Nyanko Star Angora Village Mayor Reveals True Relationship with Partner on Path to King of Conte Finals
That said, I also consider my jump rope routine as a treasure. In fact, I’m a member of the Manzai Association and occasionally perform at the Toyo Theater in Asakusa. The jump rope routine surprisingly appeals to elderly men and women as well.
In the Manzai Association, there are many seniors who continue to perform their routines as they age. I think about paths like appearing in shorts and holding a jump rope even when I turn 80, with Mr. 3-suke shouting that there’s a path like that too.”
Angora Village Mayor caused a big stir with their first gravure photoshoot, but at the end of the day, they are still a comedian.
“Other comedians around me responded that it’s actually good regarding the gravure, and many people bought it. It was a strange realization for me to see a different side of myself than what I had in mind.
But still, my greatest ideal is to make a living by doing jokes and receiving money for them. I think this gravure hit because I was a comedian, it was the end of my twenties, and those conditions overlapped. I fully understand that I’m not an idol. Therefore, I want to stay grounded and continue doing jokes.”
Coincidentally, Zofi, known for his gag “Che de datte!” was also present at the solo live performance. Zofi had been a finalist in King of Conte twice before disbanding in November 2011. Saito is currently running an izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
In the tough world of comedy, Angora Village Mayor continues to walk towards the future, spurred on by the idols they have long admired.
