The special program "Shoji & Mikity's Peeping Variety: Do You Still Love Me?" (TV Asahi, excluding some regions), hosted by the couple Shoji Tomoharu of the comedy duo "Shinagawa Shoji" and talent Fujimoto Miki, will air from 11:15 pm on December 23rd. The two will witness heartwarming stories of "people who muster the courage to express their feelings to their loved ones," such as Akai Hidekazu and his wife's first date in 30 years and the confession of a university student who wants to tell his best friend that he is gay.
Akai and his wife Yoshiko, who is his manager, have been married for 31 years. In 2022, they received the "Good Couple Partner of the Year" award, but they say that over their long married life, their conversations have decreased dramatically and they have become unable to express their feelings honestly.
The two of them go on their first date in 30 years. Akai, who is clumsy but tries to convey his love, is inspired to fulfill Yoshiko's request to "hold hands at a place that brings back memories." Fujimoto in the studio is moved to tears as she talks about her love for her husband and the struggles she faces every day.
During the show, Shoji prepares a surprise gift for Fujimoto. The love between the Shoji couple is also worth watching.
