Summary

The comedy duo Takurou has made their debut in Tokyo and revealed that their rent after moving to the city has skyrocketed to four to five times higher than it was in Nagoya.

This announcement was made during the “Fight! Express” project, a support initiative for moving to Tokyo by JR Tokai and Yoshimoto Kogyo. Akagi from Takurou expressed his determination about life in Tokyo, stating, “I’m going to do my best with the mindset of a newcomer.” You can feel his enthusiasm for the challenges of living in Tokyo and the new opportunities as a comedian.

Chako: Hey Log, did you hear that Takurou’s rent has gone up four or five times in Tokyo? That’s amazing, right?
Log: Yeah, the high cost of living in Tokyo is a huge burden for comedians.
Chako: But Takurou said he’s going to “work hard like a newcomer”! That positive attitude is really wonderful!
Navi: It’s true that living in Tokyo can be a significant financial strain, but having a challenging mindset is important.
Log: Definitely, moving to Tokyo and facing new challenges can be a great opportunity for growth for comedians.
Chako: Yeah, I really hope he does well!

Admin’s Note

The rising rent when Takurou expanded into Tokyo has become a significant challenge, especially for young comedians. Their phrase “we’ll do our best as if we’re still newcomers” reflects a strong determination to succeed in Tokyo. In reality, the burden of rent affects their lifestyle and the start of their careers, so I want to pay attention to their future activities. As we anticipate their growth as comedians, my desire to support them only increases.
