COMMENTS FROM THE JUDGES
"Listening to the same story repeatedly in one sitting can be a real chore. However, surprisingly NOT in this competition. Although each contestant took turns to tell the same story and joke, I never have been so entertained, as each contestant brought out their personal interpretation of the story’s characters. I was also bowled over by the interesting and creative intro whipped up by some contestants. One of them was just a Form 1 student! My compliments to ALL contestants! 大変お疲れさまでした。
I only wish that the contestants could have pay more attention to which direction they should face when changing roles. This is critical as it would help enhance the audience’s imagination. A suggestion was raised by a member judge to conduct a Rakugo Introduction Workshop at JLfest prior to the competition, of which I couldn't agree more."

"Storytelling adalah satu kemahiran yang bukan semua orang memilikinya, apatah lagi sekiranya dipersembahkan dalam bahasa asing – bahasa Jepun. Memerlukan usaha tambahan antaranya gabungan kemahiran - penguasaan sebutan yang tepat, penghayatan jalan cerita yang jelas, pemahaman setiap struktur ayat yang betul malah perlu memiliki imaginasi budaya Jepun. Bukan sedikit tenaga dan masa telah diluangkan. Semua ini bermula dari keazaman dan kegigihan para pelajar dan pengajar demi mempersembahkan yang terbaik. SYABAS dan YOKU GANBARIMASHITA NE!
Semoga lebih ramai lagi pelajar yang berbakat dan berkemahiran mempersembahkan Storytelling Bahasa Jepun dapat dilahirkan dan jumpa lagi pada JLFEST tahun hadapan."

「本当にすばらしいパフォーマンスをありがとうございました。出場してくださったみなさんがそれぞれ、頭の中で思い描いたキャラクターを生き生きと演じていて、見ていてとても引き込まれました。練習時間も短く、先生に直接指導が受けられないというハンディのある中で、あれだけできる皆さんはすごいと思いました。好きなお話を覚えて演じることは、日本語の上達にもとても役に立ちます。是非これからも、自分の好きなアニメやドラマ、お話などを探して、挑戦してみてくださいね。」
