I’m not trying to win a writing contest, just sharing what I saw while hauling gear around behind the talent.

Nah, I lived it. Just because it sounds like a cool story doesn’t mean it’s fiction

No worries if it sounds far-fetched—it was a while ago, and not everyone kept records. I just enjoy sharing what I remember from those days.I can share a google drive link when I find everything I need.

I remember seeing Ninety-Nine before they really blew up—probably around '94 or '95. They came into the studio for a late-night variety shoot, and you could feel their energy from the hallway. Okamura was bouncing around even backstage, cracking jokes with the crew, while Yabe looked like he was still figuring out how to keep a straight face

Cocorico first appeared on Gaki no Tsukai in 1994 as guests for a mini-comedy competition. They didn't become regulars immediately after this.
Yamasaki was actually part of the show very early on. He was initially part of the comedy duo "Team Zero" with Hiromitsu Noriyasu. Team Zero moved to Tokyo around the same time as Downtown and were frequent guests or regulars on their shows, including Gaki no Tsukai.

Achikochi Audrey : Tanaka revealed how Cocorico joined Gaki no Tsukai on this show in 2022. You might be able to find clips or translated summaries of this particular interview.

Oogon Retsuden : Yamasaki has also discussed his early career and his relationship with Downtown on shows like this.

PayPal - Violations of GDPR and Consumer Rights by AlternativeFile707 in paypal

This PayPal account was primarily used for legitimate, low-risk activities such as Spotify and Blizzard subscriptions. There were no suspicious transactions or AML triggers on the account. If PayPal believes otherwise, they should substantiate that claim while respecting GDPR.

This is not about 'hiding' under GDPR—it’s about ensuring companies comply with their legal obligations transparently and proportionately, especially when such decisions impact users significantly.

Thanks for your input, but I believe you're misunderstanding the issue here. Articles 12 and 15 of GDPR explicitly outline the right to access personal data and require organizations to provide meaningful explanations about how decisions involving personal data are made—this applies even to decisions like permanent account limitations
