Monday Late Show Episode 297

The first topic was a documentary of Yocchan (Ep. 251), where the staff visited his house and asked questions about his private life. He showed his life graph, shared that he was homeless for quite some time, and showed his shopping habits. He also showed his very particular way to prepare and eat instant noodles. The hosts then reacted to a study which found a way to eat pasta without gaining weight. Matsuko dismissed the study and said that the only cause of someone become overweight is eating too much. They then interviewed people who just went to Tokyo for the first time. Among the people interviewed, they found people unsatisfied with Hachiko statue, a group of students who wanted to go to Starbucks, a teenager from Beijing who liked Murakami but cannot find him in billboards, and visited the "Tokyo newcomer" woman from Ep. 155. Lastly, the hosts were asked to do a personality test by writing two four-character idioms they can think of. The idioms are believed to be the outlook of life from the writer. Murakami wrote "praying on deaf ears" and "betrayed by everyone", while Matsuko wrote "feast" and "pandemonium". (Source: Griffin Seannery at MyDramaList)
