Popular Singer Soraru Appears as the First Wednesday Guest! Daisuke Namikawa Looks Exasperated at Taku Yashiro During "Useless or Not?" Challenge!

■"Useless or Not?" Challenge! "Testing With Soraru! Useless or Not Useless"

The next segment was "Testing With Soraru! Useless or Not Useless." This was prompted by a staff hypothesis that "everyone who stands on stage is a little useless," after Daisuke Namikawa and Taku Yashiro were sometimes called "useless" by viewers. Soraru was also included as a subject to test this theory. Soraru fired up saying, "This isn’t our fight, it’s staff vs. cast."

The first game, "Shiritorazu," saw Soraru make a mistake immediately after starting, which prompted reactions from Namikawa and Yashiro, but Soraru insisted, “That was a joke!” After resetting and starting over, Yashiro also made a mistake, leading Namikawa to exclaim with an exasperated look, “There’s a real useless person right here!” They tried again, succeeded, and the result was “Not Useless.”

In the next challenge, “Let’s Peel a Fish Sausage,” Soraru struggled and was judged “useless.” The final game, “Let’s Land the Toy on the Horizontal Bar,” was tough for all three participants, but Soraru managed to make the doll land successfully. Namikawa praised him, saying, “I’m impressed.” In the end, all three were certified “Not Useless,” clearing any suspicion.
