Reader’s Question:
I’m 57 years old and have a question regarding the entertainment industry. Recently, I saw news that HImura from Banana Man has ended four regular shows. Honestly, who do you think are the talents that are considered to have passed their “prime”? I would appreciate your insights.
Considering the “Prime” of Entertainers
I recently heard the news that HImura
from Banana Man has ended four regular shows. To be honest, as someone who has followed his career, I feel a bit sad about it. HImura has attracted many fans with his unique character and sense of humor. However, the entertainment industry is always changing, and some talents do pass their prime. So, in response to the question of who has passed their “prime,” several names have come up.
Insights on Talents Who May Have Passed Their Prime
It’s interesting to note names like Hiromi and Sakagami Shinobu being mentioned. Indeed, it feels like we see less of Hiromi on television lately, and viewer opinions on Sakagami Shinobu seem to be divided. They may be finding it difficult to maintain the level of activity they once had. Still, personally, I believe their unique characters and experiences remain compelling. In particular, Sakagami Shinobu’s sharp comments often catch me off guard. As I observe the evolution of entertainers while being involved in the legal field, I occasionally catch glimpses of their struggles and efforts. For instance, one day while watching TV with a friend, we laughed heartily at an old Hiromi skit. As I reminisced, saying, “He was really funny back then,” my friend responded, “But what about now?” That remark made me pause and think.
The Harshness and Appeal of the Entertainment Industry
The entertainment industry is a tough world where new faces constantly emerge and old ones fade away. This is precisely why the talents who are still striving today have a special appeal. They are likely putting in daily efforts to maintain their “prime.” When we, as viewers, can sense that effort, it makes us want to support them even more. Moreover, just because someone has passed their prime doesn’t mean their value diminishes. On the contrary, their experiences and knowledge can often be utilized in new ways. For example, I’ve noticed that former talents are increasingly appearing as commentators on variety shows. Their humor and unique perspectives remain fresh and entertaining.
Share Your Thoughts and Memories
Finally, I’d love for everyone to share their memories or opinions about their favorite talents or those they think have passed their prime in the comments. I also want to share nostalgic episodes and thoughts. Let’s enjoy the changes in the entertainment industry together and engage in conversation!
