# 深夜#341 おまけ「滑川イベント、今のところ五分五分です！」 - Show: さらば青春の光がTaダ、Baカ、Saワギ - Published: 2026-10-10 - Canonical: https://podc.club/en/episode/1646957712_0d560c1321d3.html - Audio: https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/TBS8051341975.mp3 - Source: Edited from a machine transcript of the first 30 minutes of the episode. Not an official summary. The episode opens with a two-month-old ETSY order for a City of God T-shirt stuck at a DHL hub and going nowhere, before shifting to the main debate: whether to hold a solo live show in Namerikawa (滑川), Toyama Prefecture. Despite near-perfect logistical conditions secured by TBS Radio's business division, the members can barely muster a response, leaving the event at a genuine 50/50. ## What this episode answers ### Why hasn't the T-shirt bought on ETSY arrived after more than two months? Tracking information strongly suggests the package is sitting idle at a DHL hub, and repeated exchanges with the seller's AI chatbot have failed to move things forward. ### What are the conditions at the Namerikawa venue? The community-hall-style venue offers very low rent and no cancellation fee as long as notice is given in advance — and unlike Tokyo, bookings are available with just one month's lead time. ### Why can't the members get excited about the Namerikawa event? The members feel lukewarm at best, and paradoxically, the fact that everything has gone too smoothly makes it feel suspicious; with no conflict or obstacle to overcome, there is no story to build around the event. ### How is TBS Radio's business division handling the situation? The division sent a representative to the studio on recording day to present their venue research, but with no go-ahead from the members the project remains in limbo, and the division is simply waiting. ### What kind of cooperation are they asking from listeners? Listeners are asked to send an email with a clear reason either for or against holding the event — specific local knowledge such as 'Namerikawa gets heavy snow that time of year' is especially welcome, and emails that merely say 'either way is fine' are not needed. ## Article ## The ETSY T-Shirt That Has Been Missing for Two Months The episode opens with a complaint about a *City of God* T-shirt purchased on ETSY, the overseas shopping platform, that has failed to arrive more than two months after the order was placed. Tracking information shows the package stuck at a DHL hub with no movement, and back-and-forth exchanges with the seller's AI chatbot have done nothing to resolve the situation. Shibata (柴田) ends up volunteering to contact DHL directly on the buyer's behalf. The discussion frames ETSY alongside sites like Alibaba and Temu, flagging the risk of shopping on overseas platforms as a broader concern. ## A Declaration to Handle All Industry Grievances Spinning out from the ETSY frustration, a broader venting of media-industry grievances follows. Topics touched on include unwanted advances toward female staff members, operational mismanagement, unpaid TV prize money, outstanding performance fees, and restaurant tabs left unpaid. Shibata declares himself available as a kind of one-stop complaints desk — "whatever it is, just let us know" — and the conversation takes on the cheerful, catch-all energy of an open floor. ## The Namerikawa Live: Perfect Conditions, Zero Enthusiasm The main topic of the episode is a debate over whether to hold a solo live show in Namerikawa City (滑川市), Toyama Prefecture. On recording day, a representative from TBS Radio's business division came to the studio to present the results of a venue search. The news was objectively good: a community-hall-style facility with remarkably cheap rent and no cancellation fee as long as they give advance notice. Unlike Tokyo venues, which are booked out six months to a year ahead, Namerikawa can accommodate a booking with just one month's lead time. The members' response to all of this was a flat "yeah, sure." From the business division's perspective, having done all the legwork only to receive that level of enthusiasm was visibly deflating. It was also noted that if the event goes ahead, Shibata would effectively be running it on his own. The option of pencilling in an April date and cancelling close to the time was floated, but concerns about clashing with their solo tour and stand-up comedy scheduling meant no date was actually confirmed. ## "There's No Story" — An Unusual Problem The reason enthusiasm refuses to ignite, the members explain, is that the path is simply too easy. Normally, an event earns its energy by overcoming obstacles — a prohibitive venue cost, an impossible schedule, a reluctant business division. When everything falls into place without a fight, the whole thing starts to feel suspicious. "A documentary director would be panicking right now because nothing's gone wrong," one of them observes. "If we got an angry email telling us to call the whole thing off, we'd be fired up." The ideal scenario, described half-jokingly, would be to bulldoze through loud opposition and then, on the day itself, say: "Look at those people who told us not to — bet their faces are red now." Without that friction, the story doesn't write itself, and the motivation refuses to come. A thread of suspicion toward the business division also runs through the discussion. The members can't quite shake the feeling that terms this favorable must come with a hidden catch — that it might end up squeezing their solo tour budget down the line. "We'd like to build a bit more trust first" was the cautious stance taken. ## Currently 50/50 — Waiting on Listener Feedback The debate ends where it began: unresolved. "Right now it's a crossroads — genuinely 50/50" is how the situation is summed up. The business division is waiting; the members freely admit that nothing will move unless they make the first step. Progress reports will continue in coming weeks. Listeners are being called on to help tip the scales, but with one condition: any email should include a *clear reason*, for or against. Practical local knowledge — "Namerikawa gets heavy snow that time of year" — is especially welcome. Emails that amount to "I don't mind either way" were explicitly deemed unhelpful. The episode also closes with a quiet suggestion that insider accounts of TBS Radio's business division would not go unappreciated. ## Takeaways - The Namerikawa venue offers ideal conditions — cheap rent and free cancellation — but the members' lack of enthusiasm leaves the event at a genuine 50/50 with no confirmed date. - The paradox driving their hesitation is that everything has gone too smoothly: without conflict or obstacles to overcome, there is no story, and the members say they would actually be more motivated if someone pushed back. - Listeners are invited to send emails with a concrete reason for or against holding the event, and the team will continue to share updates in coming weeks.
