Primary

Noh Chanting

Alternative

Noh Chant

Mnemonic

Whatever you say through a satellite turns into Noh chanting. It gets all drawn out and distorted from going through the satellite, which makes it SOUND like Noh chanting at least.

Hints

Say whatever you want and send it up to the satellite. Now imagine listening to it when it comes back and hearing beautiful, deep Noh chanting back!

Mnemonic

While you're fake Noh chanting you have to pause every few minutes to take a bite of yogurt (よう). Yogurt is good for the throat! At least you think it is. It's not like you're actually chanting, the satellite is doing all the real work.

Hints

Watch closely the next time you go to a Noh play. See the man Noh chanting? Watch close enough and you'll see him eat a scoop of yogurt every once in a while.
