The story
A preview clip for the next episode of TV Tokyo’s cooking show “Peko Mogu Kitchen” showed Morning Musume。’25 member Sakura Ishiyama, sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Rio Kitagawa has been serving as assistant on the September 13 broadcast, and the thread’s main focus became whether Kitagawa would continue next week or be swapped out for Ishiyama. Talk also touched on the show’s history as “Danshi Gohan,” hosted by Taichi Kokubun and Shimpei Kurihara, the fact that Kurihara is the son of cooking expert Harumi Kurihara, and past appearances by Ai Kago and Maki Goto — all framed around the topic of Hello! Project members’ outside work.

So it's Sakura-chi next week, huh?
Same old weirdness here too, reliable as ever
Her face just keeps getting more intense
Sakura-chi really keeps landing in offbeat spots on these programs
This is just my own biased impression, but doesn't AKB call literally everyone their "ace"?
And yet none of them ever seem like that big a deal to me?

Kitagawa's the assistant, and the guest two weeks back was Kago, plus Goto's been on too

Arisawa and Ishiyama both quietly have some solo work going
They were on the TV Tokyo Music Festival together too
Yep, it's up
Today's broadcast is already available too
Kentaro, who stepped down from the previous show after a serious traffic accident, also had a cooking-expert mother
Feels like a lot of these cooking families run two or three generations deep
Every thread about Juice=Juice or BEYOOOOONDS doing outside work gets brigaded, so I think "outside work" is just a trigger topic for someone
Yep

Background and Key Points
“Peko Mogu Kitchen” is a spin-off of “Danshi Gohan,” the long-running cooking show hosted for years by Taichi Kokubun and Shimpei Kurihara; it launched after Kokubun’s departure, with Kurihara taking over as main host. Kurihara is the son of cooking expert Harumi Kurihara, and the show has previously featured guest appearances from Hello! Project OGs and current members alike, including Ai Kago and Maki Goto. The thread’s focus centers on whether Rio Kitagawa, who has served as assistant for the past two weeks, will continue next week or be swapped out for Sakura Ishiyama — though it’s worth noting this is speculation drawn from the show’s next-episode preview footage, not an official announcement.
