SUGIZO talks about the generation gap on “Sanma Goten.” “I’m still a rookie,” he says, highlighting his “middle management” status

■Is it okay to look at your smartphone while eating with your senior? SUGIZO: “It’s rude.” Sanma: “I’m getting used to it.”

On September 3rd, “Odoru! Sanma Goten!!” will feature a segment on “Celebrities who are worried about the generation gap.”

When SUGIZO (LUNA SEA/THE LAST ROCKSTARS) appeared as one of the guests, Sanma was surprised, saying, “It’s unbelievable, SUGIZO-san has come.” SUGIZO, who is in his 50s, said about his generation, “We’ve been doing this for 35 years, but we’re still beginners,” and described himself as a “middle manager.”

When Himahima introduced Sanma to a popular perfume, the guests in their 10s and 20s got excited, saying, “I hear couples wear it together” (Naniwa Danshi’s Onishi Ryusei) and “It’s easy for both men and women to wear” (Murasey Anna), while the guests in their 30s and above were dumbfounded. When Kazama Shunsuke asked, “Is it OK for older generations to wear it?”, a battle broke out between Murasey and Sato Hitomi (laughs). Then, when Sanma shared some love trivia about perfume, Degawa Tetsuro, who has uttered a number of famous love quotes in the past, said, “That’s why I don’t wear it,” crossing his legs with a smug look on his face, leaving the guests in their 10s and 20s at a loss for words.

On the topic of “Things I’ve realized I’ll never be able to understand the older and younger generations!”, there was a heated debate on whether it was OK to look at your smartphone while eating with your seniors. Even among the older generation, there were various opinions, with some saying it was “rude” (SUGIZO) and others saying they had “got used to it” (Sanma). Onishi also confessed that he was worried about “when to go to the bathroom” when eating with his seniors. When he pointed out to the older generation that “they’re the generation that wants to do ____,” the whole studio erupted in laughter.

Murashige scolds, “There are too many unenergetic old men in the entertainment industry.” Sanma and Degawa vigorously deny it, saying, “No, no, no!”, but Murashige shares an unfortunate episode where Kazama showed a gap in his attitude during a TV program recording. In a panic, Kazama makes an excuse, saying, “Listen to what an old man has to say too!!” Himahima gives Kazama advice on “looking energetic” with good intentions, but Kazama ends up feeling down when he realizes the truth.

Onishi’s question of “at what age do you stop being hurt by being teased as an ‘old man’?” escalated into a controversy. When Kazama said to Onishi, “You’re not that different from me, are you?” Onishi responded with a shocking “What? You’re completely different.”

Furthermore, Onishi complained, “People in their 30s and 40s say, ‘I’m an old man,’ and act like old men.” To this, Wentz and Kazama strongly refuted, saying, “No, no, no.” Then Onishi revealed a conversation he had with Kazama in the makeup room before the recording, and Kazama was embarrassed again.

In addition, the program will feature not only teenagers and people in their twenties, but also the aging of Kana Hanazawa in her thirties, which has even Sanma scratching his head, and other anecdotes, such as SUGIZO revealing the origins of the “selfie.” Don’t miss it.
