The car-loving comedy duo "Ogiyahagi" delves into the "car history" of their guests on "Ogiyahagi's Car History NO CAR, NO LIFE!" (BS Nippon TV, Saturday 9pm). The October 25th episode will be a re-broadcast of the episode that aired last March, in which actor Kotaro Koizumi appeared as a guest.
Koizumi appeared in his sporty Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4MATIC+, a car he says is "specialized for golf," a hobby of his. He has always stuck to Japanese cars, and this is the first foreign car he has ever bought.
Koizumi says that since he was a child, it was normal for his secretary or chauffeur to drive him, and he revealed that he had "never seen" his father, politician Junichiro Koizumi, behind the wheel.
His first car, which he got at the age of 19, was so unexpected that MC Ken Yahagi was surprised and asked, "A band member?" He also talks about the second car he had before his debut, when he confessed his desire to go into showbiz while driving with his old friend Yusuke Uechi.
