The studio is thrilled by the unexpected thaw between Yamamoto and former “MIST” member Rei! Yashiki, New York: “This was the most tear-jerking video I’ve seen in recent years.” In episode 12, airing on Tuesday, September 16th, actor Yamamoto Yusuke takes a trial shift at a host club to find out if a handsome celebrity could actually make money working there. This is the final chapter of our signature series, “Yamamoto Yusuke Becomes a Host.” We follow him closely as he works at a host club for a trial shift. In this episode, Yamamoto, along with his host mentor, “God of War,” Kokorominato Kazuki, have been working to rebuild the host club “MIST,” which was forced to close due to poor business, by renovating the newly opened club, “SiVAH.” This final chapter brings us to the second half of a joint operation with three host clubs, “LiTA” and “Lillion,” where Yamamoto trained in previous seasons. The joint operation features top-tier hosts, including Yamamoto’s biggest rival, Bakugeki Ryuma, and promising rookie JIN from “LiTA,” and Noah and Ibuki Shun, who are most trusted by the war gods, from “Lillion.” By the God of War’s command, Bakugeki Ryuma and “SiVAH’s” serious (serious) Minato were paired to serve customers, and upon witnessing Bakugeki Ryuma’s skills, Serious Minato exclaimed in admiration, “As expected. Bakugeki Ryuma is no joke.” Meanwhile, Yamamoto will once again be paired with “SiVAH’s” veteran host, Rei, with whom he had difficulty meshing well in the first half of the show. The two were growing increasingly impatient with each other due to the awkward distance between them, but Rei showed a clearly different attitude than before, actively picking up on Yamamoto’s conversation and following up on it. Yamamoto, who had livened up the group chat and got his first nomination as a pair with Rei, exclaimed in relief, “That’s great…I’m so glad!” Yamamoto and Rei then continued to drink again (a real nomination from the first round), and then at another table, they charmed the princesses (=customers) with their perfectly coordinated service. They even got an order for champagne, and the two showed off their incredible performance, which drew cheers from the studio MCs, who exclaimed, “That’s so hot!” and “What a divine development!” And after closing, Yamamoto told Rei and Honki Minato, “I may never be able to become like Ryoma, Noah, Shun, and JIN, but if I just look at today, the time I spent with you two was just as fun as the time I spent with them. I was happy.” Rei expressed his gratitude, saying, “Not everything makes sense. But if I don’t change, the people below won’t change either,” and “I’m grateful.” Yamamoto couldn’t help but confess his true feelings, saying, “It was really tough” as he watched Rei’s change after continuing to resist the store’s reforms. Yamamoto then exchanged warm handshakes with Minato and Rei…!? In the studio, former figure skater and talent Mai Asada and cosplayer Enako were guests, creating a frenzy as Yamamoto and Rei thawed. New York’s Yashiki commented, “This was the most tear-jerking video I’ve seen in recent years,” and Enako excitedly remarked, “When I saw the final scene (with Yamamoto and Rei), I was surprised to see such tsundere people still around in the Reiwa era.”

During the studio talk, the topic of “Enako’s amazing birthday present” came up. As the audience gasped in amazement at the photo of Enako surrounded by a plethora of presents, Enako said, “People who came to my birthday event gave them to me,” “about 600 people.” She also shared a surprising anecdote, saying, “Every year I do a live stream of me opening presents, but this year it took about seven hours.” She also revealed why her latest photobook, which is being talked about as having the “smallest amount of fabric in Enako’s history,” is a “barely-there swimsuit photobook” rather than cosplay. “I’ve only released cosplay photobooks, so I want to release a normal one,” Enako said. “During the preparation stage, the editorial staff and my manager thought it would be a normal gravure photobook, so they prepared normal swimsuits for me. I said, ‘This isn’t it,’ and had them all changed, and said, ‘This is what I want to do.'” She revealed that she herself wanted to be photographed in risque outfits. Meanwhile, Asada is currently devoted to ballroom dancing. She revealed her results in domestic competitions, saying, “I competed in the waltz and tango divisions at Japanese competitions, and placed third in one and fourth in the other.” She also announced that she will be taking on the world stage, saying, “I’m going to the world competition in October.” Furthermore, regarding the attention her swimsuit photos often receive on social media, Asada said, “I’ll post private photos on Instagram.” When the MCs asked, “Who did you go with?” about the swimsuit photos taken in the spectacular scenery, Asada replied, “I went with my sister and she took the photos,” revealing that it was her younger sister, Mao Asada, who was the photographer. The MCs were surprised by the unexpected truth, saying, “Mao took the photos!?” and “Mao is good at taking photos!” Image

The program also aired a long-term, close-up segment, “Marriage-Hunting Actresses: Why I Can’t Get Married,” in which four sexy actresses register with a dating agency and begin serious marriage hunting. The segment followed the matchmaking of 34-year-old former sexy actress Shibuya Kaho and 41-year-old veteran sexy actress Oda Mako, who has been acting for 16 years. Shibuya, who is trying out matchmaking with her third man, begins to reexamine herself through her search for a partner. Meanwhile, Oda, who says, “The most important condition is that he accepts my work,” faces a lingering distrust of men due to her past betrayals and the harsh reality of finding a partner in her 40s. What will the outcome be for Oda’s search for a partner…? Studio guests included sexy actress Hibiki Otsuki and former sexy actress and businesswoman Kizuna Sakura. They watched the sexy actresses’ matchmaking with solemn expressions. The original broadcast is currently available for free catch-up streaming on “ABEMA.” Be sure to check it out.
