& I'm almost certain One Day More is the only crowd song that features all four main characters... Marius first sings in Look Down, and Cosette doesn't sing at all in the second act until Javert is already dead.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableThe Attack on the Rue Plumet?
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableAnd you'd be correct, Noaq, but not for this song. You'll feel like killing me in any number of horrible ways by the time it's revealed, though.
Nope.

Anime geemu wo shinasai!Nope. (That particular melody is only used once.)
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Actually, it is used three times.
1: Eponine's Errand:
Cosette! Now I remember!
Cosette! How can it be?
We were children together
Look what's become of me...
2: Attack on Rue Plumet:
Oh lord, somebody help me.
Dear God, what'll I do?
He'll think, this is an ambush.
He'll think, I'm in it too.
3: A Little Fall of Rain:
"Good God, what are you doing?
'Ponine, have you no fear?
Have you seen my beloved?
Why have you come back here?"

Anime geemu wo shinasai!Huh...I stand corrected. Although I was referring to the main melody (Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius / I don't feel any pain / A little fall of rain / Can hardly hurt me now...)
But no, it's still not it.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Valjean's Death
Anime geemu wo shinasai!That's generally included with the Finale, so no, that's not it.

Anime geemu wo shinasai!Is the melody used in the prologue?
Anime geemu wo shinasai!Does Thenardier sing in the song?
Anime geemu wo shinasai!Yes. (Sounds totally contradictory, I know. Getting confused yet?)

Is it a Crowd Song?
Does it feature Jean Valjean?
