This program is a romance variety show for men that looks at the failure stories of men around the world and thinks about what went wrong. Studio guests include Ryuya Miyaze and Kei Mukai (Panther) as male representatives, and Rikka Ihara, Anna Murashige, and Maki Fukuda (3 o’clock heroine) as female representatives, and they will share their opinions on the unique view of love in Reiwa. Bump into each other.

The first project was “LINE Last Message,” a story about women who suddenly stopped receiving replies on LINE. A man invites a woman out to dinner, and even though she replies, “Let’s go!”, he doesn’t hear back from her right after. He invites her out on a fourth date, but he can’t see her as read, etc. Studio members have a heated discussion about what happens when it comes to love on LINE. Women at the studio who watched the video said that even though they intended to be blurry in their messages, they didn’t get the message that it was blurry and the women felt cold towards them. Women also have a negative reaction to “Oi LINE,” which sends messages again after a while even if they haven’t received a reply. In response to Ihara and Murashige’s opinion that they should have waited a little longer, Panther Kei Mukai passionately said, “Do you know why you can’t wait? Because I love you!”

The next project is “Damenshi,” which asks women around the world about the moment their love faded and explores the reality of useless men. Studio members create a reenactment drama from the episode and think about what went wrong. While the studio members were surprised by the story of a woman who had been dumped by a boss who even knelt down to beg her to go out with him, MC Yoshimura strongly sympathized with her boss’s desperate attitude. There are many stories of love failures that all men can relate to.

Interview with Koji Mukai (Snow Man) and Takashi Yoshimura (Heisei Nobushikobushi)
――There were videos of various love failure stories, but what do you think of them when you look back on today’s recording?
MukaiIt was fun! There’s nothing more exciting than peeking into someone’s private life.
YoshimuraIt’s not a place where you can see much. I can show you that. The talk was also lively. There were two projects and there were a lot of them, but how do I edit them (lol)? The VTR is interesting, and the talk is interesting too. I wonder if they could somehow get two (broadcast slots). LINE version and Damenshi version. I think it would be difficult to broadcast it all at once.

— Regarding blurring on LINE, Panther Mukai-san said it was “dangerous,” but Yoshimura-san says it’s blurry.
YoshimuraI’ll do it, I’ll totally do it. I’m nervous after all, so I think it would be better to play around with it, and to see the reaction, I’ll add (blur). I want to know if the other person likes me. Something like, “Next time we meet, I don’t know, but maybe we can hold hands.”
MukaiI also want to include it quite a bit. Half joking, half sincere. I think it would be better for people to understand that boke is really boke.
YoshimuraIt’s not good if it’s half-baked, where it’s hard to tell whether it’s blurry or not. The same was true of the women’s opinions.
MukaiI think it’s better to shake it off if you’re going to do it.

――Are there any people who left an impression on you in the last LINE message?
YoshimuraI’m an 18 year old male high school student. I don’t know why I didn’t get a reply to that.
MukaiIt felt good, but it suddenly ended. Young people get hot and cold easily, don’t they? The other one is the guy from the matching app. We exchanged Instagrams to see each other’s faces…
YoshimuraWell, I have to protect him somehow…

――Was there any advice you received from the female guests at the studio that you found useful?
YoshimuraThere are three people. Fukuda’s perspective was that of a female comedian, and Ihara’s perspective was classic, or rather modern. Mr. Murashige said he was talking about the area around Minato Ward (lol).

–The common opinion among the female guests was that it’s better to be rough and not heavy.
YoshimuraIt would be impossible for a man. When I’m in a pinch, I force myself to hit LINE.
MukaiI want a quick reply.
YoshimuraBut if you watch this, you might change your mind a little bit. It’s okay like this.
MukaiI mean, it’s a more casual LINE.

–In a sense, I think the VTRs of “Damensi” show a man who dresses up too much with whiskey, a boss who confesses to a female employee while kneeling down on the ground, and so on. Were there any parts that you sympathized with?
YoshimuraI can’t tell you how many times I’ve prostrated! Dogeza is the best way to express your feelings! Like.
MukaiIs that a standard?
YoshimuraAt that time. That was the era. What kind of people are increasing? People of the current generation.
MukaiI understand that you can dress up with whiskey. There may be many children like that.
YoshimuraHowever, the idol world is not a place where such people gather. This is not the place to decide who will be at the top. So if you make a mistake, you’ll end up like that.
MukaiI may be doing something like that in my private life.
YoshimuraWe happened to be in the sauna together the other day. From a distance, it looked like how you take a shower (looking up).
MukaiIt’s not a commercial. The members say that the private one is the second one.
YoshimuraA handsome man is appearing. People who dress too well look like they’re still children, which is cute. In the future, you will learn many things as you grow up, but some people will continue as they are, while others will change. There are people in the entertainment industry who dress too well.
MukaiNext, let’s talk about the “bad guys” among celebrities.

–Finally, please tell us the highlights.
MukaiI think this program was created to appeal to the feelings of men around the world, so I hope they will watch it and empathize with it. I think it will be educational, so I hope you will watch it.
YoshimuraWell, it was really interesting, and since men don’t have the opportunity to study this kind of thing, I hope you’ll learn a little bit about it. The talk was really exciting… The highlight was when Panther Mukai fell off his chair at the peak of the excitement. I’ve never seen anything like that. I think that’s amazing.
MukaiI think women will also enjoy watching it. I understand how men feel.
YoshimuraI want people to feel that he’s stupid, or that he’s a little childish.
