A two-hour special of the Nippon Television variety show "Guruguru Ninety-Nine" will be broadcast on January 15th at 7pm. The popular corner "Gourmet Chicken Race Gochi ni Narimasu!" (Gochi Battle) will have its new series "Gochi 27" starting on the same day. Two new members, "men and women with excellent athletic ability," have been announced.
The first member, wearing a tiger mask, suddenly appeared from behind the remaining Gochi members as they were undergoing purification at a shrine. Everyone focused on her eyes visible through the mask, and VIP challenger Degawa Tetsuro commented, "They're so clear and beautiful," and everyone agreed. Sitting next to her, Mai Shiraishi Mai peered into her face, but was troubled, saying, "It's surprisingly hard to tell (even from this close)." The new member is known for his athletic ability, and showed off his special skill, "hopping rope skipping." Furthermore, he peppered the conversation with little jokes, gradually revealing his personality.
The second new member appeared during the customary live report by announcer Iwata Erina. As Iwata was showing off her latest impersonation for the first time in the new year, the new member suddenly walked onto the stage. Her dignified gait and clear eyes revealed that she was quite beautiful. During the question time, she gave hints such as "short in height" and "single." In a video about her food history, it was revealed that she has been popular since her school days and that her favorite school lunch is "fried bread." She also appeared in a toss batting competition, showing off her athletic ability with an unexpected full swing.
The program describes the first member as "a very handsome man" who is "either an actor, a voice actor, or an idol," while the second member is "a beautiful woman who is in high demand for dramas and commercials."
In addition, in the special broadcast at the end of last year, actors Fuka Koshiba, Fumiya Takahashi, and Ninety-Nine's Hiroyuki Yabe were fired.
