[March 3rd] Is the S in SL for Super Sadist!?
Everyone!
I, Arkun,
will be appearing in the second
"Sabo-nee and Urimo's E-X-P-L-O-S-I-V-E Live!!"
!!
The date and time is Friday, March 3rd, starting at 9:00 PM.
It's not Hinamatsuri, it's SL Day.
Did you remember that?
A = Arkun
S = Saboten Shufu (Cactus Housewife)
U = Urimo
L = Live
It's SL♪
Yesterday, the three of us had a meeting.
Urimo-san handled the arrangements.
The moment we saw each other's faces on Google Meet,
Urimo-san and I both burst out laughing!
(What were we laughing about?)
Sabo-nee joined in next
"Good evening~"
she said, so
"We're Yakkun, Mokkun, Fukkun, and Arkun!"
I tried saying that.
"You're doing that here!?"
"Now?"
I got my first retort.
Mammoth-ly happy.
From here on out,
it's just like a break time for high school students in Kansai!
Since all three of us are from Kansai, we're speaking Kansai dialect, of course.
Sitting backwards on our chairs,
resting our elbows on the backrests, men and women chatting away
that kind of vibe.
Do you get what I mean?
Sabo-nee was worried that her comedic timing might be rusty
because she's been in Shizuoka where no one retorts to her, so she's been playing both the straight man and the funny man by herself.
But, no need to worry!!
That's a sharp retort, like the Zantetsuken sword used by Goemon Ishikawa from Lupin the Third♪
The conversation was lively♪
What kind of jokes do you like,
what kind of retorts do you like?
Ignoring the train topic, we talked about comedy theory regarding jokes and retorts.
(Wasn't this supposed to be a meeting??)
Urimo-san's
"This isn't Yoshimoto, you know~"
Even with that cry, Sabo-nee and I didn't listen.
I happily kept cracking jokes, and Sabo-nee kept firing back retorts and talking away.
35 minutes in,
Urimo-san was saying something, so
for the first time, the two of us fell silent and listened.
10 seconds of silence.
Urimo-san
"Wait, what is this? It's scary!!"
She shouted like Oideyasu Oda.
When the two talkative ones stop talking, it's like a broadcast accident!
Seeing her panic is also cute,
Uri-yan!
(Wait, 'yan'!?)
I realized something here.
・I want everyone to laugh at the 'train topic'.
・I also have a desire for you to enjoy the Kansai culture of jokes and retorts.
Furthermore,
I found one more thing.
・Teasing Urimo-san makes her flustered, which is fun!!
It seems Sabo-nee and I realized it at the same time.
From then on, occasionally,
"How was that one? Uribo!"
I would try to prompt her.
"Huh?"
Urimo-san stammers, at a loss for words.
Without missing a beat,
"Eh? No, that's not it,
you have to give a proper retort!"
I say,
"That's right,
you'd better do it properly!!"
Sabo-nee adds, relentlessly piling on the pressure.
Urimo-san is in a panic.
"I'm in charge of picking up comments, so
I can't even think about retorts too!"
The two of us show no mercy to that cry.
We're all laughing out loud♪
We have a strong desire to make Urimo-san laugh too♪
We've found a new way to have fun!!
Please look forward to the day of the event!
That's right.
Both Sabo-nee and I are super sadists.
The S in SL stood for Super Sadist.
"Super Sadist Live"
(What even is that!)
In contrast, Urimo-san is a super masochist.
(I went and labeled him, didn't I)
Urimo-san, the super masochist, is
happy to be retorted at!?
He is the writer-like presence
for the two of us who just say whatever we want.
"Let's do this, then that,
and then this."
He calmly analyzes the flow.
Furthermore,
"When Arkun made a joke,
Sabo-san, you didn't retort,
you just expanded on the story!"
He gives another precise instruction.
As expected of U-yan
(I can't even tell what the original name was anymore! Hey!)
In short, to summarize,
Sabo-nee and I, who have lived as solo comedians until now,
have decided to perform a one-night-only manzai routine for the first time.
In this setup,
Urimo-san acts as a broadcast writer who
calmly stops us from going off the rails and keeps the show moving.
That's the dynamic.
(Is that for real!?)
Also, I have a request for everyone.
Regarding me, Arkun,
Please call me "Arkun"
instead of
"Arkun-san".
Please call me that.
Arkun-san is like
Yamada-kun-san,
so I suggest just calling me Yamada-kun.
I asked for this yesterday as well,
and they readily agreed.
Another thing is that
the conversation will include place names like
Juso (十三) = 'Juso'
Kire-Uriwari (喜連瓜破) = 'Kire-Uriwari'
which are local Kansai topics,
so please do some prep work for them.
When you hear names of places in Kansai you don't know,
your train of thought tends to stop, right?
If you do some prep work,
I think you'll be able to keep up
with the fast-paced banter.
I mean, it was such a fun meeting
that I woke up at 3 AM and started laughing to myself just remembering it.
(You're dangerous, aren't you!?)
So, stay tuned for this Friday's
Super Sadist Live!
(What kind of live show is that!?)
We are also waiting for comments from everyone
that will make Urimo-san panic.
Thank you for reading until the end!!
Thank you as always for your likes, follows,
and comments.
They are very encouraging.
