Unconventional Thinking Wins Hearts: Kazushige Nagashima Surprised by Unexpected Cheers Amidst Ongoing Challenges
On January 4, TV Asahi announced that “Zawatsuku” had recorded an annual average viewer rating of 7.4% for the year ’23, ranking first among all regular variety shows on the network. This is the first time that TV Asahi’s variety program has achieved this feat since 1997, when individual viewership began to be measured. The majority of its viewers are housewives, so his popularity is understandable,” said a person involved in the production of commercial variety shows.
On February 2, Kazushige caused controversy with a problematic comment on “Zawatsuku. Talking about his recent medical hair removal, he began by saying, “I only had the VIO done anyway. Then,
Even I am embarrassed. Two women I don’t know are going to come and look at everything about me. I said, ‘Now that you’ve seen everything about me, why don’t the three of you have dinner together? I said, ‘Well, you’ve seen everything about me, so why don’t the three of us have dinner together?
He revealed. The “Smart Flash” film, which was released on February 4, was reportedly criticized on social networking sites,
It’s disgusting to be on the air. I’m really nauseous.
A typical example of someone who is unaware that he is harassing others.
It is a typical example of harassment without awareness,” etc. However, the SNS also reported the following comments,
“It’s a program made by gathering three people whose thinking is not common from the beginning.
I’m laughing out loud at Kazushige’s words and actions. If you watch a variety show and have to be disciplined about every word of it, it will be a boring show.
There were not a few defenses of Mr. Kazushige.
He is a natural character at first glance, but he always says that he is not suited for television, and even his outspoken pet theories, he says, “If it’s NG, the station can cut it out. It seems that he is prepared to do so to the extent that he would have no choice if he were to be hung out to dry. There are not many TV personalities who can speak out without such a discovery, so it must be refreshing for viewers of the same generation to watch him” (TV magazine writer).
(TV magazine writer) Kazushige’s rapid progress is likely to continue.
