In the BS Yoshimoto program 'Tsumami wa Beni Shoga Danshi! Takunomi Suru kara Uchi Kiiya!' (aired on the 3rd and 4th Saturday of every month at 23:30), the comedy duo Beni Shoga hosts 'home drinking' sessions with charming male guests to eat, drink, and chat. In the March 28 (Sat) episode, continuing from last week, the guest is the incredibly fresh and handsome 21-year-old actor Jin Matsumoto, known for his role as a Sentai hero.

A fan favorite! The 'dark history' blog written by high schooler Inada is revealed!

Since guest Jin Matsumoto was born in 2005, the conversation turns to how old the members of Beni Shoga were at the time, revealing an age gap where Inada was in high school and Kumamoto Pro-wrestling was in junior high. This leads to a look back at events from 2005. When discussing how comedians were starring in dramas back then, Inada expresses her ambition to act, and when Matsumoto asks what kind of role, she flatly replies, 'Not a role. Sunday Theater.' Inada recalls 2005 as the year she had her first boyfriend, sharing a bittersweet yet funny first-love story. Meanwhile, Kuma-Pro talks passionately about the asymmetrical hairstyles that were popular at the time. Furthermore, the show features a blog Inada wrote in 2005—a staple for Beni Shoga fans—which Kuma-Pro calls 'dark history' and Inada calls 'the dawn of digital tattoos.'

Kuma-Pro and Matsumoto get close in a 'human knot' game using towels!

In the second half of the show, Beni Shoga and Matsumoto challenge each other to a 'human knot' game. Using towels to keep their bodies close, Matsumoto chooses Kuma-Pro as his partner, and they struggle to untangle themselves. They end up in a position resembling a back hug, and although Kuma-Pro remarks, '...what a pointless game,' she seems secretly pleased. Additionally, in the regular snack corner, they make 'crispy cheese-tara.' While the recipe involves grilling the cheese-tara until crispy, Kuma-Pro surprises everyone by starting to 'knead' it, leaving Matsumoto and Inada stunned. Tune in to see Matsumoto's reaction to the dish and to find out who he chooses in the regular segment where the guest decides whether they prefer Inada or Kuma-Pro, based on his imagination of going out for drinks with them! 'Tsumami wa Beni Shoga' airs on the 3rd and 4th Saturday of every month at 23:30 (broadcast time changes to 23:00 starting in April). Don't miss the catch-up streaming service!
