(lots of Japanese celebrity people's common dream).<BR/>But no media tell what happen to him in USA. but now I can know by your blog.<BR/>Yes, his comedy is just saying bad thing. No rhetoric, no wit. Just hostility. Lots of Japanese people know the result of Hata's USA trip.<BR/>I dont know why Hata's performance is called comedy. but when he is yelled Suck, it become comedy. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>masamaniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9395124.post-1118771817092457652005-06-15T02:56:00.000+09:002005-06-15T02:56:00.000+09:00Damn, missed him!

The Union Square comment above made me chuckle.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="www.theducatikid.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="theducatikid at gmail dot com">Joe Grant</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9395124.post-1118722666718378312005-06-14T13:17:00.000+09:002005-06-14T13:17:00.000+09:00...of course, I could be wrong...  Or maybe G...<I>...of course, I could be wrong... </I> <BR/>Or maybe GB took the wrong turn at Albeuerque, and ended up in San Francisco, still thinking he was in New York.

As far as I know this was almost unheard of, or at the least very uncommon, until Hata, Aoki Sayaka and that guy in the suit, can't remember his name, came along.<BR/><BR/>But really, Hata doesn't seem talented, his act is growing stale, and I'm surprised he hasn't disappeared already. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>ChompskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9395124.post-1118714170851289242005-06-14T10:56:00.000+09:002005-06-14T10:56:00.000+09:00...of course, I could be wrong... Posted by S......of course, I could be wrong... <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://denbeste.nu/Chizumatic/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="sdenbes1 at san dot rr dot com">Steven Den Beste</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9395124.post-1118714133715544112005-06-14T10:55:00.000+09:002005-06-14T10:55:00.000+09:00Umm...

My guess is it won't air until after you return here, so you can (not) enjoy him, twice! <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="inakayabanjin.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="">Comrade_Tovarich</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
