It has been revealed that the variety show "Kyokorohee" (TV Asahi, Monday midnight 12:15), hosted by actress Kyoko Saito and comedian Hikorohee, will be collaborating with Sanrio's popular characters My Melody and Kuromi.
The collaboration will take place at the TV Asahi Dream Festival 2025, a live event hosted by TV Asahi, which will be held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 4-6 (Mihama Ward, Chiba City) from November 1st to 3rd. As the opening act on the first day, Saito and Hikorohee will perform a "special stage" with My Melody and Kuromi.
Filming for "Kyokorohee" took place at Sanrio Puroland (Tama City, Tokyo), and it was exciting to see that the naturally cute My Melody and Saito, as well as the big sister-like Kuromi and Hikorohee, have something in common, leading to the collaboration. A key visual has also been released for the collaboration. It is a cute visual in which Saito and Hikorohee jump into the world of My Melody and Kuromi.
Saito commented with joy, "I've loved Sanrio characters since I was little and often went to Sanrio Puroland, so it feels like a dream to be able to enter that world." Regarding the collaboration visuals, she said, "My Melody and Kuromi were in the same place we usually are in the Kyokorohee set, and I was thrilled that My Melody and my outfits were linked!"
Hikorohee said, "I'm so happy, it's cute, it's embarrassing but cute," and expressed her expectations for the collaboration stage on November 1st, saying, "I'm looking forward to it, it's embarrassing but I'm looking forward to it."
