There are a lot of commentators that I haven’t seen before. They are not celebrities, but experts,” he said, and then he began, “I was sitting at a fireworks display in Odaiba, and I didn’t say anything. A female commentator came to my seat. “A female commentator came up to my seat, looked at my seat number, and said, ‘There’s an empty chair next to me. There was an empty chair next to it. As if I was wrong. She looked at me like, ‘Why are you sitting there? He explained the situation at the time: “But he was wrong. He pulled the empty seat next to me toward himself. I don’t know what he was mad about,” he continued, “but he didn’t tell me his name. I don’t like him very much. He added, “I didn’t happen to know him, or his face. I didn’t know his face. I was thinking, ‘What the hell is this? Then my wife said, ‘He’s on a TV show. I told her to look him up on her phone right away. Then she told me that he was a commentator on a TV show and that he was on it. She was commenting very seriously. He said, “I don’t know, I don’t understand what TV is. I don’t understand TV. I really don’t.” He did not reveal the name of the commentator in question.
