All records until Yoshimotozaka 46 sold out. Season 2.
Welcome to this week's episode of "Sagado City."
Our guest for this week is this person!
I'm Yui Takemoto of Yoshimotozaka 46. Nice to meet you.
Ms. Takemoto.
What month is it now?
What month is this show on air?
February.
It's February. That's early.
Is it Valentine's Day soon?
- It's Valentine's Day soon. - It's Valentine's Day.
- It's gone so fast. - It really is.
Right?
Do you still come to the office on Valentine's Day?
You idiot.
Don't you know about "Imachangirls"?
"Imachangirls"?
There are two in Osaka and three in Tokyo.
- Is that so? - I'm waiting for you to come!
- Really? - "Imachangirls"!
The average age is over 40!
- "Imachangirls" is great! - That's right, "Imachangirls"!
- The girls... - That's right, the girls are waiting for you!
- I'm sure you'll get five of them. - I'll get five of them.
When you're young...
When you're single...
But how is it?
- You don't remember much... - Well, I did get some...
- But it's not like... - Well, well, well...
- It's like "Yuta Kamibokuro". - Yes, yes, yes.
- It's like that. - Yes, yes, yes.
And then "Tsukitei Hosei" is like...
- It's like a truck... - It is, isn't it?
It's like getting in and out of the office in a car.
- You don't remember much! - Not that much...
And "Gaki no Tsukai" is like...
You put on your underwear and turn it upside down...
And you have a green nose...
And you're two years older!
- That's amazing! - That's amazing!
But when you're really young...
"Yamazaki Hosei" was really cool!
- "Yamazaki Hosei" had a cute face... - He really looked like an idol!
- Yes, yes, yes... - Who is it now?
- It's "igujitto", isn't it? - It's "igujitto", isn't it?
Was there anyone you liked when you were young?
- I'm a big fan of "Yurian"! - "Yurian"!
- I'm not a woman, but... - Oh, you're a woman!
- Yes, I like "Yurian" a lot! - Why?
- Did you like it? - Yes, it was really popular at school...
- Oh, it was "Yurian"! - Yes, we all talked about it.
- Now, with that said... - Yes?
- This time, we're going to talk about the second generation members who joined us last year!
- That's right! Please take care of us, second generation! - Yes, yes!
- First of all, these are the members. Please take a look.
The first one to join us is Hara Kodai, a first- year student of art history.
Three years ago, Hara was doing idol activities while attending Meiji University.
- Why did you quit?
- After all, really amazing seniors can dance in one shot even if they don't see it again.
There were quite a few times when I thought I couldn't do it at all and gave up.
Maybe at first I wasn't ready to quit being an idol.
After graduating from college and a year of social experience, he entered NSC.
Thank you so much!
Now, he performs in comedy shows as a duo and is active as a YouTuber.
I'm rooting for you!
Thank you very much!
When he asked his partner, Ikuto, about joining NSC...
I've been saying this for a long time, but I don't want people to know about it.
What are you talking about?
I just want people to think I'm cool.
That's what you've been saying.
I've been saying this for a long time, but I don't want people to know about it.
You've been saying it a lot.
I think I'm more suited to be an idol than a comedian.
Is it because of his idol-like personality?
It's been a year since he appeared on TV.
He's handsome, so he'll get a lot of fans.
What is his daily life like?
This is my room.
It's about 60,000 yen.
My rent is about 30,000 yen.
I don't have electricity in my house.
It costs money to repair my house.
I've been living off of TV.
I eat a lot of spicy ramen.
This is about 200 to 300 yen.
That kitchen is too dark.
I can't see anything.
I always leave my cell phone and other things here.
I've been living off of TV and my iPhone.
I put this on top of it.
I always put it on top of the microwave and eat it.
The good thing about this ramen is that it's spicy, so it stimulates your appetite and makes you feel full.
It's a delusional meal.
I make people think I'm delusional when I eat.
I eat about once a day.
I think you eat the most.
It's delicious.
His average income as an entertainer is 30,000 yen per month.
Excuse me.
That's why he works part-time at an izakaya and makes ends meet.
I go out during the day and work late at night.
I don't have enough energy to work late at night.
I want to focus on being an entertainer.
When they asked Hara why he wanted to be an entertainer...
To be honest, I had Yoshimoto Hill at first.
If I could enter Yoshimoto Hill, even if I had to save money and live my life...
I thought I had to work hard.
I've been looking for a place of my own.
I've been singing and dancing on stage, doing extra work, and doing all sorts of things.
I wanted to join because I thought only this group in the world could do interesting things.
And Hara passed the second round.
He dreamed of being active at Yoshimoto Hill and practiced dancing.
I thought I'd practice dancing so I could get used to the strategy.
So I did it alone.
Even as an idol, people who learn dancing quickly are more likely to be called to concerts.
If you can't dance in one shot, you can go home and do it again.
I thought I should improve my ability to succeed in one shot.
Hara went to see a senior entertainer who took care of him during his second round audition.
Good morning.
It's been a while.
You're a little shiny and dazzling.
It's not like that at all.
He didn't make it to the final screening.
It's Michelle's long hair.
Michelle and Nagano had a dance lesson together for the entrance exam.
Thank you for your hard work. Congratulations.
Thank you for your hard work. I won.
When I fell down, I got a text message from Hara about the next day.
Hara seems to have a lot of rivalry with you.
When you said you wanted to dance with me, I was really happy.
I'm happy you said that.
You're the center, aren't you? Don't you know that yet?
No, I don't know at all.
But I want to be the center.
If you let me in anyway.
That's right. I've always thought about it.
Really. I've always thought about it.
I'm thinking about it now, but I don't want to see Michelle's activities. Honestly.
That's what I wanted to say.
But when I talk to Hara like this, I'm cheering for Hara.
I can't wait to see it.
Thank you.
I'm sure everyone will do their best with it.
It's our first year, and we're doing so much.
I'm sure we'll do our best.
Seriously.
I'll do my best.
As usual, you're so kind.
You pushed me so hard.
I made up my mind to do my best from now on.
That's a lot of work.
It's Hara's first year as an entertainer.
His monthly salary is about 30,000 yen.
I think he got a job when he graduated from Roku University.
He made instant noodles and ate them at a place where there was no electricity in the house.
You're deceiving your brain.
Did you have a time like this in the morning?
I didn't do that.
I see.
I'm from NSC, or Namba, Osaka.
I'm from Futa station.
I lived in an apartment in the countryside and made my own life.
I have a place to eat and sleep.
I see.
I went to NSC and appeared on TV for about a year and a half.
You were in the top 20.
I see.
I've been doing this for a long time.
You're very good at it.
I was like "I'll do it."
Really?
Can I?
I made it at a Japanese-American theater.
I'll do it.
You're very good at it.
I was like "I'm going to Tokyo."
Do you want me to attack you?
Yes.
I was like that.
You're amazing.
I was like "Yes."
I went back to Tokyo.
You're amazing.
I went back to Tokyo.
I've been doing this more and more.
I think I should rent a hotel.
You're amazing.
It's your ideal.
It's my ideal.
I happened to be in a bank with 2 million yen.
When did you happen to be in a bank with 2 million yen?
When I came to Tokyo.
I don't have time to spend money.
You're busy.
I'm busy.
I eat ramen and dumplings every day.
I'm not interested in food.
You're young.
I put all my salary in my wallet.
I had some money left over.
I was wondering how much it was.
I was about to withdraw it.
When I heard it was 2 million yen, I was surprised.
I thought it was 2 million yen.
You're amazing.
You're smart.
You can eat anything you want.
You don't have to eat delusional food.
But I like normal food.
You're the same age as me, right?
We're from Hokkaido.
We don't have food to eat.
We kill foxes and eat them.
You're lying.
You bought your grandmother a car and a motorcycle, didn't you?
It's delicious.
You're the worst.
This program is brought to you by Sony Music.
Don't take it off.
The second-year students are...
Fujimori and Renge.
Yes, Fujimori and Renge.
In the audition, they showed their presence with their special dance.
They passed the audition.
I started dancing in ballet.
After graduating high school, I studied abroad for a year.
I went to Washington Ballet School.
When I realized it, I've been dancing ballet all my life.
And now, Kujimori is attending the Hinton Battle Dance Academy.
It's a dance fairy school produced by Broadway star Hinton Battle, who won three Tony Awards.
There's an audition, and I'm selected from about 800 people to about 28 people, and I'm active now.
Famous stars from all over the world come to Japan and learn dance.
I thought I could aim for the world here, and I took it.
In addition, she goes to karaoke not only for dancing but also for singing.
It was 50 points.
I don't have enough practice.
It's difficult.
If you don't practice, you can't help being anxious.
If you don't sing, you'll be bad at singing and dancing.
Is that what Kujimori is particular about? Fashion.
This is an old-fashioned shop. It's all old.
It's one of my ways of expressing myself.
I want to keep looking cool.
It's fashionable.
I don't look for new materials, but I like buying new clothes in that sense.
There were favorite clothes in her closet at home.
There are a lot of clothes.
There are about 60 clothes in my closet, and there are many more in my closet.
Why did Fujimori want to join Yoshimoto-zaka?
Yoshimoto-zaka is often thought of as just a comedy group,
but they actually put a lot of effort into dancing, singing, and other stages.
I felt that Yoshimoto-zaka was very different from other uphill groups in terms of atmosphere and choreography,
so I wanted to join.
I'm doing it while thinking that I'm going to make the renge senpuu blow up in the world.
The second student who followed closely is...
Junichi Sakamoto!
Actually, I'm not Sakamoto.
Then who are you? If you're not Sakamoto, who are you?
I'm Kiko Mizuhara!
He left a strong impact at the acceptance announcement.
Junichi Sakamoto, a GAG player who has been active in a trio for 15 years.
Yes, the number of customers has decreased.
In King of Cond, one of the most capable trio who has advanced to the finals for three consecutive years.
Except for Sakamoto's private life...
Good morning!
I'm Aisha.
I'm good at skateboarding.
Skateboarding, which has been in full swing for about three years.
I really wanted to start a hobby.
I started skateboarding because I wanted to do something that no one else was doing.
I go out for an hour or two before work.
I go out from about nine o'clock after work.
You're not that good.
We've been doing King of Cond for three years.
Last year and the year before, we were skateboarding until about two o'clock in the morning.
I think it's better for us to live our lives as usual and wish for an important stage.
Have you been skateboarding before the audition for Junichi Sakamoto?
Yes, I've been skateboarding a lot.
You've been skateboarding for three years, haven't you?
At Lumine's dressing room...
Kono-san said, "Sakamoto-chan, give me this."
You're a factory manager!
I can be on TV, I can sing, I can get a job, I can only do good things, and I was able to send it to you and let you choose it like this, so I think it's a blessing. I'm really grateful.
What do other entertainers think about Sakamoto, who joined Yoshimoto-zaka?
It's a comedy stage story, but I've never seen him dancing on stage, so I'd like him to learn how to dance and bring it over here.
It's amazing.
I'm happy. I think a lot about it, so I hope you sell it well.
Don't say that.
From here on out, I'm really not sure if I can do it.
I'm down by three positions.
You're really good at dancing.
I'm down.
You're 100 times better than me.
I don't agree with you.
I'm trying to do a wide range of activities like that, but I don't think I can do it.
Thank you!
But if you open the lid like this, it's still Sakamoto.
I think it'll be a nuisance.
Certainly.
But I'm a little sad to see Sakamoto doing it seriously.
Okay, I'll do my best.
I'm sure there are second-generation members who weren't used to it at the time, but if you don't stand up with those people's feelings, it's too late.
You're serious.
I'm serious.
I'm going to eat with my comedian friends on this day, so if you'll excuse me...
Thank you for your hard work.
There were three first-generation members of Yoshimotozaka.
I thought I'd get advice from Mr. Yoshimotozaka and my dear Spike, so I had this meeting held today. Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
I felt that there are quite a few customers who want to support you as an idol, even if they don't do it in a funny way.
Yes, yes, yes.
So maybe it's better to split it up in a good way.
When you're doing this, you're enjoying it.
Yes, yes, yes. It's like you're enjoying it.
It's funny and Yoshimotozaka is very popular and cool.
I think you've seen Sweet Monster dancing, but it's still quite inefficient.
I don't think there are people who are born with dancing talents or born with great singing skills.
Yes, that's right.
I know it, so don't tell me.
I don't like it when you say it.
But if you work hard and work hard until you go home in the morning, even if you're not good at it, if you put your heart into it, you'll find a thread at the water gate.
No, it really looks like it.
Trendy Angel's Takashi really likes that idol, doesn't he?
But he's been chasing various idols all the time, even now.
Takashi says that Sweet Monster is the most likely idol in Yoshimotozaka.
It's not finished yet.
People who support idols say, "What do you want the most?" It's not finished yet.
What do you want the most?
That's amazing.
What's that?
It's not finished yet.
But I've never experienced singing and dancing on a stage like that.
No, no, no.
So I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
You've taught me a lot of things I didn't know.
Thank you so much for today.
I'll do my best.
Thank you.
You're a first-generation senior, aren't you?
That's right.
But Professor Takashi says that Sweet Monster is the most fun group, even if you look at various things.
In the end, we want to see if it's unfinished.
I don't know about that.
I don't know at all.
I think it's better if it's finished.
How about you?
I used to be a fan of Keikizaka46.
I used to go to handshakes and concerts.
Oh, you've been there.
A lot of fans say that they're looking forward to my growth.
I think I should show you my growth.
If you think about it like that, Sweet Monster has the most growth.
That's for sure.
It's like you're growing toward your goal.
Yes, yes, yes.
Right?
That's good, isn't it?
That's right.
How about Sakamoto?
Can you expect it?
Sakamoto...
Do you need a skateboard scene?
No, it's not like that.
Maybe they do what we say they can't do.
They've been doing it for three years.
Yes, yes.
It's a document, isn't it?
If you say it like this again, you'll know.
It's like a gap.
That's right.
Isn't it a short distance?
It's a little dangerous for a moment.
We can't do it.
But I think we can do it in three years.
Are you from Shiga?
Yes.
Do you like comedy?
Yes, I like comedy.
I like "Yoshimoto Nervous System" very much.
My whole family liked it.
Every week, we decided to watch "Yoshimoto Nervous System" at dinner time.
At dinner time?
We watched it with my grandfather.
I see.
Are you good at impersonating entertainers?
No, I'm not.
Who is it?
I'm not good at it.
A few years ago, Rina Matsuda from "Kiai Kizaka" came to our show.
She was impersonating entertainers.
When I saw it, I thought I should do it, too.
I see.
I practiced hard for this show.
Did you practice hard for this show?
Yes, I did.
I've never done it before.
Why can't you distinguish between "kayakuchi kotoba" and "bridge"?
You're one step ahead of me.
Who will you impersonate?
First of all, I'll impersonate "chocolate planet" Matsuo from "ikkou san".
Matsuo from "ikkou san", right?
Yes, I'll impersonate "ikkou san" Matsuo from "ikkou san".
I see.
I'll impersonate "ikkou san" Matsuo from "ikkou san".
Please.
Oh, oh, it flew away.
That's a bad quality.
You did it.
It's not over yet.
If you say it, it's over.
I'll impersonate "big fan" Julian Retriever.
Julian's impersonation?
I saw it on TV and studied it.
You studied it.
I impersonated "big fan" Julian Retriever.
Please.
You're getting carried away.
You did it.
Excuse me, did you really get carried away just now?
You did it.
Whose impersonation are you doing?
Don't you do it, Bridget?
This Bumingumi was made possible by Sony Music.
I just want to show you what I've been working on for a year.
Let's have fun!
Let's dance until morning.
I was kissed by you.
I'm sorry for falling in love with you.
"Sweet Monster" Chao's music video will be released in mid-February.
Please look forward to it!
