Pia Corporation has announced the release of the 7th batch of archived, curated performance videos from Kobe Shinkaichi Kirakukan's "Genki Yose" on "Pia Rakugo Zanmai," a video streaming service offering unlimited viewing of rakugo performances for a flat monthly fee. The new content became available starting July 2nd. The 7th batch features five performances: "Mikan-ya" by Kenta KATSURA, "Tako Shibai" by Someza HAYASHIYA, "Real Gold na Tawagoto ni" by Ayame KATSURA, "Shika Seidan" by Shin Tsuyu, and "Sasaki Sabaki" by Hibai SHOFUKUTEI. Kobe Shinkaichi Kirakukan, opened in July 2018, is the only permanent rakugo theater in Hyogo Prefecture, hosting performances such as rakugo daily. It operates 365 days a year, allowing visitors to enjoy Kamigata rakugo. The "Genki Yose" project, launched by the theater in September 2021, aims to "cheer people up with laughter through rakugo" during a time when non-essential outings and interactions were restricted due to the spread of COVID-19. The series continues to be held, primarily on Thursday evenings. Future archive releases are planned with five new performances added each month (until October 2026). These can be viewed as part of the unlimited viewing content on "Pia Rakugo Zanmai" at no additional charge. Please enjoy these exquisite Kamigata rakugo performances as they are added.
