Japan, which won a friendly match against Brazil at home on the 14th. News continues even after nearly a week has passed since the game ended. In the previous 13 showdowns, the team overturned two goals and won a come-from-behind victory with Pelescore against Brazil, which was absolutely inferior with 2 draws and 11 losses and 5 points and 35 runs. Most local media in Japan are mentioning the match against Brazil and leaving out the title 'historic victory'.
In the midst of this, Japanese comedian Akashiya Sanma (70)'s comment is drawing attention. "Brazil was not the best member," he said on his MBS Radio Youngtown Saturday on the 18th, when asked about his opinion on the Japanese national team's victory over Brazil. It's hard to say that Japan is still the best member. I heard that Brazil is missing some of its main players. I know Japan is also missing about four to five players. "In fact, it doesn't mean anything unless it won the World Cup and international competitions. We don't have to be entangled in the results of the friendly match."
Akashiya Sanma is one of Japan's top three comedians along with Takeshi Bit (director Takeshi Kitano) and Tamori. Since it gained full popularity in 1980, it has not stepped down from the top for nearly 50 years. In a 2015 poll of Japanese people in their 20s or older, 96% of the respondents said they knew the mountain horse. In Korea, he is the same as Yoo Jae-suk who is a comedian of the people.
He also has an extraordinary affection for soccer. Having played as a soccer player in high school, he is invited as a special caster for broadcasters every World Cup and Olympics. At the Toyota Cup (Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup), which was once held in Japan, he consistently attended as a relay panel. The remarks on the radio about the victory over Brazil are not just to bring out fun as a comedian, but rather a serious view of this affection for soccer.
