[Monthly with Hikari Onii-san♪/Program report]Birthday special project! Delving deep into Hikaru Midorikawa's private life through a loving live phone call with fans, his sweet lines will melt your ears! ? “Back Hug Championship” will also be held

This episode started with Midorikawa calling out, “Monthly with Hikari Papa.” The comment section was confused, wondering why the title was different, but then a smiling Midorikawa greeted the audience with, “Yes, good evening! It's Hikari Papa.” The reason for the different title was actually a request from a viewer who had placed first in the gift ranking two episodes ago. There were requests for multiple situations, but “Papa” was chosen given his age.

And then Midorikawa said, “Speaking of age, I'm now 56 years old.” On the day of her birthday, many congratulatory messages were sent on social media, and her office also received a lot of fan mail, so she said with a big smile, “I was so happy.”

Here, I received a birthday present from the program! What he was given was a Gundam Zero Custom plastic model. It's a rare item, and you'll wonder, “Isn't this an old one?” I was surprised when I tried opening it. Included was an interview booklet in which Midorikawa talked about his love for plastic models when he was younger. The staff didn't seem to know either, and after asking several times, “Did you buy this by chance? Is it something else?'', Midorikawa was surprised again and said, “That's a rare coincidence!''

To celebrate Midorikawa's 56th birthday, “Birthday Special Project: Live LINE Call with Hikaru Onii-san” has begun! This is a project that fans will love, as it will be their first live call in a year. “It's been a year, I wonder if everyone is doing well?” Midorikawa seems excited.

We immediately made a live phone call to the fans who were selected by lottery. Fans can't hide their excitement at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After Midorikawa talks about his favorite characters, etc., a question is asked, “What domestic tourist destinations does Midorikawa recommend?'' After thinking about it carefully, I thought, “I guess I don't go out because I'm lazy…'' and then unexpectedly answered, “Well, I guess not…'' Midorikawa was a little scared, saying, “Recommendations come with a lot of responsibility!'', but after seeing the comments, he remembered how good his hometown is in Tochigi, and said, “Tochigi is great, if you have a chance, please go there.'' ” I was able to recommend it without any problem.

The second fan who won the right to make a live call asked an interesting question: “What is your daily routine?” “My lower back wasn't feeling well, but it's gradually getting better.That's why I've recently started doing Hatsune Miku's fit boxing.I'm doing it little by little without overdoing it,'' she says kindly. Another favorite is the app “RYUKIN.” Midorikawa seems happy, saying, “I watch it all the time. It's soothing,'' but he says, “I'm looking for various content to provide comfort to my fans from a variety of angles,'' which is typical of Midorikawa's dedication to his fans.

A third fan requested, “I want to see Midorikawa-san playing with a stuffed animal!'' and she enthusiastically replied, “I haven't brought one lately, so maybe I should try it again sometime.'' How did you spend your time before and after the “Tochitere☆Anime Festa” event held the other day? When asked, he said, “I had some time until the ending, so I looked around, and I ended up talking to people and shaking hands with people who had seen Hikaru Midorikawa released into the wild.'' “I wanted to eat something, but there were so many people there. I bought it at a bakery I've been to in Tokyo and ate it. I wish I had gone to a place that made gyoza or something.” It will be.

When the winner of the last live phone call asked, “What was your most memorable part-time job?'', he immediately answered, “Kentucky!'' “When I was working part-time, biscuits were introduced to the menu, but we didn't know how to make them, so we all had to do some trial and error,'' he says with fond memories.

With this, the live broadcast project sadly came to an end. During the conversation, fans congratulated her on her birthday, and Midorikawa seemed to enjoy it, saying, “It's nice to be told happy birthday no matter how old you are.”

And after this, we move on to the paid part. We will decide the number one line that fans would like Midorikawa to say while giving them a back hug. Don't miss out on this chance to enjoy plenty of sweet lines that will melt your ears.

The next episode will be broadcast on Tuesday, June 25th. Be sure to check it out!
