Full Comments from Kemuri Matsui (Reiwa Roman)

I served as MC for the "Shuffle Island Season 6" event, but watching the new season in the studio was an incredibly stimulating experience! Koh Samui, the setting this time, is an incredibly beautiful place and one of my favorite resort destinations. I was able to watch from episode 1, so I was really immersed, but I can't watch the rest in the studio, so I'm dying to know what happens next!! I want to see it soon!!! I already sense a lot of turmoil by episode 2, and the members who seem like they'll stir things up are amazing! There are also elements that fans of previous seasons will enjoy, so please watch!
