TV Tokyo's popular information variety show "Appear! Ad Street Heaven" (Saturdays at 9pm) is teaming up with Keio Corporation in October to feature towns along the Keio Line and Inokashira Line over four weeks. The October 4th broadcast will feature Chitose-Karasuyama Station (Setagaya Ward, Tokyo).
Chitose Karasuyama is the first town in Japan to introduce shopping street stamps. The program will feature the shopping street's specialties, including exquisite croquettes that are fried 400 times a day, the "pudding bread" specialty of a stylish Showa-era bakery, vegetable tempura soaked in broth, the town's sushi that has been loved for 60 years, a direct sale store selling freshly caught vegetables and Araucana eggs at bargain prices, and a stylish yakitori and Kobe gyoza restaurant in the drinking district.
In addition, the program will broadcast secret footage of popular comedians in their younger days, taken from archive footage from the past 30 years.
The guests are actors Suzuki Sawa and Watanabe Gota.
The Keio Electric Railway series from next week will feature "Mogusaen Station" (October 11th), "Chofu Station" (18th), and "Delicious Inokashira Line" (25th). The episode on the 18th will be the first public recording of the show in Chofu, and will involve the audience in a talk about the charms of the city.
