Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

-Both are stories of unlikely friendships built while following a similar passion -The main characters seem like perfect foils of each other, one reserved and one energetic -A bit of a love triangle in both - A similar era, the Shouwa era in Japan, but in a different setting, one in the city and the other in the country Both are beautifully told, emotional stories, and the setting is what I believe to be the decider. Sakamichi angles in more on the youth wanted to rebel against the stifling authority of this era and express themselves through this foreign music called jazz. Meanwhile, Rakugo Shinju is about artists struggling to hold on to a tradition that is being threatened by a changing world.
