Reviving the Excitement: The Return of 'Denpa Laboratory'!

On May 2, 2025, the highly anticipated show, 'Denpa Laboratory', made its comeback on Nico Nico Live, bringing joy to fans after a seven-year hiatus. Hosted by the charismatic May'n and Ken Wakashiro, the program is known for sharing the latest in anime, music, and gaming. The comment section was buzzing with excitement from fans eager for the return, with messages like "I’ve waited so long!" and "Hooray for the comeback!"

As the show kicked off, May'n's enthusiastic shout set the tone: "Wowwwww!!" Ken humorously suggested that even the sound crew might have been caught off guard, as their plan was to begin with a simple greeting. This playful banter reflected the lively atmosphere, making it hard to believe it had been seven years since the last broadcast.

The show is structured into two parts, and in the first segment, guest singer KOTOKO made a special appearance, marking her return after more than a decade. Their camaraderie was evident, as May’n and KOTOKO shared personal stories, revealing the closeness of their friendship. In a quickfire Q&A, KOTOKO expressed her gratitude towards her fans, describing them as her treasures and sharing heartwarming anecdotes that highlighted her bond with her audience.

The game portion of the show featured a drawing game called 'Illustration Laboratory!'. Facing the challenge of drawing prompts within a tight time limit, KOTOKO’s artistic prowess shone as she drew a figure inspired by the historical figure Murasaki Shikibu, impressing everyone when May’n successfully guessed it. However, May’n struggled with her drawing of the 'Little Match Girl', leading to amusing confusions and engendering laughter from the audience. The comment section was buzzing with remarks about the hilarious misinterpretations, giving a lively edge to the show.

The second half saw voice actress Erii Yamazaki stepping in as the guest. With her sixth appearance on the show, Yamazaki discussed her passion for tea, revealing her detailed approach to tea reviews in a way that fascinated the audience. This quirky segment showcased the playful and relaxed vibe that 'Denpa Laboratory' is celebrated for.

In the same segment, a quick Q&A allowed Yamazaki to share her dreams, declaring her desire to eat 'Wanko Soba', igniting cheers from her co-hosts. The show then transitioned into more interactive games, including a questionnaire game inviting audience participation, which fueled even more excitement and engaging moments.

The comic highlight of the show arrived when Yamazaki playfully acted out romantic proposals, drawing enthusiastic reactions. With fans virtually clamoring for more, May’n exhilaratingly requested a repeat of one segment, demonstrating the bond between the hosts and their audience through shared laughter and enthusiasm.

Post-show, a special 'animelo+' broadcast offered exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, with moments reflecting the genuine joy and memorable experiences of the revival. As the hosts reflected on their unexpected journey back to the screen, it became clear that 'Denpa Laboratory' is not just a show but a beloved tradition, marked by its engaging and heartfelt connections.

Mark your calendars! The next episode of 'Denpa Laboratory' is scheduled for June 5, 2025, featuring idol unit members from 'i☆Ris.' With the show's outstanding return, viewers can expect yet another night of fun and exciting entertainment to connect with fellow fans!
