Usual New Year!? Tackey Gives Otoshidama to 180 People!


On December 3rd it was revealed to the press a New Year special performance of “JOHNNY’S World”, stage-play dedicated to the Guinness Certification of Johnny Kitagawa (81), with the participation of Takizawa Hideaki (30), entitled “JOHNNY’S World New Year with Tackey”.

JW is a long run stage-play that started on November last year and will go on until March. During the second act of the said performance, Takizawa took over the stage with a special edition of “Takizawa Kakumei”, and he will perform there until January 6th. “Since this is a New Year Special I wanted to try to put some laughter into it”, Takizawa said. A smiling Nakayama Yuma (18) added, “Even though we worked hard, we were able to relax and enjoy the show while performing”.

Takizawa is used to perform during New Year’s and answer persistent questions from reporters about otoshidama given the occasion, “I’ve tried to not come out a lot so I won’t have to give otoshidama to everybody”, he said with a bitter smile. “But it feels good so of course I have to do it. After all, I also get otoshidama from a lot of people, including Higashiyama-san”. The amount was not revealed but he admitted giving otoshidama to all 180 performers of JW.

*NOTE* Audience was also given otoshidama of 5yen that day by Tackey as shown in the picture.
