>Now, more than a year has passed since we last saw Fuwa-chan, but her name has been heard on TV again. It was in a scene from "Human Research Institute: A Gathering of Cute Homo Sapi!!" (Nippon TV), which aired on September 3rd.
>The episode that aired on the 3rd featured regular cast members Robert Akiyama Ryuji and Ijuin Hikaru consulting with former TV Tokyo producer Sakuma Noriyuki about the show's lackluster performance.
>It's a variety show set in which animals study the mysterious behavior and habits of Homo sapiens (humans). Based on the concept, Akiyama will be dubbing for the Japanese macaque and Ijuin for the bulldog, so they will only be appearing as voice actors.
>Sakuma noticed this and suggested that people who had made mistakes or who normally wouldn't be able to appear on TV should be added to the cast as voice actors. Ijuin responded, "It's Fuwa-chan, Fuwa-chan. Let's invite Fuwa-chan. If Fuwa-chan appeared as an animal, it would definitely become a hot topic."
>The program staff responded with a caption saying, "Fuwa-chan, we're always waiting for you."
>As expected, there were many harsh comments:
>"It's obvious they're trying to create a flame war, but it might shorten the lifespan of the show."
>"I'm not here to enjoy the show itself, I'm here to see which performers have brought up Fuwa-chan in this flame war furor."
>"I don't need Fuwa-chan, stop it."
>Recently, her close friend Rino Sashihara and others have spoken out about Fuwa-chan , suggesting that she was making serious progress toward a comeback, but it appears that the road ahead is a difficult one.
