Excellent video as always. I've already seen this piece, but the time I saw it, the protagonist (who in the video is played by Kataoka Nizaemon XV) was played by Matsumoto Koshiro X. By the way, I have a doubt related to the video: Seeing his performances and the photos that he appears, I noticed that Kataoka Nizaemon XV seems to be taller than the actors who play opposite him. How tall is Nizaemon XV currently? I'm asking this because I saw a picture of him with two other members of the Matsushimaya acting house, one of them being his nephew, Kataoka Ainosuke VI, who from what I've seen in several photos appears to be the second tallest of all the members of the Matsushimaya guild (Ainosuke VI is 1.72 tall), second only to Nizaemon XV (who is the tallest of all there in the Matsushimaya house). Based on that, then how tall would he (Nizaemon XV) actually be?
I'm impressed by both the story and the cast! Anything with Kataoka Nizaemon and the late Nakamura Jakuemon is bound to be a success!
Ise Ondo by far is one of my favorite summer plays
Amazing to see that "Ripped From the Headlines" theater went back so far!
That was very exciting indeed and great cast! Many thanks!

Is the music in background Genroku hanami odori ? At the beginning it's that but later it seems to be different.
