Comments (in order of career length)
(George)
This solo live is the culmination of everything I cultivated at the Manzai Theater, where I was so indebted! I'll show you a Gachagacha that is still evolving! You absolutely have to come see us!
(Kan-chan)
I gained so much experience at the Manzai Theater! Thank you very much! The reason I joined the theater was "props"! I will continue to work hard to become a full-fledged prop comedy master! I've become a character who doesn't talk much, but actually, Kan-chan talks a lot! Please come to the solo live!
(Kizaki)
It's been decided that I will graduate from the theater. I never thought I would use the word "graduation" at age 40. I am so indebted to the theater that I call it my "parents," so I want to show my filial piety by having a graduation performance. Please come.
(Sakurai)
This will be our, Gion's, graduation live! We plan to do a lot of nostalgic manzai and skits from the old days! Please come to our last live! We love the Manzai Theater!
(Sakoda)
All performers, fully unleash your brains! Embarrassing empathy + big question mark = ((Big Laugh)) Kind?
(Hiroki)
Will the first champion, Kounotori Nagasako, win again? Or will the historically high-scoring veterans show their true strength? Or will the first-timers have a surprise? It'll be more fun if you study Sakoda's ((Big Laugh)) posts on X!
(Kohei)
Thank you so much. I became a theater member of base yoshimoto in my third year, then the theater changed to 5up yoshimoto, and then Mangeki. We are now in our 20th year in the industry, and finally, we are graduating. This is a live performance to give back to the theater, our friends, and most of all, the audience who made us who we are today. We welcome those who have known us for a long time, those who discovered us recently, those meeting us for the first time, and those we haven't seen in a while! Sorry for getting a bit serious, but the content is one short skit and a tickle fight! Please come!
(Yuhei)
We will hold a graduation live with feelings of gratitude. I've seen many comedians graduate, but now it's finally our turn. I want to pour out everything we cultivated on the stages of base, 5up, and Mangeki, in the dressing rooms, and at the office. To everyone who has cared about Yoshidatachi from the base era, or even before base, up until now, let's have a live show with a reunion-like atmosphere! There will also be a stream! See you there with the same faces!

I want to leave an afterimage of Double Art's solo performance in the Manzai Theater so strongly that it becomes a nuisance. Please come!
(Mabee)
The Manzai Theater is the theater where Double Art has been a member the longest. For Double Art, the Manzai Theater is like our hometown. So we'll come back sometimes. Thank you so much! We love the Manzai Theater! For our last solo live, we will give it our all, using all the comedy we gained at the Manzai Theater! We look forward to seeing you all!
