ABEMA broadcasted episode #119 of the variety program 'Nanani Chika ABEMA,' hosted by Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori, on Sunday, May 24, 2026. Following the broadcast, the episode was released for free on-demand streaming.

Titled 'Viral Sensation! Transformation Specialists! Miracle Hairstylists Gathering Special Part 2,' the episode brought together highly skilled hairstylists currently trending on social media and their clients whose lives were drastically changed by their haircuts. The show revealed surprising before-and-after transformations and the stories behind them.

In the first half of the program, Miki Hirata, a hairstylist at 'LIPPS hair Shibuya,' stunned the studio. She is a top-tier professional who has achieved an astonishing record monthly appointment revenue of 11.13 million yen. The secret to her massive revenue is her 'men's makeup' tailored to the haircut. A video of her transforming a job-hunting student into someone resembling BTS's V has surpassed 13 million views, and currently, 40-50% of her appointments are specifically for makeup.

Next to appear was Sho Otsuki of 'DIECE SHIBUYA,' a pioneer of transformation videos, whose total views have exceeded 100 million. He shared a miracle comeback story of a man who, after a breakup, used Otsuki's cut to transform into a refreshing young man, leading to over 1,900 'likes' on dating apps and a 'speedy marriage' within 11 months.

'God of Short Cuts' Kodai Sakamoto from 'yori Tokyo' transformed Harachan from the comedy duo Universe. Despite having heavy, blunt bangs for 13 years, she was transformed into a stylish beauty through sheer texture and earring color techniques.

Furthermore, Takumi Okumura of 'pizzicato,' famous for his unique 'perm removal' technique, appeared. A woman struggling with low sales at her family's ramen shop due to criticism of her afro hair had her hair straightened by Okumura. As a result, the ramen shop's revenue surged by 1.5 times, her social media following increased, and they have secured a spot at 'JAPAN Fes' in the U.S. for 2027.

The next broadcast of 'Nanani Chika ABEMA,' episode #120, airing Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 8:00 PM, is titled 'Who are the handsome men and beautiful women currently trending on social media!? Surprising occupations and private life reveal special!'
