完全に別格ですね



[osbourn15]

This is a Kamigata-mai piece called Kosu-no-to. I don't know if you could consider it Kabuki.

[SamaelSnakebites]

So beautifully preformed. I just cannot get enough of traditional Japanese dances.

[Shiori95chan]

Wow!! O never would say that was a guy!! Wow is so good dancer! perfect!! *o*

[GirlAlchemist]

I didn't know that was a guy. ._.

[pslogge]

Excellent video and perfectly presented. This dance makes me think of the continuity of stillness. Even the slightest movement is balanced and could be a marvellous photo. It is funny that the voice position of the singer is exactly the opposite of what is considered beautiful in the west. That is the shrieking, white and throat sounds, inadmissible by the rules set by opera for example.Yet beauty is splendidly revealed .

[crisbio28]

Absolutely exquisite!!!!, Tamasaburo is perfect....

[morinoroba]

隙の全くない美しい所作ですね！

感動しました☆☆☆☆☆ありがとうございます。

[severaloptions]

The depths behind this are staggering.

[bumbleb3426]

this looks more like Noh theatre rather than Kabuki to me...

[bumbleb3426]

this looks more like Noh theatre rather than kabuki to me.. but

[CaiteDesu]

@bumbleb3426 No... definitely kabuki... Noh is completely different from this... look it up (^_^)

[cain1974v2]

perfection

[darkyoda]

He's probably my favorite dancer. You're right though, Ahamayoisac, he is far more graceful than most women.

[ahamayoisac]

He is more graceful than most women. Honestly, this is just beyond perfection.

[song32290]

Its like a painting!

[ilichuu]

this is so Beautiful!

she looks like a doll ;)

[myRincon]

he looks like a doll

[pasa6370]

@myRincon

he??? Oh this person is Guy??

Wow!!!

[SuperDuckyWho]

@pasa6370 Most Kabuki players are men, including the female roles. Not sure why, jut tradition. Women used to also be in kabuki... then they weren't. *shrugs*

[jafar7523629]

i feel that i am in 3000 years back!

[MistressCortana]

Uhh, the rise of the courtesans was during the 1600's in Japan.

[impmonte]

Those stingy persons gave only 4 stars.

Even just only posted and uploaded still got waste times.

[3UL4L14]

I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life, I thought that it all was a moving painting. And if this is traditional kabuki and the courtesan was played by a male, he is the most fascinating looking man I have ever seen and more power to him.

[marileelee]

He is more beautiful than a real woman.

[shannara67]

yes she /he is a man, this kubuki ,women did not perform in public, only the geisha, and just like women in shakespeare's time they did not perform on stage, this is traditional play

[angelparfait]

Actually, the courtesans DID perform in public. The highest ranking were artists first, prostitutes second. Additionally, it was women who invented the dance form that became kabuki in the first place.

[randomv3iwer]

did you just say he!!??? that was a he!? I thought japanese culture is heavily male domenated: dancing for women, hard labor for men

[NikkiSavella]

then surely you were heavily mistaken...

[orastella]

He is so graceful... I am mesmerised by his dancing.

[Spongebobisaninja]

KABUKI IS aWESOME!

[beezoid27]

the narrator sounds like ewan mcgregor ;)

[xxliew]

The narrator is annoying. I hate those clipped consonants. Freaking irritating. I can't even enjoy the dance with music cause I'm watching it on mute cause his voice drives me crazy.

[naniwa]

Thank you so much!

What a delicate dancer Tamasaburo is!

[kniphofia]

Exquisite!

[savagesamurai]

is this available on DVD?

[idzit]

So beautiful!

[gitabobita]
