The story
5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyō board (NanG) is home to freewheeling chat threads where random topics pile up with zero connection to each other. This one’s a textbook example: it opens with the classic question of ‘which female voice actress has S-rank voice quality,’ with Kiritani Hana’s name getting thrown out, then veers into Kagawa Prefecture’s udon culture — including a local-sounding claim that ‘nobody eats instant Nissin Donbei udon there because the restaurants are cheaper anyway’ — and a story about how telling a Downtown fan that Hitoshi Matsumoto is ‘basically just a YouTuber now’ got them furious. There’s no unifying theme here; each reply brings its own mix of agreement, pushback, and jokes.
What people said
Kiritani Hana 😊
Real talk, nobody's hiring some middle-aged guy for office work
Why not just go on welfare at this point?
Do you even really want to work?
Wrong kanji — it's Takane Lui 😡

It's supposedly 300 years in the future and Nissin still exists?
Besides, in Kagawa restaurant udon is cheaper than instant Donbei, so nobody eats Donbei there anyway
Loved Real Ponkikki (a kids' variety show)
Wait, is that Kotone!?
There's no time difference, so at least spare them a thought
Does 'sparing a thought' actually change anything?
Why don't they just defect, then?
Glad I was born in Japan
They eat it in Kochi

Background and Talking Points
Threads like this are typical of the Nandemo Jikkyō (NanG) board’s chat-thread style, which often opens with a slice-of-life line and isn’t tied to any particular news story — instead, participants just toss out whatever topic comes to mind. Since a prompt like ‘S-rank voice quality’ has no clear criteria, these debates tend to drift along without ever reaching a conclusion, and Kiritani Hana’s name coming up is just one poster’s opinion. Likewise, the claim that ‘restaurant udon is cheaper than instant Donbei’ in Kagawa reflects one local’s personal sense of things rather than any statistical backing. And the exchange about Hitoshi Matsumoto captures a slice of ongoing chatter about how public perception of celebrities has shifted as they appear on TV less — it isn’t meant to assert any settled fact.
