Goto & Nishikawa: Kansai Problem-Solving Collaboration | ORICON NEWS

[Program cut]Free-spirited talk at a yakitori restaurant… Yuko Ogura & Takanori Nishikawa & Teruki Goto & Nozomi Iwao

This is a difficult-to-solve variety show that brings together the wisdom of 10,000 Kansai people who have the positive ability to solve the daily life and life problems faced by people on the street, thinking, “Life just doesn’t work!” and guides them to solutions and supports them in solving their problems.

The MC will be Football Hour, which is their first time working together. Teruki Goto and artist Takanori Nishikawa, who serves as the “Shiga Hometown Tourism Ambassador.” In addition, Nozomi Iwao and Yuko Ogura from Football Hour will be invited as guests for a free-spirited talk in a relaxed atmosphere from the actual yakitori restaurant “Eenen” in Osaka.

A collection of answers from 10,000 Kansai people who have answered serious concerns such as “I can’t remember the names of my regular customers,” “My husband only wears clothes that I like,” and “I want to eat hard rice crackers.” At first, the performers were surprised at how thick it was. Among the answers, there are not only serious ones, but also unusual answers that are unique to Kansai people.

Yuko Ogura, who is raising three sons, also expresses her worries about her son, who has reached adolescence. In addition, artist Nishikawa sets out to solve the problem of a client who wants to “attract women through singing.” “If I continue with the chorus, I’ll die,” Goto laughs, as the consultant’s singing voice is so high-key that the enthusiastic singing instruction begins.

In addition to serious answers, there were also unusual answers unique to Kansai people, and we wondered what kind of power the “wisdom of Manjusri when three people gathered together” would demonstrate when 10,000 Kansai people gathered together.

–How did you feel after recording?
Teruki Goto: It’s not often that I get to do a program with Mr. Nishikawa, so it was really refreshing!

Takanori Nishikawa: It was really fun. I would like the organization members to take a look at this and incorporate it into the spring reorganization.

Teruki Goto: If you became a regular, would you really do it?

Takanori Nishikawa: Of course! Please give us a call. My father is also in Kansai (Shiga), so if there’s a program on, I can have an excuse to come see him (lol).

Yuko Ogura: There were many people with various problems, but the one that particularly impressed me was teeth.

Takanori Nishikawa: It’s always so noisy! Even during the recording, I was asked a lot of questions about the pace of whitening.

Yuko Ogura: It was really shocking! Mr. Nishikawa’s teeth were so sparkly even on TV that it was hard to believe they were his own teeth. I also wanted to take good care of my teeth, so I decided to go for whitening right away.

Nozomu Iwao: There were a lot of different problems, but I also felt that the solutions were biased toward the slightly older age group. If there is to be a future, I feel that it would be good to have interaction between generations, where adults solve the problems of young people, and conversely, the younger generation proposes solutions.

Takanori Nishikawa: When it becomes a regular, I think those elements will be included.

Teruki Goto: It’s true that the age group this time was older, but I’m sure the young people who watch TV will end up like this eventually, too! I would say that people in Kansai are fast at that (lol). Therefore, I hope that you and your family can look at this together and come up with a solution.
