Sakaguchi “The setting of the program, ‘Smile Gang”’
Yamane: What is this (laughs)?
Nana Mizuki: “We’re a group that makes everyone smile, but we also do bad things (laughs). Because we do stupid things, such as playing table tennis while swinging horse mackerels around.”
Yamane: Horse mackerel!?
Mizuki: It’s like, what’s the most suitable racket (laughs). Yamane: “Is it bad? (laughs)”
Sakaguchi: Mizuki-san is the head of the Smile Gang, and Misato Fukuen is the deputy head.
Yamane: (Fukuen-san) often follows you (laughs).
Mizuki: When the show started, she was in her early twenties. Normally, young girls would put on cute shows, right?

Mr. Mizuki answered the question, “Please tell us if there is a project that ‘was difficult’ among the more than 1000 broadcasts.”
Mizuki: The section is renewed every year or two. Among them, there was the “Sumagyang Ijinkan”. I was told that the first episode was about Prince Shotoku, and that (information about Prince Shotoku) is not in the script! I was dumped, and from there I was told that I had to speak as Prince Shotoku.
Yamane: “Why would you do such a harsh thing (laughs)?”
Mizuki: It was really difficult! That was the toughest.”
Yamane: (If I were you) I would say ‘Let’s stop’ at the planning meeting (laughs).
Sakaguchi: Other than Prince Shotoku?
Mizuki: “Cleopatra, etc. Various great people from around the world appear. In fact, it is said that “Sumagyan Ijinden” was well received and received a great response. In addition to this, he also talked about the “punishment game” that is customary in the program. For details, please check the time-free function of radiko.
