AbemaTV's The Night temporary MC Suzuki Airi has graduated from the show with Yaguchi Mari returning as MC as a new mama. At the end, Suzuki Airi's dad made a surprise video letter and it made her tear up.

"Yaguchi Mari Welcome Back & Suzuki Airi Thanks for your hard work SP" episode

Holy shit. Yaguchi's baby was upside down (legs facing down instead of head) and had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

Idk if it's just Yaguchi's delivery or if it's just Japanese culture but goddamn is she casual about it.

A few takeaways-
1) IDENTITY has a bit of audience participations built in for lives- Airi wants the audience to sing the "kokoro no oto wo oh oh oh oh" in the climax and the second (by females) and third (by males) "I know/I feel" during the chorus

2) More importantly, and it's actually mentioned in her final Kayou the Night with Yaguchi but Airi's talking skills have definitely gone up. Still a dork but has picked up some skills that would do her well on the talk/variety circuit (not that I expect her to be more than an occasional guest particularly around new release promotion time.)

3) Interestingly, Airi mentions that this video is being recorded while the studio is preparing to do some recording for her upcoming album. I kind of assumed that the recording portion of the album would be done so now I'm curious as to what percentage of the recording/mixing/mastering is done.

4) MOST importantly, and we obviously new she could, but Airi majorly flexed on us mere mortals by busting out some live vocals to teach us the audience participation but it was so damn effortless. Jfc.

I feel like this video alone would convert (even) more people into fans. Also, as Celedam and others tend to mention, this video (along with the Hatsukoi Cider solo PV and others) should be included in the "Professor Airi teaches H!P Kenshuusei* how to Idol" course curriculum.

*Because if Airi's teaching how to Idol it sure as hell not gonna be anywhere else but at UF/HP.

It was Zunu who first called it "a master class".
