The variety show "Nogizaka Under Construction" (TV Tokyo, Sunday midnight 12:15), starring the idol group Nogizaka46, was broadcast late at night on May 18th, and featured the "6th Generation Sports Queen No. 1 Competition Part 1," which tested the athletic ability of the new 6th generation members.
This project has become a regular event whenever a new member joins the group. In the first part that aired on this day, it was Mirine Masuda who caused a stir in the studio, including the MC comedy duo "Bananaman".
In the 50-meter dash, he set a new record for the lowest time in the group's history with a time of 12.55 seconds. In the handball throw, he threw the ball straight up into the air, resulting in the lowest record of 2.90 meters, demonstrating his unprecedented clumsiness.
After watching the video, Shitara Osamu commented, "Masuda is amazing, he's so funny! Please go on to 'Ame Talk!'" and praised him, saying he thought he had the potential to succeed in variety shows on another network (TV Asahi) known for being a "poorly kinetic comedian."
Masuda is 15 years old, born on November 1, 2009. She is from Osaka Prefecture. She passed the audition held last year and joined the group as a 6th generation member in February of this year.
