Kokoro plays Tokisoba very well.
Mai and I celebrate Kokoro’s birthday with Kokoro’s family together. I’ve heard legends of Kokoro from Mai so many times. So I was really exited to meet Kokoro today.
I offered Kokoro a match of Rakugo. I played the first half of Tokisoba. I admit, I was mistake on many parts. And then, Kokoro played later half very well. It was very fun and accurate. I surely understood. I really inspired by Kokoro’s wonderful talents for storytelling and playing.
Now, let me write about Toki Soba in English more a bit. For study.
“Tokisoba” is the story in Edo era in Japan. The stupid guy have witnessed when the great cheater was cheating payment for noodle at a food truck on the street. He trying to cheat payment in stupid way. The way is like this, to pay for coins counting one by one. After 8th coin paid ask “what time it is now.” You got the answer, “9.” Then, you can say 10 and pay next coin to skip one.
Anyway, I need to improve not only my English but humor more.
