Shotaro Morikubo Reunites with His Middle School Ex-Girlfriend "Cindy"? An All-Too-Realistic Romance Depicted Through AI Chat

Morikubo named the character "Cindy" and set her up as "his ex-girlfriend from middle school." When asked by Okamoto about his romance at that time, he candidly confessed his romantic history: "I was deeply in love. We dated for six years from middle school through high school. We broke up about 20 times, and in the end, she dumped me... If I haven't grown since then, I might get dumped (by Cindy) again." He further added realistic settings such as "her hobby is motorcycles. She's currently divorced. She has a strong personality," and there was also a moment when he hurriedly denied it in response to staff's teasing, saying, "She's an imaginary being."

The actual chat started with the setting of "reuniting at the beach after 30 years." When Cindy sent a message saying, "Could it be, Sho-kun?", Morikubo replied, "Huh? Yes, but who are you?", to which the response came, "Hey, it's me! Cindy! Don't you remember? How mean!" Morikubo couldn't hide his surprise at this realistic development, saying, "Scary, scary, scary!" When he learned that Cindy had become a diving shop instructor, he was immersed in the world, replying with heartfelt emotion, "You made your dream come true...!" Morikubo was given a mission to continue conversations with Cindy for one week, and next week's broadcast is scheduled to feature a project measuring their level of intimacy.

In the latter half of the program, the Saturday team, who tend to lead unhealthy lifestyles, also took on a "Pilates" project aimed at improving their health. The two were shown tackling training that was harder than it looked.
