During the popular “Nani wo Kiku Nen” segment on MBS’s variety show Tsukai! Akashiya Denshidai, Becky reportedly revealed the name of the celebrity she’s “conscious of.” On 5ch, names like Mari Yaguchi, Chinatsu Wakatsuki, and Mariko Shinoda came up, sparking discussion about their standing in the entertainment industry at the time and the truth behind their rivalries.

Becky Names the Celebrity She’s “Conscious Of” — A Former Rival

TV personality Becky appears on MBS TV’s Tsukai! Akashiya Denshidai (airing Saturdays at 3:00 PM, Kansai local broadcast) on the 29th, chatting with host Sanma Akashiya.

In the show’s signature segment “Nani wo Kiku Nen,” where 50 members of the studio audience get to question the guest, each audience member writes down the name of a celebrity they think they resemble on a spinning “name board.” Sanma picks out a celebrity name that catches his interest, the audience member who wrote it shares their own story, and then poses a question directly to the guest.

Apparently her husband's a pro baseball player. Had no idea lol

He played for the Seibu Lions and the Giants
Kataoka Yasu

He was a good-looking player I liked, so it was a shock he got snagged by someone like Becky

Chinatsu Wakatsuki is one of Sanma's favorites, after all.
Becky's being calculating dropping that name — typical calculating Becky.

Chinatsu Wakatsuki's talk skills are on a whole different level,
so going up against her on that front is a losing battle.

It's Wentz. (i.e., entertainer Eiji Wentz)

Becky's pretty good at it too, though

Wakatsuki's talk skills are on a completely different tier

Does Sanma still think he's running a rehab factory for scandal-hit celebrities?
15Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 09:56:27.02ID:dnu7y6gT0
It would've been funnier if she'd said Mari Yaguchi
18Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 09:58:32.20ID:z28eZcfk0

Yaguchi wins since she didn't end up sticking it out with that Gesu whatshisname guy lol (ref. Gesu no Kiwami Otome affair scandal)

That story on Ariyoshi Quiz where Yaguchi ran into Becky in private and the two of them bonded over it was hilarious
16Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 09:57:55.94ID:0/ZVqQ2Q0
For someone who screwed up that badly, she's not committed enough to playing the disgraced clown

Mariko Shinoda playing villain roles in dramas is terrifyingly perfect casting
25Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:04:37.88ID:sOHx88lt0

In "Ochitara Owari" (If You Fall, It's Over) there's a scene next week where she tries to jump off an apartment building
27Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:07:54.42ID:jgiUKoSX0

Mariko Shinoda is basically a late-night drama regular at this point
Feels like every season, on any network, she's always in some late-night drama involving cheating — either as the cheater or the cheated-on
36Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:16:13.21ID:TJscJZdQ0
Wakatsuki hasn't had any scandals
She's a likability monster
It's impressive she climbed all the way up to become the queen of commercials
37Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:17:11.39ID:0ZjVoYpw0
There aren't many examples of a female talent staging a comeback like this
Masayuki Shunou's judgment was spot on
54Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:32:11.97ID:MQYx3r3I0
Why is this person still blacklisted from TV?
63Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:36:43.71ID:72mJEwnA0
>>54
Nah, she's on TV and radio plenty
56Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:32:54.74ID:hIAm+Q4w0
When Spike Matsuura appeared on a big show, he introduced himself with "I can still get angry about stuff from years ago," trying to leave an impression.
After he finished telling his story, Wakatsuki asked him "When was that?" and he answered "Eight years ago," which got a huge laugh.
It's a story about how sharp Wakatsuki is.
The impressive part is she didn't ask "how many years ago," she just asked "when" — and let his answer land the joke itself

Chinatsu Wakatsuki's really got that comedic timing down
60Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:34:10.00ID:bSA58CVR0
When Chinatsu Wakatsuki first made her comeback, she was kind of a hassle — refusing to appear on TV unless billed with her "company president" title, blowing up on Twitter when TBS's talent directory listed her name, stuff like that
76Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:43:58.86ID:hnW2pftb0
>>60
Was that the talent directory thing?
Or maybe it's the one where Jun named Chinatsu Wakatsuki as the ex-girlfriend among the talents he'd dated that he regrets breaking up with
78Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:46:20.47ID:dPkVgfUv0
Wasn't she the one whose career ended over an affair?
84Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:51:14.83ID:jQllsVDa0
>>78
I feel like it wasn't the affair itself but the leaked LINE messages — which came off mocking and nasty — that were the final blow
Though I always felt there was a gap between how the industry saw her likability and how the public did
92Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 10:57:14.42ID:HgkKNsk70
Wakatsuki came up through swimsuit gravure modeling
Becky's never done swimsuit gravure, so they don't really feel like rivals
Wakatsuki's more in the same lane as Yoko Kumada, Yuko Ogura, that group
103Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 11:05:39.62ID:1ZiO/qnm0

And Becky never once appeared in London Boots' "Women Ranking Each Other" segment either —
she just watched from a safe distance
She had her own regular show the whole time, sitting comfortably in a stable position
Don't act like you saw her as a rival now, that sounds fake too
106Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 11:08:08.37ID:HmUGgCgT0
After variety show tapings, apparently Becky, Wakatsuki, gravure idols, and other female talents would all meet up at a family restaurant on the way home
and hold debrief sessions like "you should've answered that way instead," studying how to play it next time — that's why they're strong
They're not like the Sakamichi/AKB48-type groups where the group is strong but individuals are weak on their own
113Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 11:11:44.28ID:fSVlMgvd0

Becky wasn't actually at those debrief sessions though
