As a manzai duo B & B, Yoshichi Shimada, a comedian who became a pioneer of the manzai boom in the 1980 s and caused two social phenomena in Japan, "Owarai" and "Gabai Granny", has compiled carefully selected episodes from the popular section "Owarai Gabai Koyu Roku" serialized in 『 Shukan Jitsuwa 』 magazine since April 2021 into a single volume and published them as a book. With new additions, it also includes parts that have not been included in this magazine. Inspired by the memory of Yoshichi Shimada, who also has a face as a writer, this book introduces memories with entertainers who led Japanese owarai, such as Yokoyama Yasushi, All Kyojin, Beat Takeshi, and Shimada Shinsuke (honorific abbreviation), and people in the entertainment and sports world, including episodes that only Yoshichi knows about what happened at that time. This book focuses on Yoshichi Shimada's own rich experiences and activities, and is a valuable book for understanding the Showa manzai boom and the backstage. It delves into the events of that time and the episodes of the world of owarai, and is interesting for many readers who are interested in the Showa entertainment world as well as manzai lovers.
