The story
Fuji TV’s late-night variety show “Sashihara Chinatsu” has been canceled, ending in late September — just five months after it premiered this past April. The show had drawn attention even before its debut as the first-ever pairing of popular talents Sashihara Rino and Wakatsuki Chinatsu, so word is that even Fuji TV staff were stunned, saying “surely this isn’t happening.” On 5ch, discussion centered on the show’s low-budget feel and its reliance on Yoshimoto comedians as guests, as well as Wakatsuki Chinatsu’s assertive on-air personality and the story of her comeback after a career gap.
“Surely this isn’t happening” — staff stunned as Fuji TV’s new show gets canceled after “just 5 months,” and the reason is embarrassing

What people said
I'm watching it right now too
It's not so much boring as it just reeks of low budget
Is it just good lighting?
Apparently people with no class are the ones who hate Wakatsuki
There's nothing wrong with being "Miyauchi" itself
It was just incredibly boring, full stop
Don't make excuses
They're just enemies of Fuji, that's all
Doesn't matter who's on it

Sashihara Rino
I was gonna say "lol Kokomi's got the lowest interest score" but looking closer, the actual bottom spot is Goriki Ayame
Nagano Mei-chan
She's in a nice spot there, lol

Nagasawa Masami and Gakki (Aragaki Yui) are amazing
The old folks hanging around on 5ch aren't much different
I only watch NHK news on terrestrial TV, but BS still has some watchable stuff
Or are you too poor to even own a TV?
Here comes Mr. Behind-the-Times, lol
Having talk skills doesn't automatically mean you're entertaining
Wakatsuki never backs down even when someone pushes back at her, and she claps back for real instead of playing it for laughs — it's annoying
>she claps back for real instead of playing it for laughs — it's annoying
Totally get it
I watch Wakatsuki on Lovit, and I can't stand how she basically starts lecturing someone the second they react in a way she doesn't like
Going "hey, THAT'S exactly the problem!"
I do like Wakatsuki, but that part is hard to watch
She wasn't frozen out, she stepped back to raise her kids
She said she wondered if she could still hack it, asked someone for advice, and they told her "you'll be fine as long as you're loud"
So she tried it and said the comeback was easy
Background and Key Points of the Discussion
“Sashihara Chinatsu” was a Fuji TV late-night talk variety show that began this past April, drawing attention before it even aired as the first pairing of popular talents Sashihara Rino and Wakatsuki Chinatsu. The original article describes the reason for the cancellation as “embarrassing” but doesn’t specify what that reason actually was, and no mention of an official cancellation reason appears in the thread either. Opinion was mainly split over how to judge the show’s content — some criticized the production values and budget, while others felt the Sashihara–Wakatsuki pairing itself wasn’t a bad idea. Discussion also touched on Wakatsuki Chinatsu’s assertive on-air personality (which drew both love and hate) and her past career gap, but it’s worth noting these weren’t directly tied to the cancellation — they came up simply as personal opinions about the performers themselves.
