【BadApple!!】 傷林果 【Japanese Traditional Dance】lyrics & Romaji

[@oisheekhan5241]

I don't think many people understand exactly how hard it is to move in that kind of clothing n still dance so beautifully

[@Sonnenanbeterin1991]

Oishee Khan yes

[@zoneo2313]

That y is so beautiful when he dance is amazing

[@gothboiclique7688]

Honestly...

[@seed2520]

Ikr! It seems so tight and I think if I dance I that I would probably step on the dress, trip, and fell lol

[@nickm2629]

From what I've heard, it's difficult to walk or take long steps while wearing a kimono, also the fabric will warm your body quickly enough to make you sweat. This person just performed a complete dance, they have my respect

[@nev6086]

And then there's me, who can't even open a fan properly....

[@re0294]

Me too >< I am developing a traditional Japanese style group and band and I wanted to learn to do such dancing so I looked it up just to see. I saw this video first I immediately realized I am never going to be able to do this. I'm sure that I will throw the fan across the room accidentally or it will somehow burst into flames as I open it . - .

????? His hand movements are so elegant and graceful and perfect are we sure this is an actual human?????

[@surisesshy]

Cai Kiseki much practice an discipline, yes is hard, very hard

[@heathercooper5499]

Cai Kiseki indeed does he not resemble a fox

[@4rg3s]

+Cai Kiseki Not only his hand, but the entire body! I notice the hem of his kimono is always spread out in a fan shape and circle around his feet at every moment. That's so fantastic! I'm pretty sure it took a ton of effort just to dress that kimono, not mention to the part of making it.

[@heathercooper5499]

And you don't see a lot of those masks around. They are really hard to find for me ....especially that ONE!! He is soo fox like as well. this would have taken forever to accomplish for someone like me. I honestly want to pet this man and draw him to show how proud I am of him.(this is my version of showing pride please I take no pleasure in sexual ideas so this is all me being happy) P.S. I will not draw him like one of my french gurls

[@dieud9834]

Surprise 😧😧

[@hirokonkiba]

People for christ sakes...this was not meant to be a trap. Back then in Japanese traditional theatre, women had no role in the creative arts, so the women were played by guess what, MEN. So instead of going and judging this dance or thinking you know what's best, why don't you actually open your history books for a change? Or rather why don't you read the damn description box? I hate ignorancy, this is a well respected tradition of dance of theatre. This young man is honoring his tradition. And even if he isn't dancing for that reason, so what? Japan respects cross dressers and are revered as a serious line of fashion and culture. And even if this comment should get criticism, bring it on. It just goes to show you that people out there are not accepting of people of different view points and different cultures, no wonder it pains me to go outdoors and see people who are quick to judge. At the end of the day, don't look at the person behind that mask. You saw this video for a purpose, as for what I dont know. But if you didn't like it, comment what you didn't like, and if its honestly just because the dancer just so happens to be male instead of female, then you need not leave a comment at all. Go watch something else that deserves your troll/hateful comment. I for one found this dance to be beautiful, he was graceful and just all around wondrous to behold. The way the song was made this way was riveting because I am used to it sounding differently. Kikunosuke Sawamura keep dancing how YOU want to dance. Embrace you tradition and don't worry about the arrogant comments of "he's just a trap." Your style of dancing is very amazing and I am happy to see Onnagata once more.

[@hirokonkiba]

Now see I never knew that it also happened in places like london, that I find so incredible, and I give so much respect to the set actors. But what pisses me off is that some of these comments are set to be hateful of the fact that the dancer is a male, dressed as a woman. I just dont understand why people cannot see the beauty behind the dance, not who the dancer is. What does it matter if it is a male wearing female's clothing?

[@re0294]

"Trap" is actually slang, for example in the utaite culture, the term 'ryoseirui' is used on those who can sing both roles. They are called traps because you can not know which sex they are. It for the most part is not an offensive term though it can be used that way. I also don't like this though, the way people are commenting here. Sex and gender are separate and gender stereotypes do not need to apply to you if you don't want them to. He might be a male and might even be a boy but he is allowed to dress in kimono if he likes. Not only this but it is historically accurate, however this rule does not need to be followed unless they find it should be.

[@yuzukamei6566]

+Tenshi Hikari so true man

[@1weeaboo]

the word "trap" is bloody offensive

[@LuciferXFallen290]

+Tenshi Hikari You will also know that kabuki was founded by a woman and the Japanese chauvinists believed women on stage to be immoral so no matter how you look at it, it is sexist

[@FayinKay]

The fan twirl was just mesmerising

[@LuciferXFallen290]

Please note only Kabuki traditional dance is done by males. other traditional dances can be done by either male or female. Most traditional dances that aren't kabuki are mostly done by women. After we mustn't forget the Geisha

[@shanichamachan6036]

[@sittiariffin4242]

but kabuki was start after a woman performing a performance around the village area wearing a guy clothes or so i heard of it

idk why but it reminded me of how one of my band instructors said grace is not a natural talent you actually need a lot of muscle and control to be graceful

[@PurpleGummyBear]

My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time. Really, this whole video is ..utterly captivating. 0_0 If someone sticks me in a kimono and make me dance to Kabuki acts. I would literally look like sea anemones with sushi sauce waving in tidal rush. One word: Ridiculous.

Actually the metaphor is where you describe someone or something with artistic words. The simile is a comparison between two things. (Sorry for this English if something is wrong, I speak Spanish)

This is cringey. Japanese people are normal human beings. Him beung graceful was through years of practice not because he is Japanese. Saying its in his genes nullifies his years of practice and hard work. Plus, you guys are fetishizing Japanese people stop that.

Wow. Did not think this video was still around after all these years. Well, amazing performance as always. Enka is such a beautiful art. Sawamura's performance has always been captivating for this one due to his young age at the time, but it truly shows the hard work, and respect he put into it.

[@IIXBlackCat]

It is the first time that I see a traditional Japanese dance, and... I don't know how to explain it... it is so beautiful, so full of grace.... I don't know how to translate those emotions that I'm feeling right now.... Amazing.............. the dance....the song.....the music...the dancer......everything......

[@tenseishiyou]

that was hypnotic??? like i physically couldn’t take my eyes off of him???

[@Dorlinedainwen]

I adore this so much! He is in such control of his entire body and uses every part of it to tell the story! I love even the pauses where he will subtly tilt his head or move a hand, it adds a sort of tension because I am so used to dances where the dancers just has to be moving and doing crazy moved the entire time.

[@user-gd2fr4xq6w]

I stopped the video right when the vocals started and.....HOLY CRAP! You are an amazing dancer. Your moves are so graceful and the fan really complemented the dance very nicely. Good job! :3

[@Moquxa]

The background music is called bad apple, proposed to be something of falling into darkness, many conspiracies say its a form of beautiful Japanese people dancing and the poor falling into the darkness. As most of the lyrics state ‘ I’ve done all that I can ‘ & ‘ And if I fell, it would all faint to black ‘ that is the end lyric.

[@erinreynolds5897]

I, for one, do not care that this man is dressed as a female. He danced so beautifully, fluidly, and also gracefully. It was like watching a swan slid across the water and I was memorized by all of it. I could not look away for even one second. The main reason why my dinner got cold lol. ^^ But there are no words to describe just how beautiful this is. Kikunosuke Sawamura, keep dancing because what you just did stole my breath away. I may not know a lot about your culture but I've fallen in love with it.
