Reader’s Question:
I’m curious about why Korokoro Chikichiki Peppers was chosen as the substitute for Reiwa Roman in the M-1 Tour. Given that Reiwa Roman has won consecutively, I believe any comedian would feel the pressure to step in. However, Korochiki didn’t even make it to the loser revival round in last year’s M-1. While I think it’s strange to complain
about Korochiki stepping in, I can’t help but feel there might have been more suitable comedians available. Additionally, it’s concerning that Nishino-san is silently sharing critical posts about this matter. I don’t understand why he would take actions that seem to lower his own reputation. What do you all think?
Thoughts on Korochiki’s Substitute Performance
Recently, the news that Korokoro Chikichiki Peppers has become the substitute for Reiwa Roman in the M-1 Tour has become a hot topic. When I first heard this news, I honestly thought, “Why Korochiki?” They didn’t even make it to the loser revival round in last year’s M-1, so it’s understandable that there are various opinions about it.
The Challenges of Substituting and Reasons for Their Selection
As someone who loves comedy and watches various stand-up acts daily, I feel I have some understanding of the situations and feelings of comedians. Substitutes are often called in due to sudden cancellations or health issues, so Korochiki might have been in a sort of reserve position. They might have thought, “Lucky!” when they suddenly got the call. Especially on Saturday nights, when there are many live shows and performances, it’s possible that there weren’t any other comedians available. As many of you have pointed out, famous comedians who have advanced to the semi-finals often have their schedules fully booked, so maybe it was inevitable that Korochiki was chosen.
Nishino-san’s Reaction
I’m also curious about Nishino-san sharing critical posts. He might have had his own thoughts on the matter, but his action of lowering his own reputation is a bit strange. It’s almost as if he wants to say, “I also think this situation is odd,” or perhaps he feels sympathy for Korochiki, making it hard to see what’s truly on his mind. I completely understand the urge to say something in such situations, especially when I see a comedian I like being criticized. It’s a frustrating feeling. Korochiki is likely feeling the pressure of stepping in at the last minute, and their attitude of trying to turn that into humor with self-deprecating jokes is actually quite endearing.
In Conclusion
As I enjoy comedy while raising my child, it’s fascinating to catch glimpses of the struggles and efforts of comedians through topics like this. What do you think about Korochiki’s substitution? There might be opinions suggesting other more suitable comedians could have been chosen, so I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s discuss in the comments!
