Chapter 19: Jokes and Reunions

After dropping out of Meiji University in 1970, Takeshi Kitano spent two years working at the small theater "Francisa" in Asakusa from '72, working as an elevator attendant and cleaning. Later, under the guidance of his mentor Fukami Chisaburo, he entered the ranks of stage comedians.

Later, he and his current wine table companion Kaneko Jiro formed the Two Beats comic group, with the stage name "Beat Take". With a poisonous tongue and spicy acupuncture current affairs style, he is widely active in the television and radio industry.

He began to participate in TV Asahi's "Rivalry Laughter" program in '75 and won the Excellence Award at NHK's cross talk competition in '76. Since then, you can often see their funny clips on major TV programs.

"Do you know what kind of audience I hate the most?" Takeshi Kitano hung the wine glass in one hand and looked at Shirakawa Kaede with a drunken gaze.

But before Shirakawa Kaede could answer, he replied himself, "I hate the audience laughing at everything in the audience the most, looking like idiots." ”

Brother, is that what you say about the audience that cheers you on, you must know that one of them is on the side. He looked at Torotaro, who simply picked up his glass and touched it directly with Takeshi Kitano, and the two of them laughed after drinking it all.

Shirakawa Kaede reluctantly stroked his forehead with his hand, and he turned his head to look at the indifferent Kaneko Jiro, who shrugged his shoulders and signaled not to make a fuss.

Well, it seems that for Takeshi Kitano's Nojiko, Kaneko Jiro as a companion has long been accustomed to it.

Takeshi Kitano, who had finished drinking with Torotaro, picked up his glass and headed towards Kaede Shirakawa. "What about boy, isn't Meiji University boring, I'll just say, it's better to die in a boring life."

Shirakawa Kaede touched a glass with him, and the faint taste of wine had a hint of sweetness. This senior brother took care of the two teenagers, and he didn't order that kind of spicy sake.

As soon as Takeshi Kitano entered a slightly drunken state, his mouth began to chatter. Just like him in the show, his mouth is like a machine gun turned on.

At this time, everyone tacitly maintained a listening posture and let him be alone. If you can't argue with him, the words "Baga" and "red deer" will fly all over the sky.

"Shirakawa boy, if you don't want to read Meiji, come and learn mancai from me. With your pleasing little girl's face, say obscene things on stage, it's exciting to think about it. This contrast will definitely make you very angry. ”

Looking at Takeshi Kitano's sworn appearance, Shirakawa Kaede shrugged. "If Senior Brother Kitano plans to make a movie in the future, I can consider it, a star or something, I also want to watch it."

After a hi sentence, Shirakawa Kaede and Torotaro, and Jiro Kaneko laughed together.

"Baga~, you idiots, aren't you just making movies. It's okay to be mancai, too.,Nagisa Oshima-senpai agrees with my idea.。 ”

"Hai~Hai~" Shirakawa Kaede they nodded in agreement, you are right.

"Stupid!" After Takeshi Kitano finished scolding, he began to pour himself again.

Everyone didn't mind, and after a while they began to drink with him again.

Takeshi Kitano said that Nagisa Oshima is the most well-known international director of RB on the same level as Akira Kurosawa, and he met Takeshi Kitano on a TV show. expressed his yearning for movies to him.

Nagisa Oshima agrees with Takeshi Kitano's idea, and he thinks that with Takeshi Kitano's style, it may be RB's Chaplin. Kitano was inspired, he has always been an ambitious entertainer.

When I was working part-time in Asakusa, I dreamed of becoming an actor in a small theater, and after becoming a theater comedian, I longed to appear on TV shows, and now I am on the small screen, and I am beginning to aspire to the big screen again.

"In short, Shirakawa boy, you remember, if I find you in the future, I will never be allowed to refuse."

"Got it, brother."

The drunken two people touched a glass, and then hooked their shoulders and laughed.

In the end, this drinking game ended with Takeshi Kitano falling and Kaede Shirakawa going to the bathroom to vomit.

It's not that Shirakawa Kaede's alcohol consumption is better than Kitano Takeshi, but Kitano Takemitsu drank two bottles by himself after pouring himself a drink, and Shirakawa Kaede began to flutter after drinking a few glasses, and it was much better after vomiting.

Jiro Kaneko helped the drunken Takeshi Kitano to get into the taxi, and Torotaro hugged the dizzy Shirakawa Kaede and prepared to take the subway back.

"Xiao Feng, your alcohol consumption is too bad. Why don't you go out in the future and don't say you're from Akita, didn't you see Kitano-san's surprised eyes when he heard that you were from Akita? ”

"Go" Shirakawa Kaede hammered Torotaro's shoulder, and the latter chuckled disapprovingly.

In fact, he was not drunk, at least he was conscious. It's just that the sense of direction is a little out of order, and he walks staggeringly.

It seems that he needs to step up his workout, but in fact, since he came to Tokyo, he has begun to consciously strengthen his exercise at school. However, the foundation is too thin, and if you want to see results, you need long-term persistence.

When the two returned to Arakawa Ward, it was already the dead of night on the streets. There was a foul smell coming from the garbage cans on the side of the street, and the casually discarded drink bottles and bento boxes attracted a large number of mosquitoes.

In Tokyo these days, garbage cans can be found everywhere on the streets. Like the later generations, you have to choose a time and place to throw out the garbage, just like dating.

How nice it is now, the people of Tokyo are enjoying the freedom of garbage all the time. There will be no such good thing in the next twenty years, alas, the times are going backwards.

"Xiao Feng, do you see the statue lying on the ground in front of you like a person?"

What kind of words are this, in the middle of the night, a hundred ghosts walk at night?

Bai Chuanfeng raised his head and rubbed his confused eyes, and there were several figures lying horizontally and vertically by the trash can under the street lamp.

Shirakawa Kaede's first reaction was that the homeless people who were wandering around all day long had found a random place to sleep, although the economy seemed to be getting better and better, but there was no shortage of poor people. Those who don't want to work and lie flat, steal chickens and dogs, often squatt, and there are all kinds of them.

"Don't meddle in your business" Shirakawa Kaede motioned to Torotaro to hurry home, these people are more or less likely to get involved with Jidao. In recent years, the extremists were very rampant, and the police were panicked when they saw them.

After the war, the government used the poles to maintain social stability, and in the 70s they used them to disrupt the strikes organized by the left-wing Red Army. It's only been a few years since this happened, and ordinary people have changed their colors when they hear it.

As for the common scene of Jidao helping to maintain order and catching thieves on the Internet in later generations, it was after the promulgation of the "Organized Crime Countermeasures Law" in 91, Jidao had to make changes in order to survive.

Now, the pole is the pole, and there are too many black industries involved to count.

The two of them bypassed the figures lying in a mess on the ground, and avoided them from a distance.

"But Kaede-chan, it's that guy," Torotaro glared at one of the figures, his tone full of astonishment.

Shirakawa Kaede looked at Torotaro strangely, "Who?" He couldn't see anything clearly in the dark environment.

Torotaro's thick eyebrows were twisted together, "It's the guy on the train."

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede cheered up and took two steps closer to see the iconic yellow hair, "Yellow hair? ”

"That's right, it's them. I know him. "For the yellow hair who almost got into a fight with himself, Torotaro has a deep memory.

"Ahem..."Shirakawa Kaede cleared his throat, "Let's call Ota, otherwise it's a bit rude." Yellow hair is a private nickname between him and Torataro, and he just blurted it out accidentally.

Torotaro glanced at Shirakawa Kaede strangely, Xiao Kaede, it's obviously your name Huangmao, okay?

"So what now?" Torotaro looked at Shirakawa Kaede, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Kaede Shirakawa has a headache...
