Ayane Sakura(佐倉綾音)as the aggressive Mari Buratei
Nozomi Yamamoto(山本希望)as the lucky Tetora Bohatei
Kotori Koiwai(小岩井ことり)as the cute (if secretly scary) Kigurumi Harokitei
Yoshino Nanjo(南條愛乃)as the bespectacled Gankyo Kurubiyutei
Saori Goto(後藤沙緒里)as the ever-blue Kukuru Anrakutei
In any case, as much as I still love those bracketing themes for "Joshiraku", there were also a couple of songs that intrigued me as well but didn't know they were actually on a CD that came with the Blu-Ray of the series. One was "Never Give Up", a cutesy AKB48-friendly tune concocted by Kohei of SIMONSAYZ and sung by the rakugo ladies for Episode 3 of the series when they were coerced to put in a song-and-dance (I think they were trying to emulate the 90s group ZOO) element to their performances.... much to the audience's fury. The song still works on its own, though.
As one last piece of trivia for those who are not all that well versed in the seiyuu (I'm still trying to get a handle on all those names and characters), Ayane Sakura who plays the caustic Mari also played the much more adorable Cocoa in "Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka"(ご注文はうさぎですか?)in which she also performed the opening theme with the cast.
