Actor Noriko Eguchi will appear in the new episode of NHK's popular comedy show "LIFE! Summer" (General), which will be broadcast on August 22nd at 10pm. This will be Eguchi's first guest appearance in the "LIFE!" series in three years. The talented actor, who is also a hot topic in the NHK drama series "Anpan," will take on three comedy sketches.
Eguchi said to the viewers, "It's been three years since I last recorded a comedy skit, so I thought I might be nervous, but everyone else, including Uchimura (Mitsuyoshi), hadn't changed at all, so I was able to relax and really enjoy myself. This time, we're also trying out some hard-hitting comedy skits, so please look forward to it!"
"LIFE!" aired a special program on BS Premium in 2012, and the first series began on NHK General TV in 2013. So far, it has produced popular characters such as the Squid King, Mitsuya Kanji, the Alien Prime Minister, Usotaro, Omoemon, Katz Eye, Yokai Doshitaroukashan, Gesnic Magazine Saijo, and Plus Conductor.
The show will be renewed in the spring of 2021, marking its ninth year as a series. It will be broadcast in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with a different cast each time.
It was also announced that the program on this day would be an extended 59-minute version, and that Kawanishi Kenshiro, Goto Junpei, Sakurada Hiyori, Jiro, Tanaka Naoki, Tsukaji Muga, Nishida Naomi, and Koshi Mizukami would be appearing.
