Monday Late Show Episode 503

The first topic was about asking people for their kanji of the year. There are people who wrote "hole", "taro", "butt", "road" (to express Louis Vuitton), "break", "fall", "frog", "call", and "happiness". The hosts were also asked to write their kanji of the year. Murakami wrote "book" as he often read books for work, while Matsuko wrote "light" as he recently noticed lighting in the studio set. The next segment is the solving people's problems series, which includes a woman who wants to know why her brother gave her a maid costume for her birthday, a vending machine in Akihabara which describes products in a suggestive way, a man who wants to know whether it is still possible to straighten his teeth (feat. the dentist brothers from Ep. 323), and comedian Kato Ayumu who wanted to clean his father's full of trash house. After that is the "Yofukashi Freestyle Research", which included finding why some people are not watching the FIFA World Cup, why some people ran on the street and investigating certificates displayed in houses. Lastly, the hosts reacted to their fortune-telling results for next year. (Source: Griffin Seannery at kisskh)
