Takaaki Ishibashi tries his luck at a Korean casino with popular comedians Takeshi Kitano and Jaejoong also appear in the third installment of “ABEMA special program” | ORICON NEWS

Takaaki Ishibashi’s ABEMA special program “Takaaki Ishibashi THE Good Luck Masters 2023 in Korea” of the comedy duo Tunnels will be broadcast for two consecutive weeks from 9pm on the 15th (4 episodes in total). This time, the third installment, is the first time the program has been shot entirely on location in Korea. Furthermore, it has been decided that Takeshi Kitano will appear as a special guest, making his “first appearance at ABEMA”.

The main project is that Ishibashi, Ogiyahagi’s Hiroaki Ogi and Kane Yahagi, Chidori’s Daigo, and Toru Hotarubara gather at Paradise City, a Korean resort facility famous for its casino, and play Russian roulette and bilibili with determination to the death. Games of chance such as chairs and casino showdowns will be held.

In “THE Kimpa Masters,” where you win extremely spicy kimbap, Minamikawa, who has mastered “Systema,” which uses breathing techniques to relieve any pain, will appear as a demonstrator to see how painful it is.

In “THE Bilibili Masters,” where you have to draw a chair with electric current, a problem occurred in which the electricity did not flow even when you pressed the switch. The members’ fear reaches its peak as they are in an extreme situation where they do not know when the current will flow.

In addition, Korean artist Jaejoong entertained program members including Ishibashi, Audrey’s Toshiaki Kasuga, and Heisei Nobushikobushi’s Takashi Yoshimura. He shows them around the latest spots in Korea, mainly Myeong-dong, but Jaejoong’s popularity causes a huge crowd to flock to him.

Kitano candidly talks about the behind-the-scenes stories behind the production of the director’s film “Kubi”, which is about to be released, and has a number of conversations that only Ishibashi and Kitano can have as legendary entertainers.

・Takaaki Ishibashi
If I don’t win here, I don’t know what will be said about me in the future, so I think I have to show off my strength.
I don’t think there is anything to lose if we continue as usual. We will win by a landslide!

・Hiroaki Ogi (Ogiyahagi)
When it comes to luck, it’s definitely me! It’s just luck that it’s selling so well even though I don’t have any tricks! (lol).
They say that luck is a part of ability, but I wonder if Mr. Takeshi is lucky? I feel like I took over the world with my ability. But I can’t lose today.
When I look at the members, I don’t feel like losing. Maybe I’m really good now? !

・Daigo (Chidori)
He won last time too, so maybe he doesn’t know how to lose, or if he plays normally, he’ll win.
(About Takeshi Kitano’s participation in the war)
I was surprised. I think everyone in Korea is nervous, as are the performers. (lol).
I’ve never seen Taka-san and Take-san side by side in person…I wonder if they’ll come yet? I think there’s a possibility that it will end with “I’m not going” (lol).
There’s no way I can lose. Three consecutive wins! Daigo wins!

・Toru Keihara
I’ve gotten this far just by luck (lol), so I think I’m by far the strongest.
Now that I’ve come to Korea, I’m aiming to win. Everyone please take a look! I’ll do it!

・Kane Yahagi (Ogiyahagi)
I think I’m a lucky person, but the entertainment industry is all about luck, so what do you think? People who sell well are usually just lucky (lol).
Isn’t gambling bad if you swallow it? But are there people who can’t live with Take-san? I think the viewers will be happy, but personally I don’t want them to come (lol).
But this time, I was on a last-minute flight after finishing another job, but I made it in time! Being on time means you win, right?
