Kento Nagao (Naniwa Danshi) & Kota Yabu (Hey! Say! JUMP) reappear in "Pre-Battle" with vague feelings in their hearts (lol)

■Kento Nagao, who wants , will take on the first challenge of “Stone Art”, and Kota Yabu will participate in the “Haiku” talent ranking as 5 inferior students try to get rid of their stigma (lol)!

“Prebat” (MBS/TBS) broadcast on October 17th is a talent ranking of “stone art” and “haiku”.

The “Stone Art” project was completed by a group of first-timers, and the outcome was determined by the selection of stones and creativity. “Haiku” is a story about five underachievers who in the past took the three-point set of , , and <15 points or less> to try to get rid of their stigma. Who will read the incredible masterpiece and miraculously score over 50 points to earn the ?

■“Stone Art”
The four people taking on the “Stone Art” talent ranking are the first to challenge the genre. Masaru Kasamatsu, who has baffled the instructors with his overly quirky art sense, Rie Mochizuki, who wants to relive the joy of being promoted to “Toast Art” scholarship student two years ago, and #2 talent in “Colored Pencils” Kento Nagao (Naniwa Danshi), who won the “Talent” because the studio’s reaction was unsatisfactory, and Wada Manju (Nelson’s), who is currently on a diet, is his “favorite food” that he has not eaten for three months. He is enthusiastic about expressing his passionate feelings for “with stones.”

Each of us approached the assessment with great enthusiasm. While some challengers are criticized for being unreasonable in their selection of stones, there are others who are highly praised for their “very good artistic sense” and have the talent to win the award! Kaoru Mitsumune, a 3rd grade scholarship student, is attempting his second promotion exam. Mitsumune has left many legends behind in other art appraisals, but this time he seemed to have a hard time, saying, “I had a difficult time choosing the stone…” What are the assessment results you’re curious about…!?

■”Haiku”
The “Haiku” talent ranking consisted of five people who had been evaluated as , , and <15 points or less> in the past. Masaru Kasamatsu, Rie Mochizuki, Kota Yabu (Hey! Say! JUMP) scored 10 points, former NHK announcer Yuko Aoyama scored 15 points, and Nishida (Lalande) scored the lowest score in 2022, 5 points. A lot… The students, who have vivid memories of being scolded by Professor Itsuki Natsui, study hard and take on the ironic “100 point perfect” topic. As a result, a masterpiece was born that Natsui-sensei was very happy with, saying, “You’re really motivated!”

After being promoted to a scholarship student, Kogaken, a 3rd grade scholarship student, is in good shape and has been rising in rank twice in a row, challenging the promotion exam. The winner will be Tomio Umezawa, a special eternal master who also had a disappointing result in the fall title match against Kinshu. Will they be able to end this episode with a gathering of former “Irregulars” with a 100-point haiku?
