Koji Higashino’s “Immigration Welcome Variety” Variety Reunites with Ishikawa Prefecture Live-in Comedians after a Long Absence

The comedy duo Bunbun Bowl (Mashi and Toyoshige), Ishikawa Prefecture’s resident comedians, appeared on the March 17 broadcast of 『Emigration Welcome Variety: Kanazawa Mitsuboshi Bus for Mr. Koji Higashino』 (TV Kanazawa). However, due to circumstances, they were only able to meet Koji Higashino for a short time.

Collaboration with Koji Higashino for just a few minutes

Bunbun Bowl with Higashino, Kazuki Iio, and Panther Ogata in TV Kanazawa’s opening special program 『Worry Consultation Farm: Koji Higashino’s Chick Bang Bang』 in March 2022.

This time, he was supposed to do a gutsy location shoot with Higashino and Iio in the 『Emigration Welcome Variety: Kanazawa Mitsuboshi Bus for Mr. Koji Higashino』, an immigration welcome variety show exclusively for Koji Higashino, but he and the successful TV personality Koji Higashino were in a sad situation where their schedules did not match up.

Called 「Higashino-san」 repeatedly on location at Bunbun Bowl

On another day of Bunbun Bowl’s location tour of properties, the real estate agent who showed us the second property emphasized that he 「recommended it to Higashino-san」.

The real estate agent said, 「Higashino-san is also a very busy person, so I thought you might enjoy a cup of tea here and feel some peace and quiet」.

Bunbun Bowl: 「Higashino-san, you could invite junior comedians to perform here」.

I hope Koji Higashino likes it.

Kanazawa City is known for its elegant sightseeing spots such as Higashi Chaya-gai and Chaya-gai, but there are many other buildings called Kanazawa machiya.

According to the real estate agent who showed us the first machiya, 「Machiya is a wooden structure built before 1950, before the war, and there are many of them left in Kanazawa City, and they are called Kanazawa machiya」.
