Prepared with such a suicidal love, Okada Masaki’s performance is highly praised, satisfaction level of “Shōwa genroku rakugo shinjū” increases
4 Nov 2018
Starring Okada Masaki as a Rakugo master who displays his masterpiece, the NHK Drama 10 “Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū” is popular. Supervised by a rakugo master Yanagiya Kyōtarō, Okada’s rakugo surprised rakugo fans in a good way. According to the “Oricon Drama Value” satisfaction level published by the Weekly Entertainment Business Magazine “Confidence”, viewers sing their praises one by one. The satisfaction level of the drama itself is also rapidly increasing. We might see the dawn of Rakugo’s popularity.
Satisfaction level increased sharply from Episode 2; Rakugo’s popularity is predicted to increase
This production is based on Kumota Haruko’s best-selling manga “Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū” that has been sold for 2 million copies. Set in the early days of the Shōwa period, the series portrays Yakumo (formerly known as Kikuhiko) as the ‘big boss’ of the Rakugo world during that period, the life of Rakugo artists during the World War II era, the bonds between young Rakugo artists, the affections and jealousy of teachers-students and men-women, and goodbyes. In addition, the drama revolves around the mysterious accidental death of Sukeroku, Yakumo’s close friend and a genius and natural Rakugo talent.
With screenplay from the “Massan” TV series Habara Daisuke and directed by Tanada Yuki, the drama series has become a fertile human drama that attracts not only Rakugo fans but also general drama fans. Although the satisfaction level of Episode 1 was not high (just 37 points out of a possible 100 points), the satisfaction level of Episode 2 shot to 76 points. It increased further to 78 points for Ep 3. As a note, the highest satisfaction level for this season was TBS’ “Sitamachi Rocket” (90 points), followed by TV Tokyo’s “Harassment Game” (62 points). As you can see, “Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū” has gained considerable support starting from Episode 2.
Okada Masaki’s majestic Rakugo masterpiece received high ratings
Amongst the satisfaction variables, one variable that has maintained high points so far is the ‘main actor’. Portraying the head and master of a Rakugo family, Okada’s majestic Rakugo masterpiece seems to have attracted many viewers. Some of the comments are:
“Okada-kun’s Rakugo was amazing. The Rakugo scenes were enjoyable.” (50 years old female, Tokyo)
“Unexpectedly, the Rakugo was good. It betrayed my expectation in a good way.” (40 y.o. female, Tokyo)
“I’d like to see Okada Masaki’s new field.” (40 y.o. female, Saitama)
“(the show’s) density is thick and interesting. I’m paying attention to the relationships between characters.” (50 y.o. male, Osaka)
Okada revealed that he felt lost upon receiving this offer, for “I cannot do it half-heartedly”. However, he came to realise that “This is a role that cannot be done unless one knows and loves Rakugo” and that “I want to have a stronger feeling towards Rakugo and I want to totally give myself to this role”. With this determination, he dedicated himself to practicing Rakugo. Such preparation and effort bear a fruitful result that not only surprises Rakugo fans but also becomes a workmanship on its own. By establishing itself as an in-depth human drama, this series firmly grasps the viewers’ heart. Throughout this work, Okada admitted that “the more I learn Rakugo, the more I like it”. The feelings of such a person, who is synched to his role as such, have been projected on the screen.
Meanwhile, there are many who evaluate the Rakugo narratives and works, as well as how the drama showcases Rakugo itself. For these viewers, their opinions are clear: they think that the themes, stories, casting, acting, etc. were put together well and they feel the drama’s strength.
“I read the original work and I know the story, but the drama still has other interesting aspects. I’m looking forward to see what I want to see every week.” (30 y.o. female, Saitama)
“A very mysterious and powerful story. Totally blows my mind.” (40 y.o. male, Shiga)
“I’m a Rakugo fan and I’m always looking forward to this drama. I’d like to see more and longer Rakugo scenes.” (40 y.o. male, Kanagawa)
“I think the drama seriously addresses what Rakugo is.” (50 y.o. male, Chiba)
This drama has 10 instalments. Although the latter half seems to go full-throttle into suspense-mode, please enjoy Master Okada’s Rakugo and this human drama with its rich world of the Rakugo family who has survived thus far.

落語の名人役で主演する岡田将生が圧巻の演目を披露するNHKドラマ10『昭和元禄落語心中』が好評だ。柳家喬太郎師匠が監修する劇中の岡田の落語は、落語ファンをいい意味で驚かせ、週刊エンタテインメントビジネス誌『コンフィデンス』によるドラマ満足度調査「オリコンドラマバリュー」には、賞賛の声が続々と寄せられている。同作の満足度ポイントも急上昇中。落語ブームの再来を予感させる。
第2回放送から満足度ポイント急上昇 落語ブーム再来の予感
同作は、漫画家・雲田はるこ氏の累計200万部突破する人気コミック『昭和元禄落語心中』が原作。昭和の初期、落語の大名跡である「八雲」を襲名した前座名「菊比古」を主人公に、戦争の時代の落語家たちの生き様、芸の絆に結ばれた若者たちの熱い友情、師弟や男女の情愛と嫉妬、別れ、そして無二の親友であり同期入門の落語の天才・助六の事故死を巡る不可解な謎が描かれる。 脚本は連続テレビ小説『マッサン』の羽原大介氏、演出は映画監督のタナダユキ氏が手がけ、落語ファンだけでなく、ドラマファンも魅了する濃厚にして豊穣なヒューマンドラマになっている。 そんな同作は、初回の満足度は37Pt（100Pt満点）と決して高くはなかったが、第2回で76Ptと急上昇。第3回でも78Ptとさらにポイントアップしている。今期連ドラの初回満足度ランキングでは、1位『下町ロケット』（TBS系）が90Pt、10位の『ハラスメントゲーム』（テレビ東京系）は62Ptであることから、『昭和元禄落語心中』が第2回から一気に視聴者の高い支持を獲得していることがわかる。
威風堂々とした岡田将生の圧巻の落語が高評価
満足度の項目のなかで、初回以降、高ポイントを維持しながら伸びているのが「主演」項目だ。落語家の名人を演じる岡田の威風堂々とした圧巻の落語に惹きつけられた視聴者は多かったようで、「岡田君の落語がすごい。落語シーンが楽しめる」（50代女性／東京）、「予想外に落語がよかった。いい意味で期待を裏切ってくれた」（40代男性／東京）、「岡田将生の新境地を見届けたい」（40代女性／埼玉）、「密度が濃くておもしろい、登場人物たちの関係性に注目している」（50代男性／大阪）といった声が寄せられている。 岡田は今作のオファーを受けたときに「生半可な気持ちではできない」と出演を迷ったことを明かしている。しかし、「落語を知り、落語を愛さないとできない役」であることを承知のうえで、「やりたいと思う気持ちが強くなり、この役と心中したい」と決意し、落語の稽古に打ち込んでいた。そんな覚悟と努力が実を結んだ名演は、落語ファンをも驚かせる出来栄えとなり、奥行きのある人間ドラマとして見事に成立させることで、視聴者の心をしっかりとつかんでいる。岡田は本作を通して「落語を知れば知るほど好きになっています」と語っており、そんな本人の気持ちも役柄とシンクロし、画面に映し出されているのかもしれない。
一方、その物語性や作品の落語への向き合い方を評価する声も多い。「原作を読んでストーリーは知っているけど、ドラマはまた違うおもしろさがある。毎週観たくなる内容になっていて楽しみ」（30代女性／埼玉）、「謎めいていて力のあるストーリー。とても先が気になる」（40代男性／滋賀）、「落語ファンですが、毎回見入ってしまう。もっと落語シーンを長く観てみたい」（40代女性／神奈川）、「落語を真剣に扱っていることを評価したい」（50代男性／千葉）など、テーマやストーリー性、キャストの演技などを総合した、ドラマそのものの力強さを感じている視聴者の意見も目立っている。 ドラマは全10回。後半はサスペンスフルな展開に入っていくようだが、岡田名人の落語とともにその世界を生き抜いた落語家たちの豊穣なヒューマンドラマを楽しみたい。

岡田将生「役と心中する覚悟」の熱演が高評価 『昭和元禄落語心中』満足度急上昇
落語の名人役で主演する岡田将生が圧巻の演目を披露するNHKドラマ10『昭和元禄落語心中』が好評だ。柳家喬太郎師匠が監修する劇中の岡田の落語は、落語ファンをいい意味で驚かせ、週刊エンタテインメントビジネス誌『コンフィデンス』によるドラマ満足度調査「オリコンドラマバリュー」には、賞賛の声が続々と寄せられている。同作の満足度ポイントも急上昇中。落語ブームの再来を予感させる。
第2回放送から満足度ポイント急上昇 落語ブーム再来の予感
同作は、漫画家・雲田はるこ氏の累計200万部突破する人気コミック『昭和元禄落語心中』が原作。昭和の初期、落語の大名跡である「八雲」を襲名した前座名「菊比古」を主人公に、戦争の時代の落語家たちの生き様、芸の絆に結ばれた若者たちの熱い友情、師弟や男女の情愛と嫉妬、別れ、そして無二の親友であり同期入門の落語の天才・助六の事故死を巡る不可解な謎が描かれる。 脚本は連続テレビ小説『マッサン』の羽原大介氏、演出は映画監督のタナダユキ氏が手がけ、落語ファンだけでなく、ドラマファンも魅了する濃厚にして豊穣なヒューマンドラマになっている。 そんな同作は、初回の満足度は37Pt（100Pt満点）と決して高くはなかったが、第2回で76Ptと急上昇。第3回でも78Ptとさらにポイントアップしている。今期連ドラの初回満足度ランキングでは、1位『下町ロケット』（TBS系）が90Pt、10位の『ハラスメントゲーム』（テレビ東京系）は62Ptであることから、『昭和元禄落語心中』が第2回から一気に視聴者の高い支持を獲得していることがわかる。
