Tokyo Rhapsody

歌謡曲だよ、人生は

Also known as Kayôkyoku dayo jinsei wa, 人生一如歌谣曲, 东京大歌厅

"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.
