Shinya Ueda of “Kurimu” has “bitter memories of Friday ……” “Anguish and Reward” in his 33-year career as a performer.

As an MC, he is also bound by compliance when he is in charge of a program.

“Before, I could say, ‘You’re an idiot! Now I have to at least say “idiot” in situations where I would have normally said “You’re an idiot! Even female comedians who play the good girl used to be able to give a hard time with more forceful words, but now they are called “lookism,” so they have to say something like, “You’re so noisy! But now it’s called “lookism,” so it’s just “Shut up! Especially on live TV, I have to apply the brakes more forcefully. There are many times when I reflect on my actions later and say, ‘I could have been stronger.

Ueda, however, has none of the “good old days” that are characteristic of older men. Does he ever feel suffocated by the current entertainment industry?

It’s true that we have to be more careful, but that doesn’t mean that the way we used to do things is the right way. Our generation doesn’t understand the sense of harassment. Since childhood, it was common for children to be beaten up by coaches and school teachers during club activities, and it was also normal for parents to say, “If my child misbehaves, please beat him up.
But in this day and age, it is impossible to instill discipline through violence. There are many other ways of communicating discipline. In Reiwa, rather than updating the Showa era’s sense of discipline, we should at least deny the Showa era’s sense of discipline. Otherwise, I think it would be something to be ashamed of.
