The new future of television 'ABEMA' broadcasted Episode 10 of the information variety show 'Himitsu no Mama En 2,' where mothers share their unfiltered real feelings, starting at 9:00 PM on Sunday, April 5, 2026.

'Himitsu no Mama En' is an information variety show that serves as a place for mothers to speak their 'true minds' rather than public stances. It confronts the reality of parents living in the 'now' from all perspectives, including diverse family structures, parenting philosophies, romance, marital relationships, and self-actualization. The show's MCs feature three women representing mothers and working women of their respective generations: Makiko Takizawa, Chihiro Kondo, and Minami Minegishi. Through past studio talks and anonymous consultations, it has garnered feedback from many viewers such as 'I empathized with it as if it were my own story' and 'It connects with my everyday life.'

'At what you'd call a dinner party...' Chihiro Kondo Reacts to Asami Konno's Story of Meeting Her Pro-Baseball Player Husband: 'That's Quite the Tactic!' Episode 10, broadcasted on Sunday, April 5, featured guest Asami Konno—a former Morning Musume member, freelance announcer, and currently a mother of four—from the very beginning of the show. During the opening talk, she candidly confessed how she met her pro-baseball player husband (pitcher Toshihiro Sugiura of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters). Revealing the catalyst for their meeting as 'what you'd call a dinner party...', Konno recalled that since they were both from Hokkaido, and she was just about to start living alone, her husband approached her saying things like, 'There's a lot I don't know' and 'Please tell me some good restaurants.' When MC Kondo sharply retorted, 'That's quite the tactic!', Konno laughed and replied, 'I wonder if it was a tactic.'
