Hiii Seb!! <3 I'm sorry if this is a weird question, but do you know any sites or Yt channels where I can watch Rakugo legally? I started reading Akane banashi cuz of your blog and now I want to listen to irl rakugo, but I couldn't find anything besides what seems like illegal uploadsπ’
anyways luv luv luv ur blog bye!!

Anon Omg I have felt a similar struggleβ¦.here are a few official sources Iβve found!!
In 2020, JAPAN Forward recorded livestreams of rakugo performances in an event to promote socially-distanced entertainment during lockdown. These are available on Youtube!
This is a performance of βShinigamiβ (which is one of my personal fave stories) released on the YouTube channel of the entertainment company Watanabe. They might have more but idk.
Greeks is an company based in Osaka that has released a few performances with English subtitles on YouTube. Hereβs a performance of Three Written Vows and Enemy at the Inn.
Tatekawa Shinoharu is a rakugoka who releases recordings both in Japanese and English on his own YouTube channel.
I hope this was helpful!!! It makes me so happy to know my ramblings have helped people find akane banashiππππ
