The program also delved into Kawashima’s attitude towards his work. His manager described him as "The beloved hope of Aoni" and said, "His dedication to his craft is extraordinary." His vocational school mentor praised him as "Mr. Stoic," and "a bundle of curiosity." Kawashima himself spoke passionately about his approach to creating roles, such as his use of analysis notebooks and extensive notetaking on scripts. Seki expressed his admiration for this commitment to acting.

Kawashima explained, "I’m serious when it comes to acting! I feel like it’s okay to have fun on variety shows because I have that solid foundation." Seki playfully retorted, "Aren’t you complimenting yourself a bit too much? That’s for others to say about you!" and this lightened the mood in the studio even more.

Additionally, following his wife's comment that "He sees the essence of things without bias," Kawashima took on projects testing his perception, such as "Guess the Teacup" and "Guess Seki." He gave his all at distinguishing between teacups and identifying Seki's hand by touch, drawing laughter and interest from viewers.

Towards the end of the program, Kawashima was reunited after nearly two years with his former vocational school homeroom teacher, Mr. Fujisaki, through a live phone call. They shared anecdotes from his student days, making the 90-minute episode a memorable exploration of Kawashima’s "lovable character" and its roots. Viewers commented with impressions such as, "He really is loved," and, "His personality shines through."
