6.40 28 minutes "Taishu engeki," or "popular theater," is a fun and engaging form of entertainment that is intended to appeal to everyone. Typical performances are period dramas, telling stories of samurai and sword-fighting. The shows also feature singing, dancing, and glamorous costumes.

Sawa is a veteran with 8 decades of experience, while Tachibana has made a name for himself as a performer of female roles.
