Kazuya Kameshiro Takes on First Restaurant Job in TV Special
Actor and entertainer Kazuya Kameshiro appears on TBS's "Sakurai・Ariyoshi THE Yoru Kai SP" tomorrow, where he reflects on his first-ever part-time job at an Italian restaurant and teaches co-host Sho Sakurai how to cook pescatore.

Kazuya Kameshiro is heading to the small screen tomorrow for a special episode of TBS's "Sakurai・Ariyoshi THE Yoru Kai SP," where he'll share his unexpected first experience working in hospitality.
The episode airs Thursday, June 25 at 20:54 JST, featuring Kameshiro alongside a lineup of guests including figure skater Masahiro Uno, the comedy duo Elf, hair and makeup artist Hiro Odagiri, and several other entertainers. The special will air a pre-recorded segment following Kameshiro's day working at an Italian restaurant, marking his debut as a service industry employee.
In the behind-the-scenes footage, Kameshiro tackles typical kitchen duties—including dishwashing and the pressure of the dinner rush. The segment shows him handling six orders in 15 minutes while maintaining composure, though the segment hints he faced a significant challenge during the experience.
Back in the studio, things take a cooking turn. Co-host Sho Sakurai, who admits to struggles in the kitchen, becomes Kameshiro's student as the actor walks him through preparing pescatore, a classic Italian pasta dish typically made with seafood. It's a lighthearted moment that plays on Sakurai's self-deprecating humor about his culinary skills.
The show brings together an eclectic group for the special, with regular hosts Sakurai and Ariyoshi Hiroyuki joined by talent like Waka Shimizaki and Reiko Takashima. Miki Fujimoto serves as the program's guide.
With a runtime just over two hours, the special promises variety beyond Kameshiro's segment, so fans tuning in should expect the usual mix of celebrity anecdotes and entertaining challenges that define the show's format. For Kameshiro specifically, it's a chance to reflect on stepping outside his comfort zone and trying something completely new—even if only for television.
