Katsurashijaku Meien Shu 5 (Shogakukan DVD)

[Machine Translation] The last two Kamigata Rakugo performances by Shijaku, the master of Kamigata Rakugo, will be the last two performances in volume 5! The last two performances of the five-volume series, "Sneezing Lecture" and "Konoike no Inu", will be the last of the five-volume series. Sneezing Lecture" is one of Shijaku's favorite rakugo pieces, and the great tone of the lecture will make you fall in love with it! The great tone of the lecture made me smile, and the adorable expression on the idiotic man's face made me smile. The repeated sneezing facial expressions and the interesting and flamboyant movements can only be enjoyed on film, and this performance is full of the essence of Shijaku's work. Konoike's Dog" is a Kamigata Rakugo story featuring a dog. The older brother, Black Dog, who is happy to be adopted by the Konoike family, and the younger brother, Buchi, who is emaciated, are reunited. The story is about a storyteller who takes care of the dogs, knowing that they are brothers who have been separated from each other. The book includes an interview with Shofukutei Tsurube and commentary by rakugo writer Osada Sadao. Volumes 1-4 are also on sale.

5巻の最後を飾る枝雀大得意の上方落語2席! 5巻シリーズの最後を飾るのは、『くしゃみ講釈』『鴻池の犬』の2席。『くしゃみ講釈』は、枝雀が大得意としていた演目で、講釈の名調子にほれぼれ!したかと思うと、アホな男の表情の愛らしさに思わず笑みがこぼれる。何発も繰り返されるくしゃみの顔芸、動きの面白さ・派手さは、映像でないと堪能出来ない、枝雀の真骨頂が満載の高座です。『鴻池の犬』は、犬が主人公の上方落語。鴻池家にもらわれ幸せな兄の黒犬と痩せ細った弟のブチが再会。生き別れた兄弟と知って面倒を見る噺で、犬の仕種や犬同士の台詞の可笑しさに枝雀の魅力が溢れています。書籍には笑福亭鶴瓶のインタビューを掲載、高座解説は落語作家・小佐田定雄。第1巻~第4巻も大好評発売中です。
