Centered on talk about things that happened around FUMA, the show monthly lively airs by reading listener emails and carrying out various projects together with members who appear each month. In the program up to now, it was revealed that FUMA is actually shy with strangers and has not really been able to make celebrity friends other than the members. So, this time, in order for FUMA to make friends in the entertainment world, the program side has decided to help on its own. Ryogo Matsumaru, who has co-starred with him on a TV program and who has the common point that they both love the same game, will be welcomed as a guest, and this “matchmaking” project will be carried out. Furthermore, HARUA, who has outstanding communication skills within &TEAM, has also been decided to appear as the go-between, so a perfect setup has been prepared. In the recording held the other day, at the opening FUMA even voiced concern, saying, “HARUA might end up becoming closer with Matsumaru-san than I do……” The “matchmaking” started from the point of actually meeting face to face, but will FUMA’s concern come true, and will FUMA and Matsumaru safely become friends…… “&TEAM’s All Night Nippon X (Cross)” — Ryogo Matsumaru appears! FUMA’s Friend Matchmaking Grand Operation! — will be broadcast tonight from 24:00 on Nippon Broadcasting System as the key station, on a two-station network with Hokkaido STV Radio.
