As for Stage play, you know, many different actors or actresses move around on the stage, but you see only me in my Rakugo, nobody else, but only me.
Actors or actress do makeup, and wear beautiful costumes.
But in Rakugo, I never do makeup and never wear costume.
Also, in Rakugo there is no scenery background.
It looks I have nothing.
But I have one thing, important thing.
It's your imagination.
Your imagination makes scenery background.
So please help me with your imagination to make my wonderful Rakugo world.
OK?
When I say hey you look, what a beautiful mountain. Is it Mt. Fuji?
Then, you imagine there is Mt. Fuji over there.
Your imagination!
OK?
What are you doing there? you! you!
When I say that, you must imagine another person here OK?
Another person, OK?
Also, be careful!
As I told you there is only me in Rakugo.
Now I am character A, and he is character B.
But the next moment, I am character B, and he is character A.
2 persons change quickly.
OK? OK?
