Submissions aren't limited to just Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!, you can post anything related to the members of Downtown, Cocorico and Tsukitei Hōsei. It is best known to western audiences for the annual No-Laughing Batsu Games and the original version of Silent Library. Puffy's Song on the Gaki no Tsukai Annual Batsu 'D.Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! is a Japanese variety show which stars comedians Matsumoto Hitoshi, Hamada Masatoshi, Tsukitei (Yamasaki) Hōsei, Tanaka Naoki and Endō Shōzō.Long story short, it was fun enough and I am glad Ami and Yumi get some serious TV time. Also the vocal delivery was not super energetic, which I could apply to a lot of what Puffy has done in recent years. Maybe this is because translating lyrics is different.

I think some of the issue may have been translation which didn't feel as tight as the rest of the show. It is neat to see Puffy on a bigger stage than they usually get these days ( probably 10-20% of Japan was watching*).īut. But nope it was 'Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi' with new lyrics recapping the special. I was hoping for an original song recapping the batsu game, which I recall being pretty standard. Anyways this year's special was remarkable and rumored to be the last, so it was neat seeing Puffy do the end song, which may be the biggest act to do it. The theme we saw early in the 2000s, which is arguably their one of their best NYE specials. It was a good combination of running gags and some new ones. Gaki no Tsukai is an amazing show on a weekly basis, but they pull out all the stops for the annual special This year was really good with the Youth High School batsu.

In all of this is a slew of Japanese actors, comics, musicians and celebrities making appearances in those skits. The producers do an amazing job setting up gags and skits to make them laugh. They must not laugh for the day, if they do then they will be punished. The annual Gaki no Tsukai ended January first and for us who don't really speak Japanese the translation by Team Gaki was completed this past week.įor those that do not knwo what I am talking about the annual batsu game, Don't Laugh puts the cast of Gaki no Tsukai into a job/theme for a day.
