Kinashi Solo

Kinashi Noritake (photo left, 42) of the comedy duo Tunnels is to put on his first ever one-man stage show in Tokyo this weekend. “Noritake Guide” will feature comedy, drama, singing and dancing. With a 20-plus-year career behind him, Kinashi is considered something of an all-round entertainer and, along with sidekick Ishibashi Takaaki (42), is one of the biggest earners in Japanese showbusiness. “This show is a chance for me to do all those things I’ve always wanted to do,” he said, adding “I’ll even appear naked!” Tickets for the show have already sold out.
