How do you say “oy vey” in Japanese?
This makes me want to imagine what this would be like as kurosawa film with Toshiro Mifune.
Oi vei!
LOL – that would be the best movie of all times!
I found the clip oddly moving. After all, the basic themes of struggling to preserve tradition and rural village life are a big part of Japanese culture. Also, I love show business.
And, you’ve got to admit, if there were a YouTube of a Yiddish theater adaptation of The Forty-Seven Ronin, I bet the Japanese would find it hilarious.
