Snow Man Members Host Second "Edogawa Club" Talk on a Boat
Listen to the story
Three members of the Japanese group Snow Man have made a second video for their talk series called the "Edogawa Club".
The members are Daisuke Sakuma, Shota Watanabe, and Ryota Miyadate. All three grew up in Edogawa, an area in Tokyo, so they named their show after it.
This time, the trio filmed their talk on a yakatabune, a traditional Japanese boat with a room inside where people can eat and chat while it moves along a river.
Actor Ryohei Suzuki joined the group for the boat conversation, adding a new guest to the series.
Actor Masaki Okada, who appeared in the first episode of the Edogawa Club, returned to take part in this second one as well.
According to the report, the conversation was unscripted, meaning the group did not follow written lines and simply talked naturally on camera.
New photos from the boat outing were also released alongside the video, showing the group enjoying their time together.
The Edogawa Club series appears to focus on relaxed, informal chats between the three members and guests, often connected to their shared hometown.
Fans of Snow Man have been following the series with interest, as it gives a more casual look at the group members outside of their usual performances.
No further details about the content of the conversation were given in the report.
