Thoughts on the Retirement of Takaki Ishibashi and E-gashira 2:50
Recently, I’ve heard discussions about the possibility of Takaki Ishibashi and E-gashira 2:50 retiring. Honestly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. They are legends in the Japanese comedy scene and wouldn’t retire so
easily. E-gashira 2:50, in particular, is still loved by many fans for his unique character and energy. Despite the recent commotion at the All-Star Thanksgiving Festival, his presence and passion for comedy remain undiminished. I always find myself laughing at his outrageous actions and unexpected remarks. His innocence is simply irresistible.
Memorable Skits and Episodes
This reminds me of a time when I watched a show featuring E-gashira 2:50 with friends. In one of the skits he performed, the absurd twists were so hilarious that I ended up with a stomachache from laughing too hard. I was laughing to the point of tears. Moments like that truly showcase his charm. And we can’t forget about Takaki Ishibashi. Together with Downtown, he has been a significant figure in shaping comedy for our generation. His punchlines and gags still feel fresh and entertaining. Especially the pranks from “Minna no Kankyou,” which I can watch over and over and still find hilarious. Just thinking about them makes me smile.
Feeling Grateful
I believe the presence of both of them is what keeps the Japanese comedy scene vibrant today. The talks about retirement might stem from anxiety as fans, but we all want to continue enjoying their comedy in the future. Lastly, what comedic moments have left a lasting impression on you?
