I don't know how "stand-up-show" is defined in foreign countries.
Here is a kind of "Japanese stand-up-show" in English. Do you enjoy it? |
Here is Japanese style MANZAI (Japanese Stand-up comedy?) with English Subtitles.
These two guys have clear role in their style. TOKUI (left side) is called BOKE (idiot) and FUKUDA (right side), TSUKKOMI (pointer out). BOKE plays somewhat idiot and funny things and TSUKKOMI points it out to clarify or to explain for the audience. In this case, TOKUI (BOKE) has his own special funny concern against BBQ especially for the order of the materials and it embarrasses FUKUDA (TSUKKOMI). There are some hard parts to translate marked as "???". First one is "It is up to you that the thoughtless couple go to PACHINKO from the morning". Second one is "It is up to you that elementary school children participate the disaster drill with half smiles". At the "??" part, TOKUI just say 五合（GOGOH: about 900g） as GONGO. |
When you arrive at Japan, some TV crew might welcome you.
"Why did you come to Japan" is a three years old TV show by TV-Tokyo which is Tokyo local TV station and is very good at low budget program. (And TV-Tokyo also made very good business by launching "Pokemon".) Not only at Narita but also at other international airport, they might wait for you. |

KYU-DO (Japanese Archery) demonstration.
You will find many word having -DO at the tail like as JU-DO, Ken-DO, Sa-DO or KA-DO. these "DO" is written as "道" meaning way or path originally. These "DO" came from ancient Chinese philosophy "TAO-ism". TAO is reading of "道" in some era in China. TAO-ism tell us "Everything has the way it should be". This concept is still kept in our mind deeply. |
