If I Were To Sing Politely: a Short Video of Rakugo

This time I'll post a short but interesting video, just for fun! ;)

It is a performance style called rakugo, or 落語(らくご) in Japanese. This video came from Katsura Sunshine (桂(かつら)三輝(サンシャイン)), a Canadian traditional Japanese rakugo comic storyteller [1]. As you may realize, this kind of performance is mainly for entertainment. Specifically for this video, it used an exaggerated as well as amusing way to talk about honorific speech in Japanese.
