感想

英米 3年

His Rakugo was very funny and I really enjoyed it! Actually it was my first time to hear Rakugo, and now I regret that I had never seen Rakugo before now. His opinion for learning English is also interesting. Indeed, I regarded myself as an “English learner”. I’ve realized, right now, this way of thinking is an obstacle to using English as an “English user”.

I enjoyed “Chiritotechin” Rakugo very much. This was my first time to watch English Rakugo. English is a low-context language, so he needs more explanation than in Japanese. However, a pause is very important and also interesting while telling a Rakugo story. He uses interesting props and that makes for a more funny performance. Also, I admire him very much. He restarted studying English just a few years ago, but he is very confident in his English and English Rakugo. If I have a chance to show some Japanese traditional entertainment, I will do Rakugo in English and show Japanese sense of fun.

I enjoyed English Rakugo very much because it was the first time for me to listen to English Rakugo and Kimochi’s stories were very fun and humorous. When I heard the title “Chiritotechin” at the beginning, I could not predict the content. I could not guess what would happen. However, by the end of the story, I totally understood what “Chiritotechin” meant. Not only the story, but also the way Kimochi talked was very interesting. His facial expressions often changed and the sounds he made were very similar to the real ones. During his performance, I could not stop laughing. If I have a chance, I want to listen to his English Rakugo.

It was such a luxurious time! In this class, we usually have a presentation in which the speaker makes a speech with some slides projected on the screen. However, this time was performed using Mr. Kimochi’s whole body and facial expressions and with tools like a fan and handkerchief. I did not think I can watch such a real Rakugo performance in this class! He has a good sense of humor and made us laugh incessantly. I like very much his potential to do Rakugo in English and his friendly character. And I am also ready to get into Rakugo in English!

This lecture was so funny and showed me fun despite the obstacle of languages. When I watch some foreign comedy movies or dramas, sometimes I don’t know why actors or actress are laughing. I think that’s why I watch them with Japanese subtitles. Therefore, this lecture impressed me so much because I really enjoyed Rakugo even in English. I think it’s so hard to show all the funny parts of the story, but Mr. Kimochi showed me the possibility. Someday, I also wanna be a person who can tell a funny story or comedy!

Actually it’s the first time to see Rakugo in English. He made me laugh a lot and I’ve never enjoyed so much listening to English like I did in today’s performance. I think it’s wonderful to spread a traditional Japanese culture in his unique way. I hope many foreigners are interested in his Rakugo and experience the nice culture. And also I want to take my parents, who aren’t interested in English, to watch his Rakugo. Maybe they’ll be impressed like me and be curious about English.

I enjoyed today’s English Rakugo a lot. That was incredibly hilarious. Kimochi’s lecture was inspirational to me, especially the part of his philosophical belief because it taught me that it doesn’t matter when we take up something. And it reminded me of the importance of trying new things.

I have never seen Rakugo before. I had thought Rakugo is serious and boring. But, I changed my impression. It was so funny! Also his performance was so wonderful. I’m a member of YOSAKOI dance team, so I always dance in front of an audience. So, I learned how to attract them. When I was a high school student, I studied English, especially reading and writing, to pass the exam. It was so boring. In the future, I want to be an English user, not an English learner! It is the most interesting lecture I’ve ever taken! Thank you!

Today’s presentation was very enjoyable. He said that he started to learn English at 30 years old. I listened to that fact, and I was very surprised. His pronunciation is very good and he seems to have confidence in his English. So, in today’s presentation, I learned that it is very important to never give up even if we get old. I want to challenge something that I really want to do.

Thank you for your very interesting presentation. What I was most surprised at was that he made us laugh with few Japanese descriptions. In fact, especially in Rakugo, making people laugh by using other languages is one of the most difficult things to do. Some words have various meanings and I often have trouble describing the meanings of jokes in different languages. However, he deals with those different meanings in a much better way. I was completely impressed with that. Also, we had a very enjoyable and precious time!
