The surprising reason why a “famous doctor” who served as a doctor for ASKA and Kazuhiro Kiyohara “secretly met” with a comedian, Croquette, in Azabu.

One night in late June, Korokke (64), one of the four former monomaniacs, entered a building near Azabu-juban Station.

Croquette entered with a woman with bobbed hair. She was walking with a cane. The restaurant they entered was a creative cuisine restaurant produced by Mr. Korokke, and it is a high-class restaurant that charges no less than 20,000 yen per customer.

A few minutes later, an elderly man came into the building, being held by the men on either side of him. The man, who wears an eye patch over his left eye and seems to have difficulty walking without support, is Dr. Takahisa Hiraishi, a doctor who served as the primary physician for ASKA (66) of “CHAGE and ASKA” and former professional baseball player Kazuhiro Kiyohara (56). A person related to the clinic that Hiraishi had opened continued.

Mr. Hiraishi is also in charge of managing Mr. Korokke’s physical condition. It’s been 30 years now. We are also close in private, and Mr. Hiraishi calls Mr. Korokke ‘my best friend in the entertainment world. I frequently went to see him perform on stage.”

Mr. Hiraishi became famous because of a certain treatment.

The biggest selling point of Mr. Hiraishi’s clinic is “garlic injections,” which instantly relieve fatigue. It is said that busy top entertainers and celebrities used to come to his clinic for this purpose. The clinic occupied an entire floor of a building in Roppongi and was a gorgeous space lined with expensive furnishings,” said an entertainment reporter for a sports newspaper.

However, in June 2002, the medical corporation headed by Mr. Hiraishi went bankrupt. The clinic was also closed. He, too, disappeared from the public eye, and his personal life was shrouded in mystery. A person related to the clinic continued, “Last year, Mr. Hiraishi went into bankruptcy.

Last year, Mr. Hiraishi suffered a stroke and was bedridden for about three months. After eight months of rehabilitation, he recovered enough to go out to dinner. I was told that on that day, a meeting was held to gather sponsors for Mr. Hiraishi, who is about to open a new clinic in Ginza.

With the help of his best friend, will he be able to make a comeback?
