After advancing to the M-1 Grand Final, the landscape surrounding the two of them changed completely. They say that in just one month, their TV work load exceeded what they had accumulated over the previous 16 years.
Zero:Right now, I’m having fun and feel like I’m in the middle of taking on all kinds of challenges. It’s also kind of like, “Go for it!!!”
Yamaguchi:Of course.
Zero:Like, “Go for it!” You know, like, “The show I’ve been watching or my seniors are going to think this is funny!”
Yamaguchi:Of course.
Zero:I want to buy a lot of clothes, too.
Yamaguchi:I want to go shopping. I want to go to the pachinko parlor, too.
Zero:Anyway, I'm heading home for today—time to watch some pachinko videos on YouTube while having a drink.
Yamaguchi:Whoa!
On the Shinkansen ride home, they were, of course, sitting next to each other. With their orange bag stowed in the overhead rack and the dolphin figurine and mini bag resting on their laps, the two of them gazed out the window. No matter where they were headed next, Kaname Stone would continue to sit side by side, engaging in similar conversations as they moved forward together in harmony.

What's Inside Ms. Yamaguchi's Bag
The Alien figurines he’s been collecting lately are for use in case something happens on stage. He’s currently using the eye masks—merchandise based on the characters’ eyes—to check his appearance. And for Mr. Yamaguchi, who suffers from allergies, various medications are essential: hay fever pills, nasal spray, and ointments for itching, among others.
