<p> Hi, I&#8217;m here!　Bakkyun from Kyun. Wow, wow, wow, wow!　This is Kuro, who found out that this greeting is not good to be written (laughs).</p>
<p> Thankfully, I have decided to write a series of articles in &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221;!　How long it will continue is up to you, the readers. So I hope you will read it. So when I was thinking of a theme for the memorable first issue, at first I thought it would be good to have a compelling theme.</p>
<p> So I asked the staff around me about it, and they all said, &#8220;Wednesday&#8217;s Downtown! I thought, &#8220;Wednesday&#8217;s Downtown! So this time, I wanted to talk about how I survived in the harsh and crazy show &#8220;Wednesday&#8217;s Downtown,&#8221; and what kind of determination I had to face it. I&#8217;m going to write about how I survived in the harsh and crazy show &#8220;Wednesday&#8217;s Downtown&#8221; and what kind of determination I had to face it without hiding!</p>
<p> Normally, I don&#8217;t show the backstage of a variety show, but after reading this, I&#8217;m sure there will be at least one person who thinks, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t Kuro-chan actually amazing? I&#8217;ll start with the faint hope that at least one person will read this and think, &#8220;Kuro-chan is actually amazing!</p>

<h3><span class="strongInContent"> I don&#8217;t want to do it again.</span><span class="strongInContent"> The &#8220;famous project&#8221; that I don&#8217;t want to do again</span></h3>
<p> I&#8217;m often asked, &#8220;What was the toughest episode? But this is not a question of &#8220;physical fitness&#8221;. But it depends on whether it was &#8220;physical&#8221; or &#8220;mental. The &#8220;physically&#8221; toughest was the &#8220;Kuro-chan: Life on a desert island&#8221; episode. That was really tough.</p>
<p> The day before we were taken to the desert island, we were drinking in Kansai. There, they made me drink until I couldn&#8217;t remember a thing. When I woke up, I was not in Kansai, but in my bed in my room. At that time, I was so hungover and my head hurt that I didn&#8217;t have time to think. So when I opened the door, the kitchen was supposed to be there, but the ocean was spreading out, and I had no idea what was going on. My head was aching from the hangover, and I couldn&#8217;t help but sit up when I saw the view spread out in front of me (laughs).</p>
<p> (Laughs.) I thought, &#8220;This is probably a Wednesday surprise. But I didn&#8217;t know where the cameras were, and there was no one on staff.</p>
<p> So I found a Go-Pro and started talking, picked up a ball that had fallen out, and did what I could to help. At that time, I really felt that this was a location that could only be done on &#8220;Wednesday&#8217;s Downtown. It would never have been allowed on a regular TV show, and it would never have happened. But that&#8217;s why I said to myself, &#8220;This is my job,&#8221; and went through it all by myself for three days. I never want to go through something like that again!</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" I was pissed off at the show&#39;s famous producer!"></div>
<h3><span class="strongInContent">SNS</span><span class="strongInContent"> I was even blocked on social networking sites!</span></h3>
<p> The hardest part of a surprise is not knowing when it will end. This is what destroys the spirit the most, and the most applicable is the theory that anything becomes interesting if you add &#8220;early morning&#8221; to it. In this case, they are suddenly &#8220;captured&#8221; in the evening and made to sleep in a designated place, and the next day in the early morning, they are suddenly made to wrestle or play tug-of-war.</p>
<p> But I was never given any explanation, so I kept wondering, &#8220;How many days is this going to last? I kept feeling uneasy. &#8230;&#8230; On the first day, we did the 50m hurdles, but as we were doing it, I thought to myself, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t getting interesting &#8230;&#8230;. I felt like it wouldn&#8217;t work as it was, so I tried really hard to make it look like I was arguing with Komiya-kun (Sanshiro).</p>
<p> When I went home thinking that the recording was over, the staff brought a camera that night and said, &#8220;Oh, this is a one-day project. I was horrified and thought, &#8220;Oh, this is not just a one-day project. &#8230;&#8230; And then the second day, and the third day, and around the fifth day, the staff around me didn&#8217;t say anything, but I thought it was over for me. But on the first Monday of the week, the staff came to see me again. I was really desperate at that time because I didn&#8217;t expect the surprise to continue with the introduction of a two-day workweek.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> It was such a harsh surprise, but I was able to make it through to the end because I realized something. While we were being put to sleep in a designated area, we had to wear eye masks, and the rule was that if we needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, we had to raise our hands.</p>
<p> I raised my hand and within 30 seconds, a staff member came and took me to the restroom. If they are bad, they might have a harder time than me.&#8221; That&#8217;s when I realized that I had to work hard. Well, I&#8217;m following up like this, but they really are a crazy bunch of people (laughs).</p>
<p> (laughs) Also, despite all the hard work I put in, Kentaro Fujii, the producer of the program, has never once given me a hard time!　I&#8217;ve only talked to him a few times on the set, and there was a time when he blocked me on X (formerly known as Twitter). What the heck, Shin? (Angry)</p>
<p> But I did thank him once. It was &#8220;Mizudau&#8221; that made me meet my ex-girlfriend Richi, so when I said &#8220;Thank you for giving me a woman&#8221; when I met her at the site, Mr. Fujii dismissed it as &#8220;a disgusting thing to say&#8221;.</p>
<p> And a week later, I was buried on a deserted island in the &#8220;Great Escape&#8221; (DMM), a TV show produced by Mr. Fujii!　Hell!　It&#8217;s a waste of time to be thankful!</p>

<h3><span class="strongInContent"> I want you to introduce me to my next girlfriend as soon as possible.&#8221;</span></h3>
<p> Sometimes she says, &#8220;You&#8217;re actually aware of the surprise, aren&#8217;t you?&#8221; I&#8217;m sometimes told, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know. But I really don&#8217;t know. Of course, there is no script, and I don&#8217;t know what will happen.</p>
<p> In the past, I used to get hurt every time someone called me &#8220;weird,&#8221; but I realized that getting depressed wouldn&#8217;t change anything and would only cause me to lose money. So I began to think that it would be more beneficial to use it against me and turn it into a laugh. Now, I consciously transform it into a weapon.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In the past, I used to think to myself, &#8220;What is this program? I used to sincerely think, &#8220;What a show! It&#8217;s physically hard and there are a lot of psychological attacks, so I just get stressed out. Even when people around me said, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad you got the buzz,&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t be happy about it. But then I realized that no matter how much it pissed me off as I appeared on the show, if it ended up being a topic of conversation, that was fine, and it would help spread my name. It pisses me off, but it&#8217;s a show I trust. It also helped me meet my ex-girlfriend Richi.</p>
<p> Finally, I have something to say to &#8220;Wednesday Downtown&#8221;. When are you going to make a plan to introduce new girlfriends?　I want you to introduce them as soon as possible!　Until then, I&#8217;ll stand up to any kind of surprise!</p>
