@佐藤謙二 regaurdless the idea ,fruit don't fall far from the tree , they never had a orchard on the a mountain wall those ppl beleave fruit don't fall close to the tree it was crazy!
I see many people who are interested in Rakugo after watching "Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu", I recommend a Japanese drama called " tiger and dragon" , it also revolves around rakugo, and it's pretty funny, it was actually the reason I picked up the anime, because I already had an interest in rakugo after watching the drama years ago.
siv yig Wait wait wait.....Thats not the name of the drama.Maybe it is I don't know.I just said toradora bcus there's an anime named that(which is one of my fav. btw).Toradora literally means tiger and dragon.I thought you were joking and wanted to know the japanese title bcus u knew about toradora.But it seems u didnt know.So.....sorry for the inconvenience u might have had bcus of me.
I just found this awesome perfomance because I began watching the anime 'Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu' and was curious about real life rakugo. And I must say this performance is so incredible, its unbelievable how this is an dying art. Anime can never show how great this is, but I'm glad they are trying to promote rakugo that way. I'm totally hooked and hope I will find more rakugo perfomances in englisch or at least translated so I can enjoy more.
+Pluanda Dude, me too! I love that the anime is making younger people aware of the existence of Rakugo, hopefully it goes a long way to keeping it alive.
Early in the story: is this the plot of polar bear cafe? few minutes in: this is the plot of ploar bear cafe 9:50 - this is not the plot of polar bear cafe...
Wow its so weird, i just listened to the selling out podcast and then i randomly searched for "rakugo" in youtube just to find this comment as the top comment
昔、英語の落語を聞いたので、この動画に至りました。このような落語家の活躍で、日本の話芸が世界中に広まってくれると嬉しいです。 I hope that Rakugo funny story telling becomes more popular all over the world thanks to such young energetic tellers.
Started reading Akane-banashi and have been amazed by the culture surrounding these stories. Thank you for offering an english version as well for those who would have no idea what it is otherwise!
Same, I came here because of Akane-Banashi and wondered if there was anyone else. I still believe though, from what I understand of the art form, that it wasn't just a repeat of existing stories, but stories made up by the performer.
Oh wow, this is neat. I discovered Rakugo after playing a video game series called Ace Attorney. In the game, you take the roll of a defense attorney in various homicide cases, and a Rakugo theater just happens to be the scene of a crime for one of the later cases. I got curious as to what it is and looked it up. This is quite entertaining!
It's so pleasant to see this amazing artform is still alive and well today. Perhaps Japanese traditionalists would not approve, but I think having it performed in English and around the world can only benefit the art. It brings tears to my eyes to see that it's doing well (or at least as well as possible). Wonderful performance, also, very engrossing and enjoyable ( and funny, of course, Mr. Hasegawa!)
Damn, I was just reading about the various forms of classical Japanese art and storytelling, and I thought to myself that it was too bad that I would likely never be able to appreciate or even understand the feel of a rakugo, since I don't speak Japanese. Then, I found this. Thanks!
I had the honor of getting a presentation about the basics of rakugo by Oshima-sensei today. She is such a sweet and beautiful person and I'm sad I didn't get to see her perform, which is why I'm so happy this video is on here ^^. Still super stoked I got to see Sanyuutei Ryuraku sensei.
I have to give you both my congratulations and throw at you all the envy I can! I cannot think of any better privilege in this day and age. I'm very happy for you and wish to all the gods I could have been next to you!
英語の授業で見て初めて知りました。 英語でも日本の落語の面白さが伝わっていてすごいと思いました！ I learned it for the first time in English class. I thought that the entertainment of Japanese rakugo is transmitted in English and it is amazing!
I actually got here from a Joshiraku video, but I also love Rakugo, and is lucky enough to be able to appreciate it in original Japanese. It's such a lovely art, storytelling at its finest. The more dramatic stories are an amazng experience to watch - you completely forget the storyteller, and the story and characters come to life.
I'm glad things like Joshiraku exist that bring so many things about Japanese culture like this that the rest of us don't really know about to our attention. I enjoyed this.
Although, one of the jokes in Joshiraku is they never actually do Rakugo during the run time of the episodes besides a few out of context scenes on that stage.
I love the English version, and Ms. Kimie speaks in perfect English. There is ANA (All Nippon Airlines)-sponsored Rakugo in the Philippines. Hopefully I can visit in the Yose. (Jan 26, 2019 at 4F RCBC Plaza, Makati City, Metro Manila), and hopefully the entrance is free.
6 years ago, people watched this because of a rakugo anime called "Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu". Today, i am watching this because of another rakugo anime called "Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai". And so the cycle continues, can't wait for the next rakugo anime, i've started to fall in love with this awesome performance art and can't wait to see what more rakugo anime there'll be in the future to further promote the art. Oh, and awesome performance, her english accent was so goddamn good. Japanese culture is a lot more than just anime and cat girls, but goddamn it do they help us discover the other hidden parts of it. I love it.
"I got here from my research on Japanese arts!" "I got here from ace Attorney!" Bro,,, I got here from a voiceline from let it die,, apparently uncle death likes these. Interesting.
There's so much lost in translation >< I loved Oshima's rendition of this classic, but the puns just don't translate well. Her version in japanese is amazing as well, I had the luck to see her live a few years ago. If it's available on youtube, it's 100% worth the watch
I'm fascinated by this! 👍She performed and expressed the essence of Rakugo in English so well!! Amazing! It's inspiring!! I wish I could have a group or club where I could practice it together near me... Amazing!! 😄👍 Great job!!
Midori Gurin 3 日前 I also came here just today. I am a Japanese so I understand Rakugo, but I was thinking it is difficult to understand for foreigner. But she did it. Wow it is so wonderful!!!
Rakugo is best enjoyed without food, especially Ramen noodles... Here I am, watching this on You Tube, with a bowl of rice noodles. I had to pause so I can finish eating, all this cause of the opening joke she made... Almost tipped the bowl laughing!
Oh, I loved this performance so-so much! It's fascinating how she was able to tell this hilarious story with only a few props & by only sitting down. (I feel bad that some kids called her stupid or didn't understand the performance. What can ya do, though?)
That's amazing and really funny. I think It is used for leaning English, right? I'd like to introduce it to my students in Japan, who learn English at the school.
