Revival of the Seventh Generation of Comedy Led by Soshina

The regular members of the popular variety show “New Key” (Fuji TV) served as general hosts for “FNS 27-Hour TV: Japan’s Most Enjoyable School Festival! (Fuji TV), which was broadcast over two days on July 20 and 21, and ended on a high note.

The program was aired for two days on July 20 and 21, and was well received. “SHIMOFURI MYOJO,” “Chocolate Planet,” and “Hanako,” as well as the staff in their 30s who served as the overall directors, were young, and before the broadcast, there were concerns. However, when the show opened, individual viewership, which indicates how many people in a household were watching, averaged 4.0%, and the core audience (13-49 year olds) 4.6%. 6.9% for individuals and 7.8% for the core audience from 18:30 on the 21st to the end, setting new Fuji records for this year. The program’s laugh-out-loud and tearful programming featuring students also stuck with the parents’ generation. NTV, the broadcaster of “24 Hour TV,” is getting very impatient.

In particular, the show’s facilitator, Gyoshin (31), continued to provide topics of conversation throughout the program, which was praised as “Gyoshin Gekijo” and contributed to the viewer ratings.

Although “SHIMOFURI MYOJO” was once regarded as a wacky act after the end of its own program, it is highly regarded in the TV industry for its ability to make people laugh both as a duo and as a stand-up comedian, as well as for its MC skills. He is a genius who won both the “M-1 Grand Prix” and the “R-1 Guranpuri” at a young age. Besides, his partner Seiya (31) is a TV kid. They know which TV shows can make the most of their charms. It is more correct to say that they are narrowing down the number of programs they appear on rather than decreasing the number of regulars.

In addition to their individual potential, another good point is that the duo gets along well with each other.

The usually tongue-tied Kohin got a lot of attention for a picture of him weeping at Seiya’s wedding. Now that Reiwa is in a state of flux, it is more popular with both sponsors and viewers if the duo’s good rapport is conveyed. Coarse is also active as an artist. Seiya, on the other hand, is also involved with various talents as a pin-up artist. It is also attractive that both have a wide range of activities,” said an advertising agency official.

According to the producer of the key station mentioned above, it is the members of “Johnson” (TBS) who are said to have “lit a fire under their butts” with the success of “27 Hours TV.

The “Kamaitachi,” which plays a leadership role in “Johnson,” was the overall host of last year’s “27-Hour TV,” so it is easy to make a simple comparison. In fact, people are beginning to say that the two members of “Kamaitachi” do not have the numbers. The “6th.5 Generation of Comedy,” which included them, flourished, but the numbers proved that the “7th Generation,” which is more goofy and can face amateur participants passionately, is more popular with viewers than the edgy comedy that they are good at in the golden zone. Hanako,” who had a reputation for being “hard to use outside of comedy,” has quickly gained recognition for her honesty in “27 Hours TV,” which brought tears to the eyes of the audience. Even for the rough stuff, it is only the talent of the same industry that directs their venom at them. He treats the amateurs who participate in the program with respect, which makes it easier to use him from a television standpoint.”

The “Seventh Generation,” which had been labeled as a “wacko” group, has begun to emerge as a result of the reevaluation led by its leader, Coarse.
