Chō♡ Wakarimi~ting!! Vol.2 supported by JR Tokai
Event Report

On Tuesday May 5th (a public holiday), the second live recording event for Cho Tokimeki♡ Sendenbu's FM Osaka regular program "Oshitai Yume — Cho Tokimeki♡ Sendenbu no Meccha Wakarimi~!!" was held at Zepp Namba (OSAKA). 1,900 listeners gathered from across the country for a night that brought to life the "wakarimi" (mutual understanding) bonds nurtured through the regular program.

The opening live set featured 11 songs in total, including the new single "Dream Jumbo!" (どりーむじゃんぼ！), set for release on Wednesday May 20th. Center member Hito-chan (Hitoka Sakai) burst with joy, saying: "The all-standing venue is giving us incredible energy — I'm riding that heat and loving every second!" During the MC segment, Oharu (Haruka Koizumi) delighted the crowd by revealing she had "absolutely demolished 4 trays — 16 takoyaki — before the show and was completely stuffed." Toward the end of the set, the sequence from "Chō Saikyō" into "Muteki no Uta" brought the whole venue to its peak, with hands raised and the entire crowd singing along.

The live recording segment of the program followed, with corner MC Kono of the Year (I Love Chikyu / Yoshimoto Kogyo) joining the members for fan-favorite segments. In the "Wakarimi Awase" corner — where listeners try to guess a designated member's preference — the prompt submitted by a listener was "How do you ward off a ghost?" Aki-chan (Aki Suda) shared a genuinely creepy paranormal encounter she had in real life, along with her surprisingly specific method for dealing with it, leaving the crowd stunned. The event also revisited the much-talked-about quiz segment testing Hito-chan (Hitoka Sakai)'s legendary acting ability: despite calmly delivering a food review after drinking an extremely sour juice, the members immediately saw through her — "Her wink was way more intense when it was sour" — a moment that perfectly illustrated the deep "wakarimi" (knowing each other inside out) between the members.

This segment will air on Saturday May 16th from 9:30 on FM Osaka's "Oshitai Yume — Cho Tokimeki♡ Sendenbu no Meccha Wakarimi~!!"

In the second half, as a special segment for "Tokimeki♡ Osute Gami!! Broadcast Club" — exclusive content for Tokaido Shinkansen passengers — the five members each introduced their recommended "oshi spots" reachable by Tokaido Shinkansen. Kanamin (Kanami Tsujino) picked the cherry blossoms around Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, visited together with the other members from Kyoto Station, while Hiyorin (Hiyori Yoshikawa) chose Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in Osaka and introduced her favorite attractions.

This content is scheduled to be distributed exclusively on the Tokaido Shinkansen from around Monday May 18th.

As a grand finale, the group gave the world premiere performance of a special Kansai dialect version of "Dream Jumbo!" — fitting, as the song's writers are all from Kansai. Psyching themselves up with Hiyorin's rallying cry of "We've got no choice but to do this!", the performance closed with all five members delivering a heartfelt "Honma ookini!" (Kansai dialect for "Thank you so much!") to the Sendenbuin who had gathered in Osaka — making for a truly special night.
