Lovin' it, Sunshine-san! So appreciate hearing this in English, Japanese--and even in Chinese! Wow! (I could only thoroughly appreciate the English & the Japanese since I don't speak Chinese...but have dabbled, and know good Mandarin when I hear it... = grin = ...and it's so fun to hear and feel the deeper sense of unity and appreciation of our common humanity that humor brings to us... that you are expressing and embodying for us so profoundly....so very cross-culturally--even beyond my own known languages. So appreciate your amazing commitment to continuing, cultivating and perfecting your most uplifting and delightful work of embodying our commonality through your performing! So unifying (and dare I say, "healing"?) to encourage us to see all that we have in common as human beings with nearly identical feelings and expressions! Truly my most respectful "katsura's" off to you, Sunshine-san!) Saw you for the first time tonight...on the Seattle channel's late night re-broadcast... so splendidly enjoyed... and had to look for you elsewhere... and... yatta!! Here you are! Delighted to find you here ...so I can continue to enjoy your much-needed, truly "sunshiny" presence, cheer you on, and share your bright light around!
Steven - thank you so much for your comment! Sorry I did not see this when it came in!! I really appreciate your wishes and support. Please do keep in touch! -Sunshine
@@KatsuraSunshineRakugoChannel Oh, thanks so much for your thoughtful and gracious response, Sunshine! You're da best! SAI-KOH! Lookin' forward to trackin' with you, and sharing your de-light-full presence and high-beams with others! Was pleased to see that you have such a nice solid fan-base on your Japanese channel! I'll see if I can help add a few subs" to your English channel...as I share your "spark" around! (I'm "big" on honoring the "spirit" of the person ...whenever possible... and so my words tend to often reflect that., hopefully The deep feeling of the importance of this I've had most of my life...much of Japanese culture seems to have played a big role in this, I think. ... though my getting to know the deeper meaning of "namaste" as introduced to me by the Yoga culture ...helped me to crystalize this. (4 yrs. shorter stay there than you total, but I found that so many of my deepest social instincts...having grown up there, even in coming to the US as, for all practical purposes, an "undercover exchange student" for college showed me. The reason I mention this... I just loved the notion of learning your craft from your master by sort of a "heart-an'-soul" level "osmosis" when you shared both the history of the art form as well as your own journey into it...which I enjoyed thoroughly...even with all of the "downside" of all of the intrinsic expectations, chores and mind-reading level of responsiveness that seemed to be a part of your apprenticeship! So many from western countries would have such a hard time staying with that...due to our understandable sense of personal space and healthy "boundaries". But, like you said, when you first encountered Rakugo, it was, in effect, love at first sight and hearing...like something you were meant to pursue...and I join the many thousands who are so very glad you did...and continue to pursue it! Thanks again, Sunshine! Yoroshiku! )
Great job on this - I really enjoyed the same story in 3 languages! I am no expert in anything but English, but I have heard enough Chinese to say that I think your intonation is very notable. Looking forward to more videos and especially more live shows, Katsura Sunshine! --Eric (from Eric and Raffaella)
Very good, Sunshine. Even as a surprise video at (for me) 4 AM on a Monday. Cool exit music, too.
