Savanna's Masumi Yagi Reveals His 'Bottom Era' of Zero Regular Shows at 48 and How His 'Sales Manual' Saved Him on ABEMA's 'Shikujiri Sensei'

ABEMA broadcasted the latest episode of its variety show 'Shikujiri Sensei' on May 8th, featuring Masumi Yagi from the comedy duo Savanna. Yagi discussed his 'bottom era' when he lost all his regular TV shows at the age of 48, feeling useless and on the verge of disappearing from the entertainment industry. The situation worsened when his unit partner, Nakayama Kinnikun, left their agency. However, Yagi survived the fierce competition in the comedy world by developing his own 'Sales Manual' (Eigyo Manual) based on his extensive experience in off-TV stage performances. The episode is available for free streaming for 7 days on ABEMA.
