Mr. Yamato from Comdot talks about how he entered TV.
Daiki Kanechika (EXIT), Yamato Comdot, and Osamu Suzuki will appear in “Our Age” on May 7th (Sun).
Comdot Yamato “The most effective thing is to appear on TV”
Yamato, the leader of comdot, a YouTube creator with over 4 million subscribers.
As a regular program of comdot from April, “What is comdot? (Fuji TV/Kanto Local) has started, and Mr. Suzuki serves as a broadcast writer.
And near:(To Yamato) Did you think you wanted to advance into television?
Yamato:Originally, I didn’t think so. When I gather support from the younger generation and say, “What should I do next?” I thought that the most effective way would be to appear on TV.
And near:Ah, 40’s, 50’s.
Yamato:I agree.
And near:For people in their 40s and 50s, TV is still strong.
Mr. Suzuki talks about the changes in the TV industry and YouTube industry in the past few years, saying, “If it was Fuji TV three years ago, it would not have been OK,” regarding Comdot’s advance into TV.
In addition, Mr. Yamato talks about the response of trying a TV program.
Osamu Suzuki “I learned common sense” from his wife, Miyuki Oshima
Mr. Suzuki advised Mr. Yamato, who said that he wanted to get married, “The sooner the better.”
Then, I reply, “I think I want to do it next year, the year after next.”
And near:seriously?
Suzuki:That’s right, that much is better.
Yamato:If you say something like, “You can’t get married,” you’ll sound like an idol, don’t you think?
And near:yes yes
Yamato:I absolutely hate that. I’m a YouTube creator. I know myself that I have an idol element, but what we are showing is “life”. I think I might get married.
And near:Hmmm! Were there any good things about getting married? Mr. Osamu.
Suzuki:I’m glad I got married because when I was a broadcast writer for 10 years, I didn’t know much about common sense. And Ms. (Miyuki) Oshima is a person with a lot of common sense…
Mr. Suzuki says, “I was warned about various things, and I realized how bad I was as a person,” with a specific episode.
Daiki Kanechika “The world of television is a three-year cycle”
Mr. Kanechika develops a theory about the fast-changing television industry.
And near:In the world of television, it’s just my own opinion, but I think it’s a three-year cycle.
Suzuki:yes.
And near:Popular. The same goes for young girl models and comedians. Three years have passed since Burn and Hane. When junior high school students go on to high school, when high school students go on to college, and when college students start job hunting, they stop watching. I stopped supporting you. To be honest, I have an image that everyone will be gone in about three years.
Yamato:I see.
And near:It applies a lot to me. I wonder what it’s like to be a YouTube creator.
Yamato:I think it’s faster. cyclically.
Suzuki:It’s been amazing lately.
Mr. Yamato talks about his sense of crisis as a YouTube creator and what he thinks about the rise of TikTok, saying, “All the results are posted in the world” by the number of subscribers and the number of views.
In addition, we will discuss media theory from various perspectives, such as the promises between members of comdot, EXIT’s strategy and relationship, beliefs about “flaming”, and the position of television.
