Ikutaka, Somejaku and others thoroughly instructed two people who act as rakugo performers remotely. “I think the association wanted to put in two people who were nagging (to supervise) and ask for strictness,” laughed Ikutaka.

On this day, the advance screening of the first episode was held at "Temma Tenjin Hanjotei" (Kita Ward, Osaka City). A rakugo performance was scheduled to be held, but the event was canceled due to Typhoon No. The surprise project of Yamamura showing off the "Yuzansen" that appears in the first episode has disappeared, and he said, "I've been practicing since morning, so it's a shame."

Somejaku also expressed his expectations, saying, "If Temma Tenjin Hanjotei becomes a mecca for anime, like Asakusa Kid's French theater, young people will come. I'm looking forward to it."
