English: Storytellers in Tokyo largely fall into two organizations, the Rakugo Kyokai Association or the Rakugo Art Association.
Japanese: 東京の落語家は、概ね落語協会や落語芸術協会といった所属団体によって色分けされている。
English: In Kamigata, on the other hand, storytellers belong to entertainment companies, including Yoshimoto Kogyo, Shochiku Geino Co., Ltd., and Office Beicho, resulting from Kamigata rakugo's peculiar development after the War.
Japanese: 上方の落語家は、戦後の経緯から、吉本興業や松竹芸能、米朝事務所などの所属芸能事務所によって色分けされている。
English: Some join a different company from the one to which most of the family belong (e.g. Nikaku SHOFUKUTEI, Kacho TSUKITEI or Shohei SHOFUKUTEI).
Japanese: 一門の多数とは異なる事務所に属するものがいる（笑福亭仁鶴、月亭可朝、笑福亭笑瓶など）。
English: Others set up their own firms (e.g. Bunbuku KATSURA and Senkitsu TACHIBANAYA - IV).
Japanese: 個人事務所を構えたり（桂文福、立花家千橘(4代目)など）するものもいる。
English: However, most of the storytellers who belong to the Kamigata Rakugo Association cooperate with one another regardless of their companies when they perform at the Tenma Tenjin Hanjotei Theater or when they take part in 'Hikohachi Festival.'
Japanese: しかし、大多数の落語家は上方落語協会の会員であり、天満天神繁昌亭への出演や「彦八まつり」への参加などでは事務所の枠を超えて協力し合っている。
English: For this reason, the problem of "the rivalries among entertainment companies," which is common among stand-up or slapstick comedians, or who cause difficulties in assigning personalities to TV programs, is not so conspicuous, if not nonexistent, in the rakugo industry.
Japanese: この事もあり、漫才やコントなどの他の上方演芸ではよく見られ、テレビ番組の出演者編成でも時にネックとなる『所属芸能事務所間の壁』というものについても、落語界では決して絶無ではないがそれほど高くないとされている。
English: This association was established by Somezo HAYASHIYA III who left the Kamigata Rakugo Association on account of his feud with the Big Four (especially with Shokaku VI).
Japanese: これは四天王（特に6代目松鶴）との確執などで上方落語協会を脱退した3代目林家染三が設立したものである。
English: As an umbrella organization for the Kamigata entertainment industry, there is the Kansai Engei Association where many rakugo storytellers belong.
Japanese: なお上方演芸全般の組織として関西演芸協会があり、落語家も多数所属する。
English: From Meiji to the early Showa period, there was the 'Kobaitei Theater' (previously known as 'Imaga no Seki' or 'Izukuma no Seki,' subsequently acquired by Yoshimoto Kogyo and was renamed 'West Kagetsutei Theater') that epitomized the Sanyu school of rakugo in the northern part of South Osaka around the Hozen-ji Temple in Osaka City.
Japanese: 明治時代から昭和初期の大阪市内、特にミナミ法善寺周辺には、北側に三友派の象徴であった「紅梅亭」（旧称「今嘉の席」「泉熊の席」、後に吉本興業が買収し「西花月亭」）があった。
English: Embodying the Katsura school, 'Nanchi Kanazawatei Theater' (which became 'Nanchi Kagetsu Theater' after it was bought by Yoshimoto Kogyo) existed in the southern part of South Osaka.
Japanese: 南側に桂派の象徴であった「南地金沢亭」（同じく吉本の買収後「南地花月」）が存在した。
English: There were a dozen rakugo theaters, including 'Eirakukan Theater' (which became 'Kitashinchi Kagetsu Club' after purchased by Yoshimoto Kogyo) in Kitashinchi, North Osaka, in Uehon-machi, Horie (Osaka City), Matsuya-machi, Shin-machi (Osaka City), Matsushima Red-Light District and around the Osaka Tenman-gu Shrine.
Japanese: 他にもキタ北新地の「永楽館」（同じく吉本の買収後「北新地花月倶楽部」）はじめ、上本町、堀江(大阪市)、松屋町、新町(大阪市)、松島遊廓、大阪天満宮界隈などに十数軒の落語専門定席が存在していた。
English: Starting with the 'Daini Bungei Kan Theater' (later 'Tenman Kagetsu Yoshikawa Kan' after its takeover by Yoshimoto Kogyo) in Tenman-gu, these were purchased one after another by Yoshimoto Kogyo and gradually shifted to stand-up comedies.
Japanese: 天満宮の「第二文芸館」（同じく吉本の買収後「天満花月吉川館」）を皮切りに順次吉本に買収された事により、次第に漫才中心の興行内容にシフトしていった。
English: During the Pacific War, rakugo theaters were open only four hours a day, partly because many storytellers entertained the soldiers at the front, and partly because they were advanced in years.
Japanese: 太平洋戦争時は戦地への慰問や落語家の高齢化に伴い寄席も一日4時間ほどしか開演していなかった。
English: The shortage of performers was covered by Kingoro HAYASHIYA, Mikimatsu YANAGIYA and others who were sent by the Tokyo branch of Yoshimoto Kogyo to Osaka.
Japanese: 足りない芸人などは東京吉本から、柳家金語楼、柳家三亀松等を呼び寄せた。
English: Yet, some were shut down as the War became more intense and the rest were burned down by the Osaka Air Raid.
Japanese: しかし戦争の激化により一部は閉鎖され、残った寄席も大阪大空襲によって灰塵に帰した。
English: The following theaters then opened in Osaka: 'Sennichi Gekijo Theater' which developed from 'Ebisu Matsu,' Shochiku Geino's theaters, 'Dotonbori Kadoza,' 'Engei no Naniwaza' (in Dotonbori) and 'Shinkagetsu' (in Shinsekai, Osaka), Yoshimoto Kogyo's 'Nanba Kagetsu,' 'Umeda Kagetsu,' and Toho's 'Top Hot Theater' where many performers of KA Production appeared.
Japanese: その後も戎松の後身の「千日劇場」や、松竹芸能系の「道頓堀角座」「演芸の浪花座」（道頓堀）「新花月」（新世界(大阪)）、吉本興業系の「なんば花月」「うめだ花月」、東宝系でケーエープロダクションの芸人が多く出演した「トップホットシアター」が開場。
English: In Shinkyogoku, Kyoto Prefecture, 'Fuki (Yose) Theater,' 'Kyoraku Theater' and 'Kyoto Kagetsu Theater' opened.
Japanese: 京都・新京極には「富貴(寄席)」「京洛劇場」「京都花月劇場」ができた。
English: In front of Hyogo Station in Kobe 'Yose Palace Theater' opened and in Shinkaichi 'Kobe Shochikuza Theater' opened.
Japanese: 神戸・兵庫駅前に「寄席のパレス」、新開地に「神戸松竹座」などが開場した。
English: Concerned that the absence of a theater dedicated to rakugo might lead to the loss of Kamigata rakugo, the Kamigata Rakugo Association under the initiative of the Chairman Shokaku SHOFUKUTEI held 'Shimanouchi Yose Theater' five days a month, beginning in February 1972 at the Shimanouchi Church in Sennen-cho, Chuo Ward (Osaka Prefecture).
Japanese: 落語専門定席の不在が上方落語の滅亡につながる事を懸念した上方落語協会は、会長・笑福亭松鶴の主導の下、中央区(大阪市)千年町の島之内教会を借りて、1972年（昭和47年）2月より、月5日の「島之内寄席」を開催。
English: The association identified the Shimanouchi Yose Theater as rakugo-specific theater where storytellers of all affiliations, whether entertainment companies or TV stations (with which famous storytellers had exclusive contracts), could perform.
Japanese: 芸能事務所や放送局（当時、一部の名のある落語家は放送局と専属契約を交わしていた）の枠を超えた定席として位置づけた。
English: Subsequently, the Shimanouchi Yose Theater moved to various places: Brother Mishin Building (in Shinsaibashi) in April, 1974, the bowling stadium in the basement of Senba Center Building in December 1974, Daiei Kyobashi Store in June 1975 where the performance period was shortened to three days a month.
Japanese: その後「島之内寄席」は会場を転々とし、1974年（昭和49年）4月にブラザーミシンビル（心斎橋）、同年12月に船場センタービル地下のボウリング場、1975年（昭和50年）6月にはダイエー京橋店へと移り、月3日興行に短縮された。
English: In April 1984 the Shimanouchi Theater moved to a Japanese restaurant called 'Shibaraku' in Tatamiya-machi, Minami Ward, thus returning to 'Shimanouchi.'
Japanese: 1984年（昭和59年）4月に南区畳屋町にある料亭「暫」に移転し、「島之内」に復帰した。
English: Only three years later, however, 'Shibaraku' was shut down for refurbishment, so in 1987 the Theater moved to CB College in Shinsaibashi, where a performance was given only one day a month.
Japanese: しかし3年後には「暫」がビル改装のため閉鎖、1987年（昭和62年）に心斎橋のCBカレッジへ移り、ついに月1日興行となった。
English: After moving to Isshinji Theater in Tennoji in 1993, the Shimanouchi Yose Theater moved to the lesson room of the Osaka Prefectural Museum of Kamigata Comedy and Performing Arts which opened in 1996.
Japanese: 1993年（平成5年）に天王寺の一心寺シアターへ移った後、1996年（平成8年）のワッハ上方開館に伴いレッスンルームへ移転。
English: In 2005 it changed the venue to the Wahha Hall where it continues to this day although a performance is given only once a month.
Japanese: 2005年（平成17年）にワッハホールへと会場を移し、月1日興行ながら現在も続いている。
English: From 1999 to 2000 the Kamigata Rakugo Association and the Friends of Rokyoku lobbied the Agency for Cultural Affairs for the establishment of a national engei hall in Osaka as in Tokyo.
Japanese: 1999年（平成11年）から2000年（平成12年）にかけて、上方落語協会は浪曲親友協会などと共に、大阪に東京同様の国立演芸場の開設を求めて文化庁などに働きかけを行った。
English: This resulted in 'Kamigata Engei Special Program' held at the small hall of the National Bunraku Theater in the odd months.
Japanese: 結果として、現在、国立文楽劇場小ホールで奇数月に開かれている「上方演芸特選会」として実を結んだ。
English: When Sanshi KATSURA became Chairman of the Kamigata Rakugo Association, it was finally materialized as the 'Tenma Tenjin Hanjotei Theater' opened in the northern part of the Osaka Tenman-gu Shrine's precincts on September 15, 2006.
Japanese: 上方落語協会が桂三枝体制に入ると具体化し、2006年（平成18年）9月15日に「天満天神繁昌亭」が大阪天満宮境内北側に開席。
English: Thirty-two years after the Shimanouchi Yose Theater left the Shimanouchi Church and sixty-one years after the Osaka Air Raid, the rakugo theater was finally restored both in form and content.
Japanese: 「島之内寄席」が島之内教会を離れて32年、大阪大空襲から61年を経て落語専門定席は名実共に復活した。
English: Currently, the Kamigata Rakugo Association identifies the Tenma Tenjin Hanjotei Theater in North Osaka and the Shimanouchi Yose Theater in South as two wheels of yose theater that it organizes.
Japanese: 現在、上方落語協会ではキタの天満天神繁昌亭とミナミの島之内寄席を、協会主催寄席の両輪と位置づけている。
English: Rakugo programs are given as part of performances at various engei halls like 'Nanba Grand Kagetsu' and 'B1 Kadoza,' which are not genuine rakugo theaters.
Japanese: なお、純然たる落語専門定席ではないが、「なんばグランド花月」、「B1角座」などの演芸場でも落語のプログラムが組み込まれている。

English: In 2008 Nanba Grand Kagetsu began to hold a regular program where only rakugo storytellers appeared.
Japanese: 2008年、なんばグランド花月で落語家のみの興行が定期的に行われるようになった。
English: Yoshimoto Kogyo offers a rakugo program entitled 'Hanahana Yose' held every afternoon (starting at 12:30) from Monday to Friday at 'Umeda Kagetsu,' and where young performers who either belong to Yoshimoto Kogyo or are free-lancers, appear.
Japanese: その他にも吉本興業は「うめだ花月」で月曜日から金曜まで昼の時間（12：30から）のみ「花花寄席」題して吉本所属・フリーの若手中心で構成されたプログラムを行なっている。
English: This program is now held at 'Yoshimoto ∞ Hall in Osaka' within the 'Nanba Grand Kagetsu' after the 'Umeda Kagetsu' was closed.
Japanese: 現在は「うめだ花月」の閉館で「なんばグランド花月」内にある「ヨシモト∞ホール大阪」で毎週土曜に開催。
English: The Kansai Engei Association chaired by Fukudanji KATSURA is planning to organize a rakugo program at the Hozenji-Temple.
Japanese: その他にも桂福團治が会長の関西演芸協会が法善寺に定席をつくる構想もある。
English: While the restoration of rakugo theaters was hard to achieve, community-based rakugo workshops and independent rakugo programs were often held in the mid 1970s onward.
Japanese: 落語定席の復活がなかなか実現しない一方で、昭和40年代より地域に密着した勉強会や自主公演が盛んに行われた。
English: The practice began with 'Iwata Yose' (in Higashiosaka City) which continued from August 1972 to August 1992 under the initiative of Yonenosuke KATSURA (III).
Japanese: 1972年（昭和47年）8月から1992年（平成4年）8月まで桂米之助(3代目)が主宰した「岩田寄席」（東大阪市）がその始まりとされる。
English: The oldest are the following two: 'Sakai Otabi Yose' (Sakai City) which Nanryo KYOKUDO began in July 1974 (and suspended in March 2005 and later revived in a different place, offering kodan and rakugo storytelling) and 'Tanabe Yose' which began in September 1974 and continues to this day, (held in Osaka City and run by Bunta KATSURA and his friends).
Japanese: 1974年（昭和49年）7月に始まった旭堂南陵主宰の「堺おたび寄席」（堺市、2005年3月に中断したが場所を代えて復活、講談と落語の会）と同年9月から続く「田辺寄席」（大阪市、桂文太と世話人会が運営）は最古参。
English: There are many other programs, including 'Motomachi Yose Rengatei' (held by Harukoma KATSURA in Kobe City), 'Beicho KATSURA Rakugo Workshop' (held by the Beicho KATSURA family in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City), 'Amagasaki Rakugo Workshop' (organized by the Beicho KATSURA family in Amagasaki City) and 'Kyoto Citizen's Yose' (in Kyoto City).
Japanese: 「もとまち寄席恋雅亭」（神戸市、世話人は桂春駒）、「桂米朝落語研究会」（京都市東山区、桂米朝一門主宰）「尼崎落語研究会」（尼崎市、桂米朝一門主宰）、「京都市民寄席」（京都市）をはじめ数多く行われる。
English: Kyoto Sanga F.C. (京都サンガF.C.) is a professional football (soccer) club which is based in Kyoto City, Japan, and is affiliated with the Japan Professional Football League (J. League for short).
Japanese: 京都サンガF.C.（きょうとサンガエフシー、KyotoSangaFC）は、日本の京都市にホームを置く、日本プロサッカーリーグ（Jリーグ）に加盟するプロサッカークラブ。
English: The original club was established as Kyoto Shiko Club (京都紫光クラブ, of which 紫光 means purple light, and the name was at first put down as 紫郊クラブ) in 1922, and is the oldest team belonging to the J. League in Japan.
Japanese: 前身は1922年設立の京都紫光クラブ（設立時の名称は紫郊クラブ）でJリーグ所属のチームとしては日本最古。
English: In 1993, the club was divided into two teams: one was "Kyoikukenkyusha FC Kyoto Purple Sanga" (from which "FC Kyoto BAMB 1993" was separated in the next year, 1994, and which was organized mainly by the trainees of Sanga), and the other was the amateur "Kyoto Shiko Club."
Japanese: 1993年に「教育研究社FC京都パープルサンガ」（翌1994年にサンガの練習生を中心に結成したチーム「FC京都BAMB1993を分離）とアマチュアの「京都紫光クラブ」に分割した。
English: In the same year, 1993, the J. League, the first professional football league in Japan, began and a boom in soccer occurred all over Japan.
Japanese: 同じく1993年には日本初のプロサッカーリーグ・Jリーグが開幕し、日本中が空前のJリーグブームに沸き上がった。
English: With that enthusiasm, the demand for "organizing a J. League team in Kyoto" increased, and "the Association for organizing a J. League team in Kyoto" collected about 250,000 signatures.
Japanese: その中で「京都にもJリーグチームを」という声が高まり、「京都にJリーグを市民の会」が約25万人の署名を集めた。
English: As a result of these activities, in January of the next year, 1994, an operating company "Kyocera Purple Sanga Corporation" was established with investments by local businesses such as Kyocera Corporation and Nintendo Co., Ltd. as the main sponsors, and in July of the same year, the company obtained approval for J. League Associate Membership, so a J. League team was ready to be born in Kyoto which would be the hometown of the team.
Japanese: それを受け、翌1994年1月に京セラ・任天堂を中心とした地元企業出資による運営会社「株式会社京セラパープルサンガ」設立、同年7月にはJリーグ準加盟制度の承認を受け、京都をホームタウンとするJリーグチーム誕生の準備が整った。
English: In the next season, 1995, the team achieved second place in the Japan Football League, and was promoted to the J. League for the 1996 season.
Japanese: 翌1995年シーズンのジャパンフットボールリーグで2位となり、1996年シーズンからのJリーグ昇格が決定した。
English: On entry into the J. League, the club strengthened itself by obtaining players who had experienced playing in the J. League, such as Shunzo ONO (a football player) and Yoshiaki SATO, and they were highly motivated to play the opening game of 1996.
Japanese: Jリーグ参入にあたって大野俊三(サッカー選手)や佐藤慶明といったJリーグ経験者を補強し、満を持して迎えた1996年の開幕戦。
English: They played against Verdy Kawasaki (at present, Tokyo Verdy) which had been in a golden age in those days, and although they lost the game by a score of 1-0, the performance in the game led people to be hopeful about the future of the club.
Japanese: 当時黄金時代を迎えていた東京ヴェルディと対戦し1-0で敗れはしたものの、試合内容は将来への期待を抱かせるものだった。
English: But in spite of these expectations, the team lost one game after another repeatedly to eventually set an unwanted record of a 17-game losing streak from the opening game of the season, so the manager, Jose Oscar Bernardi, was fired in the middle of the season
Japanese: しかしそういった期待とは逆にチームは次々と負けを重ね、ついにシーズン開幕後17連敗という不名誉な記録をつくってしまい、ジョゼ・オスカー・ベルナルディ監督もシーズン途中で解任された。
English: To help the team out of difficulties, Ruy RAMOS suddenly transferred from Verdy in May.
Japanese: そんなチームを救うべく、5月にはラモス瑠偉がヴェルディから電撃移籍。
English: He livened up the team, together with Shinji FUJIYOSHI and Takayuki YAMAGUCHI who transferred from the same Verdy as if they had followed him.
Japanese: 後を追うように移籍してきた同じヴェルディの藤吉信次や山口貴之とともにチームを活気づけた。
English: In 1997, the club invited Pedro Virgilio Rocha FRANCHETTI as manager to make a fresh start, but both of the new foreign players, Carlos Alberto de OLIVEIRA "Capone" and Cleber Eduardo ARADO, turned out to be less able than the expectations, and as if to make things worse, RAMOS, who had been the mental mainstay, left the team to bringing about a midair disintegration of the team.
Japanese: 1997年はペドロ・ローシャ監督を招聘し心機一転をはかったが、カルロス・アルベルト・デ・オリベイラ・クレーベル・エドゥアルド・アラードの両外国人選手が期待はずれに終わり、追い討ちをかけるように精神的支柱だったラモスが退団してチームは空中分解。
English: It can be said that the only happy news was that Yoshihiro NISHIDA was selected as a candidate for the Japan national football team.
Japanese: 西田吉洋がサッカー日本代表候補に選ばれたことが唯一の明るいニュースだったといえる。
English: Before the 1998 season, the club invited the former manager of the Japan national football team, Hans OOFT, as manager, and in addition to that, acquired experienced former members of the Japan national football team in succession, such as Hajime MORIYASU, Teruo IWAMOTO, Takahiro YAMADA and Hisashi KUROSAKI, and this became a topic at the time.
Japanese: 1998年のシーズン前、元日本代表監督のハンス・オフトを監督に迎え、さらには森保一、岩本輝雄、山田隆裕、黒崎久志といった日本代表経験者を次々と獲得し話題となった。
English: But in spite of these reinforcements, the ranking of the team did not improve and stayed as low as ever, so OOFT resigned his position as manager as early as June.
Japanese: しかし派手な補強とは逆に、相変わらずチームは下位に低迷し、オフト監督も6月には早々と退任した。
English: The team entered the 2nd stage with the system of manager Hidehiko SHIMIZU and earned more wins than losses with great difficulties, but the result was that it was barely able to avoid the J1qualification tournament thanks to the dissolution of Yokohama Flugels.
Japanese: 清水秀彦監督体制で迎えた2ndステージこそ勝ち越したが、横浜フリューゲルスの消滅でようやくJ1参入決定戦をまぬがれるという有様だった。
English: In the next year, 1999, the team still stayed low in the 1st stage, but in the 2nd stage, it invited Shu KAMO as manager, who was also a former manager of the Japan national football team and acquired Kazuyoshi MIURA who had just came back from the Republic of Croatia, with the result that they achieved ninth position, which was the first single digit ranking since the promotion to the J. League.
Japanese: 翌1999年は1stステージこそ低迷したが、やはり元日本代表監督の加茂周を監督に迎え、クロアチア帰りの三浦知良を獲得した2ndステージは9位と、Jリーグ昇格後初の1桁順位となった。
English: But as the team had attempted to strengthen itself in a haphazard way by getting outstanding players from other teams, in 2000 it fell into the situation where it would have to pay for it after all
Japanese: しかし、他チームから有力選手を獲得して場当たり的にチーム強化を図っていたツケがとうとう2000年になって回ってきた。
English: This being effective, in the 2001 season the young players like Teruaki KUROBE, Daisuke MATSUI and Ji-Sung PARK had emerged as leading members, and the team won the league title of J2 and achieved a comeback to J1 after only one year.
Japanese: そのことが功を奏し、2001年シーズンは黒部光昭や松井大輔、朴智星といった若い力が台頭しJ2で優勝、1年でのJ1復帰を果たした。
English: KUROBE scored 30 goals and was second in the goal ranking of J2 that year.
Japanese: 黒部はこの年に30得点を挙げ、J2得点ランキング第2位となっている。
English: In 2002, the club played in J1 again, and although it lost four straight games from the very opening of the season, under Manager Gert Josef Arthur ENGELS, not only the above-mentioned three players, including KUROBE, but also the players up from the subordinate organization like Naohito HIRAI and Makoto KAKUDA did a very good job, and the team was splendidly positioned fifth in the annual standings of the league, not to speak of staying in J1.
Japanese: 再びJ1で戦うこととなった2002年は、開幕直後こそ4連敗するものの、ゲルト・エンゲルス監督のもと、黒部をはじめとする前述の3選手に加えて平井直人、角田誠といった下部組織出身の選手も活躍、J1残留どころか堂々のリーグ戦年間順位5位となる。
English: Moreover, in the Emperor's Cup All-Japan Soccer Championship Tournament, the team defeated Kashima Antlers which would have won its tenth title, and brought the first title to a team based in Kansai after the J. League had been established.
Japanese: そして天皇杯全日本サッカー選手権大会では10冠を目前とした鹿島アントラーズを破り、関西チームにJリーグ発足後初のタイトルをもたらした。
English: The 2003 season, when the team lost Ji-Sung PARK, who had been the pivot of the attack for the team, began with the troubles of the mainstay Teruaki KUROBE, followed by the utter disappointment in Jong-Su KO who was a star from the Republic of Korea and had been expected as a successor to Ji-Sung PARK, so that the team was not able to have a win, almost as if the remarkable results of the previous year had been a falsehood.
Japanese: チームの攻撃の要だった朴智星を失った2003年シーズンは大黒柱黒部光昭の故障に始まり、朴智星の後釜として期待された大韓民国のファンタジスタ高宗秀は全くの期待はずれと、昨年の躍進ぶりが嘘のように勝ち星をあげられなかった。
English: Young Daisuke MATSUI was not able to make a breakthrough in this situation by himself, and the fact that manager ENGELS and his successor, manager Pim VERBEEK were dismissed immediately, indicated that the team had strayed.
Japanese: 若い松井大輔一人ではこの局面を打開できずエンゲルス監督、そして後任のピム・ファーベーク監督も早々と解任されるなどチームは迷走した。
English: In the 2004 season, the club set a goal to be promoted to J1 after one year, and got Yong-Soo CHOI from JEF United Ichihara Chiba.
Japanese: 1年でJ1昇格を目標として迎えた2004年シーズンはジェフユナイテッド市原・千葉から崔龍洙を獲得。
English: The club invited Akihiro NISHIMURA (the former GM of Cerezo Osaka) as manager, and KUROBE and MATSUI remained in the team, so that most people forecasted that the team would certainly be promoted to J1.
Japanese: 西村昭宏（前セレッソ大阪GM）を監督に迎え、黒部・松井も残留し昇格は間違いなしというのが大方の予想だった。
English: Then, the club invited Koichi HASHIRATANI as manager and whose hometown was Kyoto like the club, but partly because KUROBE got injured too often to do a very good job satisfactorily, the team finished fifth in the end.
Japanese: その後、地元京都出身の柱谷幸一を監督に迎えるも、黒部が怪我がちで満足に活躍できなかったこともあり5位に終わった。
English: The club had gotten leading members of rival teams such as Daisuke HOSHI, Kenichiro META and Daishi KATO, and both of the foreign players, Paulo Antonio De OLIVEIRA "Paulinho" and Carlos Adriano De JESUS SOARES "Alemao," scored a lot of goals, so that the team ran far ahead of the other teams with overwhelming strength from the early stages of the season.
Japanese: 星大輔、米田兼一郎、加藤大志といったライバルチームの主力を獲得し、パウロ・アントニオ・デ・オリベイラ、カルロス・アドリアーノ・デ・ジョス・ソアレスの両外国人助っ人が得点を量産し、圧倒的な強さで序盤から首位を独走。
English: When there were seven games left, the team made it certain that it would be positioned in the top two of the annual ranking, and it was concluded that the team would return to J1 after an interval of two seasons.
Japanese: 7試合を残して2位以内を確定させ、2シーズンぶりのJ1復帰が決定した。
English: The team won the J2 championship for the second time overall in the 39th game, and if it had won the final game, it would have attained more points than 99 after Kawasaki Frontale in 2004, but it was defeated by Ventforet Kofu by 1-2 and failed to attain those points.
Japanese: 第39節には通算2回目の優勝を決め、最終節に勝利すれば、2004年の川崎フロンターレに次いでシーズン勝点100以上を達成となったが、1-2でヴァンフォーレ甲府に敗れ、達成には至らなかった。
English: Because the team made a demonstration of the ability to score goals which had been far and away the most in J2 and the stubborn defense which had conceded the fewest goals in J2, it was expected that the team would stir itself up in J1 after an interval of three years.
Japanese: J2ダントツの得点力、J2最小失点の堅守を見せ付けただけに、3年ぶりのJ1では奮起が期待された。
English: Although the team was reinforced with Makoto KAKUDA and Kazuki TESHIMA (both of whom returned to the team), it still remained demotion-threatened.
Japanese: シーズン中に角田誠、手島和希（ともに復帰）らを補強するも降格圏内を彷徨っていた。
English: In October, manager Koichi HASHIRATANI was eventually dismissed because of the slump of the team, and Head Coach Naohiko MINOBE assumed the post of the new manager.
Japanese: 10月にはついに柱谷幸一監督が成績不振を理由に解任され、美濃部直彦ヘッドコーチが新監督に就任した。
English: But while under the management of MINOBE the team tried to shore itself up by several approaches like adopting a back three formation, it was not able to change the bad situation.
Japanese: しかし、3バックを採用するなどのテコ入れをはかった美濃部体制でも悪い流れを変えることはできなかった。
English: On November 26, the team was defeated by Gamba Osaka, which made it certain that the team would finish 18th (that is, in last place) and that the team would be demoted to J2.
Japanese: 11月26日、ガンバ大阪に敗れ18位（最下位）が決まり、J2降格が決定した。
English: In February, 2007, the formal name of the club was changed from Kyoto Purple Sanga to Kyoto Sanga F.C., and the nickname was changed to Kyoto Sanga.
Japanese: 2007年2月からはクラブの正式名称が京都パープルサンガから京都サンガF.C.に、愛称が京都サンガになる。
English: In order to rebuild the defense which gave up the worst number, 74 goals, in J1 in 2006, the club acquired Yutaka AKITA and Ryuzo MORIOKA, the former defenders of the Japan national football team.
Japanese: 2006年にJ1ワーストの74失点を喫したディフェンスを立て直すため、元日本代表DF秋田豊、森岡隆三を獲得。
