■Legendary top idol Masahiko Kondo appears for the first time in DX! Talk about hard work
When asked about his physically demanding work, Masahiko Kondo told a story about the time he suffered a compound fracture in his arm at the opening of a concert. Although he complained of a broken bone from the wings of the stage, the manager told him, “…it’s not broken!” and he brought him back to the stage. When he said that, there were surprised voices from the studio.
Afterwards, she was taken to an ambulance, but the manager who came to the hospital told her, “What should we do? The fans are still waiting for her,” so she went back and sang on stage for an hour and a half, which is a shocking story. He also said that he was filming a movie at the same time, and something unexpected was prepared for Kondo, who suffered a compound fracture. What is that thing…!?
■Match asks current idols! “Is it okay to stay in a group?” Kiss My Toshiya Miyata and Ae! group Ken Kojima…!?
When Hamada asked, “Is there anything Match would like to ask the younger generation of idols?”, Kondo replied, “No matter where you watch TV, idols are all groups now, aren’t they?It’s important to be part of a group.” “Do you want to become independent as soon as possible? I want to hear the truth,” he asks pointedly.
Kis-My-Ft2 Miyata said, “It’s strange, but I feel like I’m free now. Anyone who wants to appear can do so. However, the fact that I’m staying means that I want to do it as a group. I think so. I enjoy being with the members!” Ae! group Kojima similarly talks about his love for the group, saying, “I also enjoy being in a group.We were even sending photos to each other before the recording started today.”
■Ae! group Ken Kojima was informed about his debut half a year ago, but it was hard for him to talk about it…!?
When a video of Ae! group announcing their CD debut to fans at Kyocera Dome was introduced, Hamada asked, “How long did you know you were going to debut?” Ae! group Kojima said, “I’ve known about it for half a year, but since I’m going to announce it at a concert at Kyocera Dome, I shouldn’t let it slide.However, I’m extremely easy-going…” looking back on those days.
■The hardships of idol groups! Ae! group Kojima gives advice to Hinatazaka46 Kumi Sasaki & Suzuka Tomita, former AKB48 Yuki Kashiwagi!?
Hinatazaka46’s Kumi Sasaki and Suzuka Tomita say they have a lot to remember about singing, choreography, and standing positions. Hamada asked, “Are the standing positions decided in detail?” Hinatazaka46 leader Sasaki replied, “Since there are a lot of people, the members are spread out at the venue.In Hanamichi, there are standing positions up to about 40. So, each person has a fixed number, such as 28.75, and in this song, 12.25,” he explains.
When Hamada asked, “Are you saying that AKB is free to do whatever you want?”, former AKB48 member Kashiwagi replied, “No, that’s not true! AKB performs live with up to 200 people, so we have numbers like 32.1. “There are numbers assigned every 90cm, so 32.1 means standing at 9cm. What are you saying?” he complained. Hamada then asked, “What about Kojima, where do you stand?” and Ae! group Kojima revealed the techniques he uses.
■Yui Asaka is putting on a lot of weight as a sukeban detective! The studio bursts into laughter at one of the most famous scenes of the legendary perverted detective
Yui Asaka played the lead role in the popular drama “Sukeban Keiji”. In the scene in which he ate real moss to stave off hunger, a video shows him eating real moss, causing an uproar in the studio. Asaka said, “Basically, when it comes to action, I do it myself.Even if the director asks me, there’s nothing I can’t do.So with Koke, the director asked me, “Can you eat it?” and I decided to do it myself. “I’ve eaten it many times since rehearsals, and I’ve learned that blue moss is less bitter than black moss,” he says, looking back on the filming process.
Also, Teruyuki Tsuchida was asked about the most memorable scene in Sukeban Detective, and he passionately talked about the shocking scene in the movie version. When the actual footage was played, the studio burst into laughter.
■Hiroko Moriguchi talks! The studio is amazed by the location that is unimaginable now.
Hiroko Moriguchi, a representative of the original balladol, talks about filming on location at the time. When I told him that at that time there was a filming location where I sneaked into the men’s bath and bathed an old man’s back, the studio was shocked. Porori also reveals the behind the scenes of the promised swimming competition. What is the content that is unimaginable now…!?
■Over 200 million views! Hamada and Match can’t help but be impressed by Panda Dragon’s amazing fans
A close look at Panda Dragon’s TikTok photo session where 700 fans gathered. A video of each member surrounding each fan and taking a 15-second TikTok video will be released. Seeing the generous fan service, Hamada was shocked and said, “Seriously! You’re lying!” Kondo also cheered, “Please go to the Dome!”
