"Masahiko and Yoshio Live Tour 2021-2022" kicks off at a live house in Yokohama on December 9th. Masahiko Kondo (57) and Yoshio Nomura (57) will tour seven locations nationwide, including Osaka, Fukuoka, and Sapporo, next spring. At the age of 57, they call each other "Matchi-kun" and "Yocchan", and now they both have blonde hair. I don't mind rehearsals.

Inside, I'm saying, ``Let's bet on Rotor Power.'' The point is that the fans are of a good adult age, and they will likely spend money such as ticket prices.Tickets With the pre-sale as a selling point, we are also looking for fan club members.” (music official)
"Indefinite activity self-restraint" due to affair scandal
It was in November last year that Masahiko Kondo's five-year affair was revealed by "Weekly Bunshun." Johnny's office announced "indefinite self-restraint" in response to the "eldest son" Kondo's scandal, but in the end he left in April this year without saying anything. Since then, his entertainment activities have been regular radio shows, and the rest has been racing-related activities that he has continued for many years. “But I was with Johnny’s for 44 years, most of my life. ”, and before the encore, they sang “Gingiragin ni casually”, which was like a best hits medley concert.The title at this time was “Re START”.Of course, Yo-chan played the guitar in the background. (Same as before) The 40th anniversary of his debut, which was planned for December last year, was canceled due to the affair scandal, and the fans who drank tears at that time gathered for this "restart".
The ``Tanokin Trio'' was born from the Kinpachi boom
However, from the ``generation'' side, it seems that you can hear a tsukkomi saying, ``If that's the case, then Toshi-chan should also be invited!'' It all started in October 1979. The first season was broadcasted in the popular drama "3rd Year Class B Kinpachi Sensei" (TBS). Johnny's idol Toshihiko Tahara (60), Yoshio Nomura, and Masahiko Kondo appeared as students there. Thanks to the Kinpachi boom, the group became popular in no time, and the group name was "Tanokin Trio", taking the initials of each group. Their image colors are red, blue, and yellow. Toshi-chan fans will wear red, and match fans will wear blue. Since then, member colors have become the standard style of Johnny's Group.
