ABEMA features comedian Ginji Watanabe and Yuka Kuramochi
The ABEMA variety program ‘Shikujiri Sensei’ featured comedian Ginji Watanabe of the duo Don De Corter. Watanabe discussed his period of professional struggle, during which he sought escapism through activities like kendama, shoe polishing, and cooking fried rice to avoid the pressure of his peers' successes. His partner, Kobashi, also shared a story regarding a serious traffic accident involving a taxi that resulted in seven broken ribs and a punctured lung.
In a separate documentary segment titled ‘NOW MAKE,’ talent Yuka Kuramochi provided an update on her five-year-old son, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder two years ago. Kuramochi shared milestones in his development, such as his improved ability to communicate and his increased social engagement. She also discussed the challenges of managing his physical strength during tantrums and her preparations for his future transition into special education schooling.
