The story
On 5ch’s live-commentary board “Nandemo Jikkyou G,” a thread that kicked off with the call “let’s have a high-level discussion” ended up blowing up — just not the way anyone expected. No talk of literature or art ever materialized; instead the topic turned to games like Monster Hunter and Puzzle & Dragons. Things got sillier still when someone twisted a politician’s surname into the pun “Level Takaichi” (playing on “takai,” meaning “high”), which got a laugh out of everyone. From there the thread spiraled further, with posters swapping lunch photos and debating their favorite characters from the anime “Sound! Euphonium.” In the end, the “high-level discussion” everyone originally asked for never actually happened.

Seriously, what topic CAN you talk about, then?
Like literature or art.
Can you manage a "Level Takaichi" discussion?" (a pun on "takai," meaning "high," and the surname of politician Takaichi)
Literature lolololol
What even IS a "Level Takaichi" discussion?
I could do Puzzle & Dragons
Hurry up and drop Ascendance already 😡
You mean the series that died because Wilds was such garbage?

So that means it's high-level then, right?
I'd be so happy if you came to get me with a janome-pattern umbrella (lines from the classic children's song "Amefuri")
Is this "Ame no Bojou"?" (a classic enka ballad, "Longing in the Rain")
Looks tasty~ 🥹

Probably a pic pulled off the internet, but is that aosa (dried green seaweed) on top of the noodles?
Who's your favorite girl from Sound! Euphonium?
I'm a Kanade-chan guy myself
Wait, which one is she again?
It's Platinum Week 🤗" (a jokey one-up on Japan's "Golden Week" holiday stretch)
Ever heard of a lunch break, Mr. Unemployed? 🤭
Background and Talking Points
“Nandemo Jikkyou G” is a live-commentary board where casual chatter flows almost like a livestream, and it’s common for a thread’s stated topic to have nothing to do with where the conversation actually ends up. This time, too, the “let’s have a high-level discussion” premise never really took hold — the drift toward game talk and food photos is a familiar pattern on this board. The “Takaichi” pun that runs through the thread repurposes a politician’s surname as wordplay on “takai” (high); it’s worth noting this is just wordplay, not commentary on policy or approval ratings. It should also be noted that the original thread contained replies mocking a real person’s educational background and appearance, plus some sexual comments — those have been left out of this article since they amount to personal attacks on a specific individual. For most live-commentary threads, the appeal isn’t deep engagement with any single topic — it’s the fast, easy back-and-forth between posters.
