[Today's Lisa Zate Topic] Today's Japanese News; What Comedians Do

 I've always loved comedy. I especially like comedy in Kansai. Japanese comedy has changed from 20 years ago. New ideas are born from younger entertainers. And it wasn't until 2000 that comedy competitions began to be held in Japan. Entertainers have become idols and fans have increased, making it a world that children's dream for. There are several national comedy competitions in Japan, but they show off their comics and tales and are scored by judges. The winner will be the last to win the prize. There are some funny and well-selling comedians who are missing out on that position. Even so, points are given and the game is decided by the show that was shown on the spot. Of course, those who win are flooded with many program requests and offers. However, even the name of the dropped entertainers are forgotten.

There are many people who are originally trying to comedy for life. Regardless of their clumsiness, they have to hone the difficult tricks of how to make people laugh. It's the same as a restaurant that isn't delicious unless it's interesting. The viewer immediately peels off. It disappears from the TV. There are many entertainers who want to go to the top, so the competition rate is always tremendous.

In the Showa era, it was only that the appearance of the Manzai becoming popular and the duo (or 3 comedians) standing on the stage was broadcast on TV. Now, comedians are not only laughing, but also hosting, drama, models, actors, and news programs to convey serious news.

I think it's a harsh world. Until you reach the top, they have to show anywhere their company set up places like "A place like this ...?". No unsold entertainer in such a place will try to get rid of it. If you don't have some features or idol elements, you won't get fans. It doesn't matter if the face is handsome or ugly.

Luckily, if you don't have a turn on TV, you now have an option called YOUTUBE. The entertainer who was not good on TV is now selling on YOUTUBE. With freedom of expression, you can watch programs of live comedians that have never been regulated on TV, so the number of registrants will increase steadily. I think that is rather correct. This is because the intentions of the individuals are conveyed to the viewer almost straightforwardly. Some entertainers say they won't be on TV anymore. In addition, YOUTUBE pros from amateurs who do not belong to offices or companies that have not dealt with TV from the beginning are frequent now.

Making people laugh is a difficult task, but it's great. Whether it's something you don't like in your life, having hard times, or sad times, they hone their skills and make us smile. Whether it's a corona, a typhoon outside, or when you are lonely.
