Live stanger comment
──Please tell us your impressions of holding “LIVE STAND 22-23”.
Taka and Toshi Taka: I had an event called “LIVE STAND” regarding 15 years ago, and it ended in failure, but this time I’m full of the desire to succeed in the form of revenge. I want to make it more exciting than last time.
Taka and Toshi Toshi: No. It’s been a huge success. I would like to do my best as a “live stander”.
── Enthusiasm as a live stancer.
KAMAITACHI Yamauchi: As far as I can see from the members who are coming now, there are many young entertainers in “LIVE STAND” who are seriously choosing too much and not thinking regarding the colors at all, so it’s not so heavy (laughs). rest assured.
KAMAITACHI Hamaie: There are also fast-paced manzai teachers, so it’s not just “heavy manzai”.
──What is your impression of becoming a live stancer?
Chidori Nobu: You want to be aware of the “live stander”. It’s an honor, but maybe I might have added a fresher person. All of them have black hair. I was worried regarding that.
Chidori / Daigo: I feel like I’m carrying Yoshimoto on my back.
Chidori Nobu: No way! It’s embarrassing. I was very enthusiastic during “Legendary Day” (laughs).
── About performing a laughing live at Osaka Castle Hall.
Tsuyoshi Nakagawa: I’m grateful that there is nothing that can be done in a big place, but the customers are far away.
Reiji Nakagawa: Do you think regarding it? For example, bringing the audience seats closer.
Tsuyoshi: Some customers think that if it’s too wide, they can laugh. It’s like someone will laugh. But I’m looking forward to it! I’m thrilled.
── About having a comedy live at Marine Messe Fukuoka.
Hanamaru Hakata: It’s the biggest venue, like an adult ceremony or a live concert by Mr. Children. Fukuoka will be next year, so I would like to consider whether to do (“LIVE STAND”) while watching the situation in Tokyo. But a great member will appear.
Hakata Daikichi: I’m really worried regarding the launch, rather than the story. We want to pack all of our breathtaking catering.
──The real thrill of a big venue.
Tomoko Unabara: I want customers to enjoy themselves together without skipping. I heard that there is an Osaka menu in Osaka, so I’m looking forward to that too. This time it’s a “live stander”, but last time we were selected as a “live stand girls”. The top is going now, Kuruyo is a master, and the members of it made a clear file.
Yasuyo Kaihara: Everyone should wear a checked skirt. I’m a girl to a stander, so this time I was chosen for a pretty good position. I want to do my best in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
