"I'm watching from this actor's performance show performance," do you want to be proud of 10 or 20 years later?
The first performance of the students of the Children's Kabuki School Terakoya, who continue to practice at the Kabukiza Theater, will be held on March 10 (Matsu course students) and 24 (Junior high school section). This time, I was interviewed about the lesson. We will introduce the passionate rehearsal scenery in two parts for the first performance.
There are many kyogen dances that play an important role in Kabuki, such as Chimatsu and Chiyo Tsuru of the predecessor Hagi, Taroyoshi of the real story, Miyoshi of Shigeno Iko Farewell, and Terakoya, which is also the name of this school. Do you know what kind of children are appearing in this child role? When asked to the person in charge, he said, "Not only the relatives and room children of actors, but also students of children's Kabuki School Terakoya, those who belong to children's theater companies, and others who introduce them."
"Kids Kabuki School Terakoya" opened in 2014 and teaches the basics from the basics, focusing on the skills necessary for Kabuki children, such as Japanese manners, Kabuki's unique vocalization, gestures, and acting. Recruitment is "Plum Course" for about 10 people each for "Kakigumi" from 4 to 6 years old and "Moegigumi" from 1st to 4th graders. It's a narrow gate. Applicants can go ahead with the "Bamboo Course" and "Pine Course" and learn in earnest in the junior high school section.
For the first time, I will introduce you to the Momotaro "Hyakumokagari" on March 10th, and the children of the pine course from the second grade to the fifth grade of elementary school. This is an original dance play that was newly created for this performance after Momotaro defeated the demon. The script is a luxurious version of Kazuhisa Tobe, director / choreography / Kanjuro Fujima, composition / Mitaro Kineya, Sakucho / Denzaemon Tanaka, etc., and a luxurious performance.
When you visit the training hall, you will greet the children and me on the tour in front of the fan in front of you! I'm sorry. The lesson has begun. "In addition, I am the Momotaro's loyal lord, the dog's loyal lord, Shiro-daira, the dog's loyal," and Shiro-daira's proud arm of a dog with a white arms ..." Practice the vocalization of "the guy" many times according to the instructor's guidance. The long lines were not stagnant, the surroundings and sights were decided, and they entered the hall. It's so good as "It's OK tomorrow!" I was convinced that among the students of the "Pine Course", the children who were selected after the audition. It seems that many of the performers are already on the stage of this performance. I'm looking forward to it.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. During the New Year holidays, I went to Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city in Chuo-ku. When it comes to Higashine City, it's still "snow" and "cherries"! This time, focusing on the two, we will introduce the exchange between Chuo-ku and Higashine City.
The opportunity for the exchange between these two cities goes back to 1988. Higashine City learned that the city is promoting greening at a cherry exhibition held in Chuo-ku. On June 14, we donated a cherry Wakagi with red fruits.
On the day of the event, in the fine weather, with the attendance of many mayors including Mayor Yada and Mayor Nasu Higashine, representatives of the ward assembly, cherry daughter (Mis Higashine), local town council officials, and children from Kyobashi Kindergarten attended. A tree-planting ceremony was held at Kameibashi Park (on the west highway of the ward office), and after the ceremony, the cherry daughter handed freshly picked cherries to children and those who were watching the tree planting. You can see the situation at that time on the YouTube channel of Chuo-ku government office.
(16 minutes and 56 seconds-: The state of the "Cherry Donation Ceremony" at Kameibashi Park is recorded.)
Higashine City donated 15 cherry trees. To thank you, in 1989, we gave 25 willows, including a willow that was 6m long on the sidewalk of Ginza 2-chome in Chuo-ku.
There are now six willows in Ginza in front of the city hall government building at Higashine City Hall and 13 in the adjacent "Citizen's Square".
(The willows in Ginza seen in the shadow also have a taste.)
Here's one of them! In winter, even in Higashine City, where there is always snow, it grew robustly.
If you look at the base, you will find a monument buried in snow! It is engraved with "Ginza's willow Government Building Completion Commemorative Tree Planting Donation" August 18, 1989, Chuo-ku, Tokyo". Over 30 years in Higashine City...Even if you leave your hometown, if you look at the cheerful willow in Ginza, you will get mysterious and energetic.
I want to go to see you again when you have lush leaves and cool in the wind.
Also, as you can see from the photos, there is quite a lot of snow in Higashine City. Chuo-ku does not have much connection with snow, but once every two years snow is carried from Higashine City. "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" is being held.
Mayor Higashine's New Year's message states, "At the Chuo-ku Snow Festival held in February this year, along with the gift of 200 tons of snow, the taste of the city's winter, such as potato boiled and tamakonjac. I will prepare it. " I'm very excited from now on. In 1989, when the exchange through this snow began, the Nihonbashi Snow Festival was held as a gift for 10 heavy-duty trucks. It is said that about 1,300 children gathered. Therefore, isn't the "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" a winter event that can not be overlooked especially for those with children?
And in June, the annual “Cherry Seed Flying Tournament” was also held. I think that the characteristics and goodness of Higashine City have deepened exchanges and have become known to more people. .
In addition, special products of Higashine City may be sold at events held in Chuo-ku. I can't keep an eye on the exchange with Higashine City again this year.
Why don't you visit Higashine City, which can be enjoyed both in the snowy season and in the cherry season?

For three days from December 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday), the annual `` Yagenbori no Narimachi, Ode-koichi '' was held in the neighborhood of Yagenbori Fudoin in Higashinihombashi. It was crowded with many people.
This is a performance at Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senoshachu.
This is the second time in three parts.
On the 26th of the first day, Ogoma is fired twice at 13:00 and 17:00 because Ogoma is fired in between.
On the 27th and 28th, there are three performances at 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00, one time is about 45 minutes.
We interviewed the first event on the 26th of the first day.
I was taken care of by Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senosha, Maruichi Seno and the 13th Iemoto.
The image shows the flag of "Edo Dai-Kagura". The following "" is the word of Iemoto.
"(I'll play here in Yagenbori) for 15 years, every year."
This is the second part of the performance of the day.
(Iemoto, I use a microphone.)
"Soon Yagenbori Fudoin, there is a performance of Edo Dai-Kagura going down the stairs.
For three days from today, Toshinoichi sells a lot of things, so please enjoy the Edo Dai-Kagura, which has a 400-year tradition while shopping.
The flute on the left is Senwaka, the drum is Kasen, the drum is Senkichi on the left is Senkichi, the right is Sentora, and the right is Iemoto with a microphone.
"Let's hear from the festival music of Edo Dai-Kagura, which has become an annual event.
First of all, it is called a stall, and it is a stall music that hits step by step.
Following this festival music, driving stalls, Shoden, Kamakura, 4-chome (Shichome), we will enter the stalls again. ]
"Festival music changes from a stall to a quiet song, a song called Seiten. ・・・』
"Obayashi is a song called Kamakura, another quiet song from Holy Ten."
"From Kamakura, it will change to 4-chome, a song with a tempo of the festival music.
In this song called 4-chome, there is a joint between shimedaiko.
From here, each other's taiko drum and tapping have changed.'
"The festival music we are enjoying, the last song, the lifting stall. ・・・』
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
"Yes, thank you.
The old city, Edo Dai-Kagura, started today and rushed to cheer. First of all, I heard the festival music.
This time, let's watch the lion dance and throw away all the bad luck of this year in order to drop everyone's trouble.
Kotobuki lion dance begins.
Since the shamisen enters and I haven't decided who will do what, who will hit the drum, who will blow the flute, what will do?'
(It is interesting to send and interact with Iemoto and the performers.)
(Iemoto is nominated) Grandpa, I don't do it because my hands don't move. I'll do it if there are more customers. It's a lie. You can really do anything. I'm a family member.
"... In the Edo period, the Shogun, the lion dance that only did the daimyo residence, and still in Nihonbashi, the New Year's Day is doing Kadotsuki.
Let's take a look at the lion dance first. ・It's Kotobuki lion dance.
(Here, Sentora-san, the head of the tree [Kigashira: the sound of hitting at the beginning of the clap] is weak, and strikes "Kin" again. Rosmari received it as "directing". Sentora, I also make mistakes in acrobatics. It's like "boke" in comics, and I'm very good. )
"I'm going to see you. It really makes me laugh. ・I've been there for 15 years, that's it. ・・・』
"Celebration-thirth-, good--"
The lion is Senma, and the shamisen is Senkichi, who was hitting a taiko earlier.
Please look from left to right. In addition, all images can be enlarged by clicking.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
"... Let's take a look at the acrobatics here.
There are wonderful acrobatics in Japan as well. Who will do that acrobatics today? 3, oh, 3.
・・Do you remember? At the end of the 20th century, there were people who built two houses in this acrobatics.
On TV, "Congratulations!" That's amazing, they're two million when the highest galaxies are. That's 20 minutes. A house is also built. But don't worry. Today, I got 20 million from Yagenbori fudoson Toshinoichi Preservation Society. (Lie, Sentora-san) Let's go, familiar acrobatics. The reason why it stands out is that the umbrella itself spreads out and stands out. And I turn it on the umbrella. ・・ ・ First, turn the cone (mari) to fit the home round. ・・・』
From the left, Senma-san, Kasen-san and Sentora-san are lined up.
"Well, today we will communicate with our customers and what to do, so we will take the cone we have done this time to our customers, so please let them go to the child's umbrella. I'll catch it well. ・'.'
"Yes, nice control. Congratulations! ・・・』
"Now, catch the ball on the umbrella. ・・ ・ "One person releases a cone on the umbrella, and another performer receives the cone with an umbrella.
"Would you like to increase one more of them? ・Let's go 3. (It's impossible, the performer) I'll do it even if it's impossible. (I can't do it) I'll go there in good timing."
"Yes. (I was able to do it) (great success) ... Yes, it's faster, and it's still impossible. I've stopped. Yes, thank you.'
"Yes, this time, ring. I'll turn it.
"Yes, I'll turn it." "What a day!"
"If you turn well, your home will improve your money. Yes, let's go.'
"It's like this if you don't have a bad money. Oh, it's rare, I went. Do you want to stop? Yes. Senma will do the following. (Sentora,) That's the only thing I've done for 15 years. This is the only one that can be done in the sixth year. Yes, let's go. ・・・』
"... When you squeeze the umbrella facing the side, this is "Shiguregasa", when you look like a ripple on the moon, return to the original place where the ripples appear on the moon, and return the ring to the air. It's okay! Jump! I don't have a ceiling today, so let's try the highest one. Well, I'm slowly turning around the umbrella. The ring that rotates slowly is small one spin on the way, one spin small, and "Arakusa is the character of" "". When the large turn goes well, the ring gradually sleeps. Well, I'm going to sleep. Yes, this is Matsudo's bicycle race.
"Yes, I get up gradually and go well into the black place in the middle, and if I don't enter, I will pass through. Do you want to do it? Well, it's a great success. Good, indeed.'
・・The introduction will be followed by the second part.
