awww Shige.... I understand how you feel about the audience( they can either make or break your performance)

thanks for translating :D

gerbyl March 14 2010, 11:39:13 UTC

yeah, and I think they broke it there one time too often. :(

you're welcome.

poor shige..
thanks for translating!

yeah, I felt like wanting to give him a hug and tell him "don't worry, there's lots of people who aren't like that". :/

you're welcome.

I love that he's the type to take note of propriety, and manners...he's really educated also in that respect. That's probably why it ticks him off to no end that other people don't display that sense because it should come natural. Reading this also made me upset for him, when he put so much effort into his solo play and have people be like that. If they didn't want to pay attention or they weren't that interested, maybe at least they could have given him a modicum of respect at the very least. Isn't that something everyone should keep in mind when watching something?

"Though there was no dress code for my stage play, it might happen that I establish one next time. Yeah, I will. A one-piece dress and bun hairstyle. Ah, this is just my taste." That was cute of Shige though :D :D :D

Thanks for translating and posting!

I love him for being so attentive to manners, as well! I'm also a type like that. For instance when at university, I say "good morning" to my fellow students (even if I'm aware that some of them I don't particulary like, which is a mutual feeling), and they don't even bother to reply with a simple "morning" or something, I'll get upset.

It's like you said, such simple manners, or manners in general should come natural, and in this case, why bother to pay money for something that you don't enjoy or even care about, and even if that's the case, at least show the respect and decency to sit down and shut up until the end.

heh the dress-code was cute yeah, and with that he managed to end the essay on a sweet note rather than an angry or upset one.

Thanks for the translation!

Indeed, having performed before myself, the audience reaction is very important to the success and satisfaction of the show.. It's common courtesy for the audience to respect the performers by giving them the attention they deserves.

gerbyl March 14 2010, 13:17:20 UTC

yeah, that's what I think, just like you, and just like shige thinks that. And probably most of the people with a common sense and manners think so, and it's hard to understand for my, why some people just don't get it. I for example, would naturally feel embarrassed and uncomfortable if my phone would start ringing , be it in a theatre or university/school class or another public thing. I guess you would feel like that, too. It's probably because we have that common sense and manners that we can only feel like that. I wish those audience members he was ranting about would have that, too.

Indeed. I do hope that people who were "noisy" during performances would read Shige's entry and not do that again in the future.

gerbyl March 14 2010, 14:36:12 UTC

yeah maybe, if there is a chance that they'd read his essay, ....maybe then they would feel a bit embarrassed at least.

merii_hydeist March 14 2010, 09:03:38 UTC

awww. Shige. XD

But I'm with him this time. I know the theater etiquette myself since I had theater subjects in college so I really respect the rules and regulations when I watch plays. It's really rude not to follow 'em. I wish the ushers could have reprimanded those guys. >.>

gerbyl March 14 2010, 13:26:00 UTC

yeah, I'm with him on this, too. I think most people with a common sense on respect and manners and that would think so. Even from simple experiences, like maybe doing a speech in school or a report in university, one should know how the behaviour of the audience can affect the presentation and the person up on stage/ in front of them. I really don't get why some people, like the audience members he mentions here, don't get it .
