Lyrics can be found at www.sagimusume.com This is the trailer of an one-hour film shot in digital format in 2005. The goal is to make kabuki more accessible to the general public. Currently it is only shown in selected movie theaters across Japan. I hope they will one day show it overseas. See www.asahi.com for more information on this film.

I love this dance, it has a special meaning to me. I'm especially fond of anything to do with the pleasure quarters of old Japan. The art and culture that resulted from them fascinates me.
Also, the song is ... By: ArisolSpray. on 10 Mar 10, 04:15:30 Also, the song is taking part in the pleasure district. The reason why the obi is in the front is because, when a customer came it was easier to undo and redo the obi if it was tied in front.
she is a kind of ... By: jingwu42. on 03 Mar 10, 06:49:23 she is a kind of prostitute, only people of repute where the obi tied n the back,
The talking is good ... By: udon890. on 25 Feb 10, 22:35:24 The talking is good for people like me, who does not know the culture of Japanese and what the dancer is interpreting. But the talking is distracting for people who already understand the Japanese culture and arts. Right ??
@udon890 Don't be ... By: Zardoz215. on 25 Feb 10, 06:33:12 @udon890 Don't be too sure that is a lady though. Traditionally men play all the parts in Kabuki.
Please stop this ... By: rumpwrestler. on 23 Feb 10, 04:36:00 Please stop this narration.....it's quite beautiful without all the talking.
Thank you for your ... By: udon890. on 21 Feb 10, 19:30:08 Thank you for your explanation in English language. I like Japanese kimono and head pins. This lady does not have the dangling jewellery in in the headset. The bow is in the front ? Usually it is at the back.

@Jourell1 Would ... By: norsef. on 12 Feb 10, 00:50:42 @Jourell1 Would have prepared subtitles/captions.
Certainly speaking over the music in a Kabuki seems to defeat the whole point.

Geisha has nothing to do with kabuki except they are both a form of eintertaintment.

I haven't ever done Kabuki-style makeup before... thought it would be kind of fun! (and it was haha)... even if it didn't turn out *quite* as well as I had hoped. hahaha. I'll probably be making another vlog soon. Music is Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz and Don't Feel Right by The Roots. ~r

For the first section of the dance, see www.youtube.com Tamasaburo performed his signature dance "Sagi Musume (Heron Maiden)" at the Kabuki-za, Tokyo. This is the middle part of the dance, in which Tamasaburo portraited a machi musume (town girl).
