Monday Late Show Episode 534

Matsuko asked the audience whether there were any real Murakami fans since the entrance scream level was unusual. Apparently, most of them put him as their third favorite artist. The first segment was about personal news from cities under intense heat, which included a woman who stayed outside despite the heat because she did not want to see her husband’s face, a ramen shop owner who used baby powder to combat the heat, and a man who floated on the river to stay away from heat. Murakami then shared a story when he spotted the only fan who carried an uchiwa of his face during a concert in Fukui. After that, they moved to the segment where foreigners were asked to name a Japanese entertainer who might be popular based on their face. According to Brazilians, Murakami is popular because he seems to be good at talking, but in fact, the staff cut some of the footage, which said that Murakami’s face is cool. Lastly, the staff checked on the “last stops” of the drinking bars area in Ueno, Koenji, Asakusa, and Nishikawaguchi to see how most drunk people ended up in those bars, which gave them a reputation of “last stop” bars. Interestingly, the owner of the so-called “last stop” bar in Nishikawaguchi is the same person who crashed into a fenced empty lot in Ep. 281. (Source: Griffin Seannery at MyDramaList)
