■Kazunari Ninomiya and Erika Toda face off in a heart-pounding game that will definitely make you blush!

The 4th episode of Nino-san’s special program “Let’s play with Nino-san,” with Kazunari Ninomiya as MC, will be broadcast on October 6th at 7:58 p.m.

Kazunari Ninomiya, Fuma Kikuchi, Tomonori Jinnai, Takashi Yoshimura, Nao Asahi, Gambareruya, and the “Nino-san family” of the 3 o’clock heroine rush out of the studio and have fun with luxurious guests in this 2-hour special.

■Youth Chinese tour in Yokohama with Erika Toda!
The first guest was Erika Toda, who co-starred with Ninomiya in a drama 16 years ago. In response to Toda’s request, “I want to eat Chinese food in Yokohama!”, we went on a “Youth Chinese Tour” set in the port city of Yokohama, where you can enjoy youth games that are popular among young people today.

Speaking of youth, it’s Puri! So, first of all, we took a pre-photoshoot at a popular amusement facility. It’s been a long time since we split up into three groups, including Toda who said he hadn’t taken a photo since he was a student, and Ninomiya who said he had never taken a photo with anyone other than the members. With that momentum, the group heads to the bowling alley. This time, we divided into two teams and had a bowling match. The winning team will be rewarded with a high-quality shark fin dish at a Chinese restaurant they will visit later. I’m also curious about the results of the exciting team division lottery. Forgetting their cameras, everyone was having fun like students, and the exciting competition turned into a close battle. Which team will be able to enjoy the high-quality shark fin dish?

After sweating out bowling, it was time for Jinnai to spend his own money, as is customary on the show. In “Asobo with Nino”, it is customary to buy the eldest Jinnai a souvenir. This time again, Jinnai stopped by a Chinese general store and was begged by everyone to buy something, Jin-san. What souvenir item did Jinnai purchase this time?

And finally, the main event: a long-established Chinese restaurant run by an authentic Shanghai chef. While enjoying exquisite Chinese food, Nino and Toda look back on the filming of the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna” 16 years ago, when they co-starred as brother and sister. Ninomiya seems to have been showing off special skills that haven’t changed since then, and the memories bloom. In addition, Toda, who said, “It’s a pain to go shopping,” revealed an unexpected place where he “goes shopping only once in a while.” There was also a lot of excitement about private topics.

The last part is Nino-san’s specialty, “Game time where you might get what you want.” We play a youth game that is popular on SNS by playing something that Toda wants. The first game is “Challenge to open your eyes at the same time.” They faced each other, closed and opened their eyes, and if their eyes did not meet each other for 30 seconds, they succeeded. Nino and Toda face each other at close range. What will happen to this heart-pounding game that will surely make you blush? In the second game, “Pico Pico Hammer Challenge,” Mahiru goes wild in an attempt to stop Toda from getting the souvenir. Will Toda be able to safely get what he wants?

■A stroll through Asakusa with Takayuki Yamada! Special infiltration into the forbidden area of ​​Tokyo Sky Tree (R)
Nino and his classmate, Takayuki Yamada, go on a stroll through Asakusa. Coincidentally, Nino and Yamada made their debut in 1999 at the age of 16 and 15. 12 years later, they co-starred for the first time in the movie “GANTZ PERFECT ANSWER” released in 2011, and now that they are both over 40 years old and reunited, what do they do for fun? The plan prepared by Yamada was “I want to see the view from Tokyo Sky Tree” and “I want to eat the original Monja.” But before that, try your luck at Sensoji Temple’s omikuji. The person with the best luck will be in charge of paying for the day, and the second person will be in charge of the MC for the location shoot.

First, we wandered around Asakusa town, led by a new MC selected by the fortune teller. After enjoying goldfish scooping in the shopping district and purchasing Asakusa souvenirs to remember your trip, head to Yamada’s long-awaited long-established Asakusa Monja store. Yamada says, “I want to eat monja like THE original,” but he’s surprised when he hears the restaurant’s recommendation!? In the talk, Yamada and Nino talk about the unexpected points of contact between them, and actors’ theories on each other’s acting, etc., and talk about delicious Asakusa monja. The party continues with deep conversations while eating okonomiyaki.

After filling your stomach, it was time to head to the Tokyo Skytree, which Yamada had been waiting for. Tokyo Skytree usually has a 350-meter-high observatory deck and a 100-meter-high observatory gallery where you can enjoy the view. However, this time, we specially infiltrated the extremely valuable 497m point above the ground, which even those involved have difficulty accessing. Since it’s outdoors with no windows, we put on a harness and helmet and headed into the forbidden area. Then, in front of my eyes was a scenery that no one had ever seen before. “Tokyo Tower is over there!” “Tokyo is amazing after all!” Everyone was excited to see the spectacular view revealed to the public.

■A message to convey to Nino…A big sports day at the glamping facility with Japan’s judo representative, Uta Abe!
And Uta Abe, a member of Japan’s judo team who was very successful at the Paris 2024 Olympics, will appear. Abe, who became a fan of Nino when he was in middle school, says, “He hasn’t changed at all,” even after becoming an Olympian. Kanade, who also professes to be a Nino fan, develops a rivalry with Abe. From the beginning, there is a sense of turmoil, but what Abe wants to enjoy with Nino this time is “glamping,” something he wanted to do but didn’t have time for.

First, we procured the main meat at a butcher shop, then split into two cars and drove to the glamping facility. As is customary for Nino, the members of the ride will be decided by drawing lots. Abe and Kanade want to sit next to Nino no matter what, so they draw the lottery with their feelings in mind. Who actually got the spot next to Nino!?

After a 30-minute drive, the group arrived at a glamping facility that had been renovated from an abandoned elementary school. At Abe’s request, “I want to be active,” we held a sports day for Nino before the meal in the gymnasium, which still remains as it was back in the day. Divided into red and white teams, they competed in ball tossing, tug of war, and relay games. The winning team will receive a high-quality melon.

Team division is based on a draft system in which Red team captain Gambara Ruya Yoshishi and White team captain Maki Fukuda, the 3 o’clock heroine, select members through rock-paper-scissors. I thought the team with Abe, who has excellent athletic ability, would have an advantage, but Abe laughed so hard during the ball toss that he couldn’t get back on his feet!?Furthermore, Abe and Kanade have a serious battle over Nino in a tug-of-war. Then, the unexpected ending…!

After feeling like a child again and moving your body to your heart’s content, it’s time for the long-awaited camp meal. Enjoy exquisite camp meals prepared by outdoor cooking experts, various meats selected by everyone, and high-quality melons as a reward for the sports day. At the end, Abe sends a message of gratitude to his beloved Nino, saying, “There are more things I want to tell you than what I want to hear,” and the trip concludes with great excitement.
