Actor Nakamura Tomoya made an appearance on SixTONES' variety show "Golden SixTONES" that aired May 24, expressing genuine admiration for the group. Returning to the show after about nine months, Nakamura reflected on his previous visit by saying, "SixTONES is seriously amazing," before comparing the members to a particular character in a way that had the studio laughing.

Nakamura joined fellow guests comedian Gekidan Hitotsuji (making his second appearance) and Hiromasa Yamazaki (appearing for the fourth time). The group's members seemed at ease with the returning visitors, smiling as they welcomed them back.

The episode featured several games, including "Dajare Red Carpet," a quick-answer quiz where contestants identify hidden puns in videos. Nakamura teamed up with Matsumura Hokuto but found himself constantly derailed by Hokuto's comedic ad-libs. Gekidan Hitotsuji paired with Takachi Yugo and boasted he comes up with puns "about once every five minutes," though his partnership struggled with coordination issues. Yamazaki and Jessie also delivered plenty of jokes, while fan-favorite contestants Tanaka Juri and Morimoto Shintaro found themselves thrown off by the constant comedy around them.

Kyomoto Taiga, who's been on a winning streak as the "new dajare champion," faced unexpected circumstances that had him questioning whether "Nippon Television is trying to eliminate Kyomoto Taiga."

A new segment called "Bug Mon Quest" asked players to identify bizarre AI-generated monster hybrids. The creatures—with names like "Oni Panman," "Spam Jaguar," and "Red Bunny"—provoked delighted reactions from the cast, who were charmed by their unexpected designs.

"Golden SixTONES" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Nippon Television.
