Zoom in

This month's Connect live broadcast was delivered from a "family restaurant," bringing together the Monthly MC, Kaito Ishikawa, and his former partner from his Wednesday MC days, Showtaro Morikubo. Within the program, they held the segment "A Loving Critique Dedicated to the Family!", where the participants exchanged honest feedback, possible only because they know each other so well.

For Ishikawa, feedback centered on his "overly perfect" points, with Morikubo advising, "Kaito, you score 100, 150, then aim for 180 next, right? It's okay to show some vulnerability. Try to enjoy relaxing more." Ishikawa responded instantly, "If I could, I'd go for 1,000 points," but shared that in terms of relaxation, "After I get home, I immediately open up some alcohol, connect YouTube on Chromecast and watch, or, this week, I watch the Connect broadcasts while drinking alone."

However, Morikubo commented, "Even that story has no gaps!" and continued his critique, "I thought I'd hear something sloppier, but you start talking about fancy things like Chrome-something!" Ishikawa retorted, "You're overreacting to anything in English! That's your inner old man coming out!"

Kaneda also shared her thoughts, saying, "Take care of your own heart" and "I'm worried you might be pushing yourself too hard," to which Ishikawa joked, "I've decided to always carry Daisuke Namikawa in my heart," leading to a warm and friendly conversation.

Additionally, Ishikawa honestly critiqued his senior, Morikubo, saying, "You have so few NGs (off-limits things) that it's hard for me to tell you mine when we work together. Also, when you pull off things others think are difficult without fuss, think about how that makes me feel!" He continued, "Thanks to that, I get to see a lot of new sights and I enjoy it, but I feel so frustrated with myself when I can't do the same. If a senior doesn't say no, juniors can't either!" Laughter echoed in the studio at this comment, and Morikubo responded sincerely, "I'm really sorry about that. It's true that since I personally have no NGs, I end up making my co-stars worry about what to do."

Furthermore, as a critique for Kaneda, Sobii revealed, "You said you'd improve based on your previous partners' advice and start bringing the script with you! But you didn’t bring it on the day!" thus exposing the "script-bringing scam." Throughout the show, frank exchanges of criticism continued, making it a harmonious yet very lively Connect Week.
