The marathon course that Yasuko took 14 hours to complete for “24 Hour TV” can now be walked in 9 hours! YouTuber “Minou Monogatari” proves it, putting NTV in a difficult position.
2024/9/11 On September 8th, solo comedian Yasuko appeared live on “Sunday Japon” (TBS). Yasuko served as a runner in the annual charity marathon for “24 Hour TV 47” (Nippon TV), which was broadcast over two days from August 31st. “During the program, we looked back on the intense race. When asked what she would most like as a reward, she immediately replied, “A day off.” She’s someone you rarely see on TV these days, but she also ran a charity marathon, so she must have been exhausted. “She hurt her left leg while running the marathon, but revealed that it has now healed” (sports magazine reporter, same below) Total amount raised: 438 million yen Yasuko had reportedly started training for the marathon at the end of June in preparation for the event. “Due to his schedule, he couldn’t find the time, but he tried to run once or twice a week. She was cared for in a children’s home during her high school years, and this time she ran what was called a “fundraising marathon for children’s home across the country.” All of this money will be donated to over 600 child welfare facilities across the country, separated from the overall donations from 24 Hour TV.” However, an unexpected incident occurred just before the marathon began. “We had originally planned to run with over 1,000 citizen runners, but because Typhoon No. 10 was approaching, the participation of citizen runners was cancelled for safety reasons. Yasuko will be running around Nissan Stadium in Yokohama by herself.” The unexpected alternative plan drew harsh criticism. “It is natural to think that a circular course that just goes around in circles would be cruel to the runners, as the scenery remains the same, and there were many opinions online saying that the typhoon’s impact should have been taken into consideration in advance, and that alternatives to a circular course could have been considered. At around 6:30 a.m. on September 1st, when the rain had subsided, we headed from Nissan Stadium to Ryogoku Kokugikan (hereinafter referred to as Kokugikan), the venue for 24 Hour TV. “She successfully completed the 81km distance, named after her catchphrase “Hai~,” and the total amount raised was about 438 million yen,” said a TV station source. While many viewers were impressed by Yasuko, who continued to run despite taking multiple breaks and taping herself up… On the 7th, YouTuber Mino Monogatari, who has over 500,000 subscribers, posted a video of himself walking the same path to the Kokugikan Sumo Hall that Yasuko ran, and the time he took to do so has attracted a lot of attention. Yasuko left Nissan Stadium at 6:30 a.m. on September 1st and arrived at Kokugikan at 8:41 p.m. It took more than 14 hours to “run,” but “Minami Monogatari” covered the same distance in about 9 hours by “walking” (entertainment writer) “It’s deliberately delayed” The entertainment writer continues. “If you walk from Nissan Stadium to Kokugikan without taking a break, it will take you seven hours. It took me about nine hours to complete “Minami Monogatari,” with a few breaks in between. Even though Yasuko is running, it takes her twice as long as if she were walking without taking a break. “Minami Monogatari” made the excuse, “Yasuko did nothing wrong,” and then questioned NTV.” On the Internet, people are expressing distrust for NTV, with comments such as, “This isn’t just a Yasuko walk; it’s a slow-walk tactic, intentionally delaying her to her destination,” and “Thank you for letting us know that the 24-hour TV marathon was staged! It seems strange when you think about how long it took.” “I’m sure Yasuko took shelter from the rain and had snacks to replenish her nutrients along the way, but 14 hours is still too long. They arrived at the Kokugikan at 8:41 p.m., but one cannot help but think that this was just a way to make it there just before the program ended.” (Entertainment writer) Last year, the “24 Hour TV” program was exposed for its “petty money problem,” and it will likely take some time before it regains full trust.
>>1 “Initially, we planned to run with over 1,000 citizen runners.” I thought Yasuko would run outside and the citizen runners would just run around the grounds.
>>1 Everyone knew that it was just the right time to reach the goal and enjoy the special effects. I think there were some people who didn’t make it to the ending though.
>>1 By the way, how many laps did Yasuko do at Nissan Stadium? After that, she went on the public road course, right? I don’t deny the possibility that it was staged, but did the 9 hours include the wear and tear it took to get there?
I wonder how many kilometers it had traveled by the time it reached Nissan Stadium? I’d like to know what would happen if we tested it under all the same conditions I definitely don’t want to test it myself, though.
Do you think the media is telling the truth without fabricating anything? First, try completing compulsory education. I know a little bit about the world.
I don’t know about this, but it’s obvious that the media is already arbitrary even in news reports and opinion polls, so there’s no way they wouldn’t do it on variety shows.
Not just this time, but the only people who are impressed by this farcical marathon are old people with decrepit brains or idiots with no media literacy whatsoever.
