"NEWS CRISIS," a regular news program broadcast on TV Osaka since March 2026. On the episode aired on Wednesday, June 10th, professional boxer Tenshin Nasukawa appeared as the program's first guest.

The program addresses various crises, and this episode focused on the "Smombie Crisis." It delved into "Smombies," a phenomenon where modern individuals are constantly engrossed in their smartphones, leading to issues like text neck and decreased brain function.

During the program, Tenshin Nasukawa commented on the "walking smartphone zombies occurring worldwide."

Details can be found in the replay available on YouTube.

Unique Advertising Initiatives Also Rolled Out

Furthermore, as a solution to the Smombie crisis, the program introduced the widely discussed book "Health Method Just by Looking Up." It featured a health method where simply looking up is said to regulate the autonomic nervous system.

Conversely, the program also focused on the current situation where the increase in people walking while looking down reduces their opportunities to encounter appropriate information, and revealed the results of the program's unique verification experiment.

A fire hydrant advertisement for "NEWS CRISIS," posted in "a certain location" in Tokyo since March 2026, recorded only one QR code scan in approximately three months. This highlighted the reality that people are not actually looking up, bringing the critical situation into sharp relief.
