Mitsuyoshi Uchimura’s “realistic” decision not to co-star with Hanawa of “Nights

Mitsuyoshi Uchimura of UCCHAN NANCHAN and his junior partner, Nobuyuki Hanawa of Nights, have become the talk of the town for their “NG” together.

UCCHAN NANCHAN appeared on the February 18 broadcast of “All Night Nippon 55th Anniversary All Night Nippon 55 Hour Special,” a special program commemorating the 55th anniversary of Nippon Broadcasting System’s “All Night Nippon. Since his ally Tetsuro Izukawa will turn 60 next February, the idea of holding a “Tetsuro Izukawa Kanreki Celebration in Yokohama” was floated.

When it came to selecting the performers, Uchimura said of his junior comedian, “Knights,” “Tsuchiya is fine.

Tsuchiya is fine. Hanawa is a bit of a co-starring nuisance.

Hanawa is not a good choice. His partner, Kiyotaka Minamihara, also expressed his opinion, saying, “You have a co-starring NG?

This is the first time I’ve heard that! That’s the first time I’ve heard of it!

I’ve never heard that before! Uchimura explained the reason for the NG.

I wondered about you as a human being when we appeared on the radio the other day. Hanawa and I don’t get along.
I wondered about him as a human being a couple of times.

But he declined to go into details.

When this became a news item on the Internet, social networking sites started to ask

“Seriously?
“Surprising!
“NG together in the same office…

What is the real story? What is the truth?

Three days after Uchimura’s declaration of no collaboration, Hanawa, who was involved in the case, said on a Nippon Broadcasting System (NAB) radio program, “I’m not sure. Three days after Uchimura’s declaration, Hanawa appeared on the Nippon Broadcasting System’s radio program “Knights the Radio Show. A comment from Ucchan Nanchan, a senior member of Uchimura’s group, was introduced.

It is believed that Uchimura had just finished filming the aforementioned “All Night Nippon,” and he deliberately said, “I would like to ask the two Knights to do me a favor.

I have a favor to ask of the two Knights…. Ah! (Not the two, but Tsuchiya.) I have a favor to ask Tsuchiya. I have a favor to ask Tsuchiya.

He reworded the request. Minamihara was quick to respond, “What about Hanawa?

What about Hanawa?”

Uchimura replied.

I’m sorry, but Hanawa is aware of this. I’m sorry, but I think Hanawa knows that.

I’m sorry, but I’m sure Hanawa is aware of this.

Hanawa was disheartened to hear this. Asked about the cause, Hanawa replied.

I don’t know! I’m becoming more and more of a ‘Minamihara faction.

He was once adamant, but then quickly added, “I can’t think of any major mistakes!

I can’t think of any major problems!

I can’t think of any big mistakes I’ve made!

This is not the first time we have seen such an exchange between the two. On the June 8, 2009 broadcast of “Uchimura & Samaaz no Hatsudashi Talk Variety, Laugh Dane 2 Hour SP” (NTV), Uchimura and Hanawa met and talked about their NGs. Uchimura was not happy that the guest was Knights.

One of them is a co-starring NG! That’s strange. Why did they say yes?

Why did they say yes? Hanawa appeared on stage and addressed Uchimura and his partner, Nobuyuki Tsuchiya, saying

“I didn’t expect to be co-starring with you!

The whole studio responded, “You’re the one! and the whole studio responded, “You! Again, Uchimura explained the reason for their NG together.

I told you that we were not going to co-star when we were on the radio. Because you are a bad person. You are a bad human being.

He was also clear about the reason for the NG.

A male broadcaster commented on this exchange, saying, “We have been working together for some reason.

I’ve been working with him for some reason or another. That’s the answer. When Mr. Uchimura saw Hanawa’s physiognomy, he had a gut feeling that ‘this guy is bad.

(laugh).

The two also had a light-hearted exchange on the June 1, 2007, broadcast of TBS Radio’s “Saturday Wide Radio TOKYO Nights’ Chaki-Chaki-Dai Hoso” (Saturday Night Radio Tokyo). When the topic of making comedy material came up, Uchimura said, “I spend about two hours in my living room, concentrating on my work.

Uchimura said, “I spend about two hours in the living room, concentrating. And if I can’t write, I go to bed.

Tsuchiya replied, “You don’t use an office?

Tsuchiya asked, “Don’t you use your office? Tsuchiya asked, “Don’t you use the office?

Hanawa deliberately asked, “Minamihara-san, you’re here every day.

Hanawa deliberately chided, “You’re here every day, Minamihara-san.

Hanawa said, “Minamihara-san is there every day. Understanding Hanawa’s intention to imply that Hanawa was “avoiding” his partner, Uchimura laughed and said, “You’re a real jerk, aren’t you?

You’re a real jerk, you know that? You’re a real jerk. That’s why we don’t get along.

I don’t get along with Hanawa. It’s a human intuition. It’s a gut feeling.

Hanawa said. Hanawa is known for making fun of Ucchan Nanchan’s “disagreements.

Uchimura’s ‘Hanawa’s co-starring nonsense’ is a standard topic of conversation,” he said. In fact, he doesn’t really invite me to some shows (laughs). (Laughs.) It’s a trick that’s only possible because they are senior and junior in the office.

It is likely that we will see more of their loving “NG” talk in the future…
