Referring to Hitoshi Matsumoto’s return plan… “After” King Kong Akihiro Nishino’s walk date with his “girlfriend of 10 years

Akihiro Nishino, 44, of ”King Kong,” now has a stronger image as a picture book author and businessman than as a comedian. There is a woman who has been supporting his activities for more than 10 years. The following is a look back at the details based on an article we published on July 10, 2012.

Nishino’s sudden display of “eccentric behavior

He’s a famous YouTube star, isn’t he?

In mid-afternoon in mid-June 2012, Akihiro Nishino of “King Kong” fame was walking down a street in Tokyo, so unprotected that passersby involuntarily looked at him twice. Nishino, dressed in his training clothes, was staring at everyone around him as he headed for a personal gym. After working out there for about an hour, he met up with a brown-haired woman. The two began walking, chatting and laughing.

The woman with Nishino was his girlfriend, Ms. A. As Nishino himself revealed, they met at a cabaret club where she worked and started dating around ’11. They have been open about this “10-year love,” and Nishino has mentioned it several times at events” (sports newspaper entertainment reporter).

After stopping at a convenience store on the way to get hot snacks, the two headed for a park crowded with couples and families. After stopping at a convenience store to get some hot snacks, they headed to a park that was crowded with couples and families.

He started walking in a circle around the 500-meter perimeter of the park, touching his phone as he went. Meanwhile, the woman who was with him was kept waiting on a bench at a distance” (a student at the park).

One lap, two laps ……. Nishino’s “walking” lasted about an hour. What was that all about? Is he and his “love of 10 years” on track to make it to the finish line? Later, we directly interviewed Nishino himself.

It’s usually ″she″!

– the other day, I was circling the park while leaving her alone, but …….

(Laughs.) “What? (Laughs) Oh, I walk there all the time. I have an online salon, and I was writing an article to post on the salon on my phone while I was walking.”

–The girlfriend waiting on the bench is your long-time girlfriend, isn’t she, Mr. A?

Yes.”

–In March ’21, in your own blog, you gave several reasons as to why “Nishino can’t get married,” such as “I often work at home, so I don’t want to put unnecessary things in the house.

Do you still feel the same way? I work at home a lot, and I don’t want to clutter it up (with more furniture and other things due to marriage). ……”

–Are you and Mr. A married in fact?

No, not really.

–I guess you must be very compatible for a love affair to last 13 years.

I suppose it could be.

–What kind of person is Ms. A?

She is a normal “girlfriend.

–What is your occupation, Mr. A?

She helps me with my daily life.

I’d like to ask Matsumoto-san once again: ……”

–Mr. Nishino, what are you doing these days? Are you moving forward with your goal of a Broadway production of “Pupel”?

You might think I’m on a roll if I say so myself, but I’m making good progress.’ We did a show for investors in January of 2012, and we raised the money. So I think I can take the next step.”

–Do you have any desire to go back to being a comedian?

The other day, he appeared on “Ametalk! (TV Asahi, aired June 27, 2012), and it’s a lot of fun to go to the field of comedian work sometimes. But I am so busy with ‘Pupel’ and other work I have that it is difficult to have a regular show.”

–What do you think of Hitoshi Matsumoto’s allegations of sexual assault?

I don’t think you’ve heard that I was drinking with the Minato Ward girls, but I’ve never participated in a drinking party like that. So I don’t really know the groove. But personally, I would like to see Matsumoto-san (on TV) again. ……

In the middle of the interview, the cab that picked us up left, and Nishino said, “Please give me a ride to Shibuya! A FRIDAY reporter gave a lift to Nishino, who said, “Please give me a ride to Shibuya! In the car, Nishino complained, “I get beaten up for being a miser,” but she was happy to answer questions.

It is probably because of her understanding of his special view of marriage that Nishino continues to be active.

Nishino discusses Matsumoto’s plans to return to ……

On October 31, 2012, Nishino appeared for the first time in eight months on the morning information program “Lavit! (TBS) on October 31, 2012. 28-year-old Mako Tamura, the MC of the program, told the audience that Nishino had not appeared on the program for a long time because the other contestants had teased him so much that the negotiations for his appearance had been difficult. The message, “Absolutely no teasing,” was prominently displayed on the TV screen. Nishino looked flustered,

No, no. Let me say something. Let me say it. I did tell the staff. The staff here are idiots. They put ‘NG’ on the message.

He explained. The studio was then filled with excitement as an electronic billboard, a banner, and glasses saying “Please don’t ever tease Nishino-san” appeared.

Nishino, who also expressed his feelings for Matsumoto in a direct interview with this magazine, updated his voice platform “Voicy” on December 26, ’24. He expressed his personal opinion on the fact that Hitoshi Matsumoto (61) of “Downtown” fame is launching his own platform this spring and is aiming for a comeback.

He said, “I personally think it’s insanely good. After all, it is too dangerous in this day and age to have a person with that much talent having a sponsor at the helm of his activities.”

As for the turmoil, he added, “I am not sure about the pros and cons of the trouble, or whether he will return,

I don’t intend to comment on the merits or demerits of the trouble, or on the timing of his return,” he said.

I’m not going to say anything about the merits of the trouble or the timing of my return,” he said,

“However, I think that having one pay-per-subscribe channel as a way to get back to work is a very good idea in this day and age.

He expressed his support for the idea. Many people on SNS commented favorably on this, saying, “Nishino-san has established himself as a comedian who gets teased and is as versatile as ever,” and “Nishino is a genius after all. Nishino used to be a regular on the top of the list of comedians that we disliked, but it seems that he has come full circle and is becoming more likable.
