Tomonori Jinnai Concerned About Temperature Difference with Viewers in Nagano Majigire Incident

Did the “ancient blood” stir up――.

Recently, a major topic in the comedy world is Tomonori Jinnai’s “Majigire Incident.”

On June 22nd, in the broadcast of “Sanma’s Comedy Improvement Committee” (Fuji TV), the solo comedian Nagano said:

“Doing things like a clever monkey.”

“Slightly carbonated.”

He repeatedly uttered abusive remarks. Faced with persistent teasing, Jinnai exclaimed,

“Should I discipline you!”

He then stood up from his seat, chased after Nagano, and finally pushed him down to the floor, restraining Nagano’s long hair in a mounted position.

This spectacle led MC Akashiya Sanma and other comedians on the dais to burst into laughter. On the internet, voices describing Jinnai’s intense demeanor as angry outburst and broadcast accident were widespread.

Jinnai himself appeared on the June 29 broadcast of the same program.

“I wasn’t angry at all,” 

He denied. Continuing, 

“I just got irritated for a moment when I thought something might happen.”

And changed it to laughter, working to calm things down.

Nagano, who was on the receiving end, reflected on the recording at the same time as the June 25 broadcast of “Panther Mukai’s # Furatto” (TBS Radio).

“Seeking some excitement. My adrenaline was pumping, but it only made me feel gloomy afterwards.” 

He solemnly explained.

Nyanco Star Super Sanjyo, who has interactions with Nagano, testified on a net radio show streamed last month on the 27th that Nagano was feeling down, saying, 

“The entertainment industry is in trouble. It’s hopeless.”

Onikoshi Tomahawk recounted on his own YouTube that he heard from program staff:

“Jinnai-san’s eyes were wide and it was dangerous, wondering what to do. It was a long cut, but we managed to piece it all together and make it broadcastable.”

And exposed.

Entertainment industry insiders who witnessed the scene:

“They didn’t blur Jinnai-san’s face in the broadcast while he was in the mounted position, which was really bad. Nagano, seeing that face from below, lost his fighting spirit, and after the battle, he was in a state of absent-mindedness. Sanma-san was desperately trying to cover for him, but he said to himself that he can’t do that anymore with tears in his eyes.” 

They testified.

While Jinnai is now calm, he was known for being harp-edged in his early days. His arrogant attitude once angered senior celebrities.

His contemporary comedian, Kendo Kobayashi, once said,

“He was really scary. He still had that yankee vibe. His stare was intense.”

And confessed. Jinnai and Kobayashi met when they auditioned together at the Shinsaibashi-suji 2-chome Theater.

“I see, you’re Kobayashi. Shall I see what you’ve got?”

And reportedly spat on the ground.

Unexpected incidents not in the script sometimes bring big laughs. This time in the comedy world,

“It was really hilarious.”

“It was thrilling.”

“This is what I wanted to see.”

Meanwhile, while there has been widespread praise, voices online and elsewhere are questioning,

“What’s funny about that?”

“That’s just an act of violence, isn’t it?”

“Nagano couldn’t stand it.”

These comments from viewers are more numerous than expected, creating a significant temperature difference.

“Completely entertainment,” officials from Yoshimoto have said

“He just briefly reverted to his old self. He quickly smiled and turned it into laughter.”

And they are not concerned at all.

On the other hand, Minamikawa, formerly of Shochiku Entertainment, commented on Onikoshi’s YouTube, saying,

“Because Yoshimoto’s people call that comedy, it’s an incredible agency.”

Expressed in surprise.

The trend of “if it’s funny, it’s okay” continues in the comedy world. However, amidst stricter compliance standards, it seems undeniable that violent comedy acts are becoming less accepted by viewers.
