お恥ずかしながら
僕の幼少の環境下には
落語は存在せず

また周りには
落語を楽しむ様な
粋な人間は居なかった

あー、表現を変えると

僕に影響を
与え得る人間達には

落語を楽しみ
その楽しさを
子供に伝え切れる人は
居なかった訳なんです

そんな僕に
面白さを教えて下さったのは
宮藤官九郎さん

そう彼の最高傑作
「Tiger ＆ Dragon」です

あいにく
「三枚起請」は観られず
以降のレギュラークール
を視ました

すっかりハマって
再放送時には
ＨＤＤに録画シて
太陽誘電のＤＶＤ－Ｒに焼いて
後生大事に
何度も観たのです

もちろん
御多分に漏れず
寄席にも行きました

いま想えば不運にも
顔見世興行

ガッツリとタップリ
ネタを観ると謂うより
サラッとホンモノに触れる
そんな会でした

ガッツリ愉しんだのは
大銀座落語祭と
日比谷公会堂での
春風亭小朝師匠の独演会

ガツンと喰らって来ましたよ
メチャクチャ楽しかったです！

I am ashamed to admit that
In my childhood environment
Rakugo did not exist

And there was no one around me
And there were no chic people around me who enjoyed rakugo.

Well, let me put it this way.

To put it another way.
The people who could influence me

To enjoy rakugo
and pass that enjoyment on to their children.

The person who taught me the joy of rakugo
Mr.Kankuro Kudo

Yes, his masterpiece
"Tiger & Dragon".

Unfortunately
I couldn't see "Sanmai Kisyho".
but I watched his regular
after that.

I was hooked.
When it was replayed
I recorded it on my HDD
and burn it to a Taiyo Yuden DVD-R
to cherish for the rest of my life.
I watched it over and over again.

Of course
as many of you know
I went to the theater

Now that I think about it, I had the misfortune
I went to a show for the first time in my life

Gutsy and full of energy
rather than watching a story
it was more like a casual encounter with the real thing
It was such a meeting

I enjoyed it with gusto...
at the Ginza Rakugo Festival and
at Hibiya Public Hall
Shunputei Koasa's solo performance at Hibiya Kokaido

We got our fill!
It was a lot of fun!
