【episode about the song】
Once shortly after the recording CD(瘋痴狂/Fuchiku)was made, Wajima and Suzuki Due to the length of the Rakugo scene during the live, it became a crisis of dissolution.
Suzuki says that the heat that swelled during the live might cool down.
Wajima says that he does not want to change because he is particular about it.
Nobu tries to stop the two in confusion and tears.
On that day, the two parted in a bad atmosphere.

Nobu was worried, but the next day, Wajima and Suzuki seemed to be as usual.
It seemed that they had calmed down overnight, and Suzuki said that they would not break up because of this,
Wajima and I both thought so, he said.
No big deal. It's just a sibling rivalry.
Nobu was stunned and said, "Give me back my tears!"

Wajima and Suzuki are basically on good terms, and there is no quarrel between them.
This is the only possible danger.
We can laugh about it now.
(From 30th anniversary commentary book.)

【Rakugo/落語】
traditional Japanese comic storytelling.
The narrator is called a “Rakugoka”.
Rakugo performers wear kimono and perform.(Kimono is a traditional Japanese costume.)
In rakugo, the performer always wears a kimono and performs various roles by himself.

【Wajima's Rakugo part】
The scene where Kinzo, who has decided to double suicide with a prostitute, comes to say goodbye to his master, who was indebted to him.
I can't say clearly that I'm going to die, so it's a funny conversation that doesn't mesh.

Wajima sometimes inserts his own story in the middle of Rakugo during live performances.
He said that he recently appeared on a TV children's program on this day.
He mentioned the name of the program, which caused a lot of laughter.
