Aiba Hiromi TV variety specials

In late July 2026, TV Asahi aired a two‑hour special of the variety programme “Aiba Hiromi no Komarimashou?” that sent hosts Aiba Hiroki (Masaki Aiba) and Hiromi Aiba to the waters of Miura City, Kanagawa, to tackle abandoned fishing gear, known as “ghost gear.” The episode highlighted the difficulty of underwater cleanup, with Hiromi diving to assess a massive fish‑cage and both hosts manually removing debris before hauling the cage ashore for high‑pressure washing.

A few weeks later, on 6 August 2026, the show returned for another two‑hour special, this time in Gunma Prefecture. The hosts revisited three previously solved local projects—restoring a historic garden, refurbishing a large aquarium tank at a restaurant, and supporting a dairy‑farm marriage—while also taking on new tasks such as building a safety fence on a cliff, performing a “sky‑diving” style cleaning of the aquarium tank, and cleaning a fan in a cow shed to alleviate heat stress for livestock. The series continues to combine community problem‑solving with entertainment, expanding its focus from marine pollution to a broader range of local issues across Japan.
