The special program "Sohshina, Honda Tsubasa and the Believers" (TV Asahi, excluding some regions), hosted by the comedy duo "Shimofuri Myojo"'s Sohshina and model and actor Honda Tsubasa, will be broadcast from 11:15 pm on December 25th. Sohshina and Honda, who are the same age and have worked together in a drama, will be taking on their first show together.
The show features several "devotees" - passionate fans of a certain genre - appearing in the studio and talking passionately to the two MCs about their love for their "oshi". First up are the passionate fans of singer-songwriter Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi. They say they are simply "wanting to be like Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi" and are subjecting themselves to hard training, with some even going to the same gym as Nagabuchi. They also give a lecture on how to enjoy Nagabuchi's live shows.
Next, a fan of the popular manga "The Prince of Tennis," known by the abbreviation "Tenipuri," appeared. He introduced some of the most bizarre techniques that appear in the manga, which are hard to believe are tennis, and the two MCs burst into laughter. In addition, a "big-name celebrity" who calls himself a Tenipuri fan also appeared.
After finishing the recording, Honda reflected, "It was very interesting to see how the passion of Nagabuchi's fans and the passion of Prince of Tennis fans were different!" Soshina said, "The passion of the fans was incredible. I'd like to see more variations on this."
