Kenko Sanyutei Rakugo Shu Hanashi Donya Suzugamori / Obake Nagaya

[Machine Translation] His light-hearted delivery will make you burst into laughter! Two performances by Kenko, one of the most popular members of the Enraku troupe! Suzugamori" : Thieves in rakugo stories are always stupid. The main character in this story is exceptionally funny. The man who earnestly works hard at his misdeeds under his master is a complete idiot no matter what he hears. Today, he follows his boss to Suzugamori to chase him away, but from the preparatory stage, he shows his elementary ineptitude without regret. He also learns how to say the right lines for the chase, but this too is a bit of a challenge. When they arrive at their destination, Suzugamori, they try to start the chase, but the chase doesn't go smoothly. Haunted tenement house" : When the residents of a vacant tenement house are using it for their own convenience, the landlord becomes angry with them. The tenement-mates, who want to continue using the vacant store, consult with Mokubei, an old resident of the tenement. Mokubei says, "If anyone who wants to rent the shop asks for it, I will pretend to be the landlord and turn them away. He also told them a fictional story about a beautiful woman who used to live in the house who was robbed and murdered, and then came out as a ghost, so that they would not want to rent the house. The first man who comes to the house is horrified by Mokei's story, and leaves in a panic. He was going to use this fiction to turn away one after the other, but the next man who came was very bold and not at all frightened. The next man, however, was more assertive and did not scare them at all, and when he told them that he did not need to pay for the store, they immediately moved in. The Mokeibei, troubled by the situation, set up a haunted house-like structure in order to scare him.

軽妙な語り口で爆笑を誘う! 圓楽一門きっての人気者、兼好による2席をどうぞ! ■「鈴ヶ森」: 落語に登場する泥棒は、いつも間抜けである。そしてこの噺の主人公は図抜けておかしい。親分の元で真面目に悪事に励む男は何を聞いても頓珍漢なのである。今日は親分に付いて鈴ヶ森に追いはぎへ出かけることになったが、そのための準備段階から初歩的なダメっぷりを遺憾なく発揮する。追いはぎのためのセリフ回しも教わるのだが、これもたどたどしい。さて目的の鈴ヶ森に着いて、追いはぎを始めようとするがこれがしまらない。 ■「お化け長屋」: 長屋の空き店を住人たちで便利に使っていると、大家が住民たちに怒ってきた。空き店を使い続けたい長屋仲間は、古くからの住人・杢兵衛に相談する。杢兵衛は「借りたい人がたずねて来たら、俺が差配人のふりをして追い返してやる」という。それも、もともと住んでいた美しい後家さんが泥棒に入られたのち殺され、幽霊になって出てくるという作り話を聞かせ借りたくなくさせるというものだ。早速訪ねてきた最初の男は、この杢兵衛の話にすっかりおびえ、あわてて帰ってしまう。この作り話を使い、次々に追い返すつもりだったが、次に来た男は威勢がよく全く怖がらない。おまけに作り話のついでに「店賃がいらない」と言ったものだから、その男はすぐに引っ越して来てしまった。困った杢兵衛たちは、本当に怖い思いをさせてしまおうと、お化け屋敷のような仕掛けをめぐらすのである。
