Pretty rare to see a Kabuki-actor during his practive. A WONDERFUL video with a WONDERFUL performnace.

@Marionettenfan heh, thanks. Maybe I should put up the video where he puts on his makeup, telling us about every detail. I was hesitant about putting it up because he said that it's normally a personal and secretive tradition, but then again if he was willing to showcase it in front of a reasonably large group, maybe it's ok to put it online? What do you think?

@tokyocheesesteak That'd be great to see if the actor was okay with it.

@iastudent Check out my other videos. The makeup application procedure is already there

My school in the U.S. is doing a kabuki play so I decided to do some research and I came upon this. Very great job! I'm still trying to figure out how he moved in all of those clothes!!

Its a pity that girls laugh at 2:47-2:50 disturbed the performance a little!

Hi, I’m a student doing a research project about Japanese Kabuki Theatre and I saw the video you posted on youtube. I was just wondering if you know a lot about the Kabuki culture and are willing to answer a couple short interview questions.

too bad there wasn't at least special lighting or a backdrop to add to this wonderful performance.
