HiHi Jets’ Mizuki Inoue challenges the 60-second ending of “Downtown DX”! Former HKT48 member Miku Tanaka shows off her amazing hula hoop skills

■After FUJIWARA’s Fujimoto showed off the dance he had practiced during the self-isolation period, HiHi Jets’ Soya Igari couldn’t help but comment, “Were you regretting it?”

Tanaka Miku, HiHi Jets’ Igari Soya and Inoue Mizuki, and others will appear on “Downtown DX” which will air on July 11th.

The July 11th broadcast is titled “Pitching from managers! Give our talents work!” and features talents who are being pushed by their managers to “pitch” themselves in the studio. In addition to Tanaka Miku, HiHi Jets’ Igari Soya and Inoue Mizuki, Kimura Subaru, Kintaro, Dennis, Nakayama Shinobu, FUJIWARA, and Morita Tetsuya (Saraba Seishun no Hikari) will appear as guests and show off their unexpected sides and special skills.

■HiHi Jets Inoue takes on the DX ending 60 second challenge!
HiHi Jets’ manager sends a sales pitch saying, “Our member Inoue Mizuki has an accurate biological clock. Just the other day, Inoue was the only one who kept her ending talk to exactly the allotted two minutes at all 21 stops on the live tour.”

When Morita Tetsuya of Saraba Seishun no Hikari asked, “Let’s say Inoue was put in charge of the DX ending. Can you finish it in exactly one minute?” HiHi Jets Inoue immediately replied, “I think you can.” With Hamada’s cool suggestion, “Then come here!”, HiHi Jets Inoue moved to the MC’s seat and attempted to finish the ending in 60 seconds.

■ Former HKT48 member Tanaka Miku shows off her amazing hula hoop skills! Even Hamada is astonished, saying “No way!?”
Former HKT48 member Tanaka Miku’s manager said, “Our Tanaka is good at hula hoops, and can walk and run while spinning them. On TV, she can even talk while sitting on a chair spinning a hula hoop!” When Hamada asked Tanaka, who was showing off her amazing hula hoop skills in the studio, “Sorry about that, but can you keep going until you say, ‘That’s enough!’ What’s the longest you can do that?” Tanaka replied, “I’ve never measured how many minutes, but I feel like I can keep going for hours.”

■FUJIWARA’s Fujimoto shows off the dance he practiced during self-isolation!
Fujimoto’s manager, Fujiwara, sent a message saying, “Fujimoto has caused a lot of trouble this time. During the five-month self-restraint period, he looked back on himself and practiced a dance that showed him, “Even a 53-year-old man can dance!” I’m very sorry, but I hope that everyone will watch the dance and feel a little bit of the new Fujimon.” When Hamada asked, “Well, you don’t have anything to do during self-restraint, do you?” Fujimoto of Fujiwara replied, “Yes. When I watch idol group dance videos on short videos or TikTok, I dance with great enjoyment.”

When HiHi Jets’ Igari asked, “Were you regretting it?”, FUJIWARA’s Fujimoto replied, “When I have too much time on my hands, I just feel like dancing,” and then they enthusiastically performed the dance to FRUITS ZIPPER’s “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro.”

When Hamada asked, “What did Haranishi do during Fujimon’s self-restraint period?” FUJIWARA’s Haranishi Takayuki laughed and said, “14 hours after my partner announced that he would be suspending his activities, I went on location and caught a tuna in Aomori!” A photo of the 120kg tuna that Haranishi had reeled in was released. FUJIWARA’s Haranishi also spoke excitedly about his gag being featured in a very popular manga.
