Today, Yokoyama Reina was back on Youngtown radio show, and ANGERME Sasaki Rikako was a guest for the first time.
- Reina speaks in a hoarse voice
Then..
Sanma: "What happened to your voice?"
Yokoyama:"Sorry, I was at home as a close contact until recently, but during that time I got acute tonsillitis".
Sanma: "You are involved in various things - corona related things, you had a fever due to an adverse reaction and now you are a close contact?"
Yokoyama: "I was a close contact and was on standby at home until about two days ago, and during that time I got a terrible sore throat, so I went to the hospital and had tests and PCR done, and they came back negative.
Sanma: "What causes acute tonsillitis?
Yokoyama "Well, fatigue and stress.
Sanma: "You took a rest, didn't you!"
Yokoyama "Well, I was told that it is easy to get it due to a weakened immune system or something. My sore throat and other symptoms were gone, but I had a cough and my throat didn't feel good."

Then they had a conversation about Rikako's background (living in Miyagi, being a local idol) and about herself. Sasaki Rikako is currently into the girls band "Chilli Beans" (チリビーンズ)
Later, the topic of her being a half came up. She is actually a Quarter, but she likes saying "half" instead.
@ 55:00 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35W8GeGtEXURikako: LOL I'm a half."
Sanma: "No Way!"
Rikako: "I'm Japanese-Filipino, so I'm a half."
Sanma: "But you don't look Filipino!"
Rikako: "My mother is also half." (half Filipino and Spanish?)
Sanma: "Then you must be a quarter, right?"
Rikako: "Yes, but I'm telling you that I'm half Filipino."
Sanma: "You've got to be kidding!"
Yokoyama: LOL
Rikako: "I'm often told by mother and grandpa that I'm a Quarter. But It's easier if I say I'm half Filipino."
Sanma: "No, it's easy to tell if you're a quarter."
Yokoyama: LOL
Murakami: "Do you speak English?"
Rikako: "I can't speak English."
Sanma: "What is the language of the Philippines called?"
Rikako: "It's Tagalog, but Filipinos can also speak English."
Rikako: "My mother would speak in English and I would respond in Japanese.
Sanma: "But I'm sure you could speak English if you studied it."
Rikako: "I really can't speak English."
Sanma: "But it's really a waste if you can't speak it though."
Rikako: "It is really difficult."
Sanma: "Can you say Thank You in English?"
Rikako: "Thank You Thank You Thank You"
Sanma: "What is even this?"
Rikako: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Sanma: "Okay say McDonald"
Rikako: "Mcdonaldo, Mcdonaldo" LOL
Rikako: "The easier word I can say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY" LOL
Murakami: "It doesn't sound foreign, It's sounds Japanese"
Rikako: "How about popcorn?"
Rikako: "Papcaan"
Yokoyama : LOL
