Television producer Nobuyuki Sakuma will appear on the variety show "Hikkari Nietzsche SP" (TV Asahi), which will air on March 9th at 10:15pm.
Comedian Nagano and announcer Tsumugi Mitani will be the hosts of a special episode of "Hikkari Nietzsche" (Wednesdays at 1:56am, Kanto local), in which they discuss "things that somehow strangely bother us." Guest appearances will include Sakuma and Sho Hasumi from the comedy duo "Dow 90000."
Nagano's concern about Sakuma is, "At the root of it all is his love for variety shows. Aren't you tired of that?" Nagano seems to want Sakuma to "take it easy."
Sakuma also made a statement that threw a stone at the current TV world, saying, "Comedians are taking over the world too much. I want more people who are hard to understand to appear on TV." "Comedy shows used to be made as a counter culture, but now comedians are so popular that they have become mainstream culture," he said, and Hasumi responded with his own opinion, saying, "Businessmen who incorporate comedians' ideas and way of life into their work theories are praising comedians too much."
Sakuma also asks, "What do you think about this era where we have to hurt each other?" He says that it is also a concern for him as a creator, and that in recent years, the number of people watching programs triggered by online news has increased, and as a result, the number of views on TVer tends to increase when comments that aim to cause a flaming incident are made to leave a mark. He says that he feels a sense of crisis about the increase in talk shows that are similar to verbal arguments due to this trend.
