CBC Television will start broadcasting a new program "Tomodachi Tamago" from May 9th (Saturday) at 0:28 AM.
Yua Mikami, a charismatic figure with an overwhelming number of SNS followers. However, in her private life, she says she is "not good at making friends." This unpredictable talk variety show introduces "friend candidates" (friends' eggs) to Mikami.
The mediator is Tontsukatan Morimoto, whose popularity as a TV and radio host is rapidly rising. With his conversational skills, he introduces various people to Mikami, including comedians, creators, and even slightly eccentric ordinary people.

The first guest to appear as a "friend candidate" is Kiri, a female comedian who is also a junior of Tontsukatan Morimoto's agency. She grew up in Russia from childhood and entered the Moscow Conservatory, one of the world's top three music academies, as the top student. She has a unique background, having dropped out of the conservatory as the top student to become a pianist-turned-comedian.
The second guest is Yutaro Hamada, a blind solo comedian with congenital visual impairment.
What kind of chemical reaction will occur when Hamada, the R-1 Grand Prix 2018 winner, meets Mikami?

Also, within the program, there will be a location shoot project where Hyoroku travels overseas making friends. The country visited is Taiwan. How will Hyoroku utilize his character to make friends? And pay attention to the unknown spots in Taipei, Jiufen, Shifen, etc., that he visits while making friends! A 200m long queue spot and local recommended back-alley gourmet spots will appear one after another!
Catch-up streaming will be available on TVer and Locipo every Sunday noon the day after the broadcast! For those outside the broadcast area, please register as a favorite on TVer!

Cast/Staff Comments
Yua Mikami
"I hope to make more friends through this program! I want friends I can meet without makeup and messy hair. I think many adults find it troublesome to make friends, so I would be happy if this program makes people think, 'Friends are great!'"
Tontsukatan Morimoto
"I hope that the people I introduce will spread across Mikami-san's SNS! And then, when people see them, I hope they think, 'This person was introduced on Tomodachi Tamago!' I want to make this program a turning point in Mikami-san's life! ...What kind of motivation is that!?"
Hyoroku
"It was a big challenge for me, who usually doesn't interact much with people, to constantly call out to Taiwanese people. It was three days of continuous exposure to the kindness of Taiwanese people. I've come to love Taiwan, please watch it!"
Producer Shutaro Sakane (CBC Television)
"This program features many unique 'friends' eggs (guests), such as comedians with unusual backgrounds! I hope viewers will watch the program as if it were their own, asking themselves, 'Would I want to be friends with this person?'"
Official program X and Instagram will release off-shots that can only be seen there! Unreleased content not seen in the main program will also be delivered.
