"Saya and Takeru's Prejudice and Statistics" (TV Asahi, Wednesdays at 2:55 a.m.) is a variety show hosted by Saya from the comedy duo "Laland" and Takeru from "Tokyo Hoteison," in which they conduct statistical surveys to examine the "prejudices" that abound in our daily lives.
In the final episode, broadcast on January 21st, sauna enthusiast Takeru stated his opinion that "people who own a lot of sauna hats are business sauna-goers." You can enter the sauna without a sauna hat, and one should be enough. However, he argued that people who own multiple sauna hats are "business sauna-goers" who use the sauna for "titles" or "showing off" rather than as a hobby.
The program defines a "business sauna user" as someone who meets two criteria: "four years or less of sauna experience" and "eight visits per month or less, as recommended by the Japan Sauna and Spa Association." Celebrities who list "sauna" in the hobby section of their profile are invited to the studio, where they are asked to bring in their sauna hats, and the number of sauna hats they own is counted. Questions about sauna experience and frequency of visits are also asked, exploring the correlation between the number of sauna hats and the number of visits.
The show featured three guests: Morohoshi, a comedian who loves saunas; Ishigaki Karen, who serves as a reporter for the sauna program; and gravure idol Mana.
