02-08-2012 Seung-chan's Diary: Working hard in Osaka

Working hard in Osaka

Today in Osaka, I appeared on a talk show called "Puri Puri". I met Bonchi Osamu-san again who I first met in Yoshimoto Shinkigeki. It was a really nice talk show. The show was aired live and it was thrilling. It was so fun^-^

Then, I had a recording for the show, Emi Channel. The show is as famous as America's Oprah Winfrey show here. I think there's no other woman who can talk as well as Emi-chan (Emi Channel host).

Maybe she has a lot of experiences that's why she talks very well about serious issues to life stories. I really had fun listening to all of them. She's strong-minded. Emi-chan is strong-minded indeed.

During last year's M1 Champion (stand-up comedy competition), Punk Boo Boo stunned the audience with their performance. They're definitely strong-minded too. It was a nice experience appearing on the show.

I truly enjoyed working in Osaka! Next time, I'll come again!! Bye bye
