Igoshogi's Passion Three Points
Fancs Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Koji Ninomiya; TSE Prime: 2461), a company operating in the prosumer support sector, has announced that its comedy radio app GERA (Gera) will bring back the beloved show 'Igoshogi's Passion Three Points' for two special episodes. Originally ending its regular broadcast in June 2025, the show will return with limited-time broadcasts on July 7 and July 14, 2026, available exclusively on the GERA app.
【Overview】
'Igoshogi's Passion Three Points' was hosted by the comedy duo Igoshogi (Taichi Nekidate and Daisuke Fumita / Yoshimoto Kogyo) and aired for approximately five years since its launch in October 2020. Known for its unique policy of only reading emails that surpass a certain level of humor, the show attracted a dedicated community of prolific letter-writers (affectionately known as 'Shooters').
Even after the show's regular broadcasts ended in June 2025, continuous requests for its revival poured in via social media and other channels. In response to this overwhelming support, the show will now return for a limited two-episode run.
Listeners can look forward to the show's signature segments, including curated emails and free-flowing conversations.
