It's very interesting to have a peak behind the scenes of your school and theatre! In the future videos, could you tell more about how your school is arranged? For example, in this video I've noticed there are two more people with a surname Hananomoto. I'm guessing it's because of the tradition of getting adopted to the family of your master when you start learning a craft. Nowadays, do you formally change your surname, with documents and all? Or is it more of a stage name? Or is it still a family craft, going from a generation to generation in a blood related family? Hope it's not too personal of a question.
Thank you for the question. The meaning of "school" we use is close to the meaning of "family". So we can use the same family name once we qualify. “CHINAMI HANANOMOTO” is my stage name, which I got from my teacher. To get a stage name you need enough NIHON-BUYO skills and a strong passion for NIHON-BUYO. No documentation required. And in many schools, I mean family, you can get a stage name regardless of your bloodline or nationality.
Sorry for the bad sound balance😣
The costumes are so beautifull!! Im in love with it
お、これは勉強になりますね😊🥺妖艶な衣装、粋な衣装、艶っぽい衣装、可愛い衣装、など、様々な役柄に対応出来てるみたいですね😍🥺豊富なストックの中から役柄に合う衣装が選ばれる様子は眼福ですね🥰🥺「4人娘」の衣装は何れも可愛いですね💗🥺

There are famale dancers over 30? (Learning?)
Yes. Nihon-buyo is said to reach maturity after the age of 60.☺️
