Zomahoun Rufin to release CD

April 15th, 2009 by James

Zomahoun Idossou Rufin, the famous Beninese panel member from the Japanese TV program Koko ga hen da yo, nihonjin (This is what’s strange about Japanese people!), is releasing a CD:


Rufin, who built two schools in Benin with the proceeds of money raised from book sales in Japan, is also planning to use the profits from his musical career to help fund social welfare programs for the needy in Benin.

He has told the Japanese press that he made the CD at the suggestion of Beat Takeshi, but Takeshi has denied any connection to the CD.

Ah, good old ここが変だよ – a show that sounded like a cool idea at first but, naturally, immediately descended into that particular breed of train-wreck assininity for which Beat Takeshi is “renowned”. I was so glad when that show ended. It didn’t matter what they put on in that time-slot, absolutely anything would have been better.

Anyway, good to see Zomahon has finally learned to speak Japanese without stammering like an idiot.
