&TEAM YUMA & MAKI appear on “THE Breakthrough File”! Aiming for a breakthrough with the winning strategy taught to them by HARUA

■ “I was told to press the button if I had an idea.” (&TEAM・MAKI)

&TEAM’s YUMA and MAKI will be appearing on the new drama and quiz variety show “THE Breakthrough File,” which will air from 7pm on June 20th.

This episode will feature a battle between customs officials who are able to uncover the tricks of clever criminals and cyber detectives.

■Professionals are on the job, not missing even the slightest irregularity!
This time, “Airport Customs & Breakthrough Police Box: Breakthrough the Clever Tricks of Intellectual Criminals SP!” will be aired. Jungle Pocket’s Saito Shinji and Takada Kaho play customs officials in “Airport Customs,” which targets a Japanese couple returning from Malaysia who are acting suspiciously. The couple open their backpacks and suitcases at the airport and switch their luggage, but people who behave like this are often hiding smuggled goods. Moreover, they are noticeably concerned about their surroundings, and are strangely talkative in their conversations with Saito and the others.

Saito and Takada, who felt that something was definitely suspicious, closely checked the souvenirs and cosmetics of the couple, whose hobby was trekking. Then, the latest equipment “TDS”, which quickly detects illegal drugs and explosives, detected a drug reaction in the luggage. However, nothing suspicious was found in the body search or luggage inspection. Will “Snake Saito”, who never lets his prey escape, and Takada, a professional trained by him, be able to find the hiding place of the smuggled goods brought in by the Japanese couple?

Hana Sugisaki, who appeared as a studio answerer for the first time in five years, said, “I was surprised at how many points they could check,” and was amazed at the detailed checks at the airport. Rikyu Hagiwara is confident that he can guess, but will he?

Meanwhile, &TEAM’s MAKI was apparently taught a “surefire winning strategy” by fellow member HARUA, who had previously visited the studio. “I was told to press the button whenever I had an idea,” says MAKI. Will her “tactics of shooting multiple times to hit the target” be successful?

Also, the familiar “Totsuba Koban” reported on a case of credit card fraud. There had been a series of incidents where card information had been stolen without the victim’s knowledge, resulting in the receipt of statements for transactions that the victim had no knowledge of.

This time, the members of the Totsuba Police Station are joined by a powerful helper. The cyber detective played by Hamada Tatsuomi is a highly skilled specialist among the elite unit that cracks down on crimes on the Internet. Hamada felt something was off about the transaction at a store the victim visited, so he checked the store’s cash register, but there was no skimming device that could extract card information.

How did the criminal get hold of the card information? Also pay attention to the efforts of EXIT’s Kanechika, who is competitive with the elite.
