<p>On May 11, Ryubei Ueshima of the comedy trio &#8220;Dacho Club&#8221; passed away at the age of 61. The opening sentence is part of a comment made by Katsuhiro Higo (59), the leader of the group, following his death. Fans were relieved by the upbeat comments, which were typical of the &#8220;Ostrich Club,&#8221; but Higo and Jimon Terakado (59) were said to be quite exhausted. Immediately after Ueshima&#8217;s death, this magazine captured Higo and Terakado on location for the drama.</p>

<p>Higo and Terakado were playing regular customers at a teishokuya (set restaurant) with Ueshima in the drama &#8220;Yangotake no Ichizoku&#8221; (Fuji Television Network), which began airing in April. On the day of the shooting without Ueshima, the atmosphere at the site was said to be somber.</p>
<p><strong> Terakado-san and Higo-san were clearly tired and seemed to feel sorry for their co-stars. The costumes were red, blue, and yellow, the colors of a signal when the three of them were together, and everyone naturally thought that the three of them would be able to crank it up together. &#8230;&#8230;</strong></p>
