...One of the most popular late-night TV shows right now is "Matthew's Best Hit TV" (Asahi; Wednesday, 11:15 p.m.), starring the blond-wigged, green-suited Matthew Minami, who is, in reality, the slightly more effeminate alter-ego of comedian Takeshi Fujii. Matthew's main appeal is his girlish sense of fun, which is why all his guests are young female idols. During the outrageous games and stunts that make up the show's content, they all let down their guard in surprisingly funny ways.
This week, Matthew gets to play with a bunch of girls who really like fun. According to the press release, he and some of his guests will perform some ninja-like "English-language" fight scenes with the stars of "Charlie's Angels." In addition, he'll interview an idol from a previous era, singer Akiko Wada, who's a bit older than the usual "Best Hit" guests, but willing to play the girly games.
