The talented Koji Higashino (55 years old) appeared in the variety program “Marco Porori!” (Kansai TV) aired on December 25th. When Westland won the “M-1 Grand Prix” this year, he said he was surprised by Hiroyuki Iguchi (39), who was dry with his partner moved to tears.
Two days after winning “M-1,” Westland went to the taping of the same show. Higashino, the program’s MC, asked Westland and Iguchi, “How did you do it? We were laughing happily just looking at each other, but I feel my partner was fine.”
In response to this, Iguchi said, “No, (my partner) was skipping normally. I was skipping lines, and after I won, I was able to appear on various morning programs and made lines on various programs. I sorry,” he answered harshly.
Higashino continued, “Besides, really, even though (my partner, Futoshi Kawamoto) was crying after winning the championship, it was such a terrible thing… I was surprised. When I touched that scene, Iguchi yelled: “It’s not ‘is it? Because a guy who doesn’t do anything like that pulls his legs and cries!”
To calm Iguchi, Higashino commented, “No, no, Westland, we’ve worked hard together. It’s okay to cry.” Iguchi looked unconvinced, saying, “It’s okay to cry, but are you crying so softly?” How to cry like Toki’s fist”.
