The story
On Yomiuri TV’s new show “News to” (the successor to Miyaneya, premiering 10/5), panelist Peco admitted she has no experience with cashless payments, revealing “I buy a ticket every single time I take the train” — prompting her co-stars to scold her, half-exasperated. On 5ch, many commenters sympathized (“I’m team paper ticket too”), while others pushed back against the co-stars who lectured her, calling it “just trying to flex.” The thread split over who’s actually the odd one out.
Monday, 10/5, 3:40 PM

Model Peco (31) appeared as a regular panelist. During the debate segment “My Own Best Answer,” she stunned the studio by revealing her shockingly “analog” side.

What people said
Most places abroad don't actually ban smoking on the street, but a lot of them ban drinking in public, so watch out for that ^_^
The female MC doesn't really stand out either.
He's the only announcer who can get away with throwing shade right to Takenaka's face.
turns out a lot of young people are cash-only too.
"Overseas this, overseas that…"
Classic TV.
That's basically harassment.
I think there were differences in things like transfer/rebooking rules for emergencies — not sure how strict, but one method had options the other didn't.
but I was surprised to find out recently it also works on Kintetsu and Keihan (´・ω・`)
got tedious so I changed the channel — is this a news show or just watching people chit-chat?
Couldn't tell what direction it's going for.
Might come down to whether it's a detailed explainer board (where you focus on the screen) or something more relaxed (where you don't really watch the TV closely).
You're thinking of planes, right?
LCCs don't issue paper tickets anymore.
But I haven't bought a train ticket in forever so I wouldn't know.
Wonder what the ticket machines even look like now.
Why's she doing a live report from inside a car?
I'm still making music with this old gear called the EOS and the QY700, plus an MTR — on the DTM (music production) board they call me a 'Jomon-era caveman using fossils.'
Squarepusher made a ton of tracks with the QY700, you know.
He made classic albums with the bare-bones gear from the early days of DTM, and people still worship them today.
Convenient tools don't necessarily guarantee quality.
Turns out he's only on Fridays — the poster's proportions were ridiculous.
Just run Conan reruns all day instead.
I only got a Suica myself recently.
Kind of scary to watch.
Give it time and we'll get Kuroki vs. Takaoka too.
Background and Key Points
“News to” is the new show Yomiuri TV launched on 10/5 as the successor to Nippon TV’s “Miyaneya,” and Peco’s remark came during the debut episode’s segment “My Own Best Answer.” Japan’s rail system still runs on a mix of paper tickets and IC cards/QR codes, and the thread saw a string of comments pointing out that “paper tickets haven’t been abolished” and “if you don’t ride trains regularly, a ticket is fine enough” — with many voices defending Peco. On the flip side, the co-stars who lectured her also drew pushback, with accusations of “just trying to flex” and “isn’t this harassment?” — leaving the thread split over who actually counts as “normal.” Discussion also spilled over into opinions on the show itself (impressions of the MC, the direction of its segments), but that’s really a separate question about the show’s quality, distinct from the issue of Peco’s lack of cashless experience itself.
