What this episode answers
Why did the "Reiwa-era boyfriend-getting makeup" video spark both praise and criticism on YouTube?
On X reactions were mostly positive, with viewers praising the look and buying the featured lipstick, but on YouTube a comment argued that losing weight through effort is harder and more praiseworthy, and that women who use makeup to skip that effort won't attract genuinely appealing men, drawing criticism.
Why did the "Yakamashii wa" reply become a problem?
She replied "Yakamashii wa" to a critical comment late at night thinking she was posting from her personal fan account, but the reply actually went out from the official channel account, so she decided to leave it up rather than delete it since deleting would look more unnatural.
What trouble arose over the Mos Burger appearance?
She appeared as a "Mos Burger-loving talent," but since she had previously said she liked Dom Dom Burger, viewers pointed out the contradiction, so she used Instagram Stories to clarify she isn't loyal to one chain but just likes fast food in general.
How did the host say they handle being called out in Kabukicho and criticism on social media?
She treats being called out in Kabukicho almost like a greeting and lets it pass, but finds politely delivered criticism harder to handle, and discusses options like closing comments or speaking her mind on Instagram Live to convey the right tone.
How did they respond to a listener's relationship consultation about a boyfriend with "no room to spare"?
They advised her to give up on him and move on, since someone who cites the same "no room to spare" excuse twice can't be trusted, and it's hard to believe someone truly without room to spare would be using a dating app.
Beni Shoga wa Suki Zuki episode #180 opens with the athletic-festival season. When it comes to filming her child's sports day, the host says she asks whoever is recording to keep the shots wide -- it's fine if the parents can't tell who's who, as long as it captures the general atmosphere of the events. The conversation also touches on whether competitions long considered "dangerous," like tug-of-war and pole-pulling, are still held today.
Backlash Over the "Reiwa-Era Boyfriend-Getting Makeup" Video, and an Accidental Reply
The main topic centers on a new series on the YouTube channel the host appears on. In its first episode, a professional makeup artist interviews and applies makeup on the host, with the theme "autumn Reiwa-era boyfriend-getting makeup." On X (formerly Twitter), reactions were largely positive -- comments like "so cute" and "I'm buying that lipstick" -- and some viewers reportedly went to Addiction to buy the lipstick featured in the video.
On YouTube, however, one comment argued that losing weight through effort is harder and more deserving of praise, and that women who try to skip that effort through makeup won't attract genuinely appealing men. Seeing this late at night, the host got irritated and replied "Yakamashii wa," thinking she was posting from her personal fan account -- only to later discover the reply had actually gone out from the official channel account. Rattled by the discovery, she decided to leave the reply up rather than delete it, reasoning that deleting it would look even more unnatural.
Handling Street Remarks in Kabukicho and Criticism on Social Media
The discussion widens to how to respond to hurtful words, both online and on the street. Walking through Kabukicho, the host is sometimes called out with remarks like "off to the host club again?" -- she says she treats this almost like a greeting and lets it pass. What's harder to handle, she says, is criticism delivered politely, as if it were simply the reasonable view. The two hosts talk through options for having a place to express their own thoughts, such as closing the comments section or speaking their mind on Instagram Live, noting that written words can come across as snide, whereas speaking live might convey the right tone and temperature.
Explaining the Mos Burger Appearance
On another topic, the host discusses appearing as a "Mos Burger-loving talent." Since she had previously said she liked Dom Dom Burger, viewers sent messages pointing out the apparent contradiction. She explains that she used Instagram Stories to clarify that she isn't loyal to one particular burger chain, but likes fast food in general.
Advice Corner: "Su Zuki Su Zuki" -- The Boyfriend With "No Room to Spare"
In the segment "Su Zuki Su Zuki," the hosts take up a message from a 26-year-old woman. She matched with someone on a dating app, exchanged messages for four months, then went on three dates before they started seeing each other -- only for him to break up with her a few weeks later, saying he wanted to focus on work and had "no room to spare." Half a year later they reconnected and exchanged messages for about a month, but when she suggested going out for a meal, he again replied that he "still didn't have much room to spare."
The hosts note that he is a student in a six-year veterinary program, so it's plausible he really is busy with work and study. Still, they say a person who cites the same reason to turn her down twice can't be trusted, and it's hard to believe someone truly without room to spare would be using a dating app in the first place. Their advice: give up on him and move on.
Takeaways
- The "Reiwa-era boyfriend-getting makeup" video was well received overall, but a critical comment irritated the host, who then accidentally replied "Yakamashii wa" from the show's official account instead of her personal one.
