The Making of “Linda Color Infinity” Runner-Up of Omoshiro Sou

The next one will win the world”!

Den, Taiko, and Rinapippi of the comedy trio “Linda Color ∞” won second place in “Gurunai Omoshiro-so” (Nippon Television Network Corporation) on New Year’s Day 2012, and are now sought after for their variety shows. Where did they come from and where are they headed?

We asked them to speak frankly about their current situation, including how the trio was formed, how “Charismanzai” came to be, the influence of their unit live members, episodes with their closest senior comedians, and the background behind Taiko’s character that made Daigo of Chidori say, “I’m going to win the world next. Taiko is our secret weapon.

Taiko is our secret weapon.

–On New Year’s Day this year, he won second place in the “Gurunai Omoshiro-so” competition. Since then, Rinapippi has been the main actor on “Chance no Jikan” (AbemaTV), Taiko has appeared on “Aiseki Shokudo” (ABC TV), and other individual activities have also been remarkable.

Den: To be honest, I had a vague idea about Rinapippi, but the speed to Taiko was too fast. Daigo-san from Chidori is crazy (laughs). (Laughs.) It was Chidori who first found out how to make Rinapippi interesting, so I can only be grateful to him, but I think he found it a little faster than I had planned. But I think he found it faster than I did. He said, “Taiko is our secret weapon, so please let me hide it.

Taiko: I appreciate that. I am simply surprised that I can get so much work after 5 or 6 years of no sales. What I do has changed a lot from before.

Rinapippi：I enjoy doing different things every day. I think I am more excited about the variety of things I can do than anxious.

Den：Rinapippi has a different potential. Before a performance, both the performers and the staff are a little tense. Only Rinappi is drawing on the whiteboard backstage (laughs). I think that mindset must come from their roots, and I think they are not ordinary comedians in the way they sit on their stomachs.
