TV Osaka's variety program 'Daremo-shi Ranking' explores the unique charm of Osaka's 800+ shopping streets across 43 municipalities. The program highlights Daito City's Nozaki Sando shopping street, home to the historic Nozaki Kannon and popular local characters like YouTuber florist Eiji Ichihara and 84-year-old baker Saburo Tatsumi, whose baking videos achieved over 1.66 million views. In Izumisano City, the historical Tsubasa-dori shopping street features Chiuchi Shoten selling up to 1,000 fish paste products daily, and the long-standing Kagino Shoten, founded in 1891, offering ceramics. Yao City's small-scale Onji Station Shopping Center hosts Koringado, a bookstore selling homemade lunch boxes prepared daily from 4:30 AM, and Cost Village Bio, which sells organic foods and repacked Costco items while organizing a 'Kodomo Ticket' charity program to support children. The show rediscovers the vibrant local culture and history of these traditional shopping arcades, which are hosted by MC Nakagawake and guests Yu Tamura and Yukiko Nonomura.
