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 &#8230;. The moment I thought that, the window on the left side opened and the face that came out was, as expected, Nobu (43) of &#8220;Chidori&#8221; fame.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The car is a Mercedes Benz worth 11,420,000 yen that he purchased as part of a project for Chidori&#8217;s TV program &#8220;TV Chidori&#8221; (TV Asahi) that aired in &#8217;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&#8217;s Instagram, he lamented that his fans would often recognize him when he was driving around town (laughs)&#8221; (source from Yoshimoto Kogyo).
Immediately after purchasing the Mercedes Benz, Nobu appeared at a movie event,
 He said, &#8220;My son is riding in the back seat with me. It&#8217;s a nice car, so he&#8217;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&#8221; (at the opening event of the movie &#8220;TAXi: The Diamond Mission&#8221; held on January 15, 2007).
(at the opening event of the movie &#8220;Taxi: The Diamond Mission&#8221; 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, &#8220;Weekly Women&#8217;s PRIME&#8221; reported on April 20 that some people have been having problems with his tsukkomi on &#8220;TV Chidori&#8221;. Chidori did a street location in a shopping district in Arakawa Ward, and his partner Daigo (43) asked Nobu, &#8220;How about for your wife?&#8221; and his partner Daigo (43) recommended a small black bag to Nobu, saying, &#8220;How about for a wife?
 &#8220;A dog shit bag?
This caused a firestorm on the Internet.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Nobu has repeatedly come under fire for comments such as, &#8220;I want to have an affair with a female celebrity in real life,&#8221; 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&#8217;t turn out to be serious. However, due to the fact that Masao Hamada (59) of &#8220;Downtown&#8221; 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.

 A little past 6:00 p.m. in late April, a Mercedes Benz appeared at a gas station in Tokyo. The convertible with a pure white body and blue top stood out. This car looks familiar somewhere. .... Just as I thought, "I've seen this car somewhere before," the left side window opened and out came a face that was exactly as I had expected.
