"Weekly Nainai Music" infiltrated "SMTOWN LIVE 2025 in TOKYO." Behind the scenes of the live event, Nainai interacted with SM artists. On the August 27 broadcast of Fuji TV's "Weekly Nainai Music," the duo infiltrated the "SMTOWN" press conference and backstage. Following a request from TVXQ's Yunho to liven up "SMTOWN" for summer, they planned a ring toss game. In a corner of the catering room, they enjoyed ring toss with SM artists. The first to appear was aespa. Hearing that there was a special gift if they could ring a star, WINTER aimed for the star and succeeded on the first try, winning a bunch of Shine Muscat grapes worth 20,000 yen. Here, Takashi Okamura asked, "When we hold concerts in Japan, can we do something about the tickets?" to which aespa replied, "We will invite you," eliciting laughter. Next, TVXQ appeared. Yunho and Changmin aimed for the grand prize of a trip to Hawaii, but the ring toss was set up in a tricky way, making it impossible to succeed. After that, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon and NCT DREAM appeared, and Okamura mentioned his past collaboration with Girls' Generation on "Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!" confessing, "I'm a big fan." Hyoyeon was helped by Okamura moving the ring toss stick closer, and despite TVXQ's protests, she won the trip to Hawaii. However, upon looking closely at the envelope, it said, "With Takashi Okamura." When asked if she would go to Hawaii with Okamura, Hyoyeon immediately replied, "No," bringing smiles to the scene. RIIZE and SHINee's Key presented fans with signed official merchandise. Hearts2Hearts energized the scene and happily won Tokyo Banana. NCT WISH members supported each other to throw rings closer, but were criticized for being "clumsy!" catching attention. Furthermore, SUPER JUNIOR and Nainai reunited after a long time. Heechul shared a story about meeting Okamura at a club in the past. Here, Okamura attempted to mimic a difficult dance by Shindong, who entertained the crowd with a playful dance crossing his legs. • Infiltrating the "SMTOWN LIVE" Tokyo Dome performance!
