The second installment of the MBS\/TBS network special \u201cLove, Knowledge, NON, and Nobu\u201d will air on Thursday, August 27, from 8:54 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
The show is hosted by NON and Nobu from Chidori. It\u2019s a fresh take on an information variety show where \u201cTrue Fans\u201d\u2014people who are absolutely passionate about a certain theme\u2014talk at length about its appeal with their own unique enthusiasm, while \u201cKnowledge Experts\u201d\u2014who add intellectual trivia\u2014help bring it all to life.<\/p>\n
The theme of the second installment is \u201ctuna,\u201d which has been attracting a lot of attention this year thanks to a record-breaking catch.<\/p>\n
The theme of the second installment is \u201ctuna,\u201d which has been attracting a lot of attention this year thanks to a record-breaking catch.<\/p>\n
A group of self-proclaimed \u201ctuna enthusiasts\u201d\u2014Masahiro Takashima, Souya Igari (KEY TO LIT), Emiko Kawamura (Tanpopo), Eiko Kano, and Hikomaro\u2014have come together to share the \u201cmust-try cuts\u201d you can\u2019t afford to miss and the best ways to enjoy them.<\/p>\n
On the \u201cKnowledge\u201d team, Fuminori Ujihara (Rozan), Noeru Kawashima (Travis Japan), and culinary expert Miki Fujiwara\u2014known as \u201cMiki Mama\u201d\u2014made appearances.
\nAn authentic \u201ctuna dissection booth\u201d was set up in the studio for a spectacular live dissection of bluefin tuna from Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture! From introducing \u201cHachitoro\u201d (brain cap)\u2014a rare cut that accounts for just 0.5% of a whole fish\u2014to NON\u2019s challenge of searing \u201cKamatoro\u201d (jaw meat), which is even fattier than \u201cOotoro,\u201d with a gas burner, and indulging in \u201cTenmi\u201d (top loin), the pinnacle of lean tuna, the show explores every facet of tuna\u2019s profound appeal.<\/p>\n
The show is also packed with simple recipes you can try at home and information on top-notch restaurants handpicked by Gachi Ai. Be sure to enjoy this satisfying experience\u2014both for your stomach and your soul\u2014as NON\u2019s reactions blend with Nobu\u2019s sharp, witty commentary.<\/p>\n
Comments from NON and Nobu have also arrived.<\/p>\n

Since this episode centered entirely on the theme of tuna, I learned a lot about it. It was the first time in my life I\u2019d eaten so much tuna. This show is one that keeps giving me new \u201cfirsts.\u201d And because we had so many \u201cdie-hard love fans\u201d join us, I was able to see a wide variety of love all at once. Some love is gentle, while other love is strong and over-the-top. Thanks to \u201cKnowledge-san,\u201d the conversation moved along without us getting too carried away by the love, which was reassuring. I was surprised to casually hear Nobu from the comedy duo Chidori say his famous line, \u201ctwo pieces of squid,\u201d right in front of me. It feels like it\u2019ll bring good luck! Be sure to check it out when it airs. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s another prime-time show that focuses on \u201ca whole tuna.\u201d We really dug deep into that topic, and I don\u2019t want you to miss the fascinating trivia that even the \u201cKnowledge Guy\u201d found impressive. Also, while we got to eat tons of tuna, Ujihara-san\u2014who\u2019s in charge of spouting all the trivia\u2014didn\u2019t take a single bite. Please enjoy watching Ujihara-san\u2019s face as he gets angrier and angrier. It was the first time I realized that sometimes, the more you learn, the more you lose out.

\n<\/strong>I was amazed to hear that a second season had been greenlit in such a short time\u2014and that it would air during prime time! Since the first season was such a peaceful, love-filled show set in a serene atmosphere, I was really looking forward to the recording, hoping the second season would also be a peaceful and enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I was also happy to record a second episode with NON-chan, and it was fun to be immersed in her deep love and knowledge once again.
\nIt\u2019s like NON-chan has really gotten the hang of variety shows\u2014she has such great balance between when to explain things and when to goof around. She was speaking in a louder, more comedian-like voice than she did the first time. And, as always, her eyes were sparkling. After all, the whole point of this show is to make NON-chan\u2019s eyes sparkle, so I\u2019m glad it worked out so well this time, too.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dmcoup0s63tbi.cloudfront.net\/control-panel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/24173808\/%E7%95%AA%E7%B5%84%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B4.png\")
