PLOT
‘Bachi Bachi Erekiteru’ was a variety programme broadcast on the Fuji TV network from 17 April to 18 September 2013.
According to Hamaguchi, it was ‘a programme aiming to be the next Nainai’. The concept involved young comedians selected from the preceding programme, ‘Rocket Live’, carrying out projects such as location shoots and sketches, thereby spurring each other on. The young comedians’ regular appearances were strictly provisional; every two months, the ‘Bachi Bachi Member General Election’ (described below) was held, and the member who ranked lowest each time was replaced by another young comedian. Towards the end of the live broadcast of ‘24-Hour Zero TV’ (Zero TV) on 25 August 2013, MC Hamaguchi announced that the programme would end at the end of September. From 11 December 2013, it was revived as a live broadcast programme within Zero TV, with the title changed to ‘Bachi Bachi Eleki-teru Zer0’ and other aspects adapted to the Zero TV format.
