Monday Late Show Episode 152

The first topic was investigation of names. There was a proposal to change the name of Shiga Prefecture to Omi Prefecture, so they showed examples of successful and unsuccessful name changes. Matsuko then discussed more about naming issues, with names like Nittere (colloquial name of Nippon TV) and Kanjani 8 were described as lame. Next they investigated about nicknames from people on the streets. Some were simply a short form of the family names, while some got nicknames from their body features. After that they showed some alternative concert venues, as main concert venues in Japan were having renovations for the 2020 Olympic Games. The hosts were later informed that the show was entering their fourth year. For the last topic, they listened to various train station melodies from Osaka Line and Yamanote Line then commented on it.
