The story
On the April 25 broadcast of ABEMA’s “Kinashi Record,” Noritake Kinashi climbed onto the roof of guest rapper SHO’s gold Mercedes and dented it while bouncing around on top of it — footage that has been drawing renewed criticism online over the past few days. In response, rapper K Dub Shine criticized Kinashi, asking “Noritake, do you even respect hip-hop?” — a remark that made news in its own right. On 5channel’s Entertainment/Sports News+ board, though, reactions focused less on slamming Kinashi and more on the timing and standing behind K Dub Shine’s comment. A lot of the back-and-forth also boiled down to onlookers debating who outranks whom between Kinashi and K Dub Shine.

Noritake Kinashi of the comedy duo Tunnels has faced a wave of criticism these past few days over an “incident” from a show that aired on ABEMA roughly four months ago. On social media, the backlash still hasn’t died down at all.
“The scene causing controversy is from the April 25 episode of ABEMA’s ‘Kinashi Record.’ Rapper SHO appeared as a guest, and during the show Kinashi climbed onto the roof of SHO’s gold Mercedes. Ignoring SHO’s worried protests of ‘this might be dangerous,’ Kinashi bounced up and down on top of the car and ended up denting the roof.”

What people said
That one's a slow burn, gets funnier the more you sit with it
Keep criticizing him too much and apparently his wife's "organization" comes for you
"K Dub Jain"?? (typo for K Dub Shine)
What kind of name is that lmao
Is hip-hop just full of idiots?
If the public hadn't already turned on Kinashi, he never would've said a word about it lol
There was a whole stretch where they had zero work at all
He's disrespecting the car manufacturer lol
Yeah.
That totally deflated Kj afterward
He has no idea what he's in for
What's with old man K Dub acting like some big shot?
His sales and turnout numbers aren't exactly impressive either, right?
Kinashi's done for
It's not funny otherwise
This kind of stunt only worked because it was [comedy legends] Sanma and Takeshi doing it
He's a survivor from an era when being a screwup was allowed
Then again, that lameness is pretty on-brand for a rapper lol
Yeah, it's pretty uncool honestly
Four months later he probably thought,
"If I talk tough now, I can score points with my fans!"
lol
This guy's famous for being gutless
Everyone's just laughing at K Dub over this lol
I mean, say what you want, but Tunnels did have a million-selling single
Though if we met in person we'd hash out our differences
Background and Key Points of This Story
The controversy traces back to roughly four months ago, when Noritake Kinashi climbed onto rapper SHO’s gold Mercedes on ABEMA’s “Kinashi Record” and dented its roof. It barely registered when the episode first aired — the backlash on social media only flared up again in the past few days. What stands out this time is that it wasn’t SHO himself but his senior in the scene, K Dub Shine, who spoke up, asking “Do you even respect hip-hop?” on SHO’s behalf. Opinions in the thread were split: some took a cynical view of the timing, calling it “jumping on the bandwagon now to act tough,” while others sided with K Dub Shine, arguing that “wrecking someone else’s prized car is the real problem, regardless of hip-hop.” Several posts also pointed out that the core issue is really the damaged car itself, not hip-hop — a reminder to be wary of framing this purely as a “Kinashi vs. rap” showdown.
