‘timelesz’ Shinozuka’s gag on morning show draws fire.
The lack of maliciousness makes the situation worse. We think about the “tragedy” caused by the desperation of celebrities. ⇒The “timelesz” idol group Shinozuka Daiki, who joined timelesz in an audition earlier this year, appeared on the November 18 broadcast of “Mezamashi TV” and sang a gag based on the children’s song “Big Old Clock,” in which he sang, “Now I can’t move no more, I’ll give my grandfather a tome. The gag caused a firestorm on the Internet. Moreover, because the gag was based on a material by the comedian Nose Arrow Nagai, criticism of Shinozuka has intensified. It was a bit inappropriate to do on a morning information program, and it was certainly an inconsiderate choice for a current Hitotsubashi University student. However, if you ask me if it was a mistake that should have been so severely criticized, I would say that it was not. Because, of course, there is no way that Shinozuka really intended to “tome” the old man who did not move, and on the contrary, he knew that it was morally wrong to do so, which is why he thought he could get a laugh out of it. In other words, he knew that it was morally wrong to do so, so he thought he could get a laugh out of it. In other words, his “tome on the old man” on live TV in the morning was the result of his common-sense judgment. In this light, I am tempted to say something sarcastic like, “Those who overreact to Shinozuka’s gag and make a big deal out of it may in fact be lacking in common sense and imagination.
Shinozuka’s personality as seen from the interview
Another point to keep in mind is Shinozuka’s position in timelesz. Looking at the reaction to this incident, some of the timelesz fans pointed out his immaturity as an idol, saying, “He’s not a good singer or dancer. If such criticism had reached his ears, it is only natural that he would get worked up during the live broadcast. As an idol, I have to leave my mark somehow. I want to make my role in the group clear. At such a time, when an opportunity to make a “legend” by performing a one-liner on live TV comes along… it is human nature to want to take a shot at the perfect opportunity. In past interviews, some of his comments reveal his earnest personality. ＜I often make big-mouthed remarks, but I do so in order to push myself to the limit, because I know that if I say it out loud, I will say it out loud. ＞When I look back at live videos, I see that Shuuto (Inomata) and Masaki (Hashimoto) always look cool, but only I make a face like I’m having a frantic “field day. I think there are still a lot of problems to be solved, including such facial expression management. What we can learn from this is that Shinozuka is not a lazy person.
