The story
The TV Asahi special “Sandwichman’s World of Shocking Videos! ▽ The Strongest Idol Squad,” airing the night of the 9th at 7pm, featured Hinatazaka46’s Honoka Hirao, Juice=Juice’s Misaki Ebata, and SWEET STEADY’s Nagisa Shoji. On 5ch’s live-viewing and standby threads, the focus wasn’t on the show’s content but on whether people could even watch it — with a wave of posts from the Kansai region worrying the broadcast would get bumped by the Hanshin Tigers vs. Hiroshima Carp game airing at the same time. Posters kept reporting that the show didn’t turn up when they searched for it on TVer, and talk turned to whether FOD or Telasa had it streaming, but the thread ultimately settled on one conclusion: “nobody’s streaming this anywhere.”

Background and Key Points of This Topic
Japanese TV specials and variety shows on Nippon TV often fill slots where a featured performer couldn’t appear in person with “related-talent video segments,” and this time too, separate from main cast members like Nao Matsushita, footage of the three idol acts was shot separately for use on social media. One-off terrestrial specials sometimes don’t make it onto catch-up streaming services like TVer, so it’s not unusual to see posts from viewers who searched the program guide and came up empty. In some regions, including Kansai, it’s also become standard practice for Osaka-area stations to prioritize coverage of the local baseball team’s games, bumping the nationwide network feed — which shows up in this thread’s recurring worry, even before airtime, that the broadcast would get preempted by a baseball game. The thread stays focused entirely on questions of streaming availability and regional broadcast quirks, with no evaluation yet of the actual show content.
