Takahira Kuruma’s Self-Restraint: A Closer Look at the Challenges of Being an M-1 Champion

Reader’s Question:
Regarding Takahira Kuruma from Reiwa Roman and his self-restraint, is this the first time for him as an M-1 champion? Or is it a reversal phenomenon due to being a two-time consecutive champion? I would like to know more about it.

Thoughts on Takahira Kuruma’s Self-Restraint

Recently, I was quite surprised to see the news about Takahira Kuruma from
Reiwa Roman practicing self-restraint. It really makes me realize the immense pressure that comes with being an M-1 champion. Is it his first time stepping back, or is it a reversal phenomenon influenced by being a two-time consecutive champion? I’ve thought about it a bit.

Reflecting on Past Self-Restraint Issues

Looking back, I remember the incident involving Inoue from NON STYLE. That was truly shocking. When I think about Inoue, it makes me realize how challenging it is to be a comedian. I love comedy both in Japan and the U.S., and watching manzai and storytelling is a daily routine for me, so I’m curious about how they are affected by such situations. I also recalled Kubota from Torosalmon. When he made remarks against Emiko Uenuma, it caused a huge uproar on social media. While I’m not sure whether he’s currently practicing self-restraint, that live stream at the time was incredibly shocking.

Connection to the Matsumoto Issue

The Matsumoto issue also came into play, and the name of Punk Boo Boo was mentioned, but it seems they were not practicing self-restraint. I’m curious about how the influence between comedians and the overall atmosphere of the industry will change. Comedy is something everyone contributes to together, so when such issues arise, it inevitably makes everyone more cautious.

In Conclusion

Thinking about Takahira Kuruma’s situation, I find the world of comedy to be quite unique. I’m curious about what decision he will make and what moves will unfold in the future. Personally, I cherish the time I spend enjoying comedy amidst parenting, so I look forward to their performances.
