Kuruma Takahira (30) from ‘Reiwa Romance’ is experiencing great success with his first book, “Manzai Excessive Analysis.” The elite comedian, who dropped out of Keio University and achieved an unprecedented consecutive win at ‘M-1,’ has written a book that meticulously analyzes and discusses topics such as trial and error in material creation and selection, the evolution of ‘M-1,’ and the differences between television and traditional vaudeville. Within less than two months of its release, the book has become a bestseller, surpassing 100,000 copies sold.

In mid-January, our magazine witnessed a highly successful autograph signing event in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

“400 fans gathered at the venue, and there were even people waiting by the side entrance. Kuruma-san was happy to oblige when asked for photos” (event participant).

After the event, Kuruma, accompanied by two women who appeared to be staff members from his publisher, Tatsumi Publishing, took a taxi from the venue on the main street toward Ebisu. It seemed to be a celebration of the event’s success and the book’s popularity. After enjoying delicious meat for about two and a half hours, the group moved to a building crowded with snack bars.

The after-party ended just after 2 a.m. When Kuruma emerged from the building and hailed a taxi, one of the two women, a short-haired beauty resembling Hana Kuroki, got into the taxi with him. It seemed likely that she was accompanying the bestselling author home—but the taxi stopped in front of a luxury tower apartment. Both Kuruma and the woman got out and entered the building together. She didn’t leave the apartment until just before 11 a.m. the next day.

In the “FRIDAY” February 21–28 combined issue, released on February 7, and the paid version “FRIDAY GOLD,” we provide detailed coverage of the unexpected beauty who enjoyed an overnight date with Kuruma and exclusive footage from our direct interview with him.
