In 2006, he won the 'M-1 Grand Prix' with a perfect score from all judges, a first in the tournament's history. He is widely active, mainly in variety shows, but also as an actor, host, and commentator. This year, Tutorial held their first solo live tour in about two years.
A little sneak peek of the recording session ㊙️
He brought over 10 watches to the radio recording studio. The numerous watches taken out of a wooden watch case were all selected with great care. Although he got his first watch several decades ago, he takes such good care of his belongings that he still keeps it preciously, handling it with great care.
