The MCs for “LIGHTHOUSE,” a new Netflix show for which Nobuyuki Sakuma is the show’s producer, have been announced.
The MCs will be Gen Hoshino, who is not only a musician but also an actor and writer, and Masayasu Wakabayashi of the comedy duo Audrey.
The program is a talk variety show based on a “one-line diary” in which they write short descriptions of their worries and daily events they thought about during a month, and talk about what kind of month they spent and what kind of worries they had. The first episode was recorded in Asagaya, where the two spent their early years, and from the second episode onward, the situation will change according to the content of the two’s talk and previous episodes.

I’m really happy to be able to make a show like this with two people I respect and think are funny and cool.
Actually, we have been filming since last October. Various things that have happened between the two of you over the past year or less are told in this number
. It was hard to keep quiet.
It was hot, funny, and poignant, and I think it was a talk show that could definitely save someone’s heart. I myself will look back at
like a guardian angel in the future.
Please watch it!
And actually, I have a surprise for you.
It will be announced at a later date. Please look forward to it as well!

When the concept of a talk show about “worries” came up during our meetings, I was struck by lightning and thought, “This is what we need
right now! I was struck by lightning.
I had heard about Mr. Hoshino’s struggles in the past, both in creating works and in his daily life, and I was very surprised to see how he, just like us
, was troubled and suffered, but still struggled to find answers and look forward to the future.
At the same time, I remembered what Mr. Wakabayashi said in the past, “I will die at the 7th second. I think many working people
including myself could relate to this saying, “I understand! I think many working people, including myself, could relate to that.
I would like to hear the “problems” that these two men talk about! I want to hear the answers! I was very much interested in the “answers” to their questions.
This is a program that will make you laugh and look forward to the future. Please enjoy the show.
