◇ Comment from Producer Koichi Urushibara

January 2nd is the day when the excitement of the "ekiden" race reaches its peak, but on the same day, just before the start, we will be bringing you a program with a slightly different kind of excitement. It's a program that will let you enjoy the comfortable excitement of plastic models!

The two couples who will be having a conversation while building plastic models are people with a connection to plastic models. One of them is Yuki Yoda and Tanaka Yoji, who worked on " Ryosangata Riko ." The two are a heartwarming pair to watch as they talk endlessly about everything from plastic models to nostalgic stories about the drama and their private lives.

The other group is Kanata Hongo, who is known to be a fan of plastic models, and Tetsuya and Mushimegane of Tokai On Air, who are friends with Hongo. It was amazing how lively conversations can be between people who share a common hobby. Because they love it, they are not shy, and they talk about plastic models casually and easily, to the point where it feels like they might be left behind at times. They are overflowing with love.

The two groups have completely different ways of enjoying plastic models, but they are both free and fun. It's the kind of time you'll want to try out for yourself during the New Year holidays. Please enjoy!
