The third evening special of the weekday morning information program "Hatori Shinichi Morning Show" (TV Asahi), hosted by freelance announcer Hatori Shinichi, will be broadcast from 6:30 pm to 9:54 pm on December 25th, except in some areas. Familiar members such as Nagashima Kazushige, Ishihara Yoshizumi, and Tamagawa Toru will gather to give a "big summary" of this year's news.
In a segment looking back on the outstanding performance of Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball, the show also looks back on the free-spirited commentary given by Nagashima, Ishihara, and Tamagawa on the show during the season.
Nagashima and Tamagawa were worried about Ohtani hitting the 50th wall as he approached the feat of hitting 50-50, but their "tiny guesses" turned out to be way off. Looking back at the video, Kazushige complained, "Tamagawa always talks about numbers, so I started to think I had to follow suit and put out some numbers. I'm starting to be influenced by that strange thing," to which Tamagawa replied, "Don't blame me!", sparking a "skirmish."
The program will also feature location shooting unique to the show. Teruhide, an actor who was the runner-up in the men's javelin throw at the National Athletic Meet at the Paris Olympics, commented on the achievements of female javelin thrower Haruka Kitaguchi, which became a hot topic, but this time Teruhide will attempt to match the 65.80 meters that Kitaguchi recorded at the Paris Olympics. In addition, in response to the news that the market price of gold has reached an all-time high, Nagashima will head to one of Japan's largest gold product galleries in Ginza, Tokyo.
After the recording, MC Hatori commented, "It was fun. This is the only time that free-spirited people like Kazushige, Yoshizumi, and Tamagawa can all get together, so when the three of them get together, it really feels like they're all so funny. It was great." Meanwhile, it seems the three got it all out during the recording, as in response to Hatori's question, "Is there anything you still want to say to each other?" they replied with a refreshed look, "I'm already full," and "Nothing in particular." Hatori then immediately pointed out, "I have so much. That's why I can't speak!", pointing out the three who would soon start fighting during the recording.
Finally, Hatori appealed, "I'll say it again, it's fun when all three of these old guys get together. Each of them is a pain, but when they get together it's even more powerful, which shows how troublesome this show is...But I hope everyone will enjoy it this Christmas and see just how funny that pain is."
Commentators include Yuko Ogura, Reiko Takashima, Akira Hokuto, and the comedy duo Nishikigoi. Special guests include Akari Fujinami, the gold medalist in the women's 53kg wrestling category at the Paris Olympics, and Ryota Igarashi, a former professional baseball player who also played in the major leagues.
