"Detective! Night Scoop" (ABC TV, Friday 11:17 PM) is a popular variety show in which "detectives" tackle viewers' quirky requests and worries. On February 13th, detective Ken Maeda investigated "Shampoo from Dump Truck Splashes!?" Actor Eiichiro Funakoshi made his debut as the special director, with assistant director Kemuri Matsui and secretary Saori Masuda also appearing.
The request came from a 54-year-old man from Tokushima Prefecture. The man has a dream that he has been fantasizing about for many years, even though it may seem silly. The man is a highway bus driver from Tokushima to Osaka. When driving a large bus, there are some things you need to be especially careful of.
When roads are flooded by heavy rain, a large amount of rainwater accumulates on the road, and if you drive into a puddle without slowing down, you can create a huge splash. Of course, this can be dangerous for pedestrians, so I drive with extreme caution in such situations, but after watching that huge splash for many years, I suddenly wondered if I could shampoo my hair.
Of course, such an experiment wouldn't be possible on public roads, and I wouldn't be able to get splashed with water when I was driving, so what could I do...? I wanted to shampoo my hair with the water splashed up by a large vehicle and rinse it off nicely.
The client, who revealed that "the God of Comedy sometimes descends upon me," was enthusiastic throughout the shoot. First, they had to dig a 10-meter trench and flood it, but Detective Maeda and the two of them couldn't get there. So, they brought in excavators and water trucks one after another, and the two grown men took on the bitterly cold task of shampooing their entire bodies in the 1-degree temperature with a flurry of snow.
