Look forward to the most terrifying night ever, presented on a scale only television can offer. The program can also be viewed on your PC or smartphone via “SKY PerfecTV! Program Streaming.” An archived version will also be available for one week after the broadcast. Interview –Please tell us your honest thoughts when you heard that the special program was being produced. Yoshii: I was so happy, and I felt that ghost stories were slowly spreading in this way. I felt that. Also, there’s a staff member who regularly listens to my ghost stories while producing this show. He’s involved in the production, and I was able to call him the day before recording to ask him about my ghost stories… This is the kind of program staff we have. I’ve never had such a wonderful staff before, so I feel very blessed and at the same time, I’m very happy with the environment I’m in. I thought.
–Looking back on the filming, how was it? Yoshii: First of all, Nakatsuka’s muscles are huge, and Shaku is so beautiful. What was impressive was that these two people told scary stories that they had actually experienced themselves. There was also a scene that really got me shivering, when a real cursed object appeared. Also, when someone was telling a ghost story, Nakatsuka-san would constantly quietly chime in. “Wow, I see.” “Yeah, my back hurts.” That was really good, so I hope you’ll pay attention to that as well. –This time, there was also some location filming. How was that? Yoshii: It was interesting. Taketo-san and Nishida Dorayaki-kun, who I’m always grateful to, went to a haunted spot. They went there, and the staff who accompanied us also felt something strange about the location… I think Taketo-san is probably the most timid out of all the members, but he worked hard on location for the sake of his juniors’ programs. I think he’s the most timid out of all the members this time, but he worked hard on location for the sake of his juniors’ programs. I think he’s probably … so I hope you’ll check out Taketo-san and
Nishida-kun in action. –Finally, please give a message to our viewers. Yoshii: The Toshi Boys, who I often work with, have heard many of Yase’s ghost stories. However, this time we heard the scariest story of all! And I’ve only ever talked about things I’ve only ever talked about live, We’re talking about some pretty bold topics, so there might even be pauses. And Shaku-san and Nakatsuka I think this is the only show where you’ll get to hear their scary stories, so please tune in!
