 June 2022 Takaaki Ishibashi, a member of the &#8220;Tonneruzu&#8221; group, in 2022. 60 (60) of &#8220;Tunnels&#8221; may make a spectacular comeback on terrestrial TV.
 At present, the only terrestrial programs that Ishibashi or the &#8220;Tonnels&#8221; have are the year-end and New Year&#8217;s specials &#8220;The Monomane That&#8217;s Too Fine to Tell&#8221; (Fuji Television) and &#8220;Dream Showdown! Sports King of Tonnels is Me! Special&#8221; (TV Asahi). Special&#8221; (TV Asahi). With Ishibashi in such a tight spot, Fuji TV is said to be offering him an appearance.

 It&#8217;s an hour-long comedy show based on the special program &#8220;~Denwarenai Monomane,&#8221; in which Ishibashi is the main MC. We are thinking of airing it as a regular program in the GP (Golden and Prime) band in April or July.
 What drove Fuji to do this? 21 years Fuji was moved to December December 2009 December 11, 2009 It was the household viewership rating for &#8220;~Densha Nai Monomane Vol. 4,&#8221; which aired on December 11, 2009.
 The ratings were as follows.9.1 This was a great accomplishment since there are only a few variety shows in a year that get the top spot.
 To begin with, Fuji and Ishibashi have what could be called a foul relationship. The relationship is more than 30 years. The relationship between Fuji and Ishibashi spans more than 30 years.
 The relationship between Fuji and Ishibashi goes back more than 30 years, starting with &#8220;Yuyake Nyan Nyan&#8221; and &#8220;Neruton Red Whale Gang. They have been friends for more than 30 years. ( (&#8220;Minamioka&#8221;). ) These programs contributed to Fuji&#8217;s golden age. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Fuji&#8217;s variety shows have walked hand in hand with the Tunnels.
<h2>Ishibashi&#8217;s intentions</h2>
 However, the times have changed, and the name &#8220;Tonnels&#8221; is no longer able to get the same ratings as before. In addition, the huge production cost of the program, which was not commensurate with the viewership ratings, was seen as a problem within Fuji.
 The production cost per episode of &#8220;Minamioka&#8221; was 4,000 ～4,000 ~ 5,000 It is said that the production cost per episode of &#8220;Minamioka&#8221; was 40 to 50 million yen. It is said that the production cost per episode of &#8220;Minamioka&#8221; was 40 to 50 million yen. The production cost of each episode of &#8220;Minamioka&#8221; was said to be 40 to 50 million yen, because of the large scale location shooting and the luxurious studio sets. Other stations 1,200 ～Other stations charge 1,200 yen per episode. 20 million yen per episode. This was at a time when other broadcasters were charging 12 to 20 million yen per production.
 In addition, Tonneluzu&#8217;s fee was 600 to ～to 8 million yen. I heard that Tonnels&#8217; fee was 6 to 8 million yen per episode. By the standards of variety shows, this was an extraordinarily high amount. At that time, no one could interfere with &#8220;Tonnels. At that time, no one could interfere with &#8220;Tonnels.

 Mr. Masayoshi Miyauchi, the former president of Fuji, took a scalpel to &#8220;Minamioka,&#8221; which could be called a sacred territory.
 Mr. Masaki Miyauchi, the former president of Fuji, decided to terminate &#8220;Minamioka&#8221; due to low viewership ratings. The fact that he had almost no contact with Ishibashi seems to have supported his decision,&#8221; said a Fuji insider.
 The wave of reforms was passed on to his predecessor, President Ryunosuke Endo.
 The wave of reform was also carried on by the previous president, Ryunosuke Endo, who terminated &#8220;Taimu Tonneru,&#8221; which was prepared as a replacement for &#8220;Minamioka,&#8221; and &#8220;Ishibashi, Burning Wood,&#8221; which was Ishibashi&#8217;s last terrestrial program. After cleaning up the problematic programs, he handed over the reins to the current president Osamu Kanemitsu.
 The only program that connects the struggling Ishibashi with Fuji TV is &#8220;~Denwarenai Monomane,&#8221; which is now a candidate for a regular role in the GP band. Originally, it was a spin-off project from &#8220;Dr. and the Assistant: Too Detailed to be Conveyed Monomane Championship,&#8221; a corner project that was extremely popular on &#8220;Minamioka.
 It was a spin-off project from the extremely popular &#8220;Dr. and the Assistant Professor: Too Fine to Convey Monomane Championship&#8221; on &#8220;Minamioka. From 18 From 2006 to 21 years Year December The numbers up to the third episode were okay, but it was the fourth episode that attracted attention in the programming. The third episode was okay, but it was the fourth episode that attracted a lot of attention in the programming, and it became the talk of the TV world as a god episode.
 With the success of the fourth episode, Ishibashi was approached by Fuji about the possibility of a regular program. This time, the cost will be less. It is said that this time, the cost will not be so high. I&#8217;m not sure what to expect.
 He told them that he would leave everything up to the station, including the set and the guests, at the production side&#8217;s price. When Ishibashi heard that it would not be a special program but a regular program, he was so happy that he thought he had a chance.
 It is easy to understand why Ishibashi took a completely different approach from before. One reason is that he was asked to participate in &#8220;Tonnels&#8217; Sports King is Me! Special&#8221; (on the TV Asahi network) is being whispered to be ending. Special&#8221; (TV Asahi). YouTube The second is the success of the YouTube program &#8220;Ki-chan-nezu,&#8221; which is his main battleground.
 The number of subscribers to the channel is currently over 1.6 million. The second is the success of his YouTube program, &#8220;Kichannelazu. His income is incomparable to what it was when he was active at the height of his TV career. That&#8217;s why the appearance fee was quoted.
 As time went by, the interests of Ishibashi and Fuji were once again aligned. Will they be able to regain their old glory with the new program?
