Reader’s Question:
Has the era of Johnny’s and Yoshimoto Kogyo come to an end? I would like to know about their future prospects.
Reflecting on the Future of Johnny’s and Yoshimoto Kogyo
Recently, while having drinks with friends, we started discussing Johnny’s and Yoshimoto Kogyo. Since we both love comedy, especially Yoshimoto’s manzai, we often find ourselves watching it. However, there
are aspects of the current situation that feel a bit off.
Changes in Johnny’s
Starting with Johnny’s, the shift to “Start Entertainment” was indeed a significant event. As a long-time fan of Johnny’s, I can really relate to the unique bonds that remain. Seeing the juniors form new units and perform with the same joy as before warms my heart. However, I can also sense the various struggles behind the scenes and feel the changing times. When my favorite group disbanded back in the day, I was genuinely sad. The memories of going to concerts and collecting merchandise with friends are still vivid, and I often find myself reminiscing about those times.
The Potential of Yoshimoto Kogyo
On the other hand, Yoshimoto Kogyo still gives off a vibrant impression. While the recent news has been somewhat complicated, I believe the charm of manzai and skits remains unchanged. I recently attended a Yoshimoto live show with friends, and I was enveloped in laughter, truly enjoying myself. In that moment, I felt that Yoshimoto is still very much alive. That said, I’m a bit concerned about the involvement in online casinos. I believe that entertainment and gambling are different realms, and I hope they work to maintain the trust of their fans. I also look forward to taking my kids to see manzai when they grow up.
Conclusion
In the end, there are still many uncertainties regarding the future of Johnny’s and Yoshimoto Kogyo, but I believe their power in entertainment will not fade. As they evolve with the times, I hope we can all find new ways to enjoy their offerings. So, how do you feel about it? Please share your favorite comedians or memories of Johnny’s in the comments!
