This week, it should be God wants to see the comedy show.
The bad news came that Ken Shimura, the King of Japanese Comedy, died of COVID-19 on the evening of March 29 at the age of 70. He was hospitalized on the 25th, becoming the first artist in Japan to be diagnosed with new crown pneumonia, and now of course becoming the first top national artist to die after the diagnosis of new crown.
In Japan, Ken Shimura has always been known as Mizoya alongside Akashi's saury and Takeshi Kitano, the pinnacle of Japanese comedy entertainers.
The status of Japanese funny artists is probably that their annual income exceeds 1 billion yen, which is several times higher than that of big-name TV stars.
When the news of his departure came, Ou Di and Yano Koji sent microblogs to mourn, Ou Di shared a photo of Ken Shimura and sent a tearful expression, Yano Koji posted sadly: "He is a comedy artist that I have always liked since I was a child. My only favorite Japanese entertainment is gone. Together, we will fight the virus."
Ken Shimura is a well-known Thailand, India, Europe and the United States and other places of the Japanese comedy king, is also like to visit the nightclub, smoke 60 cigarettes a day in the game of the old naughty boy, over the years he has been with Ishino Yoko, Yuka, former female beauty and female anchor Kato Ayako and other actresses on the same stage to spread gossip, in 2014 also broke the news that he launched a money offensive, offered a dowry of 130 million yen, monthly living expenses of 13 million yen to Kato Ayako proposed to Ayako Kato. She also had a flash marriage with her 32-year-old girlfriend, Asami Hoka.
All his life as a gamer, until the outbreak of public opinion, he still lingered in nightclubs, and many people speculated that perhaps the old man was infected with the new crown virus in these places.
For so many years, Shimura Ken in the Japanese showbiz circle, the only regret is that he has not acted in the movie he wants to act, before the original infection, he just wanted to star in the movie "God of Movies" created around him for the first time, after confirming the infection, he announced his resignation, and he did not act in his own movie after all.
Many people said that they would never see his "Shimura Zoo" again, yes, I hope, this is just another joke of this old naughty boy.
Unfortunately, there is no more joke from Ken Shimura.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the king of Japanese comedy who dared to wrestle Takeshi Kitano, and that was him</h1>
Ken Shimura began to have symptoms of fatigue on the 17th of this month, and on the 19th, he developed symptoms of fever and difficulty breathing. On the 20th, he was sent to a hospital in Tokyo and was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and hospitalized. At the time of the examination, it was suspected that he was infected with the new coronavirus, so the test was carried out and confirmed positive on the night of the 23rd.
And because of his advanced age, Shimura Ken's physical condition is not very good, the condition is getting more and more serious, on the 25th installed artificial lungs, Shimura Ken himself has been in a coma. Although there was such bad news, everyone still couldn't imagine that the bad news came so quickly.
The most memorable thing about him over the years is of course the unique Japanese comedy, and it can be said that he single-handedly pioneered an era of Japanese sketches. As long as he appears in front of the public, he does not have to deliberately twist any stems, he seems to have the blood of comedy flowing in his bones.
Don't look at Uncle Shimura's later comedies always look like a lustful uncle, but when he was young, he had an elite face of an idol male protagonist. It wasn't until 1973, when he joined the five-member group The Drifters as an intern, that he embarked on the road of no return to comedy.
Ken Shimura is a legendary comedic genius who, as soon as he debuted, he created countless characters and stories with his outstanding comedic talent, becoming a "national treasure" in the Japanese short drama industry.
In 1986, at the age of 35, Uncle Shimura owned his first title show" on Fuji TV, "His Highness the Fool".
Through extremely toxic makeup and movements, sitting there and talking to the maid of honor and others, a Japanese national comedy program and a wayward and incompetent monarch image was created.
Later, Liu Qian "knelt" in the Japanese comedy program, which was his stupid highness played.
The classic image of Ken Shimura and "His Highness the Fool" is also the "Strange Ogi-san", which is also the culmination of various "dirty strips".
Although the paragraph is dirty, it is dirty and frank, so not only is it not obscene, but it makes all the Japanese people laugh.
Ken Shimura is really hot in the market, and his audience is both stable and broad. Do you think that the people who love him should be elderly uncles and aunts?
But looking at his "Weird Ogisang" succession contest, a national goddess like Cai Caixu who dresses up as a bald person must also participate in it, and he knows that he is a real national comedian.
Even Jin Chengwu is proud to shoot travel advertisements with this strange uncle.
It is not unreasonable for Shimura Ken to become the Japanese Imperial Three Family, and the comedies he creates often start from daily life, such as the strange opening of the door that was later imitated by the running man, or the strange characters in the train performed with Takeshi Kitano, which are actually observations and amplifications of daily behavior and turned into comedy.
Coupled with the heartfelt performance of comedians, whether it is men, women and children, Japanese or foreigners, they can smile.
Over the years, he has appeared on TBS TELEVISION's variety show "8 O'Clock, All Hands", and has gained popularity with "Higashimura-san Lead Singer" and Kato Tea (77 years old) 'Beard Dance'. After the end of the "all-staff gathering", we will continue to carry out activities centered on funny short dramas and variety shows. Fuji TV's program "Ken Shimura's Stupid Old Man" and Fuji TV's program "Ken Shimura's Don't Matter" continue to establish its unique funny style.
He has stood in the show business circle for more than 40 years with good popularity, and later, all Japanese stars are proud of their cameo appearances in Ken Shimura's shows, such as a classic skit between him and Toshiyuki Nishida, who always feels that where he lost to Uncle Nishida of Shimura, he found his "wife" Kikuchi Rinko to show off, which is cruel enough.
As a result, Shimura Ken's "wife" is a generation of goddess Matsushima vegetables.
At that moment, all the Matsuoka idiots had the same voice in their hearts: Let go of my wife!
If Ken Shimura's acting regret in this life is probably that he has not performed the movie he has always wanted to do, he was going to star in the movie for the first time in the "God of Movies" that was scheduled to be released in December 20, but unfortunately, he will never be able to act in this movie.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > funny for a lifetime, a lifetime of flow, but when you go alone, life is really a sigh</h1>
Although his acting career is outstanding, if all Japanese men are most jealous of Shimura Ken, I am afraid it is another reason.
A few years ago, Shimura Ken had a 66th birthday, posted a group of birthday photos, originally this was nothing, everyone thought it should be the scene of the happy fusion family reunion, and the otaku who saw the scene at that time were stunned...
Speaking of, it is normal that the top funny artists in Japan are very profitable, and the funny king whose annual income often exceeds one billion yen, does not marry a wife or has children, is not burdened by the family, and is a gamer every day.
The old man likes to take the younger artists to the nightclub bar to drink for many years, and after the party, he will find his own hotel, or the bar with the drinking woman to renew the stall, often from 6 pm to 6 am the next day. He used to smoke 60 cigarettes a day, and was warned by the doctor that he could no longer smoke before deciding to quit smoking.
In recent years, due to long-term drinking, in 2018, Ken Shimura's liver also had problems.
Even so, he was photographed a few months ago showing up on the street with his little sister, and the two of them played and drank.
Over the years, Ken Shimura has publicly stated that he does not take marriage as the ultimate goal of pursuit, and even quipped that he "wants to change a girlfriend in three years"
As it turned out, it was less than three years at all.
Among the people who have passed on the gossip with him over the years is a large number of Japanese national goddesses.
He proposed to anchor Ayako Kato at a sky-high price, but there was no response.
The goddess Youxiang and he are divided and merged.
More than ten years ago, he also rumored that he wanted to marry his girlfriend Asami Suixiang, who was 32 years younger than himself, and the two were photographed many times secretly meeting in the restaurant, and the reporter interviewed the woman to ask her about the development of her relationship with her boyfriend for a long time.
But this relationship also ended in vain.
Television has interviewed his ex-girlfriend, who was once seriously considering getting married. The two once talked about marriage and greeted each other's parents. However, they broke up without getting married. Shimura recalled that at that time, he couldn't remember why they broke up, and asked through the program, is she happy now!?
Such an uncle really wants to talk about love and talk about 100 years old, now think about it, rich, affectionate, dozens of years younger than him Goddess all love him, wait for him, and he has been playing in the human world, it is really an enviable life.
It seems that he can easily get happiness without sacrificing anything, but at the end of his life, he is alone, and even his only brother is only blessed in the distance.
The gain and loss of life is really elusive.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a pity, the old naughty boy played the human world, there is no longer a joke played by Ken Shimura in the world</h1>
Although Uncle Shimura has always had an old and unorthodox side, in fact, funny has never been all of Shimura Ken, if it is only funny, how to become a generation of comedy kings?
Ken Shimura's B-side is the image of the director in "Shimura Zoo".
There is an old Japanese saying that if "Perverted Ogi-san" "Shimura Bursts" is one of the programs that parents least want their children to watch, "Shimura Zoo" is the complete opposite, the program is not only still loving to watch, but even can heal adults.
We not only like Pan Jun's "brilliant people", but also marvel at its relationship with the head of the kindergarten, as if it were a real father and son.
The NTV program, which began in 2004 with the introduction of cute animals, is hosted by Ken Shimura and has regular cast members such as Asami Yamase, Masaki Aiba (Arashi), Becky, DAIGO, and Chimoto Needle. In addition, guests such as Anna Tsuchiya, Miyako, Suzuki Fuku, and Ashida Aiko will participate in animal breeding sessions from time to time.
Ken Shimura in the show is really like a big parent, bringing a group of otters, pandas, kangaroos, capybaras and all kinds of rare animals to cure the whole of Japan.
The most famous unit of the show is "Ah Ben and Ah Zhan", which is the story of the large chimpanzee Ah Ben and the pit bull dog Ah Zhan's "old friend ghost".
Later, the male chimpanzee Ah Ben was evacuated in 2012 after a shocking rumor of biting and injuring people. The male bulldog, Ah Zhan, died at the age of 12.
In another episode of the show, Shimura Ken took Ah Ben's annual child Buden to visit Ah Zhan's 7 great-grandchildren who had been born for several months, and finally selected one of them as a foil for the new series of the show.
At that moment, Ken Shimura laughed and said that he had been promoted to grandfather.
Such a program is not only an animal variety show, but also a message to "cherish every life, each life has a unique beauty".
And The one who watched the "children" put on their signature workers' pants and smile brightly when they played with jump rope also showed such uniqueness and preciousness.
He is an artist of the previous generation in the Showa era in Japan, and he feels that he is a servicer, and the audience buys tickets to see, that is a guest, must strive to be funny for everyone to see, only when facing animals, he reveals another piece of true heart in life.
He is very open-minded about life, a lifetime of playing in the human world, living to the age of 70, and also published the news that the Tokyo Olympic flame will be held in Higashimurayama City, and he wants to act in the first movie of his life, which goddess to love, is still unresolved, and all of this has become an eternal suspense with his death from the new crown pneumonia.
But in this life, he has left so many comedies and brought laughter to so many people, and "funny" is the best work he has brought to the world.
So even the last farewell moment, sadness, still seems to be full of those memories with laughter.
So unbridled and warm funny, there will be no more in the future.
From then on, only the Akashi family saury and Kitano Takeshi remained.
With a lifetime of funny to show everyone, Ken Shimura really did it.
Funny for a lifetime, a lifetime of fun, a wonderful lifetime, after the game in the world, suddenly get up and leave, and the people who love him have said goodbye, the king of Japanese comedy, it is really not a waste of time.
