Macho Akasaka’s Comment This is my third year competing in tournaments! In my first year, I was one of two runner-ups. In my second year, I came in fourth out of four. I’ve been playing Bebetako for the past two years, so I really wanted to win this year! I wanted to at least get third place, but Unfortunately, I fell just short and came in fourth. I’m so frustrated!! It’s a difficult result to comment on, both in terms of the ranking and as a comedian. Even though my partner told me, “Don’t just come in fourth!”, that’s what happened! That’s what Macho Akasaka is like, so he’s a macho guy. But compared to last year, I’ve gained a lot more muscle, and I’ve lost the most weight I’ve in the last three years. I feel like I’ve grown more than ever, so I’m determined to work hard and win next year!
