“Enka” were originally songs of political satire, which evolved into emotional songs of tragic love and lovers’ suicide, and they also came to be known as romantic songs. However, there was a time when they were looked down upon by intellectuals. On the other hand, “rakugo” comic stories known as “tsuyabanashi” were romantic stories of love affairs, and they were deemed inappropriate at the time. Some of the stories were even banned from being told on stage. But even while they were banned, both “enka” and “tsuyabanashi” were popular among the common people. This project will promote their charms for which they were loved.
