According to a Centrair publicist, Yujuku Sanyutei and Sannosuke Yanagiya’s “hobby is aviation... Because of that, they get good reviews every time they perform their storytelling at the airport museum next to Narita Airport. They both love aviation, so they’re happy to be involved in this event at Centrair.”

The publicist added, “We hope that when Yujuku Sanyutei and Sannosuke Yanagiya perform rakugo in other places that they’ll use Centrair for their material.”
