Two Strangers Who Felt Like Old Friends

Host Fukaii and guest Miyako were meeting for the first time, yet neither felt like a stranger. Fukaii revealed that she had been watching Miyako's videos on social media and mentally willing her to come on the show, and that the appearance finally came together through Tokyo FM. Miyako said she "didn't know her as a human being, but knew her from the screen"—she first encountered Fukaii on TikTok, then went down the YouTube rabbit hole, watching even the controversial videos, and found her "too unfiltered to be anything but funny." When Miyako walked into the studio, Fukaii said her energy matched every expectation, which made the nerves vanish instantly. For the many listeners who had written in asking "how do you two know each other?", the answer was a laughing "we really don't."

By way of introduction: Miyako hit 750,000 YouTube subscribers within two years of launching her channel and, at the time of recording, has surpassed 900,000. Her combined social media following exceeds 2.1 million—a figure Fukaii likened to the entire population of Nagoya. Miyako is also a trained dancer and designs her own merchandise, drawing on her fine-arts university background.

"My Views Are Too Consistent to Say Anything New"

Miyako has not posted a video in roughly a month and a half. She explained that her positions on every topic—from how to engage with the internet to her views on LGBT issues—are so fixed and coherent that every video circles back to the same points. There is no fresh angle to offer, so the updates stop.

Fukaii framed this as a rare quality: Miyako, she said, is the person who puts into words the uncomfortable truths that most people keep to themselves, and gives viewers a place to feel confident in their own thinking. Miyako described herself as "deeply negative, introverted, and gloomy by nature," but said that awareness had pushed her to consciously try to live on the optimistic side. Despite a comment section that, in her words, "explodes" with responses, she attracts almost no hostile replies—a dynamic both hosts found worth noting.

A Long Shot Who Passed on Exam Day: The Sapix Story

Miyako started attending Sapix (サピックス), a highly competitive prep school, in first grade. In those early days the class had only three students, and she earned a certificate every session for finishing at the top. That changed in fourth grade, when roughly thirty high-performing local students joined and competition became fierce. She dropped to the middle of the pack—what she called "the first setback of my life."

In the class targeting Azabu middle school, seating was reshuffled every week by test score, with lower-ranked students pushed to dimly lit back rows beyond the reach of the projector light. Miyako says she spent a lot of time in those back rows. Her mock-exam results returned D and E ratings throughout, yet she outperformed her predictions when it counted, passing her target school on exam day. She was the only student in that Azabu-track class at her campus to earn a place—a fact that prompted Fukaii to exclaim, "That's like reincarnation."

Fighting the Scroll: A Grayscale Smartphone

To keep from endlessly browsing social media, Miyako has set her phone's display to grayscale. Switching back to color requires navigating to a settings screen she has deliberately made awkward to reach, adding just enough friction to break the impulse. She sometimes even shoots her own videos while the screen is still in black and white, admitting she "has no idea what's actually showing up." Fukaii said she has barely looked at social media herself lately, and both acknowledged a shared worry: reduced input is visibly shrinking their vocabulary.

The In-Flight Skit: When the CA Had a Past

One segment had Fukaii, a former cabin attendant, playing an obnoxious passenger, while Miyako stepped into the role of the flight attendant. The bit was a listener-requested sequel to a similar skit from the previous episode featuring guest Kokoko.

Set aboard a Peach Airlines flight, Fukaii's character demanded beer and barked at the crew to hurry up. Miyako's CA responded by confiding that she used to work at a hostess club, then calmly sitting down beside him, popping open a bottle of Dom Pérignon, and smoothly steering the mood with small talk: "You're from Fukuoka? I've always wanted to go." The whole scene came crashing back to earth when "turbulence" struck and Miyako's character had to sprint back to her jump seat, shouting "Turbulence—I have to go!"—bringing the house down.
