TV Tokyo's long-running program "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (Tuesdays at 8:54 PM) will air a joint special with "Ariehen ∞ Sekai" (Tuesdays at 7:54 PM) on March 17th, featuring Shingo Murakami of "SUPER EIGHT," a regular cast member of "Ariehen ∞ Sekai," as a guest client.
This is Murakami's second appearance on "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (Good Fortune! Anything Appraisal Team), the first being about 10 years ago. This time, he brought three pairs of vintage jeans from the globally popular brand "Levi's".
Two of the pairs are deadstock, which he bought for under 100,000 yen each at a jeans shop in Ebisu when he moved to Tokyo more than 20 years ago. The shop no longer exists, and he suspects he was sold fakes. The other pair was acquired at a bargain price from a shop in Osaka around the same time.
However, it turns out that Murakami had bought the jeans but "left them in the back of the storage room and completely forgotten about them," revealing a truly unbelievable turn of events. Hoping to believe they are genuine, he confidently values them at 1 million yen. What will the appraiser's verdict be?
The promotional video shows Murakami looking astonished, accompanied by the caption, "The studio is in an uproar over the surprising appraisal results!"
