Yuichi Nakamaru (42), formerly of KAT-TUN, appeared on the November 25 broadcast of comedy duo Chidori’s Kansai local program “Aiseki Shokudo” (ABC TV). The program was titled “Restart Aiseki” and featured a VTR of a trip to Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture. The program has attracted attention outside of the Kansai region, as it is available on TVer after the broadcast. Yuichi Nakamaru’s shocking and hilarious “torso buried in the ground” scene in “Aisekishokudo ” “Aisekishokudo” is a popular program in which Daigo (45) and Nobu (45) of Chidori watch a VTR of a celebrity’s city tour in the studio and pause the VTR if something is bothering them. If they find something they like, they pause the VTR and make a comment. In August 2024, Bunshun Online reported that Nakamaru, who appeared on “Restart Aiseki,” was secretly meeting with a “college student who looked like Kanna Hashimoto” at APA Hotel. In January of the same year, he had just announced his marriage to Rina Sasazaki (33), a former announcer for Nippon Television Network Corporation, but he suspended his activities after the scandal, which was tantamount to adultery, was exposed. In January of this year, he announced the resumption of his activities, and from October 1, he became a Wednesday commentator on TOKYO MX’s information program “5:00 amu! an information program on TOKYO MX, from October 1, but he has not been able to return to his former regular programs. Nakamaru has yet to return to his former regular program, but in this episode of “Aiseki Shokudo,” he took on the physical challenge of filming on location in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture. The opening of the show suddenly started with Nakamaru on a sandy beach with only his head hanging out and his torso buried, to which Daigo exclaimed in the studio, “I can see your determination. He followed up on the report of his secret meeting with a female college student by saying that it was not a malicious act, “I just got caught,” (Daigo) and “I was just being a bit lively,” (Nobu). On the other hand, the tut-tutting accelerated as the location progressed, as Daigo noted that Nakamaru was dressed in a rough shirt and jeans and asked if he had lost his costume (staff) or something. When Nakamaru visited a popular local ramen restaurant, a young female staff member appeared. The owner of the restaurant interrupted Nakamaru’s question to the female staff member, “Do you have a favorite? Chidori responded, “The owner is from our office. We’re being shown the show” (Nobu) and “Is this shot by STARTO? (Nobu) and “Is this filmed at STARTO? Nakamaru also visited a farmer and observed him digging for sweet potatoes, a local specialty. And when you see the soil in front of you where the sweet potatoes are grown, you feel the earth. We must not forget that. The video changed to show Nakamaru’s body buried in the earth, with only his head sticking out, just as he had done on the beach in the opening scene. Incidentally, the person who buried Nakamaru on location was a female director from the KAT-TUN fan generation, known in the program as a “female burial artist. Chidori laughed out loud when Nobu asked the female director, “You’ll forgive (Nakamaru), won’t you? Daigo looked satisfied, saying, “Well, that’s what the world is saying.
