The special broadcast celebrating "Happy Birthday Shotaro Morikubo Drive Talk SP" took place. As Morikubo waited outside the studio, Ishikawa made a swift entrance in a HiAce. Right away, Ishikawa and the program presented a gift to Morikubo. Opening a large gift box loaded on the truck bed, Ishikawa said, "Since you mentioned decluttering last time, we've prepared lots of friends to liven up your empty room for the 51-year-old Morikubo," and gifted him a large stuffed animal. Morikubo couldn't help but quip, "That's huge! Do you even understand the meaning of decluttering!?"

After that, Ishikawa gave a serious gift. A bottle of wine from the year Morikubo's agency, Add9th, was established was presented, to which Morikubo exclaimed, "You're truly amazing! Thank you!" with great excitement. Furthermore, he revealed, "Right after midnight, Kaito was the first to contact me! Kaito was far and away the first! I was so happy..." showcasing their close friendship.
