Overview of the Variety Show 'Arumama Aru ga Mama'

Starting March 3, 2026, AJINOMOTO AGF will launch an original variety show titled 'Arumama Aru ga Mama', featuring the comedic trio Morisanchu, specifically Tomoko Murakami and Miyuki Oshima. This web series will be available on the official AJINOMOTO AGF YouTube channel and also on Spotify video podcasts. Spanning a total of four episodes, the show will undergo casual discussions on the realities of motherhood, touching on challenges related to work, household duties, and child-rearing.

In daily life, mothers often feel pressures such as, "Does dinner have to be homemade?" or "Am I doing enough?" This show aims to unravel the stress and confusion that come with these expectations by providing a venue for mothers to share their authentic thoughts. The title of the show artistically plays on the words 'aru ga mama' (as it is) and 'mama' (mother), conveying the message that every mother has her own unique style, and there isn't a single correct method to motherhood.

The Hosts: Real Moms Sharing Their Stories

The stars of the show, Chikako Murakami and Miyuki Oshima, are both actively raising children, making them relatable figures as 'real moms'. Their discussions cover relatable themes such as:

• - “When tidying up the house, I realize what I’m missing and end up ordering online.”
• - “I enjoy secretly indulging in sweets I bought after my kids go to bed or while cooking.”

These candid conversations resonate with many viewers, making them feel seen and understood.

Throughout the show, both hosts will share moments of relaxation, such as taking a pause to enjoy their favorite flavors from the Blendy® Stick range. Simple actions like pouring hot water and enjoying a sip can foster moments of tranquility in busy lives. Audiences can look forward to a warm and engaging viewing experience with the four episodes of 'Arumama Aru ga Mama,' where every mom's experience is valid and personal.
