Mansai Nomura is actually a stage actor, the style of 'theatre'he's a part of is called Kyogen, literally "mad words" or "wild speech" very similar to Noh, but with a little more humor. The two types were the origins of Kabuki. Kyogen was considered to be a little too 'lewd' or 'ribald' for the 'classical' Kabuki actors, so Kyogen was perfomed by 'lesser' actors during the intermissions of the usual Kabuki performances. Playing female roles is standard in Classical Japanese theatre.
wow...been looking for this title on and off for almost seven years!!! I saw it the night I left for the military at 17 on amc. never caught the title, and it has been nagging at me since. now i'm settled with a family and decided to fully commit to figuring it out...looked up different periods in japanese history, than jideigeki films, than films set in yamato period...and now here i am...i am soooo happy.
At the top of a mountain, on a plain small grassy plateau, sitting on a small mat over the cold,wet grass near a few small flowers, looking at the horizon and the mountains afar, w/ a warm cup of green tea, I close my eyes, and hear my heart sing....this music.
@viejoolmo Could be that they didn't like the fact that it's a guy dancing in female clothing. Or they simply don't have taste in japanese literature/cultural events,etc.
Shigeru Umebayashi. I have just ran out of words to say about him. His talent and ear for music goes beyond anybody that I know. He is indeed one of the best I've listened to in my entire lifetime
This is one of my all time favorite dance sequences ever recorded because of Nomura Mansai's dancing (how he manages to get the robes to flow gracefully without getting tangled up in it is great to see), the music, and the beautifully shot cinematography. Thanks for uploading.
Japanese 'Noh' and 'Kabuki' actors traditionaly played the female roles as well (for reasons that would take too long to go into here)...but I find it amusing when Americans say such and reveal their homophobia that they might just find a man dressed as a woman slightly atractive..LOL!
Yes! Yes! Oh, hell yes! Seimei mansai *starts squealing* This is such a beautiful song and dance, especially song, and ....well, we all can't be please. I have been searching for the name of the song, yet, I can't find it. The best I can do is transpose it on the flute...YES *hops to transpose* Thank you for uploading!
I been trying to find this song had no luck, Instead someone mentioned its sung by rin, but when I looked it up it was sex shoots. Anyhow I will keep on searching if anyone finds please post, this is so beautiful!
Fabulous..I love tis movie..

Ah I get it:
At the top of a mountain, on a plain small grassy plateau, sitting on a small mat over the cold,wet grass near a few small flowers, looking at the horizon and the mountains afar, w/ a warm cup of green tea, I close my eyes, and hear my heart sing....this music.

yes, it takes a danceing goddess to open the rock gate to Heaven. So Abe No Seimei has to pretend to be the Goddess...

if a guy is sensitive enough to enjoy Noh and Kabuki, he'd better be prepared to see some attractive guys playing the female roles!
