“Kodoku no Gourmet New Year’s Eve Special” starring Yutaka Matsushige came in second place.
There is less than one month left in 2023. On November 30th, TV Tokyo’s popular drama “Kodoku no Gourmet” announced that it would be broadcasting a New Year’s Eve special for the seventh consecutive year, and the year-end mood is starting to rise.
However, since 2021, the broadcast of Downtown’s “Don’t Laugh” series has been postponed, and the participation in “Kohaku” and the holding of “Koucon” have been canceled due to sexual assault issues at the former Johnny’s office. There are many conditions. Some viewers have complained that there is nothing to watch.
