Could those people be &#8230;&#8230;?&#8221;
 The curious gazes of people passing by were drawn to the sight of two large women walking side by side. It was a sight to behold: Anri (28) and Chika Tanabe (39) of the comedy quartet &#8220;Boru Juku,&#8221; who are now sought after on variety shows, were standing proudly in the station building (Shinjuku Ward).

Their presence stood out among the people passing by.</figcaption></figure>
 On an evening in mid-July, the two appeared at a select store after their daytime performance at &#8220;Lumine the Yoshimoto&#8221;. Apparently, they were there to do a little shopping before the evening performance. Tanabe was looking for a limited-edition product that was being sold in collaboration with the &#8220;Barbie&#8221; movie, so she picked up the product and proceeded to the cash register to purchase it. She left the store with a satisfied look on her face.
 As soon as they left the store, a female fan noticed Anri and Tanabe and approached them excitedly, clasped her palms together in front of her chest, and called out to them, seemingly unable to contain her excitement. With the time for the evening performance approaching, it was impressive to see the two respond with smiles on their faces without a hint of disgust.

 Anri has a reputation for being able to talk well and return teasing with quick quips like Haruna Kondo (40) of &#8220;Harisenbon&#8221; fame. Tanabe is a professional in the field of &#8220;food,&#8221; as she professes, &#8220;I love to eat. Since there are many programs dealing with food in the prime time slot, it is easy for producers to use them.
 Both of them have perfect talk skills, and their tongue-in-cheek remarks and funny retorts, which are not common among female comedians these days, are particularly popular among female fans.
 They are also highly rated on TV. His popularity is likely to increase even more with his divine response in his private life as well.

 The curious eyes of people passing by the store were drawn to the sight of two large women walking side by side. It was the two large women of the comedy quartet "Boru Juku," which is now a popular variety show.

The “divine response” shown to fans while shopping! Why are “BORUJUKU” Anri and Tanabe Chika so useful on TV?
