Showa no Bakushoo Kasho Sanyutei

[Machine Translation] In the Showa era (1926-1989), the top four rakugo storytellers whose records sold well in the SP era were Kintaro Yanagiya I, Kinma Sanyutei III, Gontaro Yanagiya I, and Shibaraku Yanagitei VI (later Yanagishi Harufutei VII) in Tokyo. In the Kamigata region, there were Harudanji Katsura I, Shofukutei Matsutsuru V, and Tachibanaya Hanabachan. In the world of manzai, the outstanding performers were Sutemaru Sunagawa and Haruyo Nakamura in the west, Miss Wakana and Ichiro Tamamatsu in the west, and Regal Senta and Mankichi in Tokyo. This is the definitive "King of Bakugo of the Showa Era" compilation of five rakugo storytellers and three pairs of manzai performers who brought laughter with their strong personalities and looks to the yose world before and after World War II, and who are closely associated with Columbia and have been top sellers in the past.
