Kazunari Ninomiya, Fuma Kikuchi, “Nino-san” family & Kotaro Koizumi at “Honestly honest year-end party”

■Kazunari Ninomiya and Fuma Kikuchi look back on a turbulent year!

“Nino-san” is MCed by Kazunari Ninomiya. On December 20th, there will be a Christmas and year-end party special with Kotaro Koizumi, Ken Sato, and Sadao Abe.

Ninomiya, Fuma Kikuchi, Takashi Yoshimura, and Gambareruya reunited at the Koizumi family’s favorite Chinese bar for the year-end party held during the year-end and New Year holidays with Kotaro Koizumi. This year as well, “Kotaro’s Quotes” are popping up one after another, making it a huge hit.

A year has passed and Kotaro Koizumi, the too-honest love psychopath familiar from “Nino-san,” has become more and more complicated. Unconventional episodes about work, love, and his hobby of golf are revealed one after another.

Furthermore, Koizumi and the “Nino-san” family’s “2025 Fortune Ranking” will be announced. “Nino-san Year-end Party” is a must-see this year as it is full of laughter.

■The year 2024 will also be “Oyaji’s Soda Wari”! To be honest, year-end party begins
The venue is a familiar Chinese restaurant that the Koizumi family frequents. Kotaro Koizumi, who also appeared at this year’s New Year’s party, will actually be the first and last guest on “Nino-san” in 2024. Thanks to Koizumi’s kindness, “Please feel free to drink from my father’s bottle,” I once again borrowed my father’s bottle, Junichiro Koizumi.

Then, Yoshimura, who was attending the event for the first time, looked at the former Prime Minister’s bottle and said with great emotion, “Wow! That’s the Prime Minister when I came to Tokyo!” He excitedly talks about his memories of 25 years ago, when he happened to run into Junichiro on the street shortly after he moved to Tokyo from Hokkaido.

Ignoring Yoshimura, Ninomiya made the customary call, “Okay, let’s have some soda from Oyaji.” Koizumi then revealed, “I was happy when I saw the last episode of “Nino-san,” and I felt good about this happy information. Now that things are all right, it’s time to start the “honestly honest year-end party”!

■The “Nino-san” family looks back on their own 2024!
Before listening to Koizumi’s story, we looked back on the past year for the “Nino-san” family. Ninomiya playfully says, “I’m thankful that I get to work with you,” but Koizumi, who co-starred with Ninomiya in the drama, says, “I think summer was really tough. “I’ve been working with him, and even in between, he’s starring in other works. It’s amazing because he doesn’t show it,” he said, admiring Ninomiya’s vitality.

After hearing this, Ninomiya looked back on the past year and surprised everyone by revealing, “I did five shows in the summer.In the end, I was acting all the time from March to the end of December.”

On the other hand, Fuma Kikuchi and Gambareruya co-starred for the first time this year in a drama starring Kikuchi. Mahiru praised Kikuchi, saying, “It was amazing. He was like a different person from the variety show. He was leading the way as the main character.” Yoshiko said, “There were all kinds of people in the front room, and Fuma-kun was really spinning.” There is also a scene where Kikuchi panics after being exposed.

Kikuchi has had a busy year this year, not only singing and drama, but also auditioning for new members of the group. “This time last year, we hadn’t even announced that any of the members would be leaving. Auditions started this year, and it was pretty hectic. This was also the year that the group’s name (timelesz) was decided,” he says, looking back on a turbulent year. Yoshiko burst into tears after watching the timelesz audition video…

“I never thought Fuma Kikuchi would make me cry,” he said, reenacting the famous scene from the audition, and everyone burst into laughter.

■Kotaro Koizumi’s variety show appearances are rapidly increasing! What is the reason?
Koizumi’s appearances on variety shows have increased dramatically this year. “A lot has changed for me. It was the first year that I filled out my schedule for a year by doing variety shows and travel shows.It was the year I made a shift change,” he confessed.

According to program research, in addition to filming dramas, he has appeared on over 270 programs through November, including MC special programs, title programs, and guest appearances. He was surprised by the number and said, “If I listen to it too much, I might get sick. I worked that hard…”

Moreover, in May, he went to Australia with Ninomiya just to promote the drama, and in September, he went to Hawaii to film a variety show. During that location shoot, a slender woman wearing sunglasses and a hat approached me and said, “Do you understand? “To be honest, I thought it was a woman I had a relationship with in the past…”, he said, wondering who the beautiful woman was who took off her sunglasses in front of the excited Koizumi, and all the members were wondering about the mysterious beauty intrusion incident. It’s very exciting.

In addition, Koizumi, who has a busy work schedule, candidly talks about why he never refuses to appear on variety shows no matter how busy he is, and how he prepares for variety shows.

■I’m going to give it my all to my favorite golf this year! On the other hand, are there any changes in friendships?
Koizumi loves golf so much that he has his own TV show. Despite his busy schedule, he says he never misses playing golf.

“Even if I don’t have a day off, I’ll play golf early in the morning, even if it’s just for a half-time.In the summer, I’ll play a round at 4am and finish by 8am.After that, I’ll go shooting or go to the studio.”

Kotaro’s love for golf explodes at the year-end party. Koizumi’s golf talk is a series of hilarious and bizarre episodes that his family can’t help but say, “I can see why he keeps getting offers for variety shows” and “It’s like a musical movie.”

Furthermore, Ninomiya directly addresses the question he wanted to ask Koizumi. “Can I ask you something? In the past year, I’ve been thinking, ‘Huh? Wait, what? “There was an incident that made me think…” What was the change in Koizumi that Ninomiya was concerned about?

■Love psychopath!? Kotaro’s frank talk keeps accelerating
At this year’s New Year’s party, Koizumi made a big impact on the public by talking about his very unique views on love, saying things like, “I don’t go shopping with women” and “I’ve gone to the movie theater with women and left in the middle many times.” They kept talking bluntly, as if they had finally opened up again. This time as well, if you had a girlfriend now, what kind of love would you have? I’ll be honest about it.

Also, Koizumi, who has a crazy view of love but still wants to get married, says, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m 1X or 2X at all.Even if I have a child, I don’t have to be called daddy.I have no particular preference at all.” Who is Koizumi’s ideal marriage partner?

■What will be the fortune of Koizumi & “Nino-san” family in 2025?
What kind of year will 2025 be? A fortune teller who is famous in Osaka for winning the fortune thoroughly explains Koizumi’s fortune in 2025.

Koizumi’s tarot reading at this year’s New Year’s party said that she would get married in 2027, but will it become more realistic or will she get a different result? Furthermore, the fortune of the “Nino-san” family in 2025 will be announced in a ranking format.

Don’t miss the “Honestly Honest Year-end Party” with Koizumi, which was a huge hit with a series of unbelievable episodes and made you laugh out loud.
