| Mei Nagano (along with Yosuke Sugino) Shines in Bananaman Sekkaku Gourmet! |
Doing the promotional circuit for their drama “Unicorn Ni Notte”, actress Mei Nagano and actor Yosuke Sugino appeared on the fun and genki foodie show “Bananaman Sekkaku Gourmet” back in 2022, and while not as wild as some other episodes have gotten, Mei was beyond charming and shows once again why we love her so much!
The set-up for the Gotcha Gourmet segment is usually where they’ll have two celebrities go to some town and, inquiring with the locals, get recommendations for the “local take” on what’s popular there.
The town this time was Kumagaya, and of all the restaurants and eateries they could have been given a heads up on, ended up being a sushi bento place, a VERY small establishment named Shodan Sushi which was already closing for the day and had to retain a few of their signature bentos for the arriving stars!
WELL, not sure how much hubbub can be made over bentos, though they DID look delicious (and MAN were those inari sushis HUGE!), but WOWOWOW, was Mei stunning eating it!!!
REALLY, she gives off such a smart, professional vibe that even posing with the food for the cameras, each shot looked like they could have used it as real promotional posters and ads! I mean, look: Doesn’t this make you want to pay a visit to the bento place right off??? Heck, makes ME want to run right down there NOW! LOLOLOL
Sugino himself seemed pretty subdued throughout the show, but he looked like he was enjoying himself enough, who wouldn't? HAHAHA
The Bananaman show has really been getting some great guests over the past year- every time the studio needs to promote a new drama, some of the stars from the show will always inevitably appear here...Hope to see more!
