The story

Minami Hamabe’s declaration on the November 3 broadcast of “DayDay.” that she “loves Korokoro Chiki Chiki Peppers” became a hot topic. On 5ch, users dug up an old clip where Nadal (real name: Daisuke Hori) broke character during a prank segment and snapped at the sight of Hamabe, “You’re younger than me! Don’t come near me!” — a moment that had already won him goodwill. The thread also veered into the recently reported romance between Hamabe and King & Prince’s Ren Nagase, derailing the comedian-fan talk into excited gossip.

Minami Hamabe reveals the comedy duo she “loves” — Ryota Yamazaki: “I’ve already thrown my likability out the window, so nothing scares me now”… on “DayDay.”

Actress Minami Hamabe appeared on Nippon TV’s “DayDay.” (weekdays, 9:00 AM) on the 3rd and revealed the comedy act she “loves.”

During the show’s entertainment segment, talk turned to comedians, and Hamabe named the duo, saying, “I really love Korokoro Chiki Chiki Peppers.”

Are there still Mei Nagano fans out there who hate on Minami Hamabe?

That reminds me
whatever happened to the Ayumi Hamasaki fans who used to hate on Namie Amuro?

That time Nadal co-starred with Minami Hamabe on a prank show and completely lost it —
"You're younger than me! Don't come near me!" —
totally wrecking the whole bit where a comedian was supposed to act awestruck by her. Hilarious.

Oh, that's the Nadal thing —
couldn't place it just from "Korochiki"
16AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:32
Nadal's actually been doing really well lately under his real name, Daisuke Hori, too
18AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:33
Nishino, completely misreading it as "oh, she's fallen for my muscles"
19AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:33
Nadal and Rakuningo are genuinely funny
21AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:34
Between Nadal and Yamazaki, Nadal's probably still more popular
22AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:35
Yabe Hiroyugi: "Oka-mara-san, you've got a scary look on your face — what's wrong?"
Oka-mara Dekashi: "Apparently Minami Hamabe's got a thing for Nadal."
Yabe Hiroyugi: "That's no good — the unspoken rule is she's supposed to say she likes YOU, Oka-mara-san."
Oka-mara Dekashi: "You get it."
Yabe Hiroyugi: "I'll deal with Hamabe for disrespecting you, Oka-mara-san."
Oka-mara Dekashi: "No need to kill Minami — it's Nadal who needs dealing with."

Re: #22
What even is this unfunny bit?
24AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:42
Well, Nadal really does commit fully to the comedian role
25AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:42
Why not just make Daisuke Hori a one-man Korochiki?
The guy's already got Nadal's face AND Nishino's muscles.
26AnonymousNov 3, 2026 14:43
Minami Hamabe's got a slightly off-kilter vibe to her, you know
40AnonymousNov 3, 2026 15:05
Turns out who she REALLY likes is a Johnny's idol
43AnonymousNov 3, 2026 15:07
Re: #40
Minami Hamabe's actually a SEVENTEEN (K-pop) stan lol
72AnonymousNov 3, 2026 15:36
Cracking up that people still believe Gaasyy when it's already been proven he's full of lies
80AnonymousNov 3, 2026 15:48
Re: #72
And what about Gou Ayano — the guy who had facts about him leaked by Gaasyy and then filed intimidation/extortion charges over it?

Background and Key Points of This Story

Korokoro Chiki Chiki Peppers is a comedy duo made up of Makoto Nishino (known as Nadal) and Daisuke Hori; in recent years Nadal has increasingly appeared in acting and variety work under his real name, “Daisuke Hori.” The prank segment referenced in the thread was an old bit where a comedian was supposed to act stunned by Minami Hamabe, but Nadal broke character and genuinely snapped at her instead — an incident 5ch users fondly cited as proof of Hamabe’s real affection for the duo. Meanwhile, the reported romance with Ren Nagase comes from weekly tabloids like Josei Seven, not an official statement from Hamabe or her agency — worth keeping in mind. The thread’s debate over “who she really likes” drifted into pure celebrity-gossip speculation, mixing confirmed facts with unverified rumor, so some caution is warranted.
