INDEX
From a Life of Baseball to a Life of Comedian
Celeina: Seigi from the comedy duo “Boshimax” selected the song “Kimishidai Train” by ONE OK ROCK. Why did you choose this song?
Seigi: I broke my shoulder when I was in college, and this song gave me the courage to do my best for four years.
Celeina： We have just heard many memories of baseball, but what made you decide to go into comedy?
Seigi：We liked college so much that we went there for five years.
Kanayan：No, no, no. You made it sound like we liked it too much, but we simply stayed in school because we didn’t have enough credits.
Seigi：Yes, I was staying in, I played baseball every day for four years, but in my fifth year, there was no practice or anything, so I was bored. So I asked him, “Do you want to try it? and he said enthusiastically, “That’s how I felt, too”.
Celeina： How did you really feel about it?
Kanaayan: I was like, “Let’s do it”.
Takano: It wasn’t such a nice talk (haha).
Celeina： At first, you were working as a company employee while working as a comedian, right?
Seigi： Yes, that’s right. I worked at ANA until the end of September, and was involved in business strategy.
Kanayan：We were a duo where I was thinking about material while Seigi was thinking about the management of the company.
Seigi: I left the company on October 1, so I just recently became a comedian on my own.
Celeina： You have come at a great time.
Takano: As I mentioned earlier while the song was playing, GRAND MARQUEE is also in its second year, so we are same period, aren’t we?
Seigi：We are same period.
Kanaayan：Are we same period? You are so senior, aren’t you?
Seigi: Shall we do a same period live concert?
Takano: Shall we do a live concert? It would be an open recording as well.
Celeina: That would be great.
Takano: Now that you two belong to Watanabe Entertainment, is Yanagigari chan of Denko Sekka, who is a reporter for the “BACKPACK TOKYO” corner on Thursdays, your senior?
Kanayan: He is my senior. I also received a ,message from him a while ago saying, “I’m listening, keep up the good work”.
Seigi: The two of Denko Sekka are really kind. We had to do a gag during a live performance, and they kindly worked with us to come up with one-shot gags. Without that time, I wouldn’t be here today.
Celeina： Lastly, would you give us a message for Mr. Gari?
Seigi: Mr. Gari, thank you for all your help. I really wouldn’t be standing here now if it weren’t for you, Gari-san, and I thank you for always being kind to me. I hope we can continue to work together and enjoy people together. Please give me your best regards.
Celeina: Thank you very much. FISTBUMP, today we welcome Kanayan and Seigi from the comedy duo “Boshimax.” Thank you very much.
