Tokyo Rhapsody (2007)
Directed by Shinobu Yaguchi, Toshiyuki Mizutani, Yoshikazu Ebisu, Itsumichi Isomura, Mitsuhiro Mihara
Overview
“Tokyo Rhapsody” consists of 11 short films all centered around the music genre known as “Kayokyoku”. Kayokyoku is a catch-all term to describe the music that defined two generations of post-war Japan. Although the term survives, it has a strong connotation with a simpler, pre-“Economic Bubble” era when Japanese people shared a common identity in the reconstruction of their nation.
