I’m always surprised at how frequently I come across Iron Chef connections in the other Japanese media I enjoy. While I now actively search for BKS videos, a lot of my early contributions to Beyond Kitchen Stadium were found purely by accident while watching other Japanese shows. Today, I present a few new videos that were found when my other Japanese entertainment interests intersected with Iron Chef.<\/p>\n

I got this message not too long ago: “Just wondering if that guest judge on Chen bean sprout battle was the guy that Fujimoto Miki did the enka<\/a> song with. He looked familiar.” I looked up the episode in question and found that it was indeed the same singer.\u00a0Takao Horiuchi was a judge for three of our episodes. (Judge:\u00a0Milk-529OA<\/a>,\u00a0Spanish Mackerel-612<\/a>, Bean Sprout-717<\/a>). Below are six songs that judge Takao Horiuchi sang with members of Hello Project<\/a>. Most of these came from\u00a0the Japanese television show Uta Doki! Pop Classics<\/a>. (You know some of the girls from Hello! Project from Ryori no Tetsu-Kappa<\/a>, Ryori no Tetsu-Musume<\/a>, and these<\/a> two<\/a> BKS videos.)<\/p>\n
