Question from a reader:
I want to know more about what Egashira did to Nagano Mei. Please tell me what happened.
Egashira and Nagano Mei’s Incident
Recently, there was a scene on TV where Egashira interacted with Nagano Mei, and it was incredibly memorable. True to his usual “outspoken” character, Egashira started off by telling Anmika, “Let me touch your chest!”
which left everyone in shock. Anmika seemed genuinely scared, and it was amusing to see New York protect her.
Interaction with Nagano Mei
After that, Egashira turned his attention to Nagano Mei, calling out, “Nagano!” This led to a thrilling and nerve-wracking development. Egashira made some playful facial expressions and lunged at her, which clearly overwhelmed Nagano. The way she ran away to the highest point was almost like a scene from an action movie. As Egashira chased after her, it was striking to see Nagano hiding her face with her hands, trying not to look. You could feel how genuinely scared she was, and it made viewers tense up as well. Even when Egashira called out “Nagano!” she avoided looking, and despite Imada’s reassurance of “It’s okay!” it was still frightening for her.
Viewers’ Concern and Relief
When the commercial break ended, viewers were worried, wondering, “Is Nagano Mei okay…?” But when she finally reacted positively to Egashira, it was a relief. It felt like her usual cheerful self returned, which was comforting. However, during the second challenge when Egashira called out to her again, the staff had to step in with a “no-go,” creating an awkward atmosphere, which was a bit unfortunate. Watching this, I realized how challenging it is behind the scenes of variety shows. The mix of Egashira’s antics and Nagano’s reactions created a moment filled with both laughter and tension. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, but that’s what makes variety shows so interesting—these unpredictable developments. Finally, if anyone has experienced similar incidents, I would love to hear about it in the comments! It would be great to know what scenes left a lasting impression on you.
