Kazuya Shimasa and Hiromasa Yashiki of New York: Busy traveling at high speed to their next jobs
News on the Scene, FRIDAY, Eyewitness! Harikomi 24, Yurakucho, 12:45 p.m.
Kazuya Shimasa (35) and Hiromasa Yashiki (35) of the comedian duo “New York” are rapidly rising in popularity after winning second place in last year’s “King of Contrast 2020. It was mid-October when I saw them at Nippon Broadcasting System (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo).
I saw them at Nippon Broadcasting System (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) in mid-October, when they were expected to be candidates to win this year’s “King of Contrast 2021,” but they came in last place. However, they were criticized on the Internet for appealing to Downtown’s Hitoshi Matsumoto (58) to let them start over, but they left a mark with their talk skills that were not typical of young performers.
(TV station insiders) The reason the two attracted attention in the first place was that their muddiness as 6.5 generation comedians biting into the seventh generation of comedy was supported by fans with a taste for the experts.
In April, he became a regular performer on “Lovitt! (TBS) in April, their number of young female fans has increased, but they actually have a lot of male fans as well.
On this day, too, only men were waiting for the two of them. Yashiki repeatedly bowed to the fans after getting into the cab. I guess their humility is another part of their charm.
