[@DrunkardTV]

You're a true Japanese renaissance man, Shogo. I'm sure the rarity and importance of that is not lost on you. Your kids are lucky to have you as their father.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Technically he would be a "true Japanese feudal man" XD

[@greensleeves1554]

@@RainMakeR_Workshop Or maybe an Edo period man? 😆

[@Paulxl]

Japanese traditional theatre is one of my favorite facets of japanese culture.

[@kaboodledoodledoo]

Well done, Shogo! I think people who aren't too familiar with Noh wouldn't recognize any mistakes you made; you made your performance look intentional all throughout, which is great! I didn't know you made mistakes until you mentioned it. :D

[@chasingpax1111]

As a theatre artist, one of my main motivators to visit Japan next spring is to watch Noh, Kabuki, and other forms of theatrical performances in Japan. I admire you, Shogo, for devoting yourself to the service of your country's arts and history. This is very moving to watch and thank you for sharing this priceless moment with us!

[@GaijinGoombah]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@monicab204]

👏👏👏Wonderful!! Well done, Shogo!! Thank you for sharing your performance. You should be very proud of how well you did. ❤️

[@michaelclueless]

There are tears running down my face. I am proud of you, Shogo-San! I saw no flaws with this performance. It must be very difficult to follow the timing of this style of music, which to me, is hard to predict. I know nothing of how this music is meant to be played, and to me, it seems well suited to entry into meditation, but it would be challenging for me to dance to. Thank you for all that you share with us!

[@4rautnumber6]

You Did great Shogo!

[@Columkille72]

Great perfomance Shogo. You did really well. The timing uncertaintys will disapear with further practising and performing I‘m sure. I admire your dedication and effort to learn and preserve the traditional arts. I‘m sure some day you will experience how it feels to be the sensei and attend your students at their first performance.

[@arrozconcu0298]

Wow, what a great performance Shogo it was impressive to watch. It was my first time seeing noh and I don't think one could have asked for a better introduction. Shogo never looked nervous or uncertain and you could see the focus or fire so to speak in his eyes. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful part of Japanese traditional culture. Your dedication is inspirational. Here's to many more performances!

[@HontasFarmer80]

That was great. The video was great. Anyone who has done any kind of dancing understands that precisely controlled movements are a challenge. (I wish the video had subtitles so I could understand what was being said).

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Shogo thank you for sharing your performance on stage with us. I've been trying to expose myself to different forms of Japanese culture recently and the performance of yourself and the other performers was exceptional. I enjoyed it very much. You have a beautiful family Shogo, never forget that and I hope your health is going well. I look forward to seeing your next video. Take care of yourself and your family, Tom from the US

[@KOU-ZAI]

What a captivating performance. I'm sure after all that, you're feeling exhilarated & tired at the same time. I've had my experience with being on the theatre stage before, so I know the feeling. Thank you for sharing this.

[@beautiful.imagination]

The performance is so intricate. It feels like there is a history behind every single act. And the sound of instruments kind of remind me of standing alone in a forest with cloudy sky and cold breez. It definitly feels dificult. You survived gloriously🎖

[@Randamono]

Congratulations Shogo! It was amazing!

[@AddaeAkono]

That was an excellent display of Noh Theater, Shogo. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I can tell you were trying your best when you were dancing. It was nice to see all your years of training in Noh Theater finally pay off.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Congratulations! I thought it was great! It always impresses me how much you all do off screen. So many videos, but also so much practicing and researching and raising 3 kids!

[@user-ne5dw9iu2v]

Beautiful video nice performance. Do not be nervous Shogo you where the bbest.

[@desireegonzalez6219]

Shogo, this was wonderful to watch. I definitely felt a positive energy coming from your performance. Bravo! Thank you for sharing

[@roseofsharon11]

Congratulations! So much hard work, it’s wonderful! I’m so glad to be a subscriber to be able to see all of this…thank you! Please keep studying, and Harumi studying dancing, too…

[@spacephantomranger]

that was so fun to watch! i would love to see a live noh performance some day. your daughters are adorable by the way XD

[@Sarappreciates]

At 13:00 Shogo turns his head in multiple directions. What does this mean? It seems important. Also, I can't believe what a chunk of sweetness Zen has grown into so fast! He's so big now, so we can see he's well-fed and much loved. ❤ Here in the USA, some people don't take their babies anywhere for the first three months of the baby's life. Zen must be about that age now.

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank you for your comment! That is the scene where Yoshitsune, in the midst of a tense battle, thought he was being attacked by the enemy, but it turned out to be a flock of seagulls.😊

[@Sarappreciates]

@@LetsaskShogo Thank you for explaining! 😄

[@suburbanbanshee]

Maybe ten years ago, I went to a special performance at a local US university, by one of the famous actors who play women's parts in kabuki. I got the feeling that he wasn't super-happy to be there, especially since some people were interpreting his work as being "drag", but also because I think he was just a prickly person and was uncomfortable with pretty much everyone in the audience, gaijin or not (except the little old Japanese ladies who knew all about kabuki - you could feel him relax with them). But sometimes travel isn't pleasant, and I'm sure it was lonely to make a tour without a whole troupe along. I think you and your fellow students, and your teacher, all put across a feeling of love for the art form of noh, and of making all the audience welcome. Of course you are at home -- but performance for strangers can be scary, and we are all beginners at being your audience. So I appreciate the fact that you were all so open and courageous. And I wish my computer speakers could do justice to how you all were making the floor vibrate with your singing!

[@christobaliancantu7112]

Holy freaking wow!!! Just subscribed to your channel. I love this video because there's something in the singing that really touched me. The moves.... It touches my soul for some reason and...I don't know how to explain. Maybe an opera but, something else. It's just so beautiful and powerful. Thank you for sharing your video😊

[@-ca--]

I have been watching many Nō plays a few weeks ago (almost binge watching) and it's a really different experience when it's performed by "someone you know". Congratulations, Shogo!

[@kyrolantsberger2659]

Amazing Shogo. Fantastic to see you in this venue.

[@kevdog659]

I'm Slightly envious to have such a rich culture, and to be able to do so much that holds an importance to the history of your people. Though I can't understand more that a few words of Japanese, when I closed my eyes, I almost felt as if I was there, watching with countless others. Though I don't know of much regarding this, just watching you and the effort you have made for it shows in your performance. Thank you for allowing us to watch it as well.

[@gimmiebanana5560]

Wow, that was amazing! Excellent performance Shogo.

[@DembaiVT]

Slightly offtopic, but now I absolutely understand why Sentai/KR looks how it does. There's a huge influence from Noh. And some of the more odd characters just make sense now.

[@natogavrilova201]

Well done Shogo Love from Georgia 🇬🇪

[@conorcrockett9563]

That's a swell performance Shogo-san! 👏

[@danemeow8]

you did so well Shogo!! i appreciate how scary performing like that can be but just from watching your previous videos of you training and practicing, compared to this performance, i feel like you improved so much! Love this content thank you for putting yourself out there especially for all of us Westerners who cant get to Japan to watch one of these magnificent performances in person, because watching you like this, you really made me feel like i was sitting in the room!

Shogo that was AMAZING! I love Noh theatre and your performance was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this

[@scalamasterelectros3204]

Japan needs more people like you

[@Zakuru12]

Shogo! You did so well! I didnt realize with your earlier vids that you're supposed to dance AND sing. I hear thats sooo hard to do with other modern singers. I do have a question though about plain singing. Does traditional singing mention ranges like other singing, like alto, tenor, or bass? I know your voice already has some nice low tones but are those who are cursed with higher voices supposed to be trained to go lower?

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank you for your comment! There is no difference in pitch. We learn to sing in a way that makes the ground vibrate.☺️

[@CleverGirlAAH]

Great question! I'm glad Shogo responded.

Super interesting to watch, never seen Noh dancing before so it was really enjoyable to see you! Great job!!

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

So THAT is what a Noh performance is. I read books every day about the history and culture of Japan and one of the things those mention is Noh. I didn't know what it was about reading from a book until I saw it here. I love it; it's definitely cultural.

[@eipimuja]

Hello Shogo! I went today to watch a Noh play at the National Noh Theater in Tokyo. It's pretty cool to see the results of your training in this video too. Keep it up! :)

[@rolandgdean]

I don't think I've seen so much of your stern and serious face all at one time...lol. I imagine this is what it might be like if Shogo comes home and the house is a mess! I loved watching it and I wish I had a greater understanding of the story it's telling and what all the symbolism means.

[@Herr_Vorragender]

Pretty cool! 😊 I wonder if a Japanese native understands all the words in the song. Because I recognize none at all. Yeh, I'd need subtitles 🙈

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank you for your comment! Most Japanese cannot understand it either, because the lyrics are Japanese archaic text.😂
