Honestly, watching an Osaka night-view video channel on YouTube beats watching that Peace-kun mascot at Omiya Park any day.

What's really bad isn't his personality — it's his head.
9AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:17
Stuff like those "raid" segments would never fly today.
Makes you wonder how many smooth-talking scammers out there have a personality this bad.
11AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:17
This isn't about TV segments — it's about how he really is, isn't it.
15AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:19
Same type as Kajisack (YouTuber Kazuhiro Kajiwara's persona).
Guys like this only exist in Osaka.
17AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:19
He's probably barking orders over the phone, acting like some kind of king.

He's a nuisance, so don't come around here.
Just keep it confined to your own neighborhood or Osaka.
18AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:20
This is way too late to bring up.
Makes you wonder why people are so obsessed with piling on Atsushi.

Re: #18
Nah, it's only become a punching bag because Atsushi reacts to every little thing.
He threw out some pathetic parting shot and ran off, but it looks like he wanted attention again, so now he's bringing this up.
20AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:23
It's less that he's got a bad personality and more that his attitude flips completely depending on who he's with — that's what sticks with me.
How sweet he acts around Ryo versus how calculating he seems around guys like Yamamoto.

Re: #20
Totally black-hearted.
It's not "I don't like this weak guy so I'll bully him" — it's "how do I turn this weak guy into my pawn."
That's the vibe I got watching the video where he didn't like "Fukei" (nickname, unclear who) and made them apologize.
21AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:23
Have the Geinou/Sports News+ reporters started making it a habit to target Atsushi Tamura with threads lately?
22AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:24
He himself said on the radio that he's been up to no good with women going all the way back to his Shimonoseki days.
26AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:25
And yet he ran and hid when that secret sex-tape thing happened.
28AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:26
Yamasato, Tanihara… this guy corrupts public morals.
63AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:52
Re: #28
Tanihara, as in the one from Handsome Suit?
29AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:26
He's not as bad as you guys, who can only bash people online.
Bet you'd all be grinning and bowing your heads the moment you met him in person lol
42AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:33
Re: #29
Though he runs away the second someone says it to his face.
31AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:27
It's less "bad personality" and more just twisted, isn't it?
32AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:27
I don't mind someone having a bad personality, but I can't stand people who act like saints despite it.
34AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:29
Sure, he's got a bad personality, that part's true — but every now and then he says stuff trying to sound like a good guy.
35AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:29
That doesn't even count as owning up to it, it's just funny.
Just don't go sticking your nose into politics, man lol
36AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:29
This guy should just go right after Oyaji Passion (a show segment).
What pisses me off is having to sit through this pointless chatter while waiting.
38AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:31
That's exactly the problem — all he does is rattle off old show segments.
39AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:31
Yeah, I know that too.
And yet people still feel that way about him all over again, right?
40AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:32
He's got that sketchy "he could be next" kind of image.
44AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:34
I thought it was awful even back then.
Anyone with normal sensibilities would think so.
45AnonymousOct 27, 2026 20:36
76AnonymousOct 27, 2026 21:04
Platinum London Boots, huh — that was Atsushi's prime. Or really, that was just the most interesting era of TV in general.
78AnonymousOct 27, 2026 21:06
Re: #76
What about Mokugeki Dokyun (a candid-camera/prank show)?
77AnonymousOct 27, 2026 21:05
Oh yeah, way back there was that "Black Mail Soushin♪" segment or whatever lol
82AnonymousOct 27, 2026 21:09
Re: #77
Wasn't that a mockumentary — staged stuff dressed up as reality?

Looking back now, what was even funny about it lol

Background and Key Points of This Topic

As one half of the comedy duo London Boots No. 1 & No. 2, Atsushi Tamura became known during the variety-show boom of the late 1990s through the 2000s for edgy segments like “raids” and “affair investigations.” His “why bring this up now” response rests on the premise that he openly did these kinds of segments back then. Opinions in the thread split between those who nostalgically view it as old-school TV staging and those who still take issue with how his attitude changes depending on who he’s dealing with. At the same time, caution is warranted: the discussion mixes facts Tamura himself has acknowledged with unconfirmed rumors — about his educational background or ties to a particular talent agency, for instance — and this article excludes any claims that lack solid grounding.
