I thought it had been a year, but it was actually 100 years.

In the opening, the conversation kicks off regarding a typo mentioned in the previous broadcast. The punchline that it had actually been 100 years sparks a lively back-and-forth between Kohei-san and Honesto-san that is sure to make listeners laugh. This lighthearted banter is the signature atmosphere of the show.

The amusement park model for Detective Conan was incredibly surprising.

The discussion expands further into a surprising behind-the-scenes story about Tropical Land, which appears in Detective Conan. The two are genuinely shocked by the fact that Shima Spain Mura was the model for the amusement park that appeared in the series. It is truly fun to listen to them get excited about these connections while reflecting on the production background of the time.

Preparing might be part of the prediction itself.

The main segment of this episode is the 2026 hit product forecast. Kohei-san uses the analogy of preparing for an exam to explain why they are conducting this annual year-end segment now. From the idea that the preparation stage—like sharpening pencils—is what truly matters, they delve deeper into the significance of making predictions. Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear the specific preparatory work they mention along the way.
