Nippon Cultural Broadcasting is currently holding a “Give you our best wishes for the summer heat! Nippon Cultural Broadcasting Special Week” for one week from August 26th (Monday) to September 1st (Sunday). During the period, each program will have special projects and presents, and popular guests will appear one after another.
On August 28th (Wednesday), Tomoaki Ogura, who is also the program’s commentator, will appear as a guest on “Kunimaru Shokudo.” A 4-hour live appearance was realized as a special partner throughout the program.
On the topic of past “failure stories,” Ogura opened up by saying, “Since the statute of limitations has expired, I’ll tell you about some failures I’ve never talked about before,” and confessed about a mistake he made when he appeared on a horse racing broadcast on the radio. “The broadcast starts at 12:00 noon, and I was treated to yakiniku after work the day before, and I was 29 years old at the time and had my first yakiniku.It was delicious and the alcohol went well.Before I knew it, it was 4:00 in the morning. I decided to get some sleep, but when I woke up it was 11am. I jumped up, jumped on the train to Nishi-Funabashi (where the racetrack is located), and ran as fast as I could to the racetrack, one minute before the broadcast started. “Excuse me! “I went into the studio,” he said, and although he managed to make it in time for the broadcast to begin, “But I definitely smelled like alcohol (lol).So, while Mr. Kyosen (program personality Ohashi) next to me was talking, I fell asleep. But when Mr. Kyoizumi asked me, “What do you think about Ogura?”, I answered in my sleep (lol), but I thought he would definitely get angry. He told me, “I’m worried about you, so why don’t you call me next time?” But I didn’t have time to make a phone call (lol),” he recalled.
He also shared an episode of the solo interview he conducted when Paul McCartney visited Japan in 2013. Ogura said, “He was kind and answered even when I asked him a lot.I asked him the question I wanted to ask the most, “Is it true that Paul can’t read music?”He said, “It’s true.” When I asked him if he wanted to record it on the music sheet, he replied, “There’s a professional, so they’ll write down the phrases I hummed or sung while playing the piano on the music sheet.” Ta.
In addition to this, the program also talked about topics such as the “Paris Olympics and Paralympics” and the “Liberal Democratic Party presidential election.”
