The variety show "Arabikidan Golden SP" (TBS) will be on February 12th, 15 years after the program started. It was broadcast in primetime for the first time.
After finishing the regular broadcast in September 2011, the program was made into a special program. The feature is that comedians show off their rough tricks. The performers show one after another rough tricks that are difficult to use in other variety shows. Sometimes there is a surreal atmosphere that makes it hard to tell whether it is funny or not. Because of its high degree of freedom, it is also a program where you can feel the essence of the entertainers who appear.
Magical Lovely, Kamaitachi, Hollywood Zakoshisho, and others have appeared in past episodes before they made a national break. Numerous characters such as Kyuton, Fusentaro, Noka Yasuho, and Megu-chan, who symbolize Arabiki-dan, have also been produced. Movie "Don't stop the camera! (2017), actor Yoshiko Takehara (under the name of Donguri) also appeared.
In this “Arabiki Dan Golden SP”, the performers are divided into three blocks: “Ara”, “Biki”, and “Dan” and show off their material. From among them, the "strongest performer", which means the champion, was decided.
"M-1 Grand Prix", "R-1 Grand Prix", "King of Conte", "THE W" It is said that if you leave a result, your destiny will change overnight. For example, the Nishikigoi that won the "M-1 Grand Prix 2021" changed their lives completely. It is so popular that there is not a day when it is not seen on TV now.
Aside from the award race program, the project "Welcome to Omoshiro-sou!" broadcasted on New Year's Day on "Guru Guru Ninety-Nine" (Nippon Television) is regarded as a gateway for young comedians and a stepping stone to breakthrough.
On the other hand, this "Arabikidan Golden SP" is different from the current trend of comedy programs in that it seems that the fate will not change so much even if it is selected as the strongest performer.
This time, the strongest performer was Surume, who was also the champion in "Asamade Arabikidan SP Ara 1 Grand Prix 2018" (TBS series). He is an extremely nervous type who can't even talk, so he shows a special skill that quietly peels off the packing tape wrapped around his naked upper body, and plays rock-paper-scissors by himself and his right hand beats his left hand three times, but he can't progress properly. finish the performance.
However, it is the performance that Arabikidan seeks that is unsuitable for broadcasting in prime time. Even just a few sets before the appearance of dried squid, Kamaitachi made them laugh with their first story, and Higashino was just surprised that it was a "serious skit". Partly because of the aftertaste, the dried squid's roughness was even more noticeable.
Higashino commented on the arabiki performance of dried squid, "Our job is to let the world know that there is a dried squid (a performer called squid) by 12 o'clock today. Tomorrow everyone can forget about it. Before you take a bath and go to bed today, please think about dried squid.
These words showed that no matter how much they were evaluated in "Arabikidan", their destiny would not change overnight.
Kukki (Wild Bomb) for the story of adding playful sound effects to the movements of Otakopu (Pooh & Mu) , Guest Miho Kanno's review of "adult prank" was also wonderful. Certainly, in this special program, there were a lot of stories that said, ``Isn't there any merit in doing this for the best-selling girls at Golden now?''
Tomoharu Shoji (Shoji Shinagawa) showed a story in which a man was attacked by a person holding an ab roller, a training device, but Higashino and Fujii said, "The composition is too bad," and "The composition (of the video) is fluent. "I was teased about miscellaneous things.
For Nishikigoi, Masaki Hasegawa sings Akira Fuse's cover song "My Way" (1972). Originally, he was supposed to sing Yutaka Ozaki's "Rules on the Road" (1985), but his partner, Takashi Watanabe, arbitrarily replaced it with "My Way", saying, "It overlaps with the path we have walked." Hasegawa ended up singing an unexpected song, and as expected, he was in a state of tatters. A video of the two of them struggling was played along with Hasegawa's song, but the moving episode that has become familiar was shown roughly.
In addition, Yuriyan Retriever plays the daily life of a soccer player, Naoki Inada (Einstein) shapes stars with his own hair, and Shinji Saito (Jungle Pocket) cuts off material halfway through editing. Dispose of. All of them had a roughness that I could not think of as talented entertainers.
In general, they were the "adult pranks" that Kanno issued, and they were laughter that could only be established in "Arabikidan".
Many comedy shows and award races make discovering the next break and new stars a big highlight. However, the final candidates for the strongest performer in "Arabikidan Golden SP" were Gakuzuke, Shoji, unit Miki & Bambino, and dried squid.
Gakuzuke is only eight years old, but many people already know about Shoji's muscle performances. Miki & Bambino was also an arrangement of Bambino's once popular rhythm song "Danson".
It is also interesting to see the selection that hardly considers future potential, topicality, and novelty.
There are many comedians who later became popular among the performers of the past episodes. It's just that it's a ′′ result ′′ to the end rather than there was a ′′ aim ′′ in the program. Of course, there is a foresight, but the enthusiasm of "let's make a young person break here" is not felt in the same program as it was in the past. Of course, that's what makes Arabikidan so open-minded.
In other words, the program itself does not create the atmosphere that "fate can change overnight". In the first place, the purpose is to focus on rough art, and rather than making people laugh with the entertainer's story itself, it has expanded its uniqueness as a variety show by applying camera work and editing that are different from the performers' expectations. Look for the roughness of the performer's performance, and if you find it, thoroughly pick it up, shine a spotlight on it, and close it up. Since "rough and funny" is evaluated first, there will be results that are not found in other comedy shows or award races.
However, the Heights Tomokai, which was selected for the "Miho Kanno Award", and My Sweet Memories, which appeared as the top batter, are also popular in theaters in Kansai, so I am looking forward to the 2022 award race again. I had high hopes. The young hope, the president of Nippon, had an exquisite balance of roughness and ingenuity. Next-generation brands such as Koen, Soft Water, and Pomeran also made an impact. With the appearance in "Arabikidan Golden SP", the recognition will be increased and it should make a further leap.
Influenced by "M-1" and others, comedy scenes are becoming more perfect year by year. That's why the unavoidable roughness of "Arabikidan" is fresh and addictive.
