No. 74 Kabuki-za (at Higashiginza)
(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).
The Kabukiza Theater front
It is "Kabukiza Theater" which is in Higashi-ginza if seeing
kabuki in Tokyo.
It is in Meiji era that Kabukiza Theater was open in the present place
and present "Shochiku" got to perform from Taishou. That the prototype at the present Momoyama
style architecture was complete was the Taisho Era, but the war damage
after that burned down complete and the building in now revived in 1951.
It reached the opening 100th anniversary in 1988. It has a stage in 27
m of scope, a revolving stage with 18-m diameter and the number of seats
becomes 1,886 seats.
The performance theme in the matinee
The ticket office
The seating list in Kabukiza Theater
The ticket makes and it buys the phone reservation of the booking but today's
ticket, too, is sold.
There is "a evening performance" in the kabuki with "the
matinee", in the matinee, it is done from 11 a.m. and for 5 hours,
a evening performance is done for about 4.5 hours from four thirty p.m..
The restroom can be gone from in "the interval" by performance's
not being through done by being necessary, too, and being composed of the
3-4th act and the meal can be done in the inside arm twist throw.
"It lets through" and the ticket can buy noon and night, too,
but in the case, it pays a price for twice.
There are seat A (4,200 yen) and seat B (2,520 yen) in the 3rd floor seats
but seat B is assumed not to be able to do purchase with the today's ticket.
However, there is time when the cancellation of the party travelers comes
out and in that case, it is lucky. When buying a ticket, the seat can be
specified while seeing a screen but there is a limit in the place which
is allocated with the today's ticket.
The seat of the 2nd floor 1· separates into the 1st prize seats
(14,700 yen) and the 2nd prize seats (10,500 yen) but as for these differences,
as for the seat that the ceiling on the hall can be seen, the place to
be low-ceilinged becomes the 2nd prize because there is a seat in the 1st
prize, the loft. Moreover, there is a box seat (16,800 yen) in the both
sides, this place gets for the step to be higher than the floor and the
cushion is laid and becomes a special seat like the semi compartment.
The seat A back is a B seat in the front of the 3rd floor seats.
(Behind by the 1st, it becomes "the one act seeing seat (following)").
The balcony seat and the 1st floor seats which was seen from the 3rd floor
The flower arrangement can not be regrettably seen from the 3rd floor (It is
different if standing).
"The flower arrangement" falls in front of the seat of the 1st prize of
the 1st floor.
The "box seat" flower arrangement is completely exposed to view
in this.
The box is the place to make that it is easy to see by laying a board,
making higher than the pit.
It is the seat which is seen in the sumo wrestling and the playhouse.
"The one act seeing seat" which was made only only this place
exists in Kabukiza Theater. As for this, two lines of chairs stand in line
in the tag end in the 4th floor parts. It is the nonreserved seat only
of the today's ticket where to see at the only 1st appreciation and the
extraordinarily cheap fee for the student and the lover because it is "HITO"
which doesn't have time with the seat is made. The fee depends (about 800-1,200
yen) on the curtain, but becomes more inexpensive than the movie and moreover
the student discount (the 100-yen pull), too, exists. The ticket agency
and the entrance become different and the curtain seeing seat can not go
to the 3rd floor and the 1st floor in.
It is said to that it does "the 3rd floor seats and the curtain seeing
seat raise a good stage" and the calls such as "the * * shop"
who is hung on the suitable interval, too, are the one which it is possible
to hear from the back.
There is a store of the Japanese-style cooking and the noodle shop and so on.
There is a gift shop, too.
A matrix is made of the person who buys a box lunch.
The box lunch can be eaten with the seat in the interval.
The name, "the variety box lunch", was on because it ate in the meanwhile
of the curtain.
It becomes the inside like a form of theme parks such as the coffee shop and the shop like the classy Japanese-style cooking, the curry and rice shop, the noodle shop, the gift shop, the lunch box shop of the self-service and it never wants. The kabuki can be throughout the day enjoyed. Also, to appreciate difficult classic kabuki more clearly, the rent of the entertainment guide (650 yen), too, goes. As expected, in Kabukiza Theater, let's decide to eat "a variety box lunch".
There is "a soft-shelled turtle" of the Japanese parsley rising in
front of the flower arrangement.
"Baking bean great fortune"
The great fortune that the burning burn is aromatic

"Prime Minister Koizumi" came with what !
Kabukiza Theater official home page History in Kabukiza Theater
"To "BU" --'s coming --- Kabukiza Theater" 2002-04-07 (Sun)
It was born and it went to the seeing in the the first time kabuki.
It thought that it did traveling abroad and that it touched a foreign culture
but that would know how much about the culture of the own country in the
question and it decided to attempt to see kabuki.
If called kabuki in Tokyo, it is "Kabukiza Theater" which is
in Higashi-ginza. Because it had been written at "Pia" when not
understanding being giving what theme sufficiently and beginning giving
at 11 o'clock for now, it attempted to go around 10 o'clock.
Kabukiza Theater is a look with indeed appearance. That facade to make
bear a close resemblance to the Edo period very outstandingly When seeing
a program, it is and the evening performance becomes four thirty p.m. from
11 o'clock in the matinee of the "public court song dance 伎 in April"
Utaemon Nakamura 1 anniversary and Nakamura lead spring succession announcing.
Because it knew so-called "kabuki" only unconciously, it was
often variously surprised. The kabuki is the general public drama which
was complete in the Edo period and will be something like the joke of the
drama and the drama and Yoshimoto Kogyo when saying in today but the place
to have become the tradition people literature which represents nobly crowded
Japan is mysterious when the times pass.
Because the 2-3-hour feeling was ordinary when familiar with the movie
and the drama in the 4.5-hour long stretch in the evening performance when
familiar with 5 hours in the matinee, it felt to see very long. It isn't
doing in "BUTUTOUSI" for 5 hours even if it is necessary, and
in, it separates into four themes and each becomes the 1st act within 45
minutes and 1.5 hours. It has thought how to do the way, a meal, but rest
for the meal is taken for 30 minutes and the meal can be finished among
it.
When going in, there is only Kabukiza Theater indeed and the weight of
the space is felt. Then, for there to be a lot of stores such as the dining
room and the tiffin, the Japanese hotchpotch shop and the noodle shop,
the gift shop, it was surprised. Only, it is the place as it needs throughout
the day, thinking that it does a hall, but that the shop matches it when
going in and that it is the same as the theme park of some species.
The ticket have been able to be able to become available with the today's
ticket, but to be most inexpensive finish being popular among the 3rd floor
seat B and 3150 yen, this finish being popular among the booking already.
Next, to be inexpensive bought 5250 yen, this at the 3rd floor seat A.
There, GET!! this was lucky because it was possible to choose the seat
to like while seeing a TV screen when buying a seat but the seat ahead
by the 3rd floor 1st was empty. It is the 2nd prize seats that are high
next by reference and are with the seat in the 2nd floor and the 1st floor
back in this. Then, it is the 1st prize seats. This is the front of the
2nd floor 1· and becomes 16800 yen. In case of being from the 3rd
floor, the flower arrangement can not be seen but if buying the 1st prize,
securely, the flower arrangement, too, is OK and the kabuki actor can be
near seen.
By the way, it is a big mistake if thinking that it does an end in this.
Moreover, there is an advanced seat. It is the seat to be called "a
box seat" and for a cushion to have been pulled to do the 壁伝 being
of both sides of the 2nd floor 1· and is the "INA" seat
which the green tea pot and so on saw at the placed semi compartment. It
is not a seat in the front and it doesn't find that it says that the seat
of the side is expensive more slightly well but the box seat is anyway
obviously the seat which seems high.
When becoming immediately before start, the curtain with 3 colors (is it
4 colors?) is pulled once more and becomes a start when it opens. A paper
lantern was placed on the place of the 2nd floor and the 3rd floor seats
and this was moved once more with "Kabukiza Theater or -". It
was Kabukiza Theater which was visited without what feeling but the appearing
member is a cask member immediately and is bridge 之助, Fukusuke, a Japanese
apricot ball, lucky Uemon, Kankuro, 團 Jiyuuro, ball Saburo and a luxurious
cast. Because there was to call an entertainment guide, it borrowed it,
doing 650 yen and it decided to appreciate it. It doesn't find about what
it is saying that there is not this about ""AA-O-ME-NO-"
··" and so on and in joruri "DATUTE" at all.
Thanks to your help, the story and the background could be known. Only,
when having put on an earphone, because to sense the atmosphere of the
space had been cut in half, when ball Saburo was playing a Chinese fiddle
by the theme, the pearl, it removed and it heard an earphone.
Before the 2nd eye started, the inside of the hall seethed with the clapping.
With what when attempting to exclude the bottom, does "Prime Minister
Koizumi" take SP and doesn't it try to take a seat per center in the
1st floor the front? Wasn't it possible to regard as anything again in
VIP actor !!? "WO"? It waved a hand and it was answering the
voice of the aunt who is called "Koizumi "SA--N"".
It ate the variety box lunch to buy beforehand beforehand and it did kabuki
appreciation over 5 hours. It thinks that it assumes in a state and that
it will carry it on the page of the Tokyo considering. (Because the photography
to be staging was prohibited, it took a photograph only about the state
in Kabukiza Theater).
"Araragidaira one fan (Yamato Japanese syllabary Arihara genealogy)-public
court song dance 伎 in June" 2002-06-23 (Sun)
It is "the kabuki" that becomes a form of my boom recently in
me. It, too, is not the super kabuki which arranging Ennosuke acts to the
modernism and is the classic kabuki which is performed in Kabukiza Theater
in Higashi-ginza. It is a traditional entertainment in the own country
to go out to the travel to the foreign countries and to sense the culture
of the foreign country by the skin. It thinks that it isn't possible to
be saying that it doesn't know "kabuki" and it is the one of
this year. In April, in the the first time kabuki, it attempted to go to
seeing, but this was extremely interesting and learned that the moving
to have discovered the entertainment of the expression way that there is
not to have experienced so far newly is done in me. Since it, it went to
Kabukiza Theater every month but this month, today, it went to the seeing
in the kabuki in Kabukiza Theater.
It sells today's ticket on a first-come-first-served basis from 10 a.m..
Because it becomes all reserved almost from the inexpensive seat behind
by the 3rd floor, when hoping for the 3rd floor seats below 5000 yen, to
have gone at 10 a.m. has been sold out. However, today, the 5000-yen seat
ahead mysteriously and by the 3rd floor was sold out for the first time
and the 3000-yen seat behind by the 3rd floor was empty. The delicious
taste of the kabuki had been cut from the 3rd floor seats in half because
the flower arrangement could not be seen, but because it did the 1st floor
seats by equal to or more than 10,000 yen, as me of the poor person, it
bought and it was appreciating a seat behind by the 3rd floor by opera
glass bringing from them.
There is to call "an entertainment guide" in Kabukiza Theater.
It doesn't find whether or not to say classic kabuki honestly and in what
for it to be chattering well. Much more, as for the song of the joruri
and so on, it seems that it hears a foreign language and it doesn't find
what somehow at all. It is the entertainment guide that does such a story
and a background, the explanation of the clothing and the setting and so
on. It becomes a small walkie-talkie, it puts an earphone in the ear while
taking a seat and it hears explanation. I can have an interest in the kabuki
and the place by the explanation of the entertainment guide is very big
and it is in the place where that it isn't possible to see is honest that,
funnily, I feel kabuki without the entertainment guide. Only, it isn't
possible to appreciate reality at the stage by 100% using the five sensory
organs because there is a fault, too, and the ear of the one has been blocked.
The sound in the inside of the hall which was selected with Mike can be
heard from the earphone but it appreciates reality by that had better hear
the crude timbre of the whole stage as expected with both ears and removing
an earphone at the musical instrument and in the part which tells a sound.
The explanation can be heard little while appreciating reality when discovering
a form of knack recently, not pushing an earphone into the ear fully, and
making hang on the hole of the ear and opening a few cracks beforehand.
For the succession announcing performance, a famous theme is implemented
at the 蒼 cask member in 4 this year-public court song dance 伎 in June.
When there is "a evening performance" and in case of seeing by
the remaining, the fees for twice become necessary with "the matinee".
Because there is a prolog of the succession announcing in the evening performance
because the 4th act is held in the matinee, the staging becomes the 3rd
act. In the shamisens OBJ DO and there are a wide range of kinds even if
it understands for the first time, going to seeing but I, too, call kabuki
"kabuki" It plays all together with the kabuki, the long epic
song of the splendid dance like the Japanese dance. The kabuki which is
made a joruri, the kabuki which is made play like the popular Samurai movie
on TV, the kabuki which plays a musical instrument (the Chinese fiddle
and the koto and so on) like the pearl, the kabuki which has a scuffle
like the circus, and so on, are various actually. It is condition such
as combining these successfully and curtain program's being composed and
showing a dance in the dance center as the prelude at first and then giving
a joruri with Tokiwazu accompaniment music paragraph, and female-impersonator's
giving the tale of the romantic relationship of the appearing man and woman
and giving a such as Benkei and the Chushingura historic tale. The acting
of "ball Saburo" who is famous as the beautiful female-impersonator
by whom the name is famous to the world, too, is indeed beautifully the
gesture which seems to be rather a woman than the woman. It is 肯"KERU"
that is very popular with "BASAMA". Also, it has felt "NODANA"
which doesn't change still in the Edo period, too, about the love of the
man and the woman.
There is a curtain which is called ""GURUI" of Araragidaira
one fans (Yamato Japanese syllabary Arihara genealogy) "NPEIMO"
(Yamato is "NAARIWARAKEIZU")" in the theme this month. "Araragidaira"
of the eccentric fellow to become mentally deranged when seeing a sword
gets off and the tether in the scene of the battle scuffle in the Araragidaira
and at small son "Shigeru storehouse" in Araragidaira is the
chance to show of this play. However, the 1st highlight is a scuffle in
Araragidaira which confronts a partner in about 30 which start at the second
half of the curtain and in "NANTOITUTEMO", it is highlights to
the speed and the power. In case of being the kabuki as it is seeing a
circus just like and when the performance around the somersault and the
standing upright, and so on, is successful, the cheer and the big clapping
arise from the inside of the hall. By the upper part OBJ DO, this scuffle
lasts equal to or more than 20 minutes, too, and stands a big ladder at
the flower arrangement When the enemy falls from the roof in "SAMA"
that the enemy becomes inverted and at the well becomes It is the enactment
such as the acting of which the acting, the human being who does a somersault
in 2 continuation get for about six to be circular and it crouches down
and jumps on it, somersaulting by which a seeing audience, too, is excited.
The so needed kabuki, too, was the curtain which seems to have increasingly
fallen into kabuki more with to know whether or not there is profundity
of the kabuki once more being possible.
When attempting to appreciate once by all means, not knowing kabuki yet
and doing the that yes will be righting of? and not forgetting an entertainment
guide This becomes sleepy in case of not being. Then, it is forgetting
"NAKU" that buys a variety box lunch at the lunch box shop at
the entrance. Because it is with the indispensable matters of the kabuki
appreciation that it eats a box lunch with the seat among the curtains
"Ichikawa Ennosuke's kabuki-public court song dance 伎 in July"
2002-07-21 (Sun)
The kabuki this month becomes Ichikawa Ennosuke enactment's performance
and the each one of Ennosuke gang is arranging a face. If saying Ennosuke,
including the super kabuki which was arranged to the modernism, it is creating
the appearance of the unusual new kabuki and it has the nickname of "the
heretic" from the kabuki world. However, the popularity of Ennosuke
kabuki to arrange clearly and to try to tell an audience it is high and
the ticket of the today's ticket becomes sold out simultaneously with sale.
Specifically, it seems that evening performance presentation of a whole
play of kyogen "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden" does a bumper and there
is quite a lot of appearance of the young person, too, in the eyes.
Ennosuke gang doesn't stick hereditarily, and raises able human resources
irrespective of "the house" and makes them an actor and the actor
who grew up with the pupil entering after the bold duty became the adults
such as "笑也" who act suiting "Ukon" and a female-impersonator
is gathered. Only, it seems that it sometimes gets a severe opinion about
the words and the fight from the audience and so on, too, and there is
one to be made to feel about the difference with the actor of the noble
family to have been made to drum from the time to be small. For the audience
who likes the solid atmosphere of the classic kabuki, it is not such "NOHA"
" kabuki. It thinks of " and the contents as it has beat for
the new kabuki which introduced a situation in today to be to be only doing
now the thing which is the same as the kabuki which was done formerly in
the Edo period and for this to be true kabuki.
Fish - of * of the " fish appeared in Ennosuke's kabuki., "SAKANA-",
fish --, fish -"WOTABE-RUTO" It sings a song of the fish which
is flowing in the supermarket of -" and so on and the street and "
this is the one of the Titanic. There is a scene which invites "DEIKAPURI-O-"
" and so on and laughter and When touching a present economic depression
topic, the script which jumped to the uniqueness which mixed play in the
past and humor in today is done and is the contents which can laugh funnily
even if the youngster sees. Then, it is places such as the service perfect
scores such as the place where Ennosuke who was made hanging in midair
(saying a midair stunt) to the seat in the 3rd floor the backs appears
at the seat.
浄瑠璃"YA" which were in the book before when the kabuki had
a variety of kinds but are due to the tribes such as the shamisen The kabuki
of the dance which the Japanese dance entered and so on are called "the
classic kabuki". The one such as the place where the contents to be
talking about play beautifully without not understanding them but doing
the beauty and the profundity which the kabuki has, a straight expression
which "KOREKOSO" makes think that is kabuki "DANA"
are classic kabuki. The classic kabuki will be absolutely judged the winner
if saying "the percentage of completion and the beauty of the art".
On the other hand, in the zest like the Samurai movie, it puts on ordinary
clothing and it is the one of the citizen in the Edo period. To do a state
by the drama is called "Shin'uta dance 伎", it is possible to
hear the contents of the story, too, well and the expression ways such
as the sound of the animal and the sound which it is possible to divide
"TIYAWAN" into get to be realistically in the reality. There
is "thing leg "RINASA" as the kabuki" compared with
the classic kabuki and it is the feeling as it is seeing merely Samurai
movie, but it understands a living way in the Edo period and Shin'uta dance
伎, too, is funny. A classic and new are successfully mixed and a program
is performed.
As expected, "the laughter" is Kankuro-enjoying the evening cool
kabuki in August. 2002-08-26 (Mon)
In August, it entitles enjoying the evening cool kabuki and it is doing
a play with three pieces of composition. This time, it saw "floating
and being a heart" of the second part and "the Asakusa grass
festival in 4 changes and Yayoi". "Floating and being a heart"
is comedy. It showed the performance which held the pot of Kankuro, the
laughter indeed and as for the inside of the hall, it was excited by the
whirlpool of the laughter from beginning to end. The curtain that the curtain
seeing seat is being crowed so much in the person sign which in the gallery
the seeing that the curtain seeing seat most behind, too, is overcrowded
most appears in was the first time.
It does the thing as Kankuro astonishes the world by being playing the
play house which doesn't sell and making a person laugh and it is thinking
of the trick of the script. It anyway prepares playing cheap tricks variously
with 太助 to play in bridge 之 Suke because it is possible to astonish
the world. Because it was Shin'uta dance 伎, in the program which can understand
what the elementary and junior high schoolers are saying, the schoolchild,
too, could come actually. As for the tempo well developed stage, the laughter
doesn't run out from beginning to end. The sense of closeness must boil
to "the kabuki" at anyone if Yoshimoto Kogyo, too, sees that
it is surprised, this. Such duty is suited for Kankuro.
The hit which flies in the air by entitling last "the midair stunt"
which Ichikawa Ennosuke makes triumphant to be "the "TI"
"YUU" ride", being on the mouse, too, is interesting. Both
the place to be inviting laughter by saying "the view had a feeling
at the good. Sawagata shop "IYA-" and understanding "GAYO-KU""
and so on when riding a mouse and pending and what are funny. Way, Sawagata
shop is Ichikawa Ennosuke's name. There is not a date later on the 28th
because it is easy for Chiaki but it is overlooking "NAKU" because
the absoluteness and not to know kabuki of not seeing yet is interesting.
Way, in the kabuki, it doesn't write "the last day" and it writes
"Chiaki's being easy". It says that it changed this into "穐"
from "the autumn" to wish that it doesn't present great fire
to the Edo period which caused a fire often and for the fire to enter.
Floral Asakusa festival in Yayoi of the 2nd eye can not miss this, too,
for Kankuro fan in the joruri kabuki of the dance by the brother of 7 之助
with scent Taro who is Kankuro's two sons. It was these days increasingly
today to be blinded by the kabuki.
It is ""NAKARE" which tells the world without knowing Japanese
culture".
This series is updated. It looks forward to the next time OBJ DO.
