The Nippon Television variety show "Guru Guru Ninety-Nine" (Thursdays at 8pm) will be broadcast on December 12th. The popular corner "Gourmet Chicken Race Gochi ni Narimasu! (Gochi Battle)" has just two rounds left. It was announced that up to three people could be fired in the last round, and Shintaro Moriyama of "Mittorizu", who was in last place, announces a secret plan.
Yasuko, currently in fifth place, is in a resigned mood, saying, "Let's take a photo of our memories." Takashi Okamura, in fourth place, asks, "What will you do if I get fired?", and Takahisa Masuda of "NEWS," who is in first place, calmly says, "When that happens, we'll do 'Guru Guru Massuu'."
The guest was actor Kenichi Matsuyama. He said, "Usually I eat rice and natto. That's all I need," and said with a wry smile, "My stomach will be shocked" as he participated in his first Gochi, where he will be enjoying luxurious gourmet food.
And for the first time in a year, the Gochi Band made a comeback. Yasuko-san joined on piano and Fumiya Takahashi joined on tambourine, and they enthusiastically sang Aimyon-san's "Marigold."
The Gochi Battle on this day was at the Italian restaurant "Le Pristine Tokyo" (Minato Ward, Tokyo), aiming for a set amount of 30,000 yen.
