Do something interesting for my 6 second vid.'Kay, start!Wha? Ah..erm...RakugoStory tellingTo be continuedIn a row house in Kanda, there were an old mother and Yotaro. Despite his skills, he was incredibly slow and lazy. One day, concerned about Yotaro, who hadn't shown up for work recently, the foreman, Masagoro, went to check on him at the row house.

"Never mind that, it's better than nothing. Of course, it's better! Absolutely! If you keep saying 'of course, it's better,' you'll never finish your story. So here, it's better! This solves everything.""I see, that's useful. Of course, it's better! Haha, if you're an Edoite, you should use 'of course, it's better!' Got it? Then hurry up and go to Genroku!" "Okay, okay, I got it. Of course, it's better!" "What a useful phrase! It solves everything! Hey landlord! Hey landlord! Why are you making such a fuss? People these days, causing trouble...""Gold-Lined Bamboo" (Kinmeichiku [金明竹]), one of the classic Rakugo.
