He's soooo cute~

[Kabutopuppy]

i'de hate to be the boy playing a girl XD

[ClipOriss]

@Kabutopuppy It´s Kabuki, so all are just guys, and the best role is the womans part, so it would be a good thing in here.

Not to compare qith a role like SnowWhite, Cinderela xDDD

[FJMLAM]

Fascinating- Such a great tradition-On another subject-does anyone know what this beautiful paino music is?

[Harleyquinn1164]

poor boy!!

[ardesfulful1]

おかま

[Jiyuu89]

Aw, poor kid!

[Oniwabanshugirl]

nyaa,  wakushuu kabuki? LOL

[Raemee1892]

first they put really white cream then a white powder so that the cream won't go.

[ingermarien]

Does someone know what they use to make their face so white?

[teamshintaichi]

@ingermarien it's called oshiroi

[ingermarien]

Thank you soo much! ^^

[teamshintaichi]

@ingermarien no problem. u can buy it on ebay from the shop called hannari-ya but it is really expensive and you use more than just the oshiroi for the full effect. first foundation for it. then foryour hands and legs you use liquid oshiroi which is different.

[nossino]

i've never understood why the top of their heads are blue...:S

will someone please enlighten me?

[teamshintaichi]

@nossino blue is to give the appearence of 5 o'clock shadow like as if after shaving their head

[ehlowrld]

Neat! Yes, traditionally kabuki actors are all men. If you ever get the chance to go- do it! You can understand even if the language is difficult, and its quite funny.

[betsytea]

they're all nervous. even the makeup artists' hands are all shaky

[vygco126301]

OMG!

[darkjapanesegirl18]

this a kabuki play, these kids are young kabuki actors, many of them are born into this profession, think of bando tamasaburo and taichi saotome

[ModernBrandon]

this girl looks far too young to be a real geisha... :(

[SundaraKapasalathi]

This is a boy, I think, actually, and this is kabuki, not a geisha.

[yukinamadeth09]

pauvres gosses...

ya un mec canon en rouge vers 3MN34. derriere^^

[booortkj]

what kind of make up is it please answer XD

[bylinawaltz]

Kabuki

[DogyKane]

poor little thing...

[irresistablyattached]

aww...

the little kid from 2:00 is so cute..

[KarminaBurana]

I thin the kids are a little high... by the make up I guess? They look dizzy

[SuzuMiyastrawberii]

aww!

[shuyi14]

omfg...

[smiley8Dface]

that stuff probobly dries up after a while and starts flaking.poor kids they look sad.i wonder if that stuff is good for your skin,or if you have to wash your face twice to help the skin return back to normal.

[KatiesOnFire]

hah yeah, I'm not sure if they did here but they usually put on a layer of wax to block the pores, making the skin protected, but I bet it was a pain to get rid of!!

[ashlaree]

The quality makeup they use is more along the lines of foundation than paint, so it doesn't flake. ;-p That's also why they use the round pad to pat it down and wipe away any excess, to ensure that it's just enough to keep the pure white color, but not so much that it gets ugly; they want to keep a porcelain look. And I'm sure it would take a good amount of cleaning, but being in theatre once, it doesn't take that much more than usual to remove this make-up, as it's usually water-soluble. :)

[zicevrei]

poor kids....

[misue2]

to us it looks strange but its the norm for them .maby for them seeing our celebrities performing in very lil make is strange.

[AnimeIdiot19]

i find that seriously offensive. Japanese parents would not put their kids through this unless the children wanted this more than anything. so shut up about pitying these kids. They wanted this and i bet they enjoy it!

[MiscreantK]

Wow.. those Japanese kids are so well-behaved!! I love their make-up..

[LifeisaGlitch]

"well-behaved"? You must not listen to any Japanese rock...

[KatiesOnFire]

I think they meant those kids in particular :') I'm sure those 10 year olds aren't in a rock band. x'D

[porcelainphantasm]

This guy is a brutal makeup master.

[Kabutopuppy]

@porcelainphantasm I know he's like slappin the kid XD how cruel D:

[KatiesOnFire]

The white used to be lead based, until they found it killed you ^^ haha. and its not true its bird poo, that was what some geisha did a long while ago. Now it is RICE POWER and water, making the paste.

:]

[LifeisaGlitch]

Dried nightingale leavings (at least I think it's nightingale) can be used as a skin lightener, though.

[KatiesOnFire]

It used to, thats what I said, now they use rice powder as its cheap and effective.

:]

[SexySarahBear]

I bet a while back that white powder was filled with lead :I

[sbudfisbhdf]

hey kernel32 could you please tell me what music is playing in the background?

[careloon]

what is made of white??? please can you help me?

[Oshidorinohina]

they are so cuuute!! the makeup is a pain especially if sum1 else is doing it you get kinda scared that they will blotch your eye or something

[shishie4811]

its amazing to think that Tamasaburo started like this ! It would be awesome if they became the next tamasaburo.

[EscapeSociety]

The application looks painful.

[TheNejiLOVER]

Woah!

Thats amazing!

[cheng1LA]

The kid made up as hime (princess) is so cute! These are very fortunate kids, as they got the chance to be involved in the art of Kabuki.

[sly471]

the kids luk sad i dont think they want 2 do it

[alestane]

I think it's more likely they're a bit awed/scared because they are thinking of the play they will have to act just after. I'm sure if I were in their place, I would not worry at all about the make-up, much more about remembering my lines...

[brownbabypoo]

so cute!!!

[proanglernick]

is this required?

[nightsense]

ay kıyamam ben bunlara yaa :( ufacık çocuklar resmen işkence yani...

[heartsanddaggers102]

[osbourn15]

[ArtGal216]

Oh sweet lord that stuff is probly a compleat pain to get off and there skin probly looks like shit afterwards. oh well the final result is amazing

[purrpleumbrella]
