 Kitajima Saburo Parody - Japan Forum
I'm looking for info on which Kouhaku or which shows had both Kitajima Saburo (famed enka singer and actor) and Kinashi Noritake of Tunnels (Tonneruzu http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/comedian2.shtml) together, where Noritake was doing a parody version of Saburo as "Norisabu" or "Saburnori" or some character name like that?
Norisabu did an excellent job mimicking Saburo...and I saw once when one other guy was also mimicking Saburo, and the threesome did a comedic sing along of a parody of Saburo, himself.....
Looking for show title and year it was done....believe it was either one of the kouhaku shows or a New Year special show, but there may have been others....
