A new sense of live performance called "The Responsibility of Young Comedians," featuring a group of quirky young comedians and Yoshiko Ariyano, where laughter and responsibility clash. We deliver a dense interview that allows you to feel the excitement just before the live show, touching on the distance between young and veteran comedians, their struggles in creating material, and behind-the-scenes stories of the performers (?!).

■I want to appear in everyone's comedy show and be told, 'Again, Ariyano?'

ZAIKO: First, please tell us what kind of live performance "The Responsibility of Young Comedians - Yoshiko Ariyano wants to appear in a comedy show, so we asked the young ones to create material for him -" will be.

Ariyano: I will explain that from Nakano in Twilight Nagisa!

Nakano: Huh, is it me!? ... This live show is where Ariyano-san performs sketches and stand-up comedy together with us, the young comedians. Each of the four young groups will create their own material featuring Ariyano-san. All of it is completely new material!

Ariyano: For this live show, I asked the young comedians to write three new pieces each. Then, I would discuss with them, saying, "If this is the kind of material, maybe it could work," and had them refine all three pieces. After I read them again, I narrowed it down to one that was, "This is good." As a result, each group discarded two pieces.

Kameido: Everyone had to discard two pieces...

ZAIKO: So, we can see the carefully selected material during the live show.

Ariyano: That's right!

Nakano: They say it's carefully selected, but we were told, "For these two, either should be fine."

Kameido: That's right! Please make a proper decision.

Ariyano: That’s because they were good. I thought, "Both are interesting." Then I decided to leave it up to each group’s preference.

Kameido: If that's the case, then it's fine.

Ariyano: However, there is no way to do anything about just "Kazuakeneruzu"...
