"Acchi Kochi Audrey" is a variety show that has been broadcast on TV Tokyo since October 5, 2019. It is Audrey's signature show [1]. From the start until March 31, 2021, it was broadcast under the name "Acchi Kochi Audrey ~ Kasuga's Store is Open? ~" (Acchi Kochi Audrey Kasuga no Miseaitemasu yo?). Overview Set in a restaurant where Toshiaki Kasuga is the head chef, regular customer Masayasu Wakabayashi and celebrity guests have honest conversations [2]. Two to three talk guests are invited each time (sometimes only one person), and during the late-night period, it was often broadcast in two parts. Many songs by SAKEROCK, which is used as the opening theme, are played during the show. A feature of the show is that unlike general talk variety shows, there are no prior surveys, and the talents often speak their true feelings. As a result, the show's contents often become online news, and Wakabayashi came up with the idea of posting a menu on the wall of the show's set that reads, "This is not radio," "No careless remarks allowed," and "The writers are watching this amazingly." [3] The show also accepts messages from viewers, which are introduced from time to time during the opening and main talk of the show. On July 20, 2021, the episodes broadcast on June 2, 9, and 16 of the same year won the Galaxy Award for June 2021 TV Category Monthly Award. [4] The episodes that featured guest appearances by London Boots 1-2's Tamura Atsushi and Panther's Mukai Satoshi were praised for "revealing the real worries and feelings of comedians in their respective positions, while also being first-class 'TV theory.'"
