Poor Yatabe, all alone!

Today's Ame Talk report is about the recent ○○Jyanai Hou Geinin SP.

To explain these Jyanai Hou episodes - several groups has the member or members who stand out. Whether it be their gags, facial expressions, or looks.

These geinin are the total opposite. The "Regular Johns" of their respected groups.

These are the Jyanai Hou Geinin.

On the initial Jyanai Hou SP, Hannya's Kawashima was there. I think we can all say in comparison to Kanada & his characters, he (Kawashima) does get a bit overshadowed.

I do love Kanada & his gags! However, I can't help but feel bad, or even sad for their overlooked partners.

On this 2010 Edition of the SP, we see some familiar faces from the line-up I was able to find, as well as some new members. The members are,




Proof that these guys do get looked over was first realized by myself. I had to look up the majority of their names, save for Wagaya & Fruit Punch. Sorry, guys! This has opened my eyes.

 Here are some of their stories of being overshadowed!

"We (Garage Sale) have been introduced as, 'Gori & company!' (「ゴリさんたち、おねがいします～」)" (Garage Sale, Kawata)

"It took them around ten minutes to remember my name." (Dangerous, Yasuda)

"I got mistaken for a regular otaku." (Tenshin, Mukai)

"The sound guy forgot to give me a pin mike." (Doki Doki Camp, Satou)

"A couple mistook me for Xabungle's Matsuo." (Hiking Walking, Matsuda)

"My manager has mistaken called me Gorita (ゴリ田さん)" (Garage Sale, Kawata)

"A student recognized us in a restaurant and asked to shake our hands. Shortly after, I went to the restroom and the same student I shook hands with told me, 'Wagaya is right over there!'" (Wagaya, Yatabe)

Sad, right? Lesson learned - learn about all members of your favorite groups! They feel bad. ]:
