Marriage consultant Miyuki Uekusa gives practical lesson: Love techniques to avoid becoming a "marriage zombie" taught.

Yuka Nihei shocked as her "perfect strategy for group blind dates" is completely denied by the marriage consultant: "I've been wrong all along..."

The broadcast on July 3 (Fri) delivered the latter half of "Lessons to Avoid Failing in Reiwa Era Marriage Hunting" by marriage consultant Miyuki Uekusa. Practical techniques were taught based on actual failure examples from the marriage hunting scene.

The lesson, titled "Which One Are You? Shikujiri Matchmaking Grand Encyclopedia! The Crossroads of "Marriage Zombies" and "Marriage Gods" ~Practical Edition~", introduced the failure of "Silent Man" and "Silent Woman" who maintain silence during matchmaking, saying "I don't talk at all" or "I don't know what to talk about." Upon hearing this, talent Yuka Nihei confessed, "Until I received this lesson, I thought being a "silent woman" was more attractive." Nihei said, "In group blind dates, women who couldn't talk would lead to men asking, 'Are you okay? Are you having fun?' and then they'd start dating... I was actually planning to be a "silent woman" at group blind dates." However, Professor Uekusa dismissed it, saying, "It's better not to do that." Nihei lamented, "If I try to keep the conversation going, they definitely won't date me." When Nihei offered, "Shall I serve the salad?" Professor Uekusa taught the correct approach for marriage hunting, saying, "You don't need to serve it. Let the man do it." Nihei, whose perfect strategy for group blind dates had been completely denied, was shocked and said, "Then I've been wrong all along...", eliciting laughter from the studio.

Carnation's Yoshida's story about a "desperately unfunny joke-teller" encountered at a party makes the studio burst into laughter.

Furthermore, Professor Uekusa introduced the "desperately unfunny joke-teller" who, due to poor communication skills, ends up making unbelievable flops. She shared an episode of a "marriage hunting failure man" who "started a puppet show with self-made finger puppets to introduce himself." In response, Yui Yoshida of Carnation confessed her past party experiences. "The person sitting across from me was someone who was always trying to be funny," she recalled. "Even when I asked, 'Who did you date before?', they would say random things, lie, or just keep making jokes..." She reflected that it was impossible to have a proper conversation. However, Yoshida said, "Since I'm a comedian and a tsukkomi (straight man), I ended up responding to everything." She then revealed, "At the very end, when that person ran out of things to say, they said, 'Moo, poopoo~!'" This caused everyone in the studio to burst into laughter. Yoshida named him "Geki Buriburi Man" and suggested to Professor Uekusa, "Please add this to your data (from marriage hunting scenes)...", creating further amusement.

Miho Fukutome: "Not as funny as Yoshimura-san." Marriage consultant reveals "common marriage hunting experiences of celebrities."

Towards the end of the lesson, talent Miho Fukutome asked Professor Uekusa, "Is it difficult for celebrities in matchmaking?" She confessed, "I work with people who are always funny... When I talk to people who aren't comedians, I find myself thinking, 'They're not as funny as Yoshimura-san, whom I usually talk to,'" causing Yoshimura to blush. In response, Professor Uekusa began, "Actually, we do handle celebrities," and revealed the high hurdle of marriage hunting unique to celebrities, stating, "Even when they go on blind dates, they say 'not funny' or 'boring.'" She explained that because they are used to seeing beautiful people, they become overly focused on "looks."

Furthermore, the lesson introduced the existence of "Kaguya-hime of Marriage Hunting," about whom Professor Uekusa said, "There are women who achieve happiness all at once." What are the surprising marriage hunting techniques from this marriage hunting professional, who believes it's okay to "date three people simultaneously"...?

The main program, filled with practical lessons from real love techniques to avoid becoming a "marriage zombie," to "divine responses" in meetings and conversations, and the state of married couples after the "training wheels" of marriage agencies are removed, can be viewed for free for 7 days after its release. Please watch it.
