Quick Japan vol. 156 (Cover: Bakusho Mondai)

Cover・70-page special feature
Bakusho Mondai

Bakusho Mondai graces the cover of QJ for the first time in 13 years.
More than 30 years since their formation, they have become veteran comedians, yet when performing with younger comedians, there is no sense of hierarchy.
Ota, who is never satisfied with the status quo, and Tanaka, who does what he loves without ambition.
This 70-page special feature delves into the "comedy" that these two continue to pursue, and the younger comedians who follow and watch over them!

Starting with a 9,000-character solo interview about their comedy and the media, the feature includes comments from co-stars such as Nicole Fujita and Hakuzan Kanda, an in-depth report on "Bakusho Mondai & Shimofuri Myojo's Shimpai Sho!!", and discussions on "Bakusho Mondai-ism" by Yuki Iwai of Haraichi and Kuki Kaidan, gathering testimonies from many people across generations.
Additionally, there's an interview with Kenji Suga, who has witnessed their comedy firsthand on TV for many years, and the feature concludes with an overview from Mitsuyo Ota, president of Titan.
