おぎやはぎ最新語・流行させたい語大賞#203

Three Nominated Words from the October 8 Broadcast

This is episode 203 of 'Ogiyahagi Saishingo / Ryukosasetai-go Taisho' on Mokuyo JUNK Ogiyahagi no Megane Biiki (木曜JUNK おぎやはぎのメガネびいき). TBS announcer Sasaki Maone hosts the segment, presenting listener-nominated words and phrases. This round pulls three entries from the October 8 broadcast — the week after the show's 20th-anniversary event.

Nomination ① 'Honnani'

Nominated by listener radio name 'Shiny Shine' (airtime: around 2:27 a.m.). During the bulletin-board email corner, Yagyu (矢作) read a listener's message calling out to a beautiful woman he had met at the anniversary event and inviting her to DM his SNS account. The instant he finished reading, Yagyu said, 'Honnani bijyo ga ippai iru ka' — blending the standard Japanese 'konnani' (this many/much) with the Kansai dialect 'honmani' (really) into a single new word. Someone in the studio quickly confirmed it on air: 'That's honmani, isn't it.'

Nomination ② 'What Yagyu Did Can Only Be Called an Illusion'

Nominated by radio name 'Command wo Yoshida' (airtime: around 2:20 a.m.). Ogi (小木) was just getting started on what sounded like an enthusiastic explanation of 'another great use for one of those electric massage guns' when Yagyu immediately interjected, 'You mean the vibration hits just right?' — shutting the story down completely. Even as Ogi pushed back — 'You know the version shaped like a hook?' — Yagyu kept ignoring him and moved on. It was later revealed that Yagyu had already worked out that Ogi's real intention was stain removal, telling the room 'It's for getting out stains, right?' Ogi confirmed: 'Yeah, actually, that was it.' The flawless redirect was deemed so deft that it 'can only be called an illusion.'

Nomination ③ 'The Devil Possesses Him'

Nominated by radio name 'Hoshiro' (airtime: around 2:00 a.m.). The conversation began with talk about character actor Nomaguchi Toru and what the show calls his 'kuso-men' quality, then shifted to fellow character actor Hirahara Tetsu appearing on the variety show GodTan. Ogi recalled the nerve-wracking experience of appearing opposite Okubo-san in that context: 'I was more nervous than in any drama.' The shocking incident that followed that anecdote — described as Ogi being taken over as if 'the devil possesses him' — is what earned the phrase its nomination.

A Baby Named Maone — Same Kanji and All

The Myne Mail (マイネメール) corner featured a first-ever email from radio name 'Hataraku Namakemono.' Writing to announce the birth of their first child, the listener explained: 'My newborn, just a few days old, gave me the courage to write in.' They went on to reveal that they had named the baby Maone — the same reading and the exact same kanji as Sasaki Maone — citing her 'voice, humor, and the beauty of her name' as their inspiration. The email signed off by listing T-shirt sizes: 'XL for me, M for my wife, and 60 for the baby.' Maone herself was visibly moved, saying the baby had become 'as precious to me as my own child,' and promised to 'give serious consideration' to designing and sending a T-shirt herself.

The 20th-Anniversary Dance Goes Viral

Maone reported that the stream of the 20th-anniversary joint celebration had been a hit online, with viewers calling it an 'unbelievable sync rate' and 'godly dancing,' and asking 'What agency are these three from?' On the flip side, she was candid about one regret: a scene in which Ogi was brought to tears watching her contemporary dance had not made it into the final broadcast. 'That was a little disappointing,' she said plainly.
