Satoshi Mukai (Panther) and Shohei Osada (Chocolate Planet) enjoy a carefree journey of driving, hot springs, and gourmet food on the relaxed travel show 'Mukai Nagata's Kuruma Onsen Channel' (BS Yoshimoto, every Saturday at 21:00). Episode #74 will be broadcast on Saturday, May 16th.

Gold Medalist is a Jeep Owner

The program started on YouTube in April 2022. The BS Yoshimoto version retains the "private feel" interactions enjoyed on the channel while incorporating unique TV-企画, offering a glimpse of the duo you can't see anywhere else.

This time, they welcome female wrestling gold medalist Yuka Kagami to "Jeep Ikebukuro."

It's revealed that a year ago, while filming at the same dealership, they ran into Kagami, a Jeep owner, who was there privately. This connection led to the offer. Kagami apparently drives a Wrangler.

First, they start by looking at the cars, guided by a staff member of the store, nicknamed "the Yoshizawa Ryo of the Jeep world" by Mukai. As they look at various models and features, a playful point is introduced, and Kagami's face lights up with excitement, exclaiming, "No way! I love this kind of stuff!"

A Moment to Talk About Burnout Syndrome

The three of them drive a Jeep to Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture.

In the car, Kagami reveals her past experience with burnout syndrome after becoming world champion, saying, "I wondered if I would ever have something to aim for in my life with the same dedication."

When asked how she recovered, she recalls a certain event: "I had only done wrestling, so I thought, 'If I quit, I'll have nothing.' But I hated the idea of 'continuing wrestling just because it's all I have,' as it felt like an escape. It was then that..."

There is also a scene where Osada comments to Kagami, "You're very stylish."

Kagami confesses her thoughts, saying, "There's still an opinion that athletes should focus solely on their sport, but..." She mentions that she basically doesn't wear makeup for wrestling matches and smiles, "I think track and field athletes have a sparkling image, and I admire that." She adds that even in post-match interviews, "I want to look more visually appealing..."
