wait please tell me about the trials and tribulations of how radiofish got together, I'm curious now

BOY HOWDY OKAY IM GONNA TRY SO HARD TO BE NORMAL ABT THIS BUT DKDBSKDBSNDHSKDHSJ ALSO IM AT WORK AND THEREFORE ON A TIME CRUNCH DKFHSKDBSKXBSKXBSJXH it took me all day to finish this oops djfbskdbsksn

ok so to start, radiofish is actually the combination of oriental radio (oriraji) (comedy duo) and fishboy (breakdancer). oriraji's nakata atsuhiko is the big brother of fishboy, and they started collaborating just before the release of PERFECT HUMAN. this was a part of nakata atsuhiko's three phase plan for making it big -- first was their first big break that happened upon their debut, with their rhythm skits they called "buyuuden". second was when fujimori shingo (the other half of oriraji) debuted his "charao" personality. and third was using 8.6 byou bazooka's viral rhythm skit to then boost themselves into the PERFECT HUMAN phase.

but i digress.

the trials and tribulations began right from oriraji's debut, from their big break with buyuuden. they were so immensely popular, but behind the scenes fujimori and nakata were basically at each other's throats. nakata wrote the skits, told fujimori what to do and say, and as their popularity grew, so did his arrogance. naturally fujimori felt resentment, but also knew that nakata's confidence was not misplaced -- he was v intelligent and graduated from a prestigious university. meanwhile fujimori came from a family of farmers out in the countryside and could not help but feel inferior.

meanwhile, nakata struggled to connect w their peers and senpai in the comedy field, which was something that fujimori was inherently good at.

this obviously sparked jealousy and resentment and disdain, and with such feelings becoming mutual, it led to discord between nakata and fujimori, to the point that they infamously had a physical fistfight during a live radio show they were guests on.

as the hype around buyuuden died down and there was outside pressure for them to prove themselves to be "real comedians" and try out the traditional style of comedy (manzai), they faded a little from the forefront of the comedy scene (subsequently losing their 3 prime time tv shows they had within a year)

it wasn't until fujimori's "charao" personality took off through his collaborations with ayaman japan that oriraji experienced their second big break. his whole thing became playing the lighthearted, chill, almost-womanizer type of guy, and it was hugely popular. he was featured in commercials and for a while he had a lot more solo gigs as "charao" than they had as oriraji. during this period nakata was essentially left out of the spotlight, and it was a bit of a turning point for the duo...

with the rise in their popularity, they were called in for many tv shows, one of which had them write an exchange journal where they took turns reflecting on their years as a comedy duo and it allowed them to be more honest about their own insecurities, their fears. they moved forward together, eventually bringing back rhythm skits when they decided that they didnt have anything to prove, but the skits themselves were in a new style. they were more music focused, and began to both poke fun at their tumultuous past together, as well as excessively praise nakata for very silly things.

around that same time, 8.6 byou bazooka got their big break with a rhythm skit of their own, and nakata saw a golden opportunity there -- at an event they were at together, he and fujimori performed 8.6 byou bazooka's skit, and it went viral.

it renewed the public interest in oriraji and their buyuuden, which nakata rewrote to poke fun at the fact that oriraji themselves copied another rhythm skit to get another big break.

and then they added on musical/dance performance at the end of their new skit, featuring an original song that fujimori wrote and they sang together.

since then, radiofish has held live performances, sold merch, had pop up shops, as they also continue to be featured on comedy shows. they continue to release music, their most recent single having come out in february of this year.

they released a handful of songs, but the most prominent one -- the one that was featured on that year's red and white song festival which is broadcast nationwide -- was PERFECT HUMAN.

written (in one night at nakata's request no less!) and sung by fujimori and performed by fishboy's dance group, it continued to excessively praise nakata as being the "perfect human" and comparing him to god and it also went viral. they even made a music video that was modeled after the great gatsby.

nakata and fujimori seem to be on overall far better terms and id like to think theyre long past any sort of lingering resentment, but also... a couple of years ago(?) oriraji very abruptly left their management company (yoshimoto) and it came out afterwards that it was a decision that nakata made and didnt necessarily discuss it with fujimori beforehand, which. was an issue...

to my knowledge they both mainly guest star on tv shows, but also nakata has been focusing on his youtube channel where he makes? informational/educational(?) videos... fujimori has been releasing his own original songs on his youtube channel.

i feel like im leaving a lot out but this is already longer than i meant it to be when i first started answering this -- its taken me all day to type all this out so ill leave it here.

kudos to u if u got this far, and thank u for letting me infodump :')

10/7 #マグフジ18 去年に続いてマグフジへ。 先に写真の説明しとこ。 4枚目は、34度というあまりの暑さ(この日、日本で一番暑かったのがここ清水でした)に日陰を求める皆さん。 5枚目は、ノルウェーからの豪華客船と #富士山 。 7&8枚目、清水といえば #さくらももこ さん。 ドリプラの中で見かけたやつ。 9枚目は物販で買ったもの。 キュウソのマグフジ限定Tシャツ、 #崎山蒼志 くんのCD。 ・ #キョネン���オトリ ( #キュウソ )はトリとかけてみんなヒヨコの格好で登場。 キョネンオオトリとしてはライブはまだ今回で二回目。 一曲目がバンプのカバー(これもトリ(チキン)をかけて)、 DQNで客席に行くくだりではヒヨコに乗ってドロスのワタリドリのサビを歌ったり、いつものキュウソとは少し違って貴重だったわー。 ・ #RADIOFISH は二階から見たけども楽しかった。 MCも当然おもろかった。 ・ #アルカラ は結構前の方で。 鉄板曲ばかりで楽しかったのはもちろん、最後に交差点を久しぶりに聴けてちょっと泣きそうになったわ。 しかも次の日にLUNASEAが出るってことでROSIERバージョンがこれまた久しぶりに聴けて、もうめっちゃ嬉しかった。 ・ #BRADIO 。 セトリはだいたいいつも同じ感じだけど、曲調的に盛り上がるしみんなで踊って騒ぐのめっちゃ楽しいんよなー。 ・ とにかく暑くて体力削られたのでドリプラで休憩。 #FOMARE をマイワイフが見たいって言うので見る予定だったんだけど、もう少し休まんとしんどかったので断念(´；ω；｀) ・ #でんぱ組 を二階で見る。 後ろにちゃんとバンドおるんやね。 踊ってるお客さん見るのが楽しかった。 ・ GLIM SPANKY #glimspanky 。 相変わらずいい声。 カッコいい。 ・ The Birthday #thebirthday 。 今までフェスでニアミスはあったけど見たことなくて、今回初めて見た。 なんなん？あの渋さ。 どうやったら出せるん？ めちゃくちゃカッコいいやんけ。 ・ 最後は #DJダイノジ 。 まぁそりゃ盛り上がりますよね。 マグフジはちょっと他のフェスとは違うというか、それはやっぱダイノジの思いが出演者に伝わって醸し出されるもんなのかなーと。 とにかく素晴らしいフェス。 仕事なければ6日もポルカやフレデリックや電気グルーヴ見たかったし、前夜祭の四星球もめっちゃ見たかった。 崎山くんが見られなかったのがホントめちゃくちゃ悔しい。 キュウソのすぐ後にもう一つのステージ(歩いて数分のとこのライブハウス)だから、入場規制かかるだろうから見るにはキュウソを完全に諦めて行くしかなく、直前までどっち見るか悩んで悩んでキュウソを選択。 近いうちにどこかで見られるといいなぁ。 以上。 #マグロック #フジソニック #マグフジ #マグフジ2018 #キュウソネコカミ #でんぱ組inc https://www.instagram.com/p/BouIQbpBGMA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1olpeaj80ue2h
