"Detective! Night Scoop" (ABC TV, Fridays at 11:17 PM) is a popular variety show where "detectives" tackle outlandish requests and worries submitted by viewers. On April 17th, Detective Hiroshi Tamura investigated the "strongest Twister player." Special Director Yokoyama Hiroshi, Assistant Director Ishida Yasushi, and Secretary Masuda Saori appeared on the show.
The request came from a 27-year-old man from Gifu Prefecture. He is skilled at Twister (a balance game using hands and feet). He has played against several people so far, but remains undefeated. Furthermore, he says he becomes unstoppable when he plays naked. "I don't think you'll find anyone anywhere who can beat me in this state," he says confidently.
The goal is to confirm that the man is the true "strongest man in naked Twister," and if there is anyone who seems stronger than him, he would like to challenge them to a match.
The client's house was already cluttered, making it difficult to even walk around. The struggle to navigate through it naked proved to be good practice for the Twister game. The three started the game fully clothed, with the client, Detective Tamura, and the assistant director (AD). However, the client was weak despite his aggressive play. So, they restarted the game, all in their underwear. This time, Tamura and the AD were eliminated one after another.
A formidable professional wrestler was recruited as an assassin, but the client was eliminated in the sixth round. The true "strongest man in the naked Twister game" will now be revealed!?

Following on from the previous week, Yokoyama Yu of the popular group "SUPER EIGHT" served as the special director. When Detective Ishida Yasushi, who was standing beside him, asked, "You seem relaxed, don't you?", Yokoyama replied, "I'm not relaxed at all! It's still just a pipe dream. I feel like I'm floating on air," showing that his excitement had not subsided.
However, the next thing he said was, "It's very moving." It turns out that he had worked on a show with Detective Ishida when he was a junior, and he said with a relieved expression, "Everyone in my group owes him a lot. He's like a father to me..."
