Saturday was a treat!

Just to round out the week with the rakugo show . . . Today was a hospital scene, with Kiyomi doing a bit of improv rakugo based on her uncle's antics, PLUS a final lesson for the students in the practice room at home, with the teacher doing the Sites of Hell.

Finish up with flash highlights from upcoming episodes, all teasing at what will happen next.

Very cool. And now I wanta know what's going to happen next:-)

NHK does some impressive things

We just caught part of what I think was an experimental sort of piece. A mix of music, setting, and playing with viewing and auditory POV?
( The nitty grits . . . )

Quite unusual, and very pretty. I shudder to think of the logistics involved in setting up such a performance, and of course you can't really tell what it is like until you put all the parts together - so it more like a movie than a live performance, but still . . . Nice.
