Production

The film is the first of three short feature films starring the enka singer Chiyoko Shimakura. These films were made in conjunction with Ryo Takei's company Sogei Pro.[3] According to Honda, the film was made at a time when Toho was "trying everything out" which led to building a film around Chiyoko Shimakura.[4] Honda commented later on the era saying he "tried [his] best at whatever kind of thing would come my way instead of rejecting something that might not have been for me."[4]

Release

Tōkyō no hito sayōnara was distributed theatrically by Toho on 28 June 1956.[1]
