In episode #0, which began streaming on Thursday, May 21, the director conducted a surprise interview with host Yoshimura, proposing, "Mr. Yoshimura, why don't you sell some of your assets?"

When staff suggested his beloved McLaren, worth about 43 million yen, as a potential asset for sale, Yoshimura refused, saying, "Half of it belongs to the loan company, and I don't want to sell it anyway." However, it was revealed that the maintenance costs amount to about 200,000 yen per month, including 50,000 yen for insurance, 50,000 yen for parking, and 100,000 yen for gasoline, which he fills up "about once every two days." Furthermore, with monthly loan payments of about 250,000-300,000 yen and rent of about 500,000 yen, his shocking running costs total roughly 1 million yen per month. "No wonder I'm running out of money," Yoshimura laughed wryly, sharing a sad yet amusing story about taking the subway despite owning a supercar.
