Oriental Radio’s Shingo Fujimori appeared on Nobuyuki Sakuma’s radio show alongside his comedy partner Atsuhiko Nakata, where he found himself teased about his ex-girlfriend. Since it was the duo’s first joint appearance since Nakata’s return from Singapore, 5ch’s reaction focused less on the ex-girlfriend herself and more on Nakata’s “oblivious” behavior — with many commenters noting that Fujimori now seems to be the bigger star of the two.

Shingo Fujimori (43), of the comedy duo Oriental Radio, appeared alongside his partner Atsuhiko Nakata (43) on Nippon Broadcasting’s late-night show “Nobuyuki Sakuma’s All Night Nippon 0 (ZERO)” (airing Wednesday late nights at 3:00), which aired in the early hours of the 26th. During the broadcast, he was teased about his ex-girlfriend.
It was the duo’s first joint appearance since Nakata returned from Singapore. The appearance reportedly came about after Fujimori appeared alongside TV producer and radio personality Nobuyuki Sakuma on TV Asahi’s “MEGUMI Mama no Iru Bar” this past March, where he consulted with Sakuma about his future plans.

Nakata's lost his touch too
He went on about breaking away from old media and ditched Fujimori to get off TV, and now he's suddenly saying he wants back on TV. He trashed radio and denied all of Fujimori's work, and yet now he wants to do radio too, going on about wanting to appear on TV together with Fujimori as "memories of the two of them" — no wonder Fujimori snapped at him.
He's always been like that. Same as Hikari Ota — he never had friends growing up, so this is just how he relates to people. No experience with real success or failure, so he can't tell what's okay to say versus not, or what's actually funny versus not.
Complaining about "tact" over this is kind of missing the point…
then again, that's exactly what 5ch is for.
he's just spinning his wheels.
With Audrey it was Wakabayashi who came out on top, with Nankai Candies it's Yamasato — guess I've had no eye for talent since the days of Beat Takeshi and Shinsuke Shimada.
He should drop him sooner rather than later.
Maybe he's just got enough breathing room that he can afford to help him out.
I think Fujimori's just a genuinely nice guy
not really the type to get angry.
Funny thing is, they're just as entertaining as ever…
Like tips on "it's better to lick the chestnut nice and slow"? (crude innuendo — "kuri," chestnut, is slang wordplay)
he just chose to step back from TV himself, so if there's demand, they'll use him.
Apparently when they first met, Nakata thought "Fujimori's too good-looking, I have to protect him" — but it's actually the opposite; sounds like Fujimori's been the one covering for Nakata from the very start.
He's used being devoted to his wife and daughter as a shield, but it feels like he's due for a slip-up soon.
There were some close calls with Aoki Macho and Kei Fubuki too.
Fujimori, by contrast, was clearly seasoned and handled it well.
If this keeps up, Nakata's negative vibes are going to drag him down — Fujimori should just go solo.
It's less that he can't read the room and more that his sense for variety shows has seriously dulled.
He couldn't even pull off the basics he used to manage
like, he was so eager to land a joke that he kept pushing to talk over everyone, all scrambled and clumsy, like a first-year rookie comedian.
