Actor Koichi Iwaki will be a guest on the talk variety show "Downtown DX" (Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV), which will air on May 8th from 10pm, and will be "complaining" about fellow guest, Ryuhei Maruyama of the popular group "SUPER EIGHT".
"When I worked with Ryuhei Maruyama on my previous job, he invited me to go for a drink," Iwaki said. They exchanged contact information, but he got angry and said, "I got a voicemail from Maruyama once, and then I called him four times. This guy doesn't answer his phone!"
Maruyama reflected, "It's completely my fault. I was thinking of a TV-like response, but I couldn't find one." He then tried to invite her out for drinks again, saying, "Can I have one more chance?"
On this day, Akira Kawashima from Kirin will be the MC for Downtown. Guests include enka singer Keisuke Yamauchi, talent Nao Asahi, and idol group Cho Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu's Nika Sakai and Hiyori Yoshikawa.
