Open House Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Ryosuke Fukuoka; hereinafter 'the Company') held a one-night-only original Yoshimoto Shinkigeki performance on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 'YES THEATER' located beneath Namba Grand Kagetsu. This event was part of the 'Suchi & Tamayo Shimada's Please Favor Open House! Project,' which launched in the Kansai area in 2026.
Since its full-scale entry into the Kansai market in 2021, the Company has strived to be a community-rooted real estate firm. Starting in 2025, it appointed Suchi, famous for his 'Suchiko' character, and Tamayo Shimada as advertising characters. To mark the 5th anniversary of its Kansai expansion in 2026, the Company launched this project with the wish to 'stay closer to the people of Kansai and gain their favor.' This original performance, a full collaboration with Yoshimoto Shinkigeki—the hall of fame for comedy in Kansai—served as the project's symbolic event.
In this special performance, Tamayo Shimada took on the role of a passionate Open House employee. The story began with a signature Shinkigeki 'candy-throwing' scene by Suchi, playing a ramen shop part-timer. The energy reached its peak when Tamayo performed gags using her whole body. Three of the Company's actual employees (Yuya Misumi from Open House Co., Ltd., Shingo Kameda and Yuma Tsunoda from Open House Development Co., Ltd.) also appeared as police officers and Open House employees, taking on PR tasks and singing numbers.
The play featured topical company news, such as the 'starting salary increase to 400,000 yen for 2027 new graduate sales positions,' aimed at attracting and rewarding motivated sales talent. This was interspersed with Tamayo Shimada's traditional courtship gags and her soul-stirring 'Panty Tex' routine. Through this powerful entertainment fused with Shinkigeki's passion, the Company directly communicated its desire to 'be favored in Kansai' to the audience.
A booth displaying costumes from the commercials was set up in front of the venue entrance, and a photo session was held after the performance. The event is scheduled to be broadcast on BS Yoshimoto on Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 7:00 PM.
