Union Suits on America's Got Talent?! Part II
Last week I introduced you to two talented Japanese boys who appeared on the NBC America's Got Talent show this past summer. The costume of one of them, Taro, consisted of a union suit. After their initial "animal acts," Taro, still in just his white long underwear, takes his seat once again, places a unicorn mask on over his head, and readies himself for their next act.
Gomi reappears, holding an inflated pink balloon:
Taro tears off the mask and jumping up, signals his appreciation for the audiences' applause and...
Again, my thanks to NBC Universal / Peacock and the entire ensemble of America's Got Talent!
Union Suits on America's Got Talent?! Really?
Union Suit Fans, did you happen to watch NBC's America's Got Talent, Season 19, this past summer, featuring Simon and Heidi, Howie and Sofia? If you did, maybe you caught Episode 7 where two boys from Japan appeared in their union suits. I had not seen that before on this show. Their contibution was absolutely fantastic and the audience and judges eventually went wild. In fact, Sofia, pushed the golden buzzer as she was so taken with them and their performance.
The duo go by the stage name of "Schumacher" (for some reason) and had perfected their talent over the past ten years. It was the first time Yuya Gomi and Ryu Taro had ever even been in the United States. There they were, standing on stage in front of America's most famous judges and an overflow theatre crowd, dressed smartly in matching suits and dress shirts. Would they dance, sing, do magic? Well, no. But their act WAS magic.
In the blink of an eye, Taro strips down to a white union suit! Gomi returns with an animal mask. Taro takes a seat in just his long underwear as the audience stare in questionable wonder.
As the dog mask is removed, the boys jump to their feet, receiving long exuberant applause....
Taro removes the tape from his union suit and dispenses with the zebra mask while Gomi heads back to his curtain. What's next?!?!
