Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe posted on twitter a photo of four members of Tokyo eating pizza together at a restaurant, a conversation in an issue of last year's magazine and an agreement to eat together, and now it's finally done.
Abe writes, "I'm meeting with the Tokio guys again." They have made great efforts to revitalize the Fukushima region. We had a great conversation and had a very happy time together. ”
In a previous magazine conversation, Abe affirmed Tokio's contribution to Japanese agriculture, and you read that, as the Jenis idol boy band, Tokyo was rewarded for their achievements in agriculture.
Last month, tokio member taiichi also broadcast in the news that Captain Shigeru Shiroshima, as an agricultural expert, went to the prime minister's official residence to attend the government's meeting on cooperation on agricultural welfare, and proudly said, "Look! That's our captain! ”
The following Yakiya Jun will tell you about this idol group, which has officially ushered in its debut for 25 years this year, and why they have made important contributions to agriculture.
They are also the national boy band of Japan
Officially debuted in 1994, Tokyo, which consists of Shigeru Shiroshima, Taiichi Kunita, Masahiro Matsuoka, and Tomoya Nagase, is one of the few band-like groups in the J family that includes lead singers, keyboardists, bassists, and drummers.
They have a strong musicality, as well as the explosive performance, as well as the strength of live live performance, is the first group of J artists to participate in the "summer sonic" music festival, they have a lot of male fans on the scene. The members also have the ability to compose music and write lyrics.
Today, the members are all over 40 years old, and even some have become fathers, but when they were young, they can be said to be quite fresh meat
The appearance is not at all inferior to the current small fresh meat, especially The team has the "two towers" known as Matsuoka Masahiro and Nagase Tomoya, full of manhood.
From their debut to 2017, they represented Janis in the "Japanese Spring Festival Gala" "Red and White Song Club" for 24 consecutive years, and their popularity has not faded for a long time.
In the previous "100 Faces of Japan's Most Famous" survey conducted by the Japanese media, Tomomo Nagase, a member of tokio, was also on the list.
They are also agricultural groups
We all know that the artists of Janis Studio are often multi-talented, active in singing, TV series, movies, stage plays, hosting, variety shows, etc., but how could we not imagine that the J family would have such a group and make achievements on the agricultural stage.
Here I have to mention a variety show co-hosted by the members of tookio - "ザ! Boom! dash！！ 》（《the！ Iron Fist! dash！！ 》）
NTV broadcasts this large-scale reality show every Sunday night, involving agriculture, ecology, economy, life and other aspects, and affects the Japanese people and the Japanese economy with constant challenges, responsibilities and efforts.
Launched in 1995, it has a history of 24 years, and the program ratings have always been at the peak, with an average annual rating of 18.4%, which is the highest average rating of regular variety shows in Japan, not only a fan journal of Tokyo, but also loved by audiences of all ages!
A lot of reality TV artists pay a lot, but only make a superficial appearance in the show, but in "The! Iron Fist! dash！！ Tokio is not just playing.
For more than 20 years, the members of Tokio have traveled all over Japan and into the heavens and the earth in the spirit of challenge, from orthodox idols to agricultural idols, oh no, farmers.
Farming, trees, building houses, raising animals, transforming cars, building railways with bare hands, opening up deserted islands... Under the various grounded and coaxing planning exercises of the show, Tokio has trained a magical agricultural skill, and has also changed from a green and fresh meat to a farming master who impresses experts.
Even when asked "What is your job?" on the show, Japanese viewers said that "for Tokyo, agriculture is the main business, singing and dancing is only a side business." In China, many fans call them "agricultural metal groups.".
There are many classic projects in the show, and the one that impressed Budaya Jun the most was the "dash village" that began in 2000.
Together with the local population, the five rebuild the village, personally cultivate crops, raise animals, and have full access to a variety of agricultural skills. The members jokingly said that "since starting dash village, it has been longer to pick up the hoe than to hold the microphone".
Over the course of 11 years, the Five of Themselves built a village on their own until 2011, when it was abandoned by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
No wonder Captain Shigeru Shiroshima said that he no longer needed to wait for farmers to open their mouths to know why the local vegetables were grown so delicious, because he had become an expert in agriculture...
The above picture of Shiba Inu's smile once blew up the Chinese Internet, and this Shiba Inu named "Kitaden" is the pet that tokyo members raised from childhood to adulthood in Dash Village.
Beideng and Dash Village are not just for the sake of the effect of the program, are real, in the program is not shown in the part, the program team has an official website homepage, recording the specific construction process of Dash Village, including tracking the growth of animals such as Beideng, as well as the detailed growth of crops.
In 2017, when Beideng died, the program team also made a special program to commemorate Beideng.
In addition to building villages, Tokio also developed an uninhabited desert island in 2012 and built a "dash island".
The desert island, the size of 10 Tokyo Domes, was abandoned for 40 years, and there were only broken walls on it, so they built a hand-cranked railroad track to transport supplies, built a sailing boat for fishing, built a house for the sake of settling down, cultivated the natural potatoes on the island for three years and improved the varieties....
Almost every major project takes two or three years to do, all by hand.
Going up the tree or something is already commonplace.
It's tough, but there's no shortage of fun things to do, like a bikini floating around the shore with "crazy girl" written on it
There were even panties
The ancient shark "frilled shark" was also caught in Tokyo Bay, and marine experts who have been active in Tokyo Bay for many years were also surprised by their strong luck.
After digging out a scoop of soil to plant crops in the city, ancient melons grew
Buya Jun wanted to say that they were possessed by koi and full of European energy, but even if there was so much luck, it was actually the result of accumulating over time.
Dangerous work they also do themselves.
For example, a program visited Echizen Washi, a famous object in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, and tokio members participated in the production of washiba parachutes at a long-established brand.
In order to verify the safety of the built parachute, the safety test needs to jump from a height of 4000 meters, and the parachute will automatically open when it is 300 meters above the ground, and check whether the washi paper can support people to land safely.
Captain Shigeru Kijima first experienced the ability to resist at different wind speeds
Later, he was challenged by his heavy puppets such as his body, and under the expectation of people's necks, the historic Echizen washi paper finally resisted the wind speed of 50m/s and landed safely.
This is how tokio has repeatedly promoted various Japanese rural masterpieces, so that audiences in the city can pay attention to these important cultural heritage and pay attention to the countryside.
Although the various challenges are also very difficult, but the tokio five people turn the hardships into entertainment, basically play what they think, the audience will also make a smile when watching, the show's producer Shimada Soichiro said, "These five big and big men, but also play with the heart is not old."
This professional and entertaining show received a 9.7 rating with almost no bad reviews.
Through more than 20 years of tempering in the program, several of them have gone from not knowing anything about it to becoming agricultural experts, so there is the article mentioned by Yajun, who was invited to the prime minister's official residence to attend agriculture-related government meetings with the Japanese cabinet chief cabinet secretary, the minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, the minister of health, labor and welfare, and the governor of Mie Prefecture.
Some Japanese media have done a survey on "tokio's charm points", and the most fans think that "it has been continuing" ザ! dash!!」 This show".
We often see some variety shows, shoddy, various cottages in the program links, guests with stand-ins to cut pictures, and in "Dash", tokio members and staff work together in the field for 7 hours in the summer, and finally only cut less than 5 minutes to broadcast.
It is not without reason that such a program can be popular for more than 20 years, subverting The previous cognition of variety shows by Buya Jun.
Even now, in an era when it can become popular in 15 seconds, the members of tokio and the staff of the program team can insist on doing every little thing for so many years, such as how to make "the world's best ramen", considering that to start from planting wheat, it really explains what is the "craftsman spirit".
You can tell The Ministry of Yajun in the message area about which places you like tookio and which of the "dash" programs are impressive.
