muramoto is on the LEFT SIDE!!!
So I am a fan of muramoto GESU and all. television with muramoto is interesting. anyways I never went around to watch his actual win that propelled him to success. he’s popular and unpopular. but anyways it did NOT disappoint and it’s definitely a manzai style/strategy i’ve never thought of or seen before them. I think I’ve seen 2 other manzai compeittions finales and i always like 1 or 2 or maybe 3 groups and the rest are either eh, iffy, not funny, stupid, etc. I know japanese learners are allllllllways like omgs manzai iso hard understand blahblahblahb but let’s get one thing straight. the most important thing is that you enjoy watching it and that you actually find it thus you actually want to understand/catch what they’re saying. some of them are really hard to understand for me while others are so easy to understand and i understand 100% (NONSTYLE FOR EXAMPLE) there’s varios factors like bad pronunciation/enunciation (these peopl are SUPER NERVOUS or they just suck at pronunciation/enuncitation. it’s true… they do people put like that on tv in japan) the setting if people laugh or clap at the worst timing and your number of hours spent listening/hearing japaense. but anyways i don’t think you have to undrestand 99% of the manzai to tell if that humor works for you or not. like i had no motivation to look up or re-listen to some of the manzai that i only undrestood 60% because i can’t catch what they’re saying because from what i did understand and what i can infer from everything else like facial expressions, body language … their humor just was not funny. like CHIDORI was SHIT to me. as much as i LOVE DAIGO and i squeeeled like crazy when i found out that he and matayoshi are TIGHT their manzai is shit. it’s jus tnot funny. i don’t understand and i don’t care to understand. i would rather use that time to watch manzai i do like.
anyways HERE IS THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THEIR WINNING MANZAis (they performed twice) thanks to the wonderful blogging japanese peeps. there’s also partial transcrption of other conbi acts but like i said most aren’t interesting.
if you don’t find their manzai funny then… go find other manzai you find funny.
