News about Gaki no Tsukai

[grindorth]

Holy shit, Endo, how fucking hard can it be to use condoms?

its crazy that they poke fun at him for that all the time, but then he goes and gets someone pregnant.

The article from the tabloid Josei Seven had stated that Endo had allegedly broken a promise with Chiaki that specified he was not to re-marry until their daughter had become a junior high school student.

Endo (alongside Housei) was on a talk show about tabloid news recently called Kugizuke, they brought up this article:

Typesoshee kindly translated what Endo had to say about it:

The tabloid was saying that Chiaki was angry at Endo because Endo had promised her that he wouldn't remarry until their daughter started middle school. Endo denies and explains that there was no such agreement. Hosei jokes that Endo did tell him that he had such an agreement. Endo says he told Chiaki and their daughter that he was remarrying and that Chiaki was cool about it (Chiaki already knew the two were dating) a short while before the tabloid rumor spread.

It was announced on last week's episode of Gobu Gobu that it would be the last episode, ending its nine year run. Announced through a video message, the announcement took Tamura Atsushi by surprise, while Hamada simply laughed. However, it has been revealed that there will be occasional special broadcasts to revive the program for a little bit, similar to what they did with Hey Hey Hey Music Champ.

Wow, what a way to end it...
I wonder if it's really Hamada's decision, maybe that Enoshima prank on Gaki really tired him out from wandering around places But in all seriousness, always sad when such long-running series end...
(P.S. Hope you're OK andylau ).

Some big news for Matsumoto's Wide na Show program, with this week's episode apparently featuring Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as a guest. The program's ratings have also been booming recently; its all time high was recorded on February 14 this year with 11.6%.

安倍晋三首相が、フジテレビの「ワイドナショー」（日曜前１０・００）に出演する方向で調整していることが１０日、分かった。関係者によると、早ければ１７日の放送で実現する見通し。

　最新の芸能ニュースや社会問題を取り上げ、ダウンタウンの松本人志（５２）らが議論するバラエティー番組。最近は視聴率も好調で、松本の発言がメディアで取り上げられるなど注目度が高まっている。

　自民党公認候補と無所属の野党統一候補による一騎打ちとなる見通しの衆院北海道５区補欠選挙（１２日告示、２４日投開票）を控え、自民党関係者は「補選の情勢は厳しく、首相周辺は相当焦っている。夏の参院選の前哨戦と位置付けており、負けられない戦い。首相がメディアに露出し、政府の姿勢を訴える狙いだ」と指摘する。

　中でも、「保育園落ちた」というブログの投稿をめぐり、首相が衆院予算委員会で「匿名なので本当かどうか確かめようがない」と答弁し抗議活動が広がり、永田町関係者は「政府の対応に批判が高まり、女性票や無党派層の支持離れが懸念される。バラエティーで待機児童対策などを分かりやすく伝え、挽回したいのだろう」と思惑を解説。番組は日曜午前の放送で、平日昼のワイドショーを見ない子育て中の共働き夫婦や若い世代にアピールする好機となる。

　首相は昨年９月には日本テレビ系の情報番組「情報ライブ　ミヤネ屋」（月～金曜後１・５５）に生出演し、安全保障関連法などについて説明した。

　今年に入り、自民党では不倫問題で宮崎謙介前衆院議員が辞職し、作家乙武洋匡氏の参院選擁立を見送るなど世間をにぎわす事態が立て続けに発生。松本の鋭い突っ込みが期待され、首相ＶＳ松本の白熱した議論に注目が集まりそうだ。

　≪視聴率好調２ケタも≫「ワイドナショー」は１３年１０月に深夜枠で放送が始まり、１４年４月から現在の枠に移動。今年２月１４日には番組歴代最高視聴率１１．６％（ビデオリサーチ調べ、関東地区）を記録し、４月３日も９．９％と、毎週１０％近くで推移。１０日の放送では、バドミントン男子シングルスのエース・桃田賢斗（２１）らが違法カジノ店でバカラ賭博をしていた問題を取り上げ、松本が「もう俺は応援できない」などと厳しく批判した。

That's very impressive. Good to hear his other program is doing so well.

Been a long time since this thread has been read and unfortunately I revive it with some bad news: Tanaka has now gotten a divorce from his wife. A fax was sent out to news agencies on the 29th of last month.

Thats pretty suprisng, whenever talks about family came up there wasn't much indication of issues behind the scenes but guess you really never know what the situation is. Hopefully it wasn't after too much conflict and settled as smoothly as something like this could be done.
