Unprecedented, 23 kisses during a skit
See all images
——Inu, who appeared in fourth place, drew a lot of laughter with her first line, “In a dream.” I think it was the most popular in the press room. Or should I say, the quality of laughter was different for one group? It was so ridiculous, in a good way. It’s difficult to explain the plot, but it was about a personal trainer and a middle-aged woman kissing a lot while training, either in a fantasy world or in the real world. When I was watching that, the first thing I thought was, do they really kiss during practice?
ArimaI will.
——I couldn’t help but count, and I did it 23 times.
OtaEh. Did you do that much? I’ve never counted them.
——In the first half, Ota-san is in a dream world, covering Arima-san and doing “clap push-ups” (claps once after the push-up). At that time, there were cases where things didn’t go well and they ended up kissing involuntarily, and cases where they didn’t. Was there some ad-libbing involved?
OtaThere is no improvisation. Everything is decided. But during the actual performance, there was a point where Arima was so nervous that he came to pick her up.
——Yes, there was. He pouted his lips and said, “Chu~.”
Otaoh yeah. That was a mistake. I was a little upset.
