Re: #2
She really pulled herself back together mentally after that.
3AnonymousOct 15, 2026 01:45
Honestly, at this point it's starting to look like the show is engineering things so Ano-chan wins
it's going a little too smoothly.
5AnonymousOct 15, 2026 01:49
Impressive.
She's the prize money queen — honestly, by today's standards even a winner's prize of like 3 million yen would be fine.
8AnonymousOct 15, 2026 01:51
The 'Gochi' price-guessing segment (where contestants guess menu item prices) is set up so a jackpot win is possible depending on the combinations.
10AnonymousOct 15, 2026 01:52
So? Isn't her appearance fee for being on the show dozens of times bigger than that?
11AnonymousOct 15, 2026 01:53
Seriously, quit using 'boku' as your first-person pronoun already.
14AnonymousOct 15, 2026 02:05
Same as a washed-up YouTuber
once the momentum dries up, they panic and start talking about money
guess she wants some reassurance.

Her new song, a tie-in with Sgt. Frog, got 1 million views in 3 days though.

I wish she'd just dump the whole thing on the Arima Kinen.
23AnonymousOct 15, 2026 02:35
If Ano-chan hadn't gone on Suidou (Suiyoubi no Downtown),
she wouldn't be in the position she's in now
well, she's just got incredible luck.

Young, adored by everyone, and rich —
her Starbucks coffee must taste even better.
27AnonymousOct 15, 2026 02:51
Getting this excited over a mere million yen, lmaooo how broke was she before www

Okumura Udon (a comedian known for his money-shock bit): "HAAAAA?! Feel the weight of an unsuccessful comedian's 990,000 yen!!"

That's money the sponsor companies squeezed out of you guys through repeated price hikes, you know.
29AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:00
Ano-chan's just plain naturally smart, honestly.
31AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:01
When did this girl become the 'smart' character? She didn't really have a brainy image early on, did she?
32AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:08
Probably picked it up from Soshina (her comedy duo partner), since he's into quizzes.
35AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:21
Whoa.
Is she starting to run short on money or something?
36AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:22
Re: #35
Makes no sense.
38AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:29
She's got her own namesake show and does commercials too — her annual income's probably in the tens of millions of yen.
41AnonymousOct 15, 2026 03:37
Ano-chan's loaded while her best friend Soshina is buried in debt — nice balance.
47AnonymousOct 15, 2026 04:04
I wonder how much gets taken out in taxes.
49AnonymousOct 15, 2026 04:12
Re: #47
Around 35%.
48AnonymousOct 15, 2026 04:10
Soshina, say something already.
51AnonymousOct 15, 2026 04:16
Re: #48
"She's so cute, isn't she~"
52AnonymousOct 15, 2026 04:17
Isn't this kind of prize money classified as 'miscellaneous income' for tax purposes?

Background and Key Points of This Story

“All-Star Thanksgiving Festival” is a live special where viewer-participation quiz segments determine the prize money, and some episodes include a “Gochi”-style segment where cast members guess the prices of items. In the thread, opinions split between those who felt that because Ano-chan’s win was so spectacular it must mean “the show is letting her win,” and those who chalked it up simply to her natural intelligence or to being sharpened by the influence of her comedy partner Soshina. Since she didn’t have much of a “smart character” image at her debut, plenty of reactions expressed surprise at how her persona had shifted. There was also speculation about taxes on the winnings, with guesses like “wouldn’t about 35% get deducted as miscellaneous income?” — though it’s worth noting the actual tax rate and income category depend on the nature of the prize and the contract involved, so the total she announced isn’t necessarily what she gets to keep.
