Monday Late Show Episode 302

The first topic was investigating local issues in Japan. The problems included were the high number of Instagram users in Toyama, the perceived ugliness of Toyama dialect, and the high number of Russians in Toyama. The staff also did Murakami popularity survey among Russian women in Toyama. After that they checked on personal news of people in Shibuya. The staff found a woman who mugged in Africa, a woman who claimed that raising a parrot increased quality of life, and a man who is staying together with his friend and his ex-girlfriend. The staff also heard from two woman who said that Murakami never come to Kansai Johnny's Jr. performances. Matsuko then shared that he is considering to switch to a smartphone, but further discussion prompted a heated argument from both hosts. They then watched the "Yofukashi Freestyle Research". In the first research, they tested how will seniors react on a phone scam (featuring the old woman from Ep. 234, the Wakayama lady from Ep. 101, Chuo cap grandpa from Ep. 201) and testing hypnotism on impossible subjects (Mr. Koyata from Ep. 163 and the Chinpokan guide from Ep. 190). Lastly the hosts were asked to do a personality test by writing 3 animal names and the reason why they wrote it. (Source: Griffin Seannery at MyDramaList)
