[95m26]

Superb!!

[CandyCandy2923]

Muy Hermoso :)

[305missbunny]

I do not know much about Japaneese culture, what I do know is that I love it's traditions. I'm from Nicaragua central america and we have traditions too, but none like this! It's beautiful, it catches my attention almost if I wish I were from Japan. The women are beautiful and the men no questions asked. How I wish I were back in ancient civilization. Except for the killings, lol

[andalusian247]

Japanese kabuki portraying a Chinese story.....confusing to some people =) thats why i post this

[toBe8ere]

also, i love whoever you have doing the voice over. i love kabuki costume, make-up and performance but its hard to understand the storyline when i don't know whats been said. i can speak and understand Japanese, im even Japanese myself, well Japanese-American, but i never really thought that the singing was the narration. i always thought it was the accompanying musical piece. so thank you because now i can truly enjoy kabuki. <3

[toBe8ere]

i luv all of the videos i have seen of yours so far and because of you now i know one of many, if not the best, of all kabuki performers...i was originally looking for videos on the new form of nihonbuyo but i saw this beautiful image and had to check out the video and now here i am.

[johnnythao]

The outfit looks very Chinese, even the makeup as well. I guess that's because allot of Japanese traditional outfits and performance arts are influenced from the Chinese.

[NajisaSeshiro]

音楽は美しすぎて真に感動したんです。このYohikiってサウ­ンドトラックがあるかな？あったらアルバムの名前のこと　誰か知っているの？幾らでも手に入れたいので

[einaf639]

So is this a modern Kabuki work?

[Idnarmadur]

This is too beautiful for words... no YouTube comment can convey my feelings right now.

[albertbeccu]

@Idnarmadur I completely agree. The poetic grandeur is so beautiful in this specific part that I'm lost for words as well.

[mikawa1205]

看水袖就知道有下不少工夫。

[csiandactingismoi]

beautiful.

[beercaked]

it's interesting how similar the costumes are to beijing opera!

[marley1993]

@beercaked thats because this dance is based on chinese history

[MichaelSmithMichael]

此曲只應天上有！人間哪得幾回聞？

[ptical2000]

真美..就像一尊活的藝術品..

[rykkye]

天長地久有時盡，此恨綿綿無絕期。

[ninayang6666]

歌舞伎、京劇、梅蘭芳,,藝術本該是廣泛的,,是經過思考而表達­出來的,,歌劇可以演出杜蘭朵、蝴蝶夫人,,又何妨讓玉三郎演個­回眸一笑的太真玉人呢,,,,,

再說日本藝人表演的精準度真是相當驚人啊~每個動作都講究水平、­垂直、對稱、行雲流水的如同文字一般。

[Fishroads]

why is a chinese story so popular in japanese literature? and whats yokihi means in english?

[damekirilover]

Yokihi means "concubine Yang". Yu-Huan Yang, a extream beauty from the Tang dynasty of Chinese history, has a similar destiny like Egypt's Cleopetra..........

[colquitt2010]

During the first 1000 B.C. Japan imported allot of culture from the mainland of China. And Yokihi is the Japanese pronunciation of Yang Kwei fei- family name is Yang, and "fei" at the end is a suffix meaning consort of princess.

[slok2002]

yokihi is the mimick of "yang gui fei" in chinese. Yang is her lastname. "Gui Fei" is the highest ranked concubine of the emperor in ancient China.

[SIm2onzxw]

舞臺和舞美真是美輪美奐。把中國的這一段故事從另一個角度來闡釋­。謝謝。

[AmandaTAIPEI]

很怪異的感覺~  楊貴妃死後的鬼魂嗎?hahaha

[chenyun01]

楊貴妃 美人

[emptyna]

这是什么玩儿．．．．不伦不类．．

[oolight]

這是日本歌劇，根據中國故事改變的但不是中國戲劇，不懂沒關係，­不要亂批。謝謝。

[iysum]

这是中国故事改编的日本歌舞伎，日本是没有歌劇的。日本傳統藝術­：能，凈玻璃，歌舞伎，都把唱、和舞蹈演劇分開。他們的傳統是聞­歌起舞，不像中國歌劇傳統是且歌且舞。

[mikawa1205]

是淨琉璃，淨琉璃是人偶劇。

[oolight]

这是中国故事改编的日本歌剧，不是中国戏曲。不懂没关系，不要乱­批，谢谢。

[mikawa1205]

這是人家向中國文化致敬的證據。

我們卻連人家的歌舞伎來源都不甚了解。

舊天朝腐敗思想。

[TemLo5425]

fantastic! especially the way it ends!

[ebangha]

i got chills

[Hokayshenao]

I believe there are still many aspects of Chinese opera that should be explored... Ta

god bless nippon

[ebangha]

Amen to that!

[jhordan77]

marvelous performance!!!!

[bushangels]

the poem is from Chinese Tang Dynasty. truly beautiful.

[patatevitale]

Beautiful, I simply love it !

[birdonet]

¡¡¡¡ love !!!

[MichaelSmithMichael]

长恨歌----  白居易

[Dontbesocnn]

This is a fusion of Chinese and Japanese theaters. The story is derived from an ancient Chinese poem in the Tang Dynasty, depicting the love between an emperor and his concubine, separated by the boundary between this world and the next world.

[DragnGo]

is this japanese or chinese? i was searchin chinese opera when i got this

[Bluemango123]

I love how he just casually placed the fans into the Priest's costume...so smooth, so graceful. It's absolutely mesmerizing.

[kzatolochnaya]

Прекрасный танец! Спасибо!

[strominheaven]

為何楊貴妃穿胡服?

[weishuyang]

不是胡服，是明代妇女服装，穿唐代服装会更好些。不过唐代妇女貌­似很喜欢穿胡服——回鹘装。

[sinonora]

坂东穿明朝服装大约是为了区别和服，毕竟和服是唐服演化而来的，­另外这出大约是追随京剧或者昆曲，这两剧种都是用的明制服装，坂­东个人还扮过昆曲杜丽娘，大约他喜欢昆曲吧

[iysum]

這個是坂東在1987年，跟梅葆玖（梅蘭芳的兒子）學了京剧貴妃­醉酒身段以后根據京剧貴妃醉酒改編的，坂東玉三郎 「楊貴妃」 part 1開始時介紹了。中國昆曲和這個沒有關系。

[mikawa1205]

明服是因為他向中國的傳統戲曲取經，

而中國傳統戲曲向來無論時空在哪裡，

一率都是明代衣冠。

[SHIDANSTAN]

。歌词听不懂，恍看着像是牡丹亭，或是西厢记什么的，

舞者外形不详是「楊貴妃」。「楊貴妃」的衣服颜色鲜艳的多，头戴­金步摇

[abax64]

I just can't stop watching him.

Everytime I discover the pleasure of beauty,

delicacy and the sophistication of the traditional japanese culture. Bravo!!

[alpinamarmota]

Tamasaburo is my eternal love.

He is a beauty for ever.

From ancient Japan until ancient China we can travel with Tamasaburo to the world of dream...

[Wanli07]

I can't agree with you more. Tamasaburo is a paragon of Art.

[anariel2000]

He's so graceful!

[sushiko18]

彼はとてもエレガントで、上品です！

[reverdie]

beautiful!

[sleeplessintokyo]

thanks for posting this..

[Wanli07]

This unique performance is based on the famous Tang dynasty poem 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' by Bai Juyi, illustrating many of the key themes of the 7th century lyrics. A truly original and beautiful new fusion of Kabuki and Peking Opera by one of the great performing artists of our times.

[zeldagamer2123]

does someone know the name of the music of this dance ?

[tiffenakou]

the music was written specifically for the dance. There is no name to it. Do you want to know the name of the composer instead?

[zeldagamer2123]

sorry for the late answer but please tell me the name of the composer.

[tiffenakou]

lyrics: 夢枕獏

music: 唯是震一

[furanpyon]

@tiffenakou it's amazing! so Yumemakura Baku did also this?? *O*

[furanpyon]

@tiffenakou it's amazing! so Yumemakura Baku did also this?? *O*

[JPandCo]

first time i like something due 2 chinese opera.... no shouts!!! thnxx tamasaburo is amazing but i prefer 100% japanese kabuki

[octogirlie]

Outstanding.

[Furzkopf888]

that's the best kabuki-music I heard ever

[xxxxenon5]

Lol,i was like "wow the headdress looks like chinese opera" and then i read the description.

Are the clothes authenticly chinese-looking?

[daedalic]

Well, as far as chinese clothings go. What he is wearing IS authentic chinese opera style clothes. (But of course chinese opera clothings are a bit different from authentic ancient chinese clothings... )

[renesussmayr]

It's nice but I prefer to Chinese opera.:D

Its music is much more acceptable for a person like me having once participating in the opera.

[chrisros123]

Tamasaburo looks so pretty as a chinese girl!!! he is awesome!

[moremusicale]

This is the performance of truly master!

Thank you for sharing!

[Obbyto]

Fanscinating. I'm surprised the Japanese dance makeup used is similiar to those used in Chinese opera.

[socalazn168]

Read the description of the video and it explains that the kabuki was based on a Chinese princese. That's why they dress with Chinese style make-up and costume.

[derithyll]

concubine, not princess.

"That's why they dress with Chinese style make-up and costume"

i think he chose the opera costume instead of dance costume because wearing the dance costume would have made it very clear he's not a woman

[phaedra108]

this was amazing and beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye...

[Wulfwaru]

He's amazing! And so beautiful.

[sadamitsu]

amazing... i have finally been able to see tamasaburo dance...XD
