[ZIP 27/3] Mito-chan x Tomoya special feature

Mito-chan met Nakamura Tomoya on NTV's Sukkiri around 4 years ago.

When Tomoya was asked who he'd like to have a meal with, he answered, "Miura-san."

Tomoya: She came in without makeup, and she looked really cute.

2020-Mito: OMG!
Tomoya: I want to see her eat lots of food.
2020-Mito: I'm so happy!

Tomoya: I want to feed her lots, so she'll be 3 times bigger than she is.

2020-Mito: This is not what I was expecting. I thought he was talking about a fancy French dinner.
NTV really dug up all their Tomoya and Mito-chan footage😂

Tomoya shared on Oshareism that he likes girls who are shy, when he gets to see a side of them that they don't show to anyone else, his heart skips a beat.
Mito-chan shared her views on marriage in 2021.

Mito: I'm a little worried. I wonder if it's okay for someone like me who wakes up at 2am to be a wife?

Mito says she'll think about marrying someone who's not sensitive, so he won't be disturbed by noises when she wakes up.
T/N: ZIP is a morning show which airs on weekdays from 5.50am to 8am.

Tomoya got Mito-chan's contact details through a mutual friend, which led to their relationship.

"She's like a spring breeze who brings color and peace into my life," he wrote in his Twitter.
Kazama: Was he awake this morning, when you woke up at 2am?

Mito: He woke up before me,
Kazama: Aww!

Mito: And he kept teasing me, saying, "Are you nervous? ARE YOU NERVOUS??"

Ukisho: Wha~? That's wonderful!!

T/N: Kishi & Ukisho were there to promote Sukisuki Wanwan
Kazama: Aww, so when you go back home today, he might tease you about how nervous you were during today's opening!

Mito: Maybe!

Mito says Tomoya makes her laugh with impressions and song parodies.

Mito: He only says serious stuff 1% of the time😅
Mito-chan says she's incredibly grateful for the well wishes from everyone.

Mito: I'll be sure to make him happy!

ZIP Family: Awesome!👏
Kishi & Ukisho are loving it!

Kishi: So cool!
Kazama: I'm sure he's thinking the same thing!
Fellow ZIP announcer Yamamoto Hiroyuki asked, "May I briefly call you Ms Spring Breeze?"

Mito: 😅Surprisingly, a lot of kouhai have replied me to say, "Oh, that's what he calls you?"

Mito-chan says they've barely been on dates, she looks forward to going on walks together.
Q: What were your thoughts when Nakamura-san first contacted you?

Mito: At first I thought he was an imposter! But when I asked him certain questions that I thought only he would know, I felt he might be the real person.
When Mito-chan first shared the news with her family, they were surprised.

Mito: They were hooked on his dramas, so they were like, "It's that guy!? Maa-kun??"

T/N: Maa-kun was the name of Tomoya's character in the NHK asadora, Hanbun Aoi.
In case you're wondering why Tomoya mentioned Suki Suki Wan Wan, it's probably because Kishi & Ukisho were at ZIP earlier to promote their drama, and Tomoya is a joker 99% of the time.

NTV interviewed former Junior Nagato Koji, who related his experience when he confided in his manager that he'd been sexually assaulted by Johnny Kitagawa.

Nagato: I told my manager, "I'm scared to see Johnny-san." I think he understood what it meant.

Interviewer: So you honestly confided in your manager? And what did they say?

Nagato: They said, "Don't talk about it here. Let's go over there." And we went to somewhere quiet. Then they said, "Why? Just do it. You know, you'd be able to go on a lot of shows."

Image

Image
Nagato: That manager was a nice person, someone who was friendly with me. I thought I could confide in them, but it turned out like this.

As a result, Nagato felt that he couldn't talk about this topic with anyone.

Nagato: It wasn't group hypnosis but it felt that way. Image

Kauan: I knew what would happen if I spoke out about it; I'd be unable to work, nothing else would change.
