J-pop Karuta sounds fun. I happened to watch some episodes of the anime Chihayafuru last weekend. One of the main characters in the anime would practice karuta with old cassette tapes. until then, I didn't realize it could be played without a live caller.

Two stories in Entame Next about her fascination with food. "Until NMB48 Yuina Deguchi becomes a "Gourmet Influencer in the Idol World" "The Turning Point was Akari Yoshida's Word" "NMB48's "Gourmet Banchou" Yuina Deguchi tells us 3 Osaka gourmet dishes that you definitely want to visit during Golden Week" NMB48's 6th generation member Yuina Deguchi is gaining more and more attention. Gourmet is her weapon. After introducing Kansai gourmet on Instagram and TikTok, the number of followers increased rapidly. Broadcast in Kansai "Saturday is useless! (Yomiuri TV). She asked the hot "Reiwa Gourmet Idol" about her journey so far. ──Were you interested in eating from an early age? Deguchi: No, without that. I loved sweets, but I didn't like food. I have a lot of likes and dislikes. When I was in nursery school, I was the only one left to eat while everyone was sleeping at nap time. I stuffed my cheeks with food like a squirrel, and the teacher scolded me, saying, "There's still food in there, so I won't eat it!" But when I started helping with cooking after entering elementary school, I realized how difficult cooking can be. After that, I started tasting and eating it, and I realized how delicious it was. After I started doing rhythmic gymnastics in the 3rd grade of elementary school, I started to manage my body shape, and there was a time when I didn't eat rice, but when I joined NMB48 in my second year of high school, and after my body stabilized, I started eating a lot. (laughs) If you feel stressed by not eating, you will actually get sick. ──Now you are attracting attention as a gourmet idol, but did you aim to become a gourmet character from the beginning? Deguchi: It was when I was promoted from a research student to a regular member that I realized that this position was vacant. In order to compete in the same field as seniors, I thought that I couldn't fight without something like "Yuina Deguchi = XX". At that time, when I was thinking about what I could do, the members kept telling me, "You look really delicious when you eat, don't you?" Then, I thought that I could compete with food, so I decided to shoot a video of myself eating.
