On March 31st, TV Asahi announcer Tsumugi Mitani appeared as the host at a press conference for the new weekday late-night variety show "Barabara Daisakusen" (Monday to Thursday 1:58 a.m., Friday 2:26 a.m.), held at the company's headquarters in Minato Ward, Tokyo.
Mitani is currently appearing on the show "Hikkari Nietzsche" (Wednesdays at 1:56 am) which is being broadcast in the same time slot. The show was previously broadcast with comedian Nagano and comedian Kuruma Takahira of the comedy duo "Reiwa Romance" as a trio called "Nagano & Kuruma's Hikkari Nietzsche", but due to Kuruma's indefinite suspension, it is now just Nagano and Kuruma.
During the press conference, when the topic of "Secret Plans for the New Show" came up, Minamikawa, a solo comedian who will be appearing on "Izawa Minamikawa's Quiz-less World" (Monday night at 2:36), answered, "One of them won't disappear." He said, "When you say Operation Bara Bara, it's well-known that one of them will disappear... It won't be like a car. Izawa (Takushi) and I will do our best responsibly," to which Mitani replied with a wry smile, "Yes... that's quite an edgy answer."
Also appearing at the press conference were Yusuke and Atsuhisa Tsuda from the comedy duo Diane, Chihiro Kondo, and the idol group FRUITS ZIPPER.
