The variety show "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (TV Tokyo, Tuesdays at 8:54 PM), hosted by talent Koji Imada, freelance announcer Akira Fukuzawa, and former Sakurazaka46 member Yuka Sugai, will feature a "famous painting bought for 10,000 yen at a second-hand shop" as its "treasure" on April 21st.
The client discovered this treasure four years ago when visiting their favorite second-hand shop. It was a painting by a leading master of Japanese Western-style painting, yet it was priced at "10,000 yen." The price was so low that they thought it must be a fake, but it was in such good condition that they wondered, "Could this possibly be the real thing?" and bought it.
Afterwards, he displayed it in his living room at home, but covered it with a black cloth because he didn't want it to fade in the sun. He said that if it was a fake, it would be pointless to go to such lengths, so he wanted to find out for sure whether it was genuine or not. The preview introduced it with the line, "Is it actually the real thing!?" It also shows Imada making a triumphant gesture and the audience applauding the result.
