A new sensation live performance 'Young Comedians' Responsibility' with a lineup of quirky young comedians and Yoriko Ariyano, where laughter and responsibility clash. We will deliver a dense interview that feels the excitement just before the live performance, covering the distance between young and veteran comedians, the struggles in creating material, and the behind-the-scenes stories (!?).

■I want to appear on a sketch show with everyone and be told, 'Is it Ariyano again?'

ZAIKO: First of all, please tell us what kind of live performance 'Young Comedians' Responsibility - Yoriko Ariyano wants to appear on a sketch show, so I had the young comedians create material for him -' will be.

Ariyano: Let me explain this from Nakano, Twilight Nagisa!

Nakano: Huh, me!? … This live show is a performance where Mr. Ariyano will do skits and stand-up comedy together with us young comedians. The young comedians will create material including Mr. Ariyano. All of it is completely new material!

Ariyano: For this live performance, I had the young comedians write three new pieces each. Then, I discussed, 'If it's this material, maybe we can do it like this,' and had them revise all three, then read them again, and narrowed it down to 'this one is good.' As a result of careful selection, each group discarded two pieces.

Kamino: Everyone had two pieces discarded...

ZAIKO: So you can see the carefully selected material at the live show.

Ariyano: That's right!

Nakano: They say it’s carefully selected, but we were told, 'These two pieces are okay whichever you choose.'

Kamino: Exactly! Please make a proper decision.

Ariyano: That’s because they were well-made. I thought, 'Both of them are interesting.' Then I left it to each group's preference.

Kamino: Well, that's good to hear.

Ariyano: However, there's nothing to be done about 'Kazana Akeru.'...
