「【譲】割烹着【求】300円」

Merchandise Lineup and Design

Iwai (岩井) and Saby (サービー) walked through the design of each 10th-anniversary item one by one. The "Goma-abura-za Joe" (ゴマ油座ジョー) pin badge is modeled closely on sesame oil bottle packaging and sold at random. The "All Daikon Nippon" (オールダイコンにっぽん) badge, striped in black, red, and yellow, drew an immediate "that looks like the German flag" — which spiraled into a riff about daikon radishes supposedly tracing their roots to Germany. The "Nori-nori no Turn" (ノリノリのターン) badge features Iwai's illustrated face with the eyes blacked out by a piece of seaweed, a detail that required careful execution.

On the apparel side, T-shirts, hoodies, and a cap round out the lineup; the cap earned particular praise for its clean, wearable design. The kappogi (割烹着 — a traditional Japanese cook's apron) was hand-designed by staff member Miyazaki-san. Compared with the other items it struck people as oddly "AI-generated," which got a laugh, but it retails for just 300 yen under the name "Yuzuru Kappogi" (ゆずる割烹着). The episode title "[Giving Away] Kappogi [Wanted] 300 Yen" refers directly to this item.

The Tote Bag Is a "Base Tote" — Customize Freely

The show's tote bag has attracted attention for being noticeably thin, but Iwai and Saby pushed back with intent: "It's a base tote — reinforce it yourself." They encouraged listeners to add their own lining, quilting, or embroidery, and kept going from there: cut it into a pouch, repurpose it as a baby bib, or slice off a square of fabric and sell it as merch for Haramoto no Turn (原市のターン). The pair invited fans to post their customized versions on X, framing the tote as a participatory, living project rather than a finished product.

Merch as an "Energy" Exchange

Iwai recast the entire merchandise operation in his own terms: buying an item is not a "purchase" but an act of "delivering energy that keeps the show going," with the merch as the thank-you gift sent back in return. He illustrated the math with a gag — "give us 10,000 yen of energy and you might receive 33 random pin badges" — before landing a practical warning: always tell the staff which item you actually want, or the outcome is random. "Worst case, you end up with four penlights," he said.

The Diverse Listeners at the Handover Event

The 10th anniversary book handover event at Kinokuniya Shinjuku Main Store drew visitors non-stop for roughly two hours. Two listener letters recapped standout moments. Radio name Saitei-gen no Seikatsu (最低限の生活, "Bare Minimum Life") described a full-blown panic: as the line crept forward, anxiety built to a peak, and when their turn finally came they managed only a strained "su... su..." before sprinting away — earning the self-designated title of "creepy listener." Radio name Neko to Cider (猫とサイダー, "Cat and Cider") reported the opposite outcome: despite shaking nerves, they summoned the courage to say, "I'll follow you to the 10,000th Turn for life."

Among the visitors who made an impression on the day: a regular whose speech mannerisms mirrored a QuizKnock (クイズノック) member so closely it was uncanny; an elderly man who delivered exactly one line — "kids this age don't usually come to these things" — and left; a foreigner wearing a T-shirt from the new material live show Delta Force (デルタフォース); and a woman in a long-sleeve shirt printed with Haraichi's faces who said, "I'm embarrassed, but I came all the way from far away in this." Many others arrived straight from the office in dress shirts and slacks. Words received directly on the day included: "Fridays are the only day I can come out energized," "this show supported me when my father was ill," and "this show got me into radio — now I'm a radio addict." Both Iwai and Saby were visibly moved.

The "Extra" Incident and the 1,900-Yen Chashu Zaru Consequence

Because Iwai and Saby stood side by side at the event, one listener referred to Iwai as "the extra (おまけ)." Every time Iwai tried to correct the record, the listener walked off before he could finish. The scene repeated three times in a row, leaving the pair in a slightly unhinged, giggly state as each successive visitor arrived. Adding to the operational comedy: despite five staff members on hand to manage the partition screens, the dividers were never positioned correctly, meaning each new visitor had an unobstructed view of the previous conversation — a running embarrassment the pair recounted with rueful laughs.

Saby admitted during the recording that he was "at his limit" — not from the event itself, but from lunch beforehand. A chashu zaru (チャーシューザル) ramen dish in Shinjuku that cost 1,900 yen had wrecked his stomach. "Greasy food just does me in now," he said, smiling through it. Holding on through the entire two-hour handover event while expressing heartfelt gratitude to listeners was, both agreed, quite the way to close out the first half.
