Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

HR aired during the peak of SMAP's dominance, essentially functioning as a weekly variety show disguised as a sitcom for Katori and Kusanagi fans.

Trivia

Koki Mitani famously rewrote scripts overnight based on the cast's improvisations during rehearsals, explaining the show's lived-in, barely-controlled energy.
