An 'Eye-Opening' Special Class That Even Todai Students Don't Know Yet! 'Kazushige & The Strongest Lecturers Teach Passionately! Things They Don't Teach at Todai' Airs Saturday, March 28th at 12:50 PM!

TV Tokyo will broadcast 'Kazushige & The Strongest Lecturers Teach Passionately! Things They Don't Teach at Todai' on Saturday, March 28th, starting at 12:50 PM. This unique variety show challenges students from the University of Tokyo—Japan's brightest minds—with topics they wouldn't typically study, such as 'cherry blossom viewing,' '80s idols,' 'evolving food technology,' and 'group dating (gokon).'

Hosted by Kazushige Nagashima with Shinobu Hasegawa (Sissonne) as the moderator, the show features a lineup of the entertainment industry's 'strongest lecturers': Hiroshi Nagano, Mitz Mangrove, Takashi Yoshimura (Heisei Nobushi Kobushi), Aika Kanda, and Hiroyuki Iguchi (Westland). Armed with 'real-world knowledge' and life experience, they aim to shake up the students' conventional wisdom. However, the students often fire back with their own unique perspectives, leaving the lecturers flustered. With no scripted outcomes, the battle between the Todai students and the expert lecturers is a must-see!

■ Class 1: Westland's Iguchi teaches the 'Potential of Cherry Blossoms'
Challenging the students on whether they truly understand the potential of cherry blossoms, Iguchi presents his unique, sharp-tongued take on the beauty of sakura and how to enjoy hanami. When his unconventional theories are met with pushback from the students, things get heated! The segment also features a weather forecaster and sakura enthusiast sharing 'Top 3 Rare Cherry Blossom Spots Accessible from the City for a Day Trip,' revealing breathtaking views that surprise even the Todai students.

■ Class 2: Mitz Mangrove teaches the 'Flower of the '82 Idol Class'
A self-proclaimed fan of Showa-era idols and pop music, Mitz Mangrove focuses on the 'Flower of the '82 Idol Class,' which produced legendary solo stars like Akina Nakamori and Iyo Matsumoto. Using rare footage from the legendary TV Tokyo show 'Yan Yan Utau Studio,' Mitz analyzes the 'vocal ability' and 'production' that made these idols icons. The class dissects why Showa idols became legends, revealing behind-the-scenes production secrets that surprise even students who weren't alive during that era.

■ Class 3: Hiroshi Nagano teaches 'Evolving Food Technology'
With a culinary license and several cookbooks to his name, Hiroshi Nagano teaches the evolution of food technology. From cutting-edge frozen foods that perfectly replicate sushi, chiffon cake, and katsu sandwiches, to vending machines that automatically cook ramen from famous shops, Nagano presents the latest tech that even the brilliant Todai students didn't know about. His deep, practical, and passionate 'food class' is a must-watch.

■ Class 4: Nobukobu Yoshimura & Aika Kanda teach the 'Joy of Group Dating (Gokon)'
Yoshimura and Kanda tackle the topic of 'gokon.' With extensive experience in the dating scene, they present rules for enjoying group dates, such as 'Go to [place] before the date!' and 'Do [action] within the first 5 minutes!' While it may seem like a playful class, they share their unique laws for enriching human relationships through seating arrangements and food sharing. Through the lens of dating, the Todai students learn how to navigate social dynamics and read the room.
