Comedy duo Audrey is often invited in a meal by famous people. A member of Audrey, Wakabayashi Masayasu told about a meal with GLAY and Kitano Takeshi on a TV program.
Kasuga Toshiaki of Audrey is popular in his haughty attitude throwing out his chest and answering to others with “Wi!!” on Manzai (Comedy) and variety shows. However, from what Wakabayashi Masayasu have told on “Waratte Itomo! Zokango” broadcasted on May 29, he seems to be so haughty also in his private life.
TERU of the popular rock band GLAY has been a fan of Audrey since before their big break and he has invited them in his birthday party; he is an enthusiastic fan knowing all of the Audrey’s notable comedies by heart.
Someday, Audrey was invited by TERU to have a meal with all members of GLAY. At that time, TAKURO said “Audrey and GLAY are similar, aren’t we?”
“No, no, no, we’re never similar to you,” Wakabayashi said, considering it was clear that they were not similar at all; but astonishingly, Kasuga smiling, simply admitted it. He said that he had felt “they’re really understanding!” at that time.
Kasuga’s simple answer bewildered Wakabayashi, but after all, it got clear that what TAKURO had wanted to say was they were similar in a point that both of them were classmates and old friends from a junior high school.
When Kitano Takeshi brought Audrey to an Italian restaurant, respectable seniors such as Higashikokubaru Hideo (Sonomanma Higashi), Guadalcanal Taka and Dacho Kurabu were sitting with them.
Wakabayashi was too tense to taste Italian dishes. At last, eight kinds of sweets were brought to choose as a dessert.
While everyone chose a sweet they like, in Kasuga’s turn absurdly he told “I’d like all of them.”
Except for Kasuga, they had only one sweet so they finished it soon and wait for Kasuga to finish his. He kept all of the respectable seniors waiting and moreover, he couldn’t finish all of them and left some of them.
“It was disgusting!” Wakabayashi shouted, remembering the situation at that time. He seems to suffer from his partner’s haughty attitude not only on TV, but also in his private life.
