A new word that can be used for the next 100 years might be born? Isn't it wonderful? Kashiwagi plans to hold "Japanese Comedy Festival"

We have gathered members who are focused on expressing the fun of words through manzai.

Kashiwagi has been speaking in Japanese for a long time. When she said "future" just now, it was a live performance where people who said "featured" would gather.

Did Kashiwagi-san also choose the members? I'm grateful. This live performance will be the first time that the "1st Fantasy Common Sense Championship Tournament" will be held, which will be the 5th performance in which I will be performing.

Words are sounds that express everyone's common consciousness and are imbued with meaning, so I thought that putting common fantasies into words would be purely fun as a word game.

That's what I really love about words. For example, in physics, light is the fastest thing in the universe. But you can define something faster than light just by saying "something faster than light."

That's right. Just by saying it's a gun that can beat the world's strongest gun, we can create a new, higher-level concept.

However, it's impossible to create any material from this.

This kind of thing is too interesting, so you can't share it with the funny. If it's too interesting, you can't translate it into manzai. You just find it interesting, but you can't laugh and react at the same time. That's because silliness is absolutely necessary for comedy. I think Dondecorte's manzai does this well.

In terms of the approach, I think the peashooter story is a silly one, but the approach is interesting.

Azuma is extremely skilled at explaining things that no one else has thought of in easy-to-understand words. He is taking responsibility as the person who came up with the idea.

It's interesting to see how even if you're using difficult words, just changing your facial expressions or speaking in a silly way can make it easier to accept. If the same thing were said by a more formal person, some people might not be able to listen to it at all.

I think if someone like Watanabe said that, it would probably be scary.

It's the exact opposite approach. I try to speak in a literary style. It's like taking advantage of the public's vanity, making them feel like they can't miss what they're saying.

I do very casual material and also very formal material. I might be right in the middle.

Sutekijanaika has many different types of manzai, so they don't care about costumes, they simply pursue the entertainment value of words.

I think turning words into comedy involves two extremes: something incredibly topical and something incredibly universal. You create jokes and laughs by removing them from the context of what we all live in, like trends and culture. I think Dondecorte and Mame Teppo are able to do that, and I definitely want to do it too.

Even when you think you've hit a dead end, you'll be able to discover something new. I want to make this a highly anticipated live show.

We're a group of specialists who use words to create interesting things, so I want to show the audience some amazing moments that make them want to leave. We're playing with common tools that anyone can use, so I think we can get there.

Words are what give names to feelings that have no names. Perhaps new words will be born that can be used for the next 100 years.
