■”I don’t often get to talk like this with my seniors, so I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to have this opportunity.” (Yuto Nakajima)
The talk variety show “Gutan Nouveau² Special”, in which Kyoko Hasegawa, Minami Tanaka, Nanase Nishino, and Shinnosuke Mitsushima serve as MCs, will be broadcast on Kantele/Fuji TV from 10:30 pm on January 13th.
This time, we have two location shoots of a male Gutan performed by MC Shinnosuke Mitsushima, Yuzuru Kawai (Einstein), and Yuto Nakajima (Hey! Say! JUMP), and a female Gutan performed by MC Minami Tanaka, Rino Sashihara, and SAKURA (LE SSERAFIM). Delivery.
Unlike regular program recordings, which are conducted under the watchful eye of the staff, they talk a lot about their work and lifestyles in a private environment with only cameras present. In the studio, guests Tatsuya Shichigosankake (Travis Japan) and Maki Fukuda (3 o’clock heroine) watch the location VTR with the MCs.
In addition, it has been decided that “Gutan Nouveau²”, which started as “New Gutan” in 2019, will end its 6-year history with this broadcast.
MC Shinnosuke Mitsushima x Yuzuru Kawai (Einstein) x Yuto Nakajima (Hey! Say! JUMP)
Nakajima, who debuted as the group’s center at a young age, talks about his unknown struggles at the time, including the experience of being replaced as the center and feeling inferior to the other members.
On the other hand, everyone burst into laughter at Kawai’s unexpected actions in preparation for his first Gutan appearance. Furthermore, Mitsushima digs deeper into the ideal women of the two. Please look forward to Gu Tan, a man who passionately talked about everything from work and life to the ideal love life envisioned by single men.
■Location impressions comments
When we asked everyone what they thought after the recording, Mitsushima said, “The highlight in my opinion was the tension at the beginning, like a death game between the two of them waiting at the store.It felt like they were sitting there for their lives (lol) ),” he said, looking back at the familiar seat selection scene where people arrive at the restaurant and sit in the seat of their choice.He also confessed, “I was so excited for (Nakajima) on the way! I couldn’t take my eyes off of him!”, to which Kawai replied, “There were times when he couldn’t make eye contact with me at all (lol)”, and everyone was excited. LOL.
Continuing, regarding Nakajima, Kawai revealed, “I think even JUMP fans will say, “There’s this side of him.”” In response to that comment, Nakajima said, “I realized that maybe I had grown up too much, in both good and bad ways.It’s not often I get to talk like this with my seniors, so I thought it was a wonderful opportunity.” I think so,” he said.
MC Minami Tanaka x Rino Sashihara x SAKURA (LE SSERAFIM)
This is the first time for LE SSERAFIM member SAKURA to appear alone on a Japanese talk show. Furthermore, it will be the first time for her to co-star with her senior colleague Sashihara, who used to be in the same group and are good friends even in their private lives. SAKURA, who only Sashihara knows, will say things like “drinking by the river” and “looks like she just came out of Twitter.” One surprising side of the story is revealed one after another.
Also, SAKURA introduces Tanaka to recommended sweets in Korea, but it doesn’t seem to resonate with Tanaka… A must-see is the playful girl talk full of real faces.
■Location impressions comments
Even after filming, the three of them seemed to be having fun together. SAKURA said with a smile, “It was a great honor to meet you both today, and it was a lot of fun.” Sashihara, who has been in contact with SAKURA and Tanaka for some time, said, “I’m more than happy because I never thought I’d be able to talk to these three, and I’m also happy that it was the first time I’ve seen SAKURA happily talking to someone other than the members.” “It’s true,” he commented with deep emotion.Tanaka said “Kippoyo” (기뻐요/Japanese translation: “I’m happy”) in the Korean language he learned from SAKURA, and concluded with a big smile, “It was really fun.”
