ORICON NEWS: Drunk Dragon Taku Suzuki’s 50/50 salary was canceled 20 years ago, but “I haven’t been able to shake off the image of someone who isn’t.” Shout out to Westland Kawamoto | Mainichi Shimbun

Taku Suzuki of the comedy duo Drunk Dragon updated his X (formerly Twitter) on the 26th. The “50-50 split in fees” has become a hot topic in the wake of the “trouble” with Futoshi Kawamoto of Westland, but as a senior who resolved the “50-50 split in fees” between duos about 20 years ago, I would like to encourage him. .

Kawamoto got into trouble with a taxi driver on the night of the 20th. In a phone interview with ORICON NEWS, Mitsuyo Ota, president of her agency Titan, confessed that a meeting was held on the 22nd between Westland, Westland’s managers, Hikaru Ota, and Mr. Mitsuyo. In it, he revealed that he had decided to break up the deal on a “50-50 split in fees.”

Suzuki said in X, “I’m being cited as an example. My 50-50 deal was about 20 years ago, but I’m grateful that my name was mentioned.” Regarding his 50-50 salary being talked about in some articles, Suzuki said, He said, “It’s going to be tough in the future, but I want you to do your best.First of all, there’s a struggle for survival within the duo.It’s quite difficult to get rid of the image of someone who isn’t like you, and I haven’t been able to get rid of it either.When things get like this, it doesn’t matter who you are. “Kurei!”
