Who's Who Japan: Advanced

masaegu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Have fun answering these questions about famous Japanese persons. Feel free to answer just as many as you want to.

1. Who is the famous daughter of this singer?

2. These comedians started as a band. What is their group name and which famous British band did they perform as an opening act at the British band's first ever concert in Tokyo?

3. What is the current occupation of the ex-comedian in the orange-colored attire in the video (0:30 ~)?

4. Which famous Shogun is this world-class figure-skater the descendant of?

2. The drifters, and they made a 40 second performance for The Beatles as an opening act of the Tokyo concert in 1966.

3. I'm not sure...(is he still acting?--Jyunji Inagawa? Cause now he makes horror movies after he participated in comedies...) The other one is Takeshi Kitano...

Thanks masaegu, it was fun.
I think I've figured out the others too, but I don't want to spoil all the fun...

Oh wow, *laughs* Oda's the only one I know anything about. Random stab in the dark, if he's the direct descendant of a Shogun then I'm guessing the name was kept down the male line, so Oda is probably the descendant of Oda?

Thanks for your reply.

Junji Inagawa sure is in that video but I am referring to the guy in orange that talks with Kitano from about 0:30-1:10 until Inagawa appears.

This one was like a bonus question, wasn't it?

I should have been more careful in my selection of the video.

*amused* I promise I would have known his name even without seeing the title. My friend has something of a crush on him, so I have duly heard ~lots~ about Oda-san~ I think I've even seen that particular video before too.

I completely under-estimated your knowledge, then.

I was actually hoping someone would answer question #1 if not #3.

Me too, I'm curious to know who the daughter is. It's not like someone world famous is it? Yoko ono or something? Doesn't look quite old enough...
