January 11, 2022：桂文枝、司会、落語家、桂三輝 (Katsura Bunshi, Host, Traditional Japanese Comic Storyteller, Kastura Sunshine)
I got sad news about my favourite TV moderator, Katsura Bunshi. He announced that he would quit hosting the TV program 'Shinkon-san Irasshai' in March 2022. He has hosted the program and amused the audience for half a century. However, he finds it is time to leave the program since he has recently been unable to communicate with his guests well. I thank him for his long-term efforts to host the TV program.
He is a well-known traditional Japanese comic storyteller, too. He has created many original stories, and I have enjoyed them a lot. After he quits the host, he is determined to focus on the storytelling. The 78-years-old storyteller is full of energy and going to make new original stories. I anticipate the new ones.
He has apprentices. Among them is Katsura Sunshine. He comes from Canada and comically tells traditional Japanese stories in English. His performances are richly comic and make me laugh a lot.
残念なニュースが入ってきました。桂文枝さんが、2022年3月をもって「新婚さんいらっしゃい」の司会役を勇退されます。半世紀に渡ってこの番組を続けてこられ、視聴者を楽しませてこられました。ゲストとうまく対話できなくなってきたため、潮時と判断されたようです。長年に渡る司会に感謝です。
文枝さんは、著名な落語家でもあり、たくさんの創作落語をつくっておられます。師匠の創作落語は面白いです。司会を降りられた後は、落語に集中されるそうです。78歳になられますが、元気いっぱいで新作落語を創作されるようです。今から、楽しみです。
師匠にはお弟子さんがいらっしゃいます、その中の一人が桂三輝（サンシャイン）さんです。三輝さんはカナダ出身で、英語で落語を披露されます。この英語落語が面白く、お笑いです。
いいなと思ったら応援しよう！
