TBS Channel 1 Latest Drama, Music & Movies, a CS broadcast channel operated by TBS Television, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masamine Ryuho), will exclusively broadcast the special program "Gokigenyou! Yoneda 2000's 'Watakushi ga Madam Macho'" for the first time on television on Saturday, June 27 from 6:30 PM.

Yoneda 2000 (Makoto on the left, Ai on the right)

Yoneda 2000 is a comedy duo formed 6 years ago by Makoto and Ai. Armed with their unique worldview and unparalleled tempo, they have made their presence felt in numerous award races, including advancing to the finals of the "M-1 Grand Prix" twice. Their solo live tour, which started on May 31 across four cities nationwide, has been seeing sold-out venues, making them a highly anticipated female comedy duo with great momentum.

● Theme: The Phantom Routine "Madam Macho"

The duo participated from the planning stage and produced the program themselves, with the theme being their phantom routine "Madam Macho." The show progresses with Makoto playing "Masako" and Ai playing "Mariko," both acting as Madam Macho characters. They challenge themselves with a town-strolling location shoot, a 4-game match at an athletic facility, and even filming a mini-drama.

● Eager to Co-star!? Unique Madam Macho Characters Appear One After Another!

A luxurious lineup of guests who claim "I am the true Madam Macho" will gather. Elf and Nanamagari will appear in the town-strolling shoot, while Ebers and Mamedeppo will join the 4-game match, each fully embracing their own character. They will show off their Madam Macho-ness during the shoot, and Masako (Makoto) and Mariko (Ai) will judge them using "Madam Points," "Macho Points," and the exceptionally rare "Madam Macho Points."

In the town-strolling shoot, they will aim for the title of "MVMM (Most Valuable Madam Muscular)" through coordination and food reporting battles. In the final showdown, they will interview passersby to see if they can be recognized as "Madam Macho" purely by their behavior.

In the 4-game match, they will take on various activities to claim the title of the "True Madam Macho"! Expect a series of courageous acts and bizarre incidents leading to a mix of laughter and tears. Who will be able to show their true power as Madam Macho? And what exactly is Madam Macho anyway? The show gets to the bottom of it!

● Masako and Mariko Take on Their First Drama!

Masako and Mariko will also challenge themselves with a drama for the first time! They are usually very close, but an unexpected trigger causes a rift between them...!? The unyielding battle to decide the "True" Madam Macho begins now.

From location shoots to dramas, there are plenty of highlights! We bring you 60 minutes of the full Yoneda 2000 worldview. The program can be viewed simultaneously on PC and smartphones via "SkyPerfecTV! Program Streaming" and is available for viewing anytime up to a week after broadcast. Latest updates will be announced on the program's official SNS.

Interview

- You participated from the planning stage and have finished all filming. How do you feel about the results?

Makoto: Oh, this...

It's great! No regrets! It's been a long time since I've had such a fun time.

Ai: That's right.

Makoto: How was it for you?

Ai: It was truly fun! Time flew by. I want to keep going.

Makoto: I was so happy to work with such warm people.

Ai: It really felt like "Team! Team!"

Makoto: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

- You did various location shoots, but was there anything particularly memorable?

Makoto: Definitely the person named Mrs. Muki (Naoto Morishita from Nanamagari).

After eating, she had a clearly spaced-out look on her face.

She looked like "morning is not my best time."

Ai: I wonder if she is weak in the morning?

Both: Yeah, yeah, yeah~

Makoto: How about you?

Ai: There were quite courageous actions, with both tears and laughter.

I thought it was really good.

Makoto: That would be Ms. Suzuki (Kentaro Higashi from Mamedeppo), probably.

Ai: Yes. I really felt something from within Ms. Suzuki. I was happy!

Makoto: There was also a huge crash incident!

Ai: Was it Ms. La (Kazuki Machida from Ebers)?

Makoto: Maybe Ms. La?

Both: We really want you to watch it.

- Finally, a message to the viewers.

Ai: It's our first special program as Masako and Mariko.

I'm truly happy. And it's an hour long!

Makoto: Yes!

Ai: I never thought we could do this much.

So, I'm genuinely happy. We are doing it purely out of happiness.

I hope you can feel that.

Makoto: I think we've made a program that both our regular supporters and first-time viewers can enjoy.

So, please watch♪￥●＆％＃?!

Ai: Ah~ it's so high-pitched I can't hear it!

She seems to be saying "Please watch it."

Makoto: Our dream is to do a part 2 of this, goodnight!
