I'd guess from ... By: rumpwrestler. on 17 Jan 10, 17:38:52 I'd guess from having seen so much Noh in Japan that this really is a student. The foot work is unbalanced and at times rather sloppy. But what a brilliant art form. MY favorite form of theater anywhere on this planet....

Is this music got a ... By: AlanMolstad. on 12 Jan 09, 15:38:04 Is this music got a beat that japanese understand?
Would a japanese person watch and know what the staps were?
Are the steps recorded and always the same?
I also have many questions about the music of traditional Japan...I dont understand what to listen for..
your guess is as ... By: kystelnacht. on 12 Jan 09, 15:32:31 your guess is as good as mine. we never really had it explained to us in English only in Japanese, which for anyone who's studied the language old Japanese men can be REALLY hard to understand most of the time.
I do know the song being sung is a congratulation/celebration song. The teacher said it was the kind of performance that would get done at a wedding etc.
I would like you to ... By: AlanMolstad. on 12 Jan 09, 04:55:23 I would like you to tell me what this is all about.
I want to understand, I want to understand what we are looking at here.
Hey man, if you ... By: iria20. on 04 Sep 08, 15:16:53 Hey man, if you gave it your best, its cool. I don't really get this sort of thing myself, so I really couldn't do much better. Never the less thumbs up dude!
Yes, I quickly ... By: Qcumber. on 31 Jul 08, 22:54:38 Yes, I quickly noticed you were not wearing white tabi, so I thought it was a joke or a talentless parody. Sorry. I didn't know it was for fun.

and it was just an experience, getting to dress up in the clothes, wear the horribly claustrophobic masks, hear the music being sung, and try the dance moves out for size.
Afterwards we had the head teacher show us how it was really done.
but if you want an idea of how 'serious' we took it, just look for the stripey socks/jeans underneath that costume.
just take it for what it was - fun, and an attempt at something new.
Sorry. No, I ... By: Qcumber. on 31 Jul 08, 11:29:21 Sorry. No, I couldn't. Nobody could. It takes a long time to master the steps, the head and body poise, ... the kata, etc. Why on earth do they make people make fools of themselves by doing this without being properly trained? On the other hand, if it made you happy, only this counts.
umm ... no ... it ... By: kystelnacht. on 31 Jul 08, 10:34:40 umm ... no ... it wasnt a joke.
It was the final assignment for a Japanese culture course.
Shall we see you do better after two, one and a half hour lessons? Whilst they try and teach 8 other students as well? All in thick male Japanese accents?
Of course, it's a ... By: Qcumber. on 29 Jul 08, 19:28:17 Of course, it's a joke. None of the movements is correct. How can people applaud such a bad performance?
