"Sandwichman & Mana Ashida's Hakase-chan " (TV Asahi, Saturday 6:56 pm) is a program in which children with knowledge and talents that rival those of adults give funny lessons as " Hakase-chan " (teachers). On June 27th, a two-hour special will be aired, focusing on three groups of Hakase-chan : "The Traffic Light Brothers," "The Watch Repair Hakase-chan," and "The Delicious Weed Hakase-chan ."
This is the second time that "Delicious Weed Hakase-chan" Kira Morikami has appeared on the show. She is a high school senior who loves weeds and is always looking for ways to make them taste delicious. She first appeared on the show in October last year and became a hot topic. This time, she will be announcing the second installment of "The Top 10 Super Delicious Weeds Ranking" as selected by Morikami.
According to Morikami, compared to the last time the show was broadcast in autumn, summer is the best season for weeds. In the studio, the MCs try the weeds recommended by Morikami, and Mana Ashida gets very excited, saying, "It's so delicious! I want to eat soba noodles with this." In addition, Sandwichman and Ashida search for "super delicious weeds" growing on the rooftop of TV Asahi (Minato Ward, Tokyo).
Three brothers, Riku Okamoto, Sora, and Kai, who love traffic lights and are known as "traffic light Hakase-chan," head to Shizuoka Prefecture. About 60% of traffic lights in Shizuoka Prefecture have been converted to LED, and there are still many old traffic lights remaining compared to other parts of the country, so they are looking for "super rare retro traffic lights."
Obata Kouki, also known as "Watch Repair Hakase-chan," is a third-year junior high school student who not only collects retro watches, but also repairs broken watches. The program has followed Obata on watch repairs three times so far, and with each broadcast, he is inundated with repair requests from viewers, with the number of requests currently exceeding 350. This time, he travels to Showa Village, Fukushima Prefecture, to respond to one of the requests he has received. He answers a request to repair a precious watch that has been passed down through three generations of parents and children for over half a century.
