Chidori’s Nobu “white body with blue holo” driving a Mercedes-Benz convertible.
A Mercedes Benz dashingly appeared at a gas station in Tokyo a little past 6:00 p.m. in late April. It was a convertible with a pure white body and a blue top that stood out. I recognize this car from somewhere …. The moment I thought that, the window on the left side opened and the face that came out was, as expected, Nobu (43) of “Chidori” fame.
The car is a Mercedes Benz worth 11,420,000 yen that he purchased as part of a project for Chidori’s TV program “TV Chidori” (TV Asahi) that aired in ’18. Initially, the project was to find a family car, but he bought it out of the blue. It is a very prominent design among Mercedes Benzes, and since it has appeared several times on the show and on the comedian’s Instagram, he lamented that his fans would often recognize him when he was driving around town (laughs)” (source from Yoshimoto Kogyo).
Immediately after purchasing the Mercedes Benz, Nobu appeared at a movie event,
He said, “My son is riding in the back seat with me. It’s a nice car, so he’s excited, but the color and model have been identified on TV, so when I passed by Omotesando the other day, he pointed at me and laughed” (at the opening event of the movie “TAXi: The Diamond Mission” held on January 15, 2007).
(at the opening event of the movie “Taxi: The Diamond Mission” held on January 15, 2007). On this day, too, he was discovered by this magazine, but after refueling, Nobu exchanged a few words with the clerk and was all smiles, as you can see.
Speaking of Nobu, “Weekly Women’s PRIME” reported on April 20 that some people have been having problems with his tsukkomi on “TV Chidori”. Chidori did a street location in a shopping district in Arakawa Ward, and his partner Daigo (43) asked Nobu, “How about for your wife?” and his partner Daigo (43) recommended a small black bag to Nobu, saying, “How about for a wife?
“A dog shit bag?
This caused a firestorm on the Internet.
Nobu has repeatedly come under fire for comments such as, “I want to have an affair with a female celebrity in real life,” and for comments that seem to be a form of moral harassment toward his wife. Daigo was also reported twice for cheating in the past, but it didn’t turn out to be serious. However, due to the fact that Masao Hamada (59) of “Downtown” had an affair with his father earlier this year, Yoshimoto Kogyo is getting nervous about the words and actions of popular comedians.
The more popular a comedian becomes, the greater the risk of being burned.
