Japanese supermarkets have begun stocking a cheap, mysterious chicken product that many shoppers say they are too wary to buy. A Japanese TV segment on the topic featured comedian Hakata Daiki, who tried a taste sample and praised the product highly. Coverage is drawing attention to consumer hesitation over new, inexpensive meat alternatives appearing on store shelves.

Japanese comedian Hakata Daiki has publicly exposed stories about a music television program that Tokio member Matsuoka Masahiro once described as 'hell', reportedly commenting that going out drinking together during production would have been unthinkable. The remarks, picked up by entertainment news outlet Sirabee, have sparked chatter among Japanese TV fans about backstage conditions on music programs.
