“Hamada's Holiday” is a popular series that had been streamed on Yoshimoto Kogyo’s video streaming service YNN since June 2014. Masatoshi Hamada goes on free-spirited trips to various places with his close junior comedians.
Lemino will exclusively stream an all-new revamp program titled “Hama-chan’s Holiday” and this latest episode is shot in Malaysia.
The show’s first guest will be GACKT, a unique Japanese artist who is active all over the world.
GACKT has been living in Malaysia for the last twelve years and introduces Team Hamada from local gourmet recommendation to high-end restaurants that they cannot usually go to. He even invites them to his super luxurious house.
Many of the charms of Malaysia are delivered through Hamada's private life, such as chartering an open bus to sightseeing at landmarks in Kuala Lumpur and visiting night markets.
A week before streaming begins, Team Hamada (rumored to be the lamest comedian troupe) will hold their first live talk event “Hama-chan’s Holiday Live” on Monday, December 18.
This event will make “Hama-chan’s Holiday - Travel in Malaysia” 100 times funnier! The members will look back on iconic and rare scenes from the past eight episodes of the “Hamada's Holiday” series with footage, sharing full of behind-the-scenes stories.
Advance tickets, which go on sale on Friday, December 3 at 11:00, will include a collab t-shirt by the hugely popular brand SAPEur and Masatoshi Hamada, which will make you feel like one of Team Hamada!
Be sure to come to Masatoshi Hamada’s first in-person talk event since April 2022’s “Densetsu no Ichinichi (tr: A Legendary Day).”
Comment from Masatoshi Hamada: “We might even do this again if the crowd loves it.”
