It's "Meiboku Sendai Hagi" and the lady in red is Masaoka who has just watched her little son Senmatsu die. Due to complicated circumstances she couldn't even show her feelings then, and only now when she is alone, she can give way to her grief.
youll have to get someone japanese thats into bunraku to translate that. they have subtitle screens on the sides of these puppet shows (live) because the speech is so oldskool.
thank you. this gave me a more accurate look at what this looks like for my project

I'm glad it helped. The world has such interesting cultures. It is good to be able to share knowledge of them in any way.

This is amazing. I saw this in my Art class at school today. I can't believe it's from 2002.

I know that this is probably going to come off as being insensitive, but it sounds like the puppet is busting out into "banraku-rap" style at 1:47

I don't know the singer's name but I believe that this was recorded in 2002 in Miyajima as part of a circumnavigation cruise around Japan.

I had no idea. So articulate. And I so lack, at the moment, the vocabulary to praise it. Must work this out.
