The Show Not to Watch, But to Join!

Gamarjobat, the silent-comedy performer who was chosen to be one
of the most respectable 100 Japanese, has returned to DAIDOGEI
World Cup in Shizuoka.

The show they performed was, for the audience, not just to watch,
but to join! Without using the prepared stage, they made their own
stage right on the field where we the audience were. More than
half of the audience were, I guess, big fans or the people who have
heard about their good reputation before, and their way of taking
part in and enjoying the show had a kind of really impressive, fierce
warmth. Even the people who just happened to meet the show were
caught up in the explosion of laughter! Actually us reporters were
also caught up in it and forgot to take pictures (our apologies).

Every moment was a source of laughter! You can never miss even a
single moment! Once it started, never stoped and rau up to the very
end with funny excitement.

The most important point for Gamarjobat to perform is to be a part
of the audience, to have the audience be a part of them, and to get
everyone to feel the greatness of a live perfprmance.

Preparing a good story and performance, they sometimes change
the details as they feel the response of the audience.

This is what makes them professionals! Check it out!

Diabolo Performance with a taste of Asia　Tony Frebourg

You can catch a glimpse of the attraction of Tony's performance
even from warm-up. Tony Frebourg, covering himself with Hakama
(Asian trousers), began his performance using a fan with mysterious
dance.



Tony said that he likes Japan, and he could move easily with the
Hakama (though it looks immobile.)

After 12 years practice, he is one of the best diabolo performers in
the world. It is worth watching his performance with 4 diabolos in
particular. The mixture of acrobatic and diabolo performance will
surely attract all the audiences!!!

Fantastic Juggling by "Kikyo Brothers"

You've gotta see the wonderful juggling by "Kikyo Brothers"!!

This is there first time to perform in Shizuoka. They perform not
only club juggling but also juggle balls and diabolo too.

They are very famous by doing "10 Club Passing", which only a few
jugglers have succeed in Japan. During this event, they will go for
11 clubs, so you must check it out!

They said that they respect Yabe Ryo and Victor Kee, who are also
performing in this event.

You can't miss their fantastic world class juggling!!
