Originally, I posted the other 6 guys here, but when I went to add Tacchon`s it wouldn`t fit! And then I kind of forgot to put it up...

So without further ado, I present to you Tacchon`s 88 questions!

thanks for this~!

[renchan5]

Glad you enjoyed them! Yeah, a couple of them didn`t give super long answers...But at the same time, there really were only two choices for some of the questions :)

29. Who is the most interesting in the group?
Tacchon: Yokoyama-kun, Subaru-kun, Maru. The so-called “boke” people. (laughs)
--> can i ask you, what is boke?

30. Who is the most boring?
Tacchon: There are no boring people.
--> ~~ah tacchon is a nice guy X))
but i think i've read a translation, that they mantion yasu is a boring person? XD))

[renchan5]

Hahaha Yes, this is that same translation! `Boring` in this case, means that he often messes up the punchline of a joke...Which he really does do a lot, and is then picked on for that. :D

`Boke` means the idiot. In Manzai comedy, there are usually two characters:

Tsukkomi, or `straight man` (aka: the one who whacks people on the head)
Boke, or `idiot man` (aka: the one who says something that makes the tsukkomi smack him on the head)

The interesting thing about Manzai is that the whole `Tsukkomi-Boke` relationship is very similar to the comedy style in America back in the 30s. (Abbott and Costello are a classic example of what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott_and_Costello)

Hehe Does that help?
