Hehehehehe, ILm so predictable... :mrgreen: :hehe:

So what are you doing now?

Well, ILm ending the 4th year of my graduation in Japanese/Portuguese Literature and Languages, almost on the end of my research on Eisa (Okinawan dance/music) groups, and work at a school for now. ThatLs it. :mrgreen:

That's great... Omedeto gozaimasu!

Sounds like a far cry from law, but it sounds like you're a whole lot happier. :victory:

Hehehe, thanks a lot!!! :hug:
Yeah, I must say ILm much, much happier now. As I said, a time for a reflection is necessary sometimes. :mrgreen: :victory:

Yup. :victory:

Hope you have more time to visit in the future. :)

Hi Betsy,
You probaby won't remember my name but I am so glad that you are still living a good life. I always loved your posts and especially the Musashi thread and the photos.
I was horrified at what happened to Ebizo. Those late night drinking sessions can get dangerous. I hope he will recover completely. He is too great in Kabuki to lose any physical strength.
I think his form of acting must be so punishing mentally as well as the actual performance onstage. There can be no letdown in such a traditional family in the theatre. He has my admiration and sympathy.
Please stay around for awhile. :-)
Peggy

Tanjobi omedeto, Ebizo-kun... :victory:

I'm expecting Betsy-chan to make a post here today... :mrgreen:

Supposedly he got beat up by bosozoku two weeks ago.

Yeah, that's what Betsy-chan was posting about, starting on the previous page. :)

Not taking sides here, but word is that Ichikawa Ebizo rearranged some Johnny's face (YamaPi's?) at said melee so Johnny K. sent his hired goons to retaliate. Allegedly. Or mebbe the bouncer did it. Who really knows for sure? :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, today is EbizoLs birthday. Though the mood is not for party, ojanyoubi omedetou gozaimasu!!! I hope things get better from now on... :hug:

Oh gosh, the gossip s**t is getting worse day by day... :doh: Soon will come someone saying that Ebizo has beated prime-minister and was beaten back by his guards... :crazy:
I refuse to read all these bulls**t... And I wonLt change a single word of what I said some posts ago.

I didn't read anything about bosozoku being involved until it was on the news last night.

He actually got beat up by Ryoko Hirosue from Yasuko to Kenji

There was an item about Ebizo on NHK today (wish I had the video). Looks to be in pretty good shape all things considered:http://www.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/society.html

Man, being a Kabuki actor is absolutely NOT EASY. ItLs not about pursuing a simple artistc career, IT`S A REAL MENTAL AND PHYSICAL CHALLENGE.

Slightly OT, I wonder if that's why Nakamura Shido is such a womanizer?

Yup... From that pic, you couldn't even tell that he got beat up.
