■ Don Decollete Watanabe becomes an entirely new type of moral harassment father and an angry boss!? Mercilessly dragging around SWEET STEADY's Shiokawa and MORE STAR's Yamamoto!
Gaining momentum after remaining in the final battle of the recent R-1 Grand Prix 2026, Don Decollete Watanabe passionately plays two characters: a father and a boss. Playing a father experiencing a mysterious conflict about moral harassment, the fresh comedic interaction and expressions between him and MORE STAR's Lucia Yamamoto, who plays his daughter, are a must-see.
'Ginji Watanabe, 40 years old, single. I was surprised to suddenly have a child around high school age!' (Watanabe)
'Papa did some pretty terrible things to me, so please pay attention to that!' (Yamamoto)
In the sketch where he plays a boss, he troubled his subordinate, played by SWEET STEADY's Shiokawa, from start to finish with his intense expressions and lines, which can be said to be the true essence of Don Decollete Watanabe seen in stand-up comedy.
'I was nervous, but Watanabe-san was full of humor and it was fun!' (Shiokawa)
'Please pay attention to my iron mask-like expression, to the point where I couldn't even make Shiokawa-san laugh (during filming)!' (Watanabe)
Please look forward to the new sides of everyone!
