Former House of Representatives member Yutaka Ando, who “participated in M-1 with a partner suspected of adultery,” now “launched a political organization” with a “woman suspected of adultery.

Last year, Yutaka Ando, 58, a former member of the House of Representatives, formed the comedy duo “Deficit Kuroshi” with an alleged lover and entered the “M-1 Grand Prix. This unusual challenge attracted a great deal of attention.

Mr. Ando served three terms in the House of Representatives beginning in 2000, but left politics in 2009 after a scandal involving an affair with Daina (age undisclosed), a multi-talented TV personality who is also active as a host. Last year, however, he participated in the “M-1 Grand Prix” with his partner. The result was a first-round loss, but the impact was significant,” said a reporter from the political section of a national newspaper.

The two men flatly denied the reports of their affair. Ohna still rages that the affair scandal was fabricated by a certain Diet member as part of a conspiracy. The next challenge they chose was to launch a political organization. The name of the group is “Deficit and Black Surplus,” the same as the duo’s name, and the two plan to carry out activities in opposition to the invoice system. The “STOP! Invoice National Revolt” will be held on June 14, and the Kyoto venue will be hosted by “Deficit Kuroshi. The launch of the organization was announced at the end of the event to the participants. He reveals the circumstances that led to the activity as follows.

Ando: “I believe that the invoice system is, in the extreme, ‘a tax increase aimed at pinpointing those who have no money. Besides, the economy is cooling down right now. It is also the wrong time to raise taxes. We are thinking of taking action to make this point widely known.

Ohna: “I have been saying my opposition to the invoice system on Sensei’s (Ando’s) YouTube “Hiroshi’s Point of View” since the beginning of this year. I have been working with Reiwa Shin-Sen-Gumi representative Taro Yamamoto (48) and others because we had a lot in common on economic policy, but I knew I couldn’t rely on them forever.

So we decided to start a political organization. The implementation of the invoice system is coming up in October. Senshi is the president and I am the treasurer.”

In the middle of the meeting, there was a scene in which he used the experience he gained from “M-1”. In order to convey the problems of the invoice system, the two performers put on wigs and changed into suicide suits to perform a skit. A character who was a villain, an invoice zombie, attacked event attendees, telling them to “register” or “sign up,” and if they registered for invoice, they would become zombies. The countermeasure here is Operation Boycott. Even if they register for Invoice, if they write a “withdrawal form,” they will revert from zombies to humans.

Ohna said, “The script was written by me the day before. We practiced on the way to the venue, but it was almost a rehearsal. But we both had guts and our tongues are good, so we were able to pull it off without a hitch.

Ando: “I am currently opposed to the invoice system, but I would like to use this as a starting point to let many people know about the true nature of consumption tax. Since many people from the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party are objecting to the invoice system, some people are concerned about the color of their political party, or are even against the system, saying that the system is a good one. However, we want to persist in saying that what is wrong is wrong. Our goal is to abolish the consumption tax.”

They said they filed their group’s notification in Kyoto Prefecture, but if called upon, they intend to travel around the country to carry out their activities. In closing, the two men said in unison.

We want to be called everywhere,” said Daina!　Call us anywhere in Japan!

You both have guts!

They called out with smiles on their faces.

They will continue to participate in “M-1” this summer in parallel with their activities for their political organization. The challenge of “deficit and surplus” will continue.
