The magicians of Laugh/idio2

On the fourth and final day of the Daidogei World Cup, held under a sky perfectly fitting for a grand finale, the Sizigas Point near the south gate of Sunpu Castle was already bustling with people even before performance began. And the crowd's main attraction was …idio2!

Known for their laugh-inducing performances, idio2's stage was filled with laughter and amazement that captivated people of all ages - truly a "magic" show in every sense of the world.

Accompanied by comical music, they performed a series of astonishing tricks using everyday objects, sparking cheers and applause throughout the audience.

Through the interview, what became clear was their deep commitment to performance. They described their strength as being not just in their skills but in their communication. They shared that they aim to express themselves honestly through their facial expressions and voices, while finding creative ways to amplify their presence on stage. Indeed, their expressions and voices added layers of emotion and humor to the performance, drawing waves of laughter from the crowd.

Yes, their performance was more than just funny - it was a gradient of laughter and wonder. Starting with a lighthearted, pop-style exchange, the duo gradually drew the audience in with increasingly surprising and sophisticated techniques. Their 30-minute act was packed with energy that captured the audience's attention from start to finish - a magic that cannot be described with ordinary words.

On the final day of the 2025 Daidogei World Cup, idio2 left the audience thrilled with laughter and emotion. Looking ahead, they plan to focus not only on large-scale events like the World Cup but also on their solo performances.

Let's look forward to seeing idio2 bring their magical laughter to Shizuoka again in future Daidogei World Cups.
