The variety show "Good Time to Look! Good Time to Eat! Good Time to Laugh!!," starring the female trio idol group Candies, will be broadcast on the CS Home Drama Channel from October 12th. At the height of their popularity, Candies were all the rage in the 1970s, and they performed alongside Ito Shiro and Komatsu Masao, even trying their hand at comedy sketches. This will be the first broadcast of this legendary variety show, which sparked a huge boom in living rooms across Japan, in about 50 years.
The show skillfully combined songs and comedy sketches. Popular pieces included "Densenman," a hero born from Ito's "Benjamin Ito" segment, "Densen Ondo," a dance performed by characters designed by manga artist Ishinomori Shotaro, and "Shiraketori Ondo," a song sung by Komatsu with a Shiraketori puppet.
Candies also showed off their talent as comediennes in a complete departure from their glamorous performance of hit songs, with skits such as "The Third Daughter of the Bad Boy Family." In addition to the adorable performances of the three girls, who adore Ito as their "father" and perform their skits with gusto, the star-studded cast, including Yuzo Kayama, Hachiro Azuma, Toshiyuki Nishida, and the Kaientai group, are also highlights.
Starting October 12th, 20 selected titles will be broadcast every Sunday at 9:30pm.
