The final “R-1 Grand Prix 2021”, which is decided by the number one artist in Japan, was held in the city of Osaka on the 7th, and Yuriyan Retriever (30) won the championship for the first time. He has advanced to the final four times in the past, but won the crown for the fifth time. Qualifications for the tournament were changed within 10 years of performing arts, but “Yokotsuna”, who has an outstanding track record among the finalists, was at the top of 2,746 entrants and cried.

Yuriyan, who passed the first stage in the history of the office in second place, won the final with the slogan “Queen of everything you want to do.”
In the finale, I was interviewed and I smiled, “I lost 38 on a diet in two years. 38 grams … 38 kg (laughs). Originally, I weighed 110 kg and was the king of beasts. So now I’m 72 kg. “That’s right. Suddenly I pulled out the gun and shot him. “Even if I lose 38 kg, I still have 72 kg, I thought,” he says. “If you don’t think about it, you’re right,” he smiles. Going back to the interview, dropping the gun and laughing again. And again, with a gun, I developed the Yuriyan world to my heart’s content.
Of the nine comedians who have made it through the semifinals and have less than 10 years of experience, Yuriyan is the only one who has advanced to the R-1 final. Advance to the final for 4 consecutive years from the age of 15. The record is overwhelming, with third place in 2015 and 2016 and second place in 2018. For two years he has not participated due to the pressure that he must win the championship.
In the moment of victory, I covered my face with my left hand and cried. He also covered his face with his right hand. Normally the fiancee “Nanchatte” goes out here, but the tears don’t stop. “Thank you”, big tears ran down my cheeks. At the online championship press conference, he smiled: “I’ve been watching it since I was in elementary school and I’m happy to win the R-1 I’ve been looking for since I became a comedian.”
It sold well at the same time as its debut in 2013. “I had a chance before everyone else in the same period. I can’t think of it being the next time I can’t win in 15 years. I lost the 3rd and 4th time, and if not I won the R-1, I was forced to end my life. ”I looked back. In 2017, she became the first queen in” THE W “, but after R-1 in 2018, she has not participated for two consecutive years. “From then on, I didn’t win or lose, I just did what I thought was interesting. I wanted to get the R-1 by the time I died, but it’s been less than 10 years since this year, so it came out. “
This is the second female comedian to win the championship since the first Hikaru Daita. There are expectations as a leader, but “I can’t do it, so I can’t do that (laughs)”. Even so, he showed motivation to follow Naomi Watanabe (33), who respects “the goal is America.”
When asked about the truth of the tears shed after the victory, he hummed Akina Nakamori’s hit song, “It’s true. It’s not a decoration, tears.” “I only have pants to replace my gratitude,” concludes Yuriyan World. It is the birth of a talented champion.[Toshiya Kotano]
