Amid the current “Idol Warring States Period,” where over 3,000 idol groups are competing fiercely, two groups that just debuted this year—fav me and Toi Toi Toi—joined in a three-show variety show battle, with no seniority distinction between them. With the popular comedy trio Party-chan and Okazu Club watching, they gave it their all in a pool. ■A storm of laughter during an out-of-season pool location shoot! “That’s crazy!” “Check the weather!” At the beginning of the show, MC Party-chan’s Suga-chan, the best, said, “We’ve gathered at a pool completely out of season!” The cast members all chimed in, “That’s crazy!” “It’s colder than I thought!” With the weather turning drenched in light rain, Suga-chan called out, “Feel free to complain!” The set quickly erupted in laughter. Meanwhile, Karen Abe of fav me confessed, “All of us at fav me are rain girls,” to which Party-chan’s Nobuko quickly retorted, “Bye-bye,” and Suga-chan chimed in, “Interact a little more!” They quickly showed off their well-coordinated banter with the comedians.

Viewers chime in as popular comedian makes unexpected idol debut During the self-introduction segment, fav me revealed the unusual setting of “everyone being in charge of visuals,” and Party-chan and Kyon-chi enthusiastically joined in, saying, “We’re in charge of light gray and big visuals!” Suga-chan quickly chimed in with, “That doesn’t exist!” From the start, there was a mix of humor and humour. Meanwhile, the Toi Toi Toi members, who are still new to variety shows, showed their innocence in full force. Hashimoto Moeka introduced herself as “the Tokyo Tower of the idol world,” and when asked “What color?” Hoshino Tina hastily added, “I’m in charge of cream yellow!”, drawing laughter. Furthermore, when Taniya Kyoka spoke about being “the mom of Toi Toi Toi” and Ichijo Kaori being “the dad,” Suga-chan muttered, “Just one…” and Okarina from Okazu Club then volunteered to be “the baby of Toi Toi Toi,” causing the audience to erupt in laughter. Her partner, Yui-P, praised her, saying, “You’re good at ad-libs!”, demonstrating the dignity of a 16-year career in the entertainment industry. Abema’s comments section was flooded with comments like, “Only one of them is big!” Image

The first match saw a spectacular turn of events, with Hashimoto Moeka and Okarina both falling at the same time. Ichijo Kaori, who held on until the end, also fell into the water, giving the fav me team the victory. There were a series of variety-show-worthy moments, such as when Ichijo fell with her hair disheveled, Yui P dubbed her “hair left behind!” In the next match, Sugachan exclaimed, “This is like the old torture!” as Toi Toi Toi’s Maegaki Sara desperately endured a near-head-first fall. After a fierce battle, the fav me team won two games in a row. During the “reward dance” for the winners, some members fell into the pool while dancing, but the comedians chimed in, yelling at the remaining five, “Just fall!” and “Think about the meaning of being swept away twice!” Viewers also flooded the comments section with comments like, “What kind of fall is that lol?”, “It’s a miracle!”, and “That’s so funny!”

When Onodera Azusa, who hates water, timidly entered the water feet-first, Sugachan couldn’t help but interject, “Is that a bathtub?” Yui-P chimed in, “It’s Not a Bath!”, erupting in laughter. ABEMA’s comments section was filled with reactions such as “It was a bath, lol,” and “It was so funny, time flew by.”
