What people said
it's going a little too smoothly.
She's the prize money queen — honestly, by today's standards even a winner's prize of like 3 million yen would be fine.
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.
she wouldn't be in the position she's in now
well, she's just got incredible luck.
her Starbucks coffee must taste even better.
Okumura Udon (a comedian known for his money-shock bit): "HAAAAA?! Feel the weight of an unsuccessful comedian's 990,000 yen!!"
Is she starting to run short on money or something?
Makes no sense.
Around 35%.
"She's so cute, isn't she~"
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.
