The change in the distance between comedians and the audience that I felt after the Corona disaster
Celeina：You mentioned that it will be 20 years next year since K-PRO was launched.
Kojima:With the Corona Disaster in between, the culture of waiting for comedians to come out to talk to them or hand them fan letters at the end of their performances has disappeared. I have the impression that this has changed the sense of distance between the comedians and the audience. Before that, there were opportunities for customers to directly express their impressions, but now customers tweet their impressions on social networking sites, and the comedians are more likely to ego-search those comments.
Celeina：I see.
Kojima: I also feel that more and more people are becoming full-fledged comedians these days. Until then, there were many people who just wanted to be popular or wanted to be popular, but now I get the impression that there are more and more people who say, “We want to do comedy on stage.
Takano: People change depending on the distance. If you are too close, you feel close to them, but if you are too far away, you admire them or think they are cool.
Kojima: That’s right. I imagine that more and more customers go to see comedians they admire on stage.
Celeina: I also feel that this is the reason why the total number of entries to the “M-1 Grand Prix” has increased.
Takano: The comedians are so cool. I admire them too.
Kojima: I get a kick out of watching them put together their stories.
Takano: Speaking of comedians, one of the reporters for this program is Gari Yanagi of Denko Sekka.
Kojima: Oh! Mr.Gari! Thank you for helping.
Celeina: It’s my pleasure!
Kojima: Mr.Gari is like a big brother to the younger generation.
Takano: His reports are always easy to understand.
Celeina: It makes me happy when people praise Mr.Gari in this way. It’s like we are family.
Kojima: Mr.Gari is a gem of a talent, and I wish him the best.
