A thread titled “Talents who’ve completely disappeared from TV” popped up on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, with names like Rola, Angerme, and Yakkun Sakurazuka coming up one after another. The discussion centered on how former stars have vanished from terrestrial TV while shifting their careers to CS/BS satellite shopping channels, citing Hideki Takahashi and the married couple Hayato Tani and Kikko Matsuoka as specific examples. For posts like the one about Panther Ogata — “He even had his own show on NHK, but then he just disappeared” — opinion was split on whether it came down to his own career choices or circumstances on the network’s side.

In a YouTube video posted on September 21, comedian Hanawa ordered the “ryōmen-yaki” (seared on both sides) gyoza — a well-known “secret menu” order at the Chinese restaurant chain Gyoza no Ohsho — and the clip drew a big reaction. On the 5ch Geinou Sports Hōchi+ thread, some posters said they’d never heard of this ordering trick and wanted to try it themselves, while others said they didn’t notice any difference in taste, and still others pointed out differences in flavor and vegetable sourcing between Gyoza no Ohsho and the similarly named “Osaka Ohsho” chain — sparking a wider debate about the “Ohsho” chains.

Comedian Kano Eikou revealed on an October 3 radio broadcast that L’Arc-en-Ciel’s hyde had invited him out to eat. Kano is known for having one of the most severe allergy profiles in Japanese show business — at its peak, he tested positive for 154 different allergens — and hyde reportedly asked him, “Is Chinese food okay?” out of concern. The confession sparked debate on 5ch over how much allergy information diners should realistically disclose to restaurants. Some argued “there’s no way you can list all of that,” while others countered that “once you factor in cross-reactivity, confirming everything verbally is basically impossible” — reactions to the number 154 varied widely.

On Saturday, October 3, the radio program “Sandwichman the Radio Show Saturday” (Nippon Broadcasting, every Saturday 1-3 PM), hosted by comedy duo Sandwichman’s Date Mikio and Tomizawa Takeshi, aired as usual. With Date still out recovering, solo comedian Kano Eikou once again filled in as guest.

On the show, Kano revealed that he’d been invited out to eat by one of his idols, L’Arc-en-Ciel’s hyde. Kano, who has one of the most extreme allergy profiles in the entertainment industry — at his peak testing positive for a staggering 154 allergens — said hyde even asked him, “Is Chinese food okay for you?” out of concern.

You should ask 'What allergens are in this?' specifically —
if you just ask 'What's in this?' the chef is obviously going to assume you're asking about flavor ingredients.

Re: #7
That works fine for one or two allergies, but Kano's dealing with this:
once you factor in cross-reactivity, the list gets so massive that verbal confirmation becomes basically impossible.

Re: #63
This is about food, don't pad the count with hay fever or house dust mites.
Just stick to the 9 mandatory + 20 recommended allergens.

On Yomiuri TV’s new show “News to” (the successor to Miyaneya, premiering 10/5), panelist Peco admitted she has no experience with cashless payments, revealing “I buy a ticket every single time I take the train” — prompting her co-stars to scold her, half-exasperated. On 5ch, many commenters sympathized (“I’m team paper ticket too”), while others pushed back against the co-stars who lectured her, calling it “just trying to flex.” The thread split over who’s actually the odd one out.

The national box office rankings for October 2-4 were released, and Haruna Kawaguchi’s true-story drama “Even If Mom Is No Longer in This World: My Life’s Diary” debuted at No. 1. Based on the memoir of a young woman who died of colon cancer, the film earned 440 million yen in its first three days. Steven Spielberg’s new film “Disclosure Day” came in second. On 5ch, one thread saw comments like “terminal-illness films reliably hit no matter who makes them,” while discussion also heated up comparing attendance with other films released around the same time — including the 14th-place debut of Haruna Ayase’s “First Voice.”

The top 10 national box office rankings for October 2-4 were released by Eiga Tsushinsha (Movie Report Co.), and Haruna Kawaguchi’s starring film “Even If Mom Is No Longer in This World: My Life’s Diary” debuted at No. 1.

The film is based on the memoir of Nodoka Endo, whose story drew attention after being featured in the “Wedding Trip” segment of Nippon TV’s variety show “The 100 Million People’s Big Question!? Warattekoraete!” (lit. “Laugh and Bear It!”). Diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer at 21, Nodoka — the protagonist, played by Kawaguchi as the eldest daughter of the Kushibiki family — never lets go of her love for her husband Shoichi and their child right up until she passes away at 24. Mahiro Takasugi plays Shoichi. The director is Yuki Yamato, known for “Drowning Knife” (“Obareru Naifu”). The film earned 440 million yen in its opening three days.

TV personality Allen appeared on TV Tokyo’s late-night show “Jikkuri Kiite Taro” on the 4th, and during a “girls’ talk” segment with hostesses from cabaret clubs, brought up the topic of women one-upping each other on social media. Referring to ordinary users, Allen remarked on people posting photos of purchases or scenic spots on Instagram and X: “What’s even the point of that? You’re not even a celebrity.” The comment sparked discussion on 5ch’s Entertainment/Sports News+ board. In the thread, many pushed back, pointing out that social media originally spread as a platform for ordinary people’s self-expression, with celebrities only joining later, while others noted that men also one-up each other with cars and watches — opinions were split over the remark itself.</lede>

TV personality Allen, known as “Allen-sama,” appeared on TV Tokyo’s late-night show “Jikkuri Kiite Taro – Stars’ Secret Updates” (airing Sunday nights at 2:20 AM) on the 4th. He talked about a type of behavior by women on social media that he “absolutely hates.”

The episode was titled “No Sugarcoating Allowed! Women’s Girls’ Talk on Their Dark Honest Feelings,” featuring well-known cabaret hostesses. On the topic of “Do women one-up each other?” Allen-sama declared, “Oh, constantly!” He went on: “Like on Instagram or X — everyone posts stuff they bought, or takes pictures at pretty, photogenic spots. What’s even the point of that? You’re not even a celebrity.”

Kouto Wakai, guitarist of Mrs. GREEN APPLE, will take on his first lead drama role in a live-action adaptation of “Ninja Hattori-kun,” according to a Bunshun report. The band will perform the theme song, with vocalist Genki Ohmori also making a cameo appearance. Wakai has actually been active as a TV personality for two and a half years already, hosting a music program, but many thread commenters said they were only finding out about it today. Reactions were split between those questioning the point of a live-action adaptation or struggling to tell Wakai and Ohmori apart, and those describing the band’s expansion into dramas and signature TV shows as going the “idol agency route” toward becoming a “national group,” versus others puzzled about who was even asking for this.

The world truly belongs to Mrs. GREEN APPLE right now. They’ve got their own TV show, they’re branching into acting, and now one member has even landed his first lead drama role…

On October 4, actress Hirose Alice (31) posted on X that she’s decided to call her devoted fans who follow her every move “weirdos,” sparking a huge reaction with 1.369 million impressions. The humor-filled post, capped off with a grateful “Thanks for sticking with me until today, and please keep it up,” was largely welcomed on 5ch’s Geinou Sports Express+ board as an “affectionate nickname,” though some posters critiqued the naming sense itself, compared it to other famous fan nicknames, and brought up differences with her younger sister, actress Hirose Suzu — making it a topic people took in very different ways.

On the October 4 broadcast of TBS’s “Sunday’s Hatsumimigaku,” singer Kaori Mochida revealed that her friend of 20 years, actress Haruka Ayase, rode off into the night on a LUUP electric scooter and “just zipped away.” On 5ch threads, posters expressed surprise that an actress would ride this kind of vehicle at all, along with worries about falls or drunk driving, while other comments pointed out the regional gap — that LUUP is concentrated in urban areas and still hasn’t spread to the countryside. Plenty of comments also praised Ayase’s acting skills.

Ten days after Mourinho declared that “players shouldn’t ride bicycles — it’s a matter of professionalism,” Kylian Mbappé, currently away from the France squad with a left knee injury, set tongues wagging by posting a selfie video of himself cycling to his Instagram Story. Footballers are often contractually barred from cycling due to injury risk, and on 5ch the discussion ranged from “wouldn’t a stationary bike do?” and “road biking is risky even solo” to comparisons with other sports, like F1 drivers being banned from skiing.

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has stirred up buzz after sharing a cycling video.

Mbappé, who withdrew from the France national team due to a left knee injury, has yet to rejoin Real Madrid and is recovering on his own. Amid that, on the 4th, he posted a video to his Instagram Story that drew attention.

Mbappé shared selfie footage of himself riding a bicycle. While riding, he skillfully used one hand to film his own face, wearing a helmet, along with the bike.
