【催し】気になる三人会(落語:三遊亭萬橘、柳亭小痴楽、瀧川鯉八)

気になる三人会と題して定例開催されている、三遊亭萬橘、柳亭小痴楽瀧川鯉八の3人の噺家による会。
が、私が気になっていたのはこの3人ではなくて、3人に交じって一人独特の芸風を持つタブレット純で、今回もどちらかというと彼目当てで観に行った。

会場は50%制限だったが、かなりの賑わい。
前座のあと、鯉八が訥々とした喋りで、枕からの自然な流れから新作落語「多数決」を披露。呂律の回り切っていない不思議な喋り口調で、オチ前が軽く噛んだのも御愛嬌。
続いて登場の小痴楽が、すかさずべらんめえ口調で後輩が噛んだのをこき下ろして、まくしたてる様に古典落語崇徳院」。恋煩いを題材にした噺だが、ロックの様なテンポ感でかなり独特。
仲入り後、お目当てのタブレット純登場。THE ALFEEの高〇沢の様なルックスで、か細い声でMCをするが、出自はマヒナスターズの晩年のメンバーであり、昭和歌謡の歌い手。それが、小学生の算数の文章問題集の有り得ないシチュエーションに1人ツッコミして歌い上げるというネタをやる。終始グダグダなのも観ていて楽しかった。
噺家2人とパーフォーマー1人で醸し出した混とんとした空気を、一気に真っ当な寄席小屋の空気に戻したのは、萬橘。立川流がよくやる井戸の茶碗を、高い地声と軽妙な語り口で。比較的長い所要時間の演目だが、ザワついた会場の空気が徐々に落ち着いていって、最後確り落してくれた。
タブレット純は勿論だが、小痴楽のハイテンポなロック、萬橘のブレない噺、は予期せぬ収穫。

【催し】王と花魁(ワハハ本舗全体公演)

2020年春の予定がコロナの影響で約1年半延期され、ようやく実現に漕ぎ着けたワハハ本舗全体公演「王と花魁」。

f:id:higecho:20211101114700j:plain

往年の演者たちが一堂に会すということで、楽しみに観に行ってきた。
王(観客)が花魁(パフォーマー)の舞台をオムニバス形式で楽しむという趣向で、柴田理恵久本雅美梅垣義明、大久保ノブオ(ポカスカジャン)らを筆頭に、ほぼ全ての名のあるメンバーが舞台に上がった。
ドカンとウケようが、見事にスベろうが、オムニバスなのでテンポよくどんどん次の演目に移る、舞台コメディのわんこそば状態。
大人数でやる音楽、ダンスものは矢張り観ていて壮観で、個人技でいうと、柴田理恵の1人芝居と、久本雅美スタンダップコメディは、TVでは観られない代物で、とても得した気分。
昭和世代のザ・大衆芸能ここにあり、という感じで、昭和世代の私はおおいに堪能。

Anime : Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside

New anime to start in October 2021.


www.youtube.com

©ざっぽん・やすも/KADOKAWA/真の仲間製作委員会

This is an anime adaptation of a light novel of very long title.
It's literally about the protagonist who was removed from a heroic party due to a lack of military strength, and how he slowly rebuilds his life in a rural town. The protagonist was not reincarnated into another world, but this work seems to be originally from a fantasy world.
The way he struggles between his will to carve out his own path and the "blessings" of the spirits, which to some extent define his abilities and characteristics, gives the impression of an Indian caste.
After watching episodes 1-3, it seems that the main character and his partner have a relaxed life, but on the other hand, there are occasional depictions of the heroic party's bleakness, and I look forward to seeing how these intersect in the future.
Produced by Wolfsbane/Studio Flood, directed by Hoshino Makoto, written by Shimizu Megumi, with voice actors Suzuki Ryota("Kaguya-sama: Love Is War":Ishigami Yu), Takao Kanon("Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater ":Tsurugi Hina), Ōzora Naomi("Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! ":Uzaki Hana), Amamiya Sora("Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!":Aqua), Yashiro Taku ("KING OF PRISM -Shiny Seven Stars-" : Juouin Kakeru), Amasaki Kohei("Hypnosis Mic":Yamada Saburo),  Serizawa Yu("Kakegurui":Yumemite Yumemi), Tokui Sora("Love Live!":Yazawa Nico), etc.

Anime : The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made

New anime to start in Oct/2021.

© 美紅/双葉社・「進化の実」製作委員会

Animated from light novel.
The main character is not a working adult, but a high school student, and everyone in the class is reincarnated at the same time.
The art touch is a bit old-fashioned, but it doesn't bother me when I watch it. It's probably a one-course (12-13 episodes) story, but it starts off very slowly.
I've watched the first 2 episodes, and it seems that the story is slowly describing the evolution of the character and the beginning of his relationship with his partner, and that the real adventure is just beginning.
The story will be interesting to see how it progresses.
Produced by Hotline, directed by Okumura Yoshiaki, composed and written by Ichikawa Gigaemon.
The voice casts are Shimono Hiro("Demon Slayer":Agatsuma Zenitsu), Hanazawa Kana("Bakemonogatari":Sengoku Nadeko), Inoue Marina("Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann":Yoko Littner), Inada Tetsu("Legend Of The Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These":Fritz Joseph Bittenfeld), Nishio Yuka("D4DJ First Mix" : Aimoto Rinku), Nishimoto Rimi("BanG Dream!":Ushigome Rimi), Nanjo Yoshino("Love Live! School Idol Project":Ayase Eli), Hikasa Yoko("K-ON!":Akiyama Mio), Arai Satomi("A Certain Scientific Railgun ":Shirai Kuroko), Kubo Yurika("Love Live! School Idol Project":Koizumi Hanayo), etc.

©2021 月夜 涙・れい亜/ KADOKAWA/暗殺貴族製作委員会

Animated from light novel.
The title directly describes the content of the story.
1st episode fully describes the assassination work of an old man assassin in his previous life. I wondered what would happen next and then in 2nd episode, the situation after the reincarnation began to be described mainly by the young protagonist.
The arrangement of the reincarnation is interesting. The goddess says, "The hero who defeated the demon king is the key to the destruction of the world, so I want you to bust him".
The protagonist arrives in the other world with this goal in mind. It will be interesting to see how he approaches the hero and plans to assassinate him.
The main characters are Akabane Kenji("Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!":Sakurai Shinichi)(after reincarnation) and Morita Junpei("NARUTO":Nagato)(before reincarnation), and other casts are Ueda Reina("Fruits Basket ":Soma Kisa), Takada Yuuki("New Game!

Anime : Blue Period

New anime starting in October 2021.
This is an anime based on a manga.
Due to the popularity of the manga itself, there was a lot of buzz about this title when it was decided to be animated.
The story is about a high school boy who is good at everything but has no passion, turns out to show passion in picture art and how he improves his skills through friendly competition with his friends.
I watched the first episode, and the colors of the sky (blue) that the main character draws and the women's paintings that were actually drawn by art students were depicted with great care and color, making it possible to watch the entire episode without any flashy action.
It's a typical drama type, but the inclusion of the element of "art" gives the viewer a lot of new information, and it's very captivating.
Production:Seven Arcs("Magical girl lyrical Nanoha"), Exe.Director: Masunari Koji("MAGI":Director), Director: Asano Katsuya("YU-GI-OH VRAINS":Director), Composition/Screenplay: Yoshida Reiko("Violet Evergarden": Composition), Voice Actors: Mineta Hiromu(Cestvs: The Roman Fighter -:Cestvs), Yamashita Daiki(Yowamushi Pedal:Onoda Sakamichi), Kawanishi Kengo("Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans":Mikazuki Augus), Miyamoto Yume(SSSS.GRIDMAN:Takarada Rikka), Ikumi Hasegawa (”86”:Vladilena Mirize), Koga Aoi ("Kaguya-sama: Love is War":Shinomiya Kaguya), Onishi Saori("Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? ":Aiz Wallenstein) and others.
