SixTONES' Variety Show Welcomes Unexpected Guest Trio
SixTONES' variety show "Golden SixTONES" featured an unlikely trio of guests—MEGUMI, Eiji Kotoge from Baikingu, and Hidekatu Kano—who revealed mysterious connections to the group and competed in quirky challenges.

SixTONES' variety program "Golden SixTONES" aired an entertaining episode on June 14th with three unexpected guests: TV personality MEGUMI, comedian Eiji Kotoge from comedy duo Baikingu, and comedian Hidekatu Kano. The trio's lack of obvious connection to the group created an amusing dynamic throughout the show.
The guests dropped some intriguing hints about their ties to SixTONES members. MEGUMI, making her first appearance on the show, revealed an unexpected connection to Jesse, while Kotoge exposed what he called "bizarre behavior" from Jesse, prompting studio laughter. Notably, all three guests insisted they'd "never appear together again," adding to the comic mystery surrounding their involvement.
The episode featured two main game segments. The first, "Shinugeki! One-chance Military Strategist," tasked contestants with predicting whether seemingly impossible challenges could be accomplished through repeated attempts. Hosted by Time Machine 3-pun in their variety show debut, the four questions offered Vietnamese cuisine as prizes. The challenges included attempting to land one golf ball in a cup after rolling 5,000 balls down a snowboarding jump and testing whether 100 plastic bottle rockets or 1,000 playing cards could achieve specific feats.
MEGUMI brought comedic energy to the first question by demanding "romance" and voting "can do," while the others were skeptical. The debate escalated into a heated discussion that humorously demonstrated the guests' contrasting personalities.
The second segment, "Session High School," required participants to keep rhythm by tapping a table to complete songs. MEGUMI struggled notably with her rapid-fire notes, entering a full panic while attempting the task. Despite receiving hints from her fellow players that bordered on rule-breaking, she couldn't find the correct answer, prompting Time Machine 3-gun to express exasperated disbelief.
Beyond the games, the episode included a surprise from staff members celebrating an occasion for the SixTONES members, and viewers witnessed the debut of a new character called "Youkai Tama Delivery."
"Golden SixTONES" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Nippon Television.
