In particular, the scene of eating Soba noodles is a masterpiece. It's really amazing. I'm really eating. It looked 🤤💕 delicious lol.
In the afternoon, students from Gokase Secondary School also came to watch, and the venue was filled with ✨ many laughter
A boy of about 5 years old was also laughing out loud, and I felt 😳 that rakugo is a wonderful content regardless of gender or age
They were willing to take commemorative photos, and provided us with a fun time from beginning to end in the 🥹👏 morning and afternoon
I would like you to 🤗✨ hold a rakugo party in Gokase again
