The Batsu Game is one of the most well-known segments in Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende and it’s history, going back to the show’s debut in 1989. He is regularly seen as an active side participant in the annual Batsu Games, where he appears at the end of the game in various characters related to the game’s theme, wishing the participants a Happy New Year. In Japanese, batsu () means 'punishment’, and although it has the word'game’ in it’s name, a batsu game () is more of a punishment or set of punishments that a loser must undergo for his loss in a prior bet, competition, or. Starting as an in-joke, his nickname Gaa-suu has been regularly featured in said games as part of the name. In all of this is a slew of Japanese actors, comics, musicians and celebrities making appearances in those skits. Gaki no Tsukai is an amazing show on a weekly basis, but they pull out all the stops for the annual special This year was really good with the Youth High School batsu. It was a good combination of running gags and some new ones. The theme we saw early in the 2000s, which is arguably their one of their best NYE specials. Anyways this year’s special was remarkable and rumored to be the last, so it was neat seeing Puffy do the end song, which may be the biggest act to do it. I was hoping for an original song recapping the batsu game, which I recall being pretty standard. Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende (, Downtowns ‘Im Not An Errand Boy’, alternate translation 'Downtowns This Is No. But nope it was “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” with new lyrics recapping the special. It is neat to see Puffy on a bigger stage than they usually get these days ( probably 10-20% of Japan was watching*).īut. I think some of the issue may have been translation which didn’t feel as tight as the rest of the show. Maybe this is because translating lyrics is different. Also the vocal delivery was not super energetic, which I could apply to a lot of what Puffy has done in recent years. After participating to a previous show where they have to bet or be challenged to any kind of competitions, the losing members of the Gaki no Tsukai are. Long story short, it was fun enough and I am glad Ami and Yumi get some serious TV time.
