Just after 6 consecutive days of work, everyone has become a little tired, and it seems that even their favorite food has become less delicious. If you lose your appetite for starting life, you may wish to try this Japanese late-night people's livelihood program comparable to 1818 GoldenEye as a life accompaniment to ensure that you are not happy!
Literally translated as "staying up late from Monday", "The Moon Is Still Dark" adheres to the central idea of "a program that slightly mixes and does not mix too much about the various problems of the world", pointing the camera at ordinary people with zero sense of existence in daily life, digging up useless but interesting civilian content, and curing workers with Monday syndrome.
With 1 month to go until the Dragon Boat Festival, come and join us in releasing the stress and receiving the baptism of Happy Waterfall!
Classic appearances in each issue.
"Moon Obscura" (hereinafter referred to as "Tsukiko") is hosted by Matsuko DELUXE, a famous Japanese variety show host, and Shingo Murakami, one of the members of idol group Kansai Janis 8.
In the 2020 (comprehensive) list of Japanese celebrity influence released by Nikkei Entertainment, Matsuko ranked 4th
Matsuko DELUXE is a 178cm tall and 140kg male elder sister, who is one of the most influential Japanese artists with her sharp tongue, although she combines various Japanese taboos such as transvestites, obesity, and homosexuality.
Matsuko shouted at the Japanese men to take care of themselves: "Men, you are going to be bald yourself, and you even pick and choose women." ”
In the face of sensitive social issues such as equal rights for men and women, serious class differentiation, etc., he can always express his opinions bluntly, and behind the spicy comments is the humanistic care for marginalized and vulnerable groups.
As Takuya Kimura said in Matsuko's other show", "Matsuko is very hard, and the things that the public is dissatisfied with but dare not say are all said by him, and the bad guys let him do it." ”
On the left is Shingo Murakami, who is picking his nostrils, and on the right is Ryo Nishikido, who is also an idol group
The host who can match this heavyweight star is certainly not an ordinary person. Although he is an artist under the well-known Japanese idol agency "Janis", Murakami Shingo dares to discard the idol baggage in the show, reciprocally responds to Matsuko's complaints, and plays the role of Tsai Kangyong in "Kangxi Lai".
Since its inception in 2013, "The Moon Is Still In the Dark" has been broadcast late at night but has been able to receive overwhelming ratings, of which the mystery is the interview with ordinary people. Like the 1818 GoldenEye, each random interview can be favored by the god of variety, interviewing miserable and funny citizens, showing the "differences in the world".
In the "Two or Three Things in Love" survey, a pair of sunset red players appeared. When asked about their love for each other, Mama Sang replied: "Tetris." Worthy of walking the rivers and lakes for decades, spitting accurately, one shot hits the laughing point.
Although Japan is an aging society, in the cultural discourse, the elderly are still marginalized and often snubbed. "Moon" shows the world through the real lens that not only the stories of young people are worthy of being reported, grandparents will also fall in love, and their lives are like a kaleidoscope.
In the love interview, some people have built their own "cherished network", and the outrageous thing is that the thirty members currently registered are all interviewees themselves.
Of course, the program ape is thoughtful and thoughtful in doing things. In order to find the object, he also set up a love divination website, as long as you enter the name, follow the system prompts to make a choice, and finally generate the appearance and name of the ideal lover. Sure enough, no matter what you choose, only the face of the interviewee himself will appear. However, 5 years of efforts have not borne fruit and are still single.
When the interviewees put unspeakable things on the table, the audience can also feel the resonance in the frank narration, and get the ease of "eating and loosening the buttons of the pants".
The subject of an interview is the harassment that people often receive, and harassment here refers to finding fault with others on various occasions, bringing mental and physical pain. In addition to sexual harassment or power harassment, the types of representative harassment are constantly increasing, such as people with full bodies who are susceptible to "you must like to eat fat meat" harassment.
There is a brother who suffers from severe acne and causes a pothole in the face and is often harassed by "are you raising moles with your face". Determined to cure his skin, he was introduced to a beauty salon by a friend. After staring at his face for a long time, the beautician handed him a product with the words "Soles of the Feet" on the packaging.
Although the events reported by "Moonlight" are trivial, life is not easy, why so serious?
Focusing on civilian life, "Moonlight" inadvertently made a lot of interesting ordinary people popular. Like us, these people have dreams, but they are always stuck in such and such small problems.
With a big tongue, Aoi Okino misprono's fu-e-su (Japanese: フェス) for fu-e-fu when he debuted, and was affectionately called "Sister of Musical Knots" by the program team.
Five years ago, a random interview with a passerby made Ai Akino a popular celebrity in the future, "Sister Music Knot" (Japanese: フェフ姉さん). Taking this interview as an opportunity, Sister Music and her friend Tada became regular guests and "went out of their way" in various projects.
The words are not very sharp, and it does not seem very smart, and the music sister can be described as a complete loser.
On the left is Tada, and on the right is the sister of the music knot
In the English test plan, she perfectly interpreted "you are crazy and people ask questions and you answer the day", all based on life experience and intuition. When asked which three powers are referred to in Japan's separation of powers, she seriously considers the answer to "water, electricity, and gas."
Face the camera without concealing the music of the sister.
To test her English proficiency, she even took the TOEIC TOEIC exam, an English proficiency assessment for people who use English in an international work environment. With a score of 990, she only scored 15 on the test, but she confidently thought she was talented. It turned out that due to the self-esteem of her sister in music, she only answered the questions she would do, and from the results, it seems that the answers are correct.
The cuteness of the festival sister is this stupid optimism and directness. When she encountered words that she couldn't pronounce, she read them vigorously until her companion Tada said softly, "It doesn't matter if you can't say it." Even if various projects fail again and again, she is determined to seize the opportunity given by the program team, pick up the dreams that she gave up without trying, and give life a beautiful punch.
The movie "Love of a Hundred Dollars" tells the story of the heroine who is not a weapon to save herself by learning boxing.
In the 2021 New Year special edition program, the music sister embarked on the road of fighting again, carrying out a month-long devil training camp with the goal of appearing in amateur competitions, and staging a realistic version of "Love of 100 Yuan" on a high flame.
Although she began training as early as 8 months ago, it is still a fantasy to play against professional players. In the tennis training test, she was slow to move, "like a little monkey on Monkey Mountain who was bullied by the Monkey King." ”
Compared with a few years ago, the running posture of the music sister has changed greatly
But in the face of challenges, the music sister has always been real. Whether it is physical training, reaction training or weight loss, she has completed it without complaint, and she never shows her hard work in front of the camera, only to train with her head down. His companion Tada also sighed, "There will be no more peers like her, fighting to this point, trying to eliminate all unnecessary things."
However, the nonsense of the musical sister never disappoints the audience. On the day of the race, I was 100g overweight because I was wearing heavy clothing. She didn't wear anything in her pants, so she had to wrap a towel in a vacuum weight measurement, which passed the body weight assessment.
It's finally time for the game. Can past hard work turn around a failed life?
The truth of life is that the music sister did not get the script of the big heroine - in the face of the fierce attack of the opponent, the low-kick stunt trained was simply unable to show. The result was 3-0, as if it was fate, and the challenge of the musical sister ended in failure.
The coach who was busy comforting the music sister was also unwilling
"But I see why I'm fighting."
After the end of the music sister issued a heartfelt sigh. Unlike the usual challenges, the joy gained in this game was overcome by regret, unwillingness and chagrin, and it was in her heart. It turns out that the biggest enemy is not on the field, but in life itself. Although a step behind most of her peers, she seems to have begun to master the technology in the failed.
The "Crying Bag Fighter" Who Shed Tears Again
Back on the bus to rest, she still couldn't hold back the tears. By this time, the eyelashes planted had fallen in half, leaving only a few long pokes in the middle, but she was very ugly. Once again, like Sisyphus, she pushed the stone in her heart, perked up, and vowed not to lose again.
The story of inspirational reversal is told too much, and the failure after doing my best is even more touching. However, just as the sister of the music knot gave a generous speech, she was greeted by the ruthless spit of her companion Tada who "obviously can say it in one breath but has to say it in two sentences", which pulls the audience back to reality.
"Moonlight" never boils late-night chicken soup, nor does it love value, but just presents the actual life to the audience as it is. And in real life, there are not so many serious generous statements, there are laughter and tears, and there are vague visions for the future in the tears. When I saw so many ordinary people in "Moonlight" trying hard and somewhat clumsily to live, the world didn't seem to be so bad.
