With today’s economy, even colossal titans need extra work. Luckily, their tall statures make them a perfect fit for construction.
Japanese variety show SMAP×SMAP, featuring Japanese boy band SMAP, did a bit showing just that, with a skit called “Shiniri no Kyojin,” (“Giant Newcomer”) a play on Attack on Titan’s Japanese title, “Shingeki no Kyojin.” In the video, group member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi plays a titan who shows up to his job at a construction site run by a foreman played by Goro Inagki.
SMAPxSMAP airs on Kansai TV and Fuji TV every Monday night at 10PM JST.
