Which type of Japanese drama incorporates music, dance, and mime?

The correct answer is Kabuki, which is a traditional Japanese theater form characterized by its unique integration of music, dance, and elaborate costumes. In Kabuki, the performers use exaggerated movements and vocal techniques to convey emotions and narrate stories, often with the aid of a live orchestra. The combination of these elements creates a vibrant and dynamic theatrical experience that emphasizes visual spectacle and performance artistry.

Noh, though also a form of Japanese theater, is known for its subtlety and slower pace and generally relies more on dialogue and minimalistic movements, using masks and minimal props rather than the energetic and colorful performance style found in Kabuki. Joruri refers to a form of narrative music often associated with Bunraku puppet theater, which also has elements of music but does not involve the same level of dance or theatrical performance as Kabuki. Gagaku is traditional court music and dance, which, while incorporating musical elements, does not focus on the theatrical storytelling aspect that defines Kabuki.
