Maybe.
I stumbled upon Radio Days because I watched picrel, which is a very similar film about a late 20s/early 30s Japanese woman in the 1982 experiencing a midlife crisis and reminiscing about her coming of age in mid-1960s Japan. It led me down a rabbithole of the movies that influenced it, and I found Radio Days and Amarcord to be the two big ones it took direct influence from. I found Amarcord to be too weirdly bitter, but Radio Days scratched the same exact itch.
I particularly got emotional at the part near the beginning where he talks about how much he grew to cherish the gray, overcast Winter days; because it managed to put into words and sights a feeling I've had since I was a kid given I grew up in MN and always loved the overcast days in Winter over the sunny ones. The Radio City Music Hall part also got me, because I'm the same way with movie theaters.
But anyway, if you love Radio Days I highly recommend Only Yesterday. It's a fantastic film that is as good or better.
