kabuki actor

I went to hear a lecture by Kyozo Nakamura, a Kabuki actor.

Kyōzo Nakamura is the person who has performed Kabuki in the most locations around the world (60 cities in 35 countries) in the history of Japanese Kabuki.

I timidly asked him, “Why do you take on performances that might fail and take risks to try new things?”

Mr. Nakamura simply answered with a smile, “I like it.”

Mr. Nakamura said this with a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the happiness of being able to find what he likes, and seeing that smile made me feel happy too.
