Actress Asuka Saito's solo show, "Asuka Saito 's Let's Drink and Go Home Tonight Season 2" (Fridays at 12:30 AM), will begin airing on Nippon Television on May 22nd. This is the second installment of the show, which aired for four consecutive weeks in the summer of 2025. This season will also air for four consecutive weeks, and the first guest will be singer-songwriter Rira Ikuta, whom Saito says she "has always wanted to meet!"
◇Drinking outdoors at a fishing pond!
Ikuta, who said it was her first time drinking on TV, immediately toasted with him in the car. They chatted about their impressions of each other and enjoyed taking selfies together with Ikuta's own film camera. Since they both love fashion, they made a detour to a vintage clothing store with a retro atmosphere. They enjoyed shopping like sisters, sifting through the huge selection of vintage clothes. Afterwards, the two went to a fishing pond. They toasted with drinks while casting their fishing lines outside.
Last summer's Season 1 garnered attention when Mai Shiraishi, a first-generation member of the idol group Nogizaka46 who helped shape the era, appeared as the guest for the first episode. For Season 2, Ikuta will be the guest for the first two weeks, and the guests for the third week and beyond will be announced later. The broadcasts will be from 12:30 AM on May 22nd and 29th, from 12:45 AM on June 5th, and from 12:40 AM on June 12th.
The program showcases Saito's genuine personality as she enjoys her favorite things with the people she loves, and a complete version including scenes that couldn't be shown on terrestrial television will be available on Hulu.
