Hiroki Kusano, a former member of the popular group "NEWS," will appear on Abema's variety show "Love Hyena Season 4" (Tuesdays at 11 p.m.) on August 19th.

On this day, Kusano and comedian Nishino Hajime from the comedy duo "Korokoro Chiki Chiki Peppers" will be covering the Muscle Bar, a popular bar where muscular staff serve customers and perform. Kusano appeared nervously, saying, "It's been 20 years since I last appeared in front of the camera. I'm not sure what character I'll play."

The two head to Maccho Maccho Shinjuku, a muscle bar that opened in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2024. They meet staff members who boast Japan's top bodybuilding competition record and former Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department employees.

The unique feature of this store is that customers receive Macho Money (tips) by performing push-ups in front of them. Kusano and Nishino are also trying their hand at serving customers as store clerks, with the goal of "earning more than 200 Macho Money."

While Nishino has been the subject of much discussion for his "body transformation," Kusano seems unsure, saying, "I haven't trained at all," but he puts in effort with a humorous conversation, saying, "The muscles I'm good at are my facial muscles."

The program will also air the final episode of "Twins Love," a romance project in which twin sisters simultaneously search for love.
