Tenkaippin’s “Live Broadcast” Ramen Photo Actually a Recycled Shot? 5ch: “You Lied About It Being Live”

From our other sites

The story

On 5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyou G (anything-goes live-commentary) board, a thread titled “Hey everyone, I’m at Tenkaippin! 🥺” popped up. The poster claimed to be eating ramen at the Tenkaippin chain and posted a photo as a “live broadcast,” but other users pointed out that the image was identical to one used in a past thread, and pressure began mounting: “You said this was live, but isn’t this just the same old photo recycled?” The poster kept dodging with lines like “A day’s passed, so it’s live again! 🥺,” and the back-and-forth never quite lined up. This poster has made similar reports before, and while regulars reacted with a knowing “same old thing,” a gap opened up with the newer users calling it out for the first time.

Posting a recycled photo again… 😒

Well, to sum it up, this thread is basically the voice actress Kikuko Inoue bit (she's famous for always claiming to be "18 years old♥" no matter her actual age) — when she says that, the expected response is an exasperated "oh come on." Same deal here: whenever you spot this thread, just reply like Re: #3 did with "posting a recycled photo again… 😒" (everyone already knows the drill)

The ramen's the rich one! 🥺

Do you win the puzzle prize every single day? Most people just get a discount coupon.

It's sad how much you've switched over to Mita Seimen (a rival ramen chain)

Re: #45
Why did you say "rerun" that time?

There's a Tenkaippin that opens before 10am? Where is that?

Thanks for the meal! 🥺



Looks like the puzzle prize is gonna be a dud 🥺

Re: #39
Why would you say something like that? 🥺
44AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:22
Re: #40
Why'd you lie and call it "live" when you used the same photo as last time?
45AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:23
Re: #44
Once a day passes, it's live again! 🥺

Re: #60
Well yeah, you'd get annoyed too if someone kept needling you about something everyone already knows is just a bit 🥺
This thread is like the comedy magician Maggie Shiro and his apprentice's act — it's dumb and pointless (he's clearly faking it) and everyone knows it, so you're supposed to just laugh at how dumb it is

Re: #63
There would've been some redemption if he'd at least answered honestly when asked whether he'd posted the same image in an earlier thread, but instead he told a flat-out lie.


70AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:43
Re: #68
Honestly I saw him put up two threads in one day recently, in real time, so I already knew about it… He probably just called it a "rerun" because he wanted to share it with people who hadn't seen it yet 🥺
74AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:44
Re: #70
Then if he's asked whether he posted the same thread before, the honest thing would be to write "this is a rerun." But this thread says "live," doesn't it?
76AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:46
Re: #74
Isn't it just that some weirdly obsessive person like you showed up, so he decided to ignore it? 🥺
79AnonymousOct 11, 2026 10:48
Re: #76
He's not ignoring it. If he wrote "this is a rerun, I've reused this same photo from an earlier thread," he wouldn't get as many replies. So he lied and called it "live."

That's delusions of grandeur 🥺 You should see a doctor 🥺

I get that you're mad, but don't drop the cutesy baby-talk act 😭

You're always eating at Tenkaippin.
You're gonna get fat 🥺

Background and Key Points of This Story

The poster behind this thread (nicknamed “Wai-chan” by the board) is a well-known regular on the Nandemo Jikkyou G board, known for repeatedly posting reports of eating at Tenkaippin. As reply #97 explains by referencing voice actress Kikuko Inoue’s running gag of always introducing herself as “18 years old♥” — a line fans know to answer with an exasperated “oh come on,” even though everyone’s in on the joke — this kind of thread has long continued as an exchange where even the poster himself is playing along with a bit everyone recognizes. This time’s dispute arose because, when someone pointed out that the photo matched one from a previous thread, the poster kept insisting it was “live,” which opened up a gap between how regulars and first-time critics reacted. Regulars shrugged it off as business as usual, already factoring in the recycled photos and exaggeration, while the person calling it out for the first time ended up simply pressing him on the contradiction, and the conversation talked past itself. It would be easy for readers to mistake this for a serious fight over an actual “false report,” but within the thread’s own context, it reads more as lighthearted ribbing within a long-running inside joke.
