She praised their growth, noting how their "eyes and aura are completely different from before," making it impossible for her to look away. The members of VERA, when asked about the toughest moments during their promotional periods, humorously turned to wipe away tears, creating a memorable moment for the audience.

CRYXTAL, appearing as the show's first all-girl group guest, energized the atmosphere with their youthful vitality. Their natural and heartwarming interactions melted Aisa Senda's heart, who debuted as part of a girl group herself. Member Cai Cai, surprisingly voted as having the most "tough guy charm" within the group, impressed with her deep voice promoting their new song, 'Heart Attack,' showcasing a captivating contrast.

I really wanted to cry!

VERA, uninhibited by idol pressures, engaged in playful antics to win games, including a "Crayon Shin-chan butt-walk." Member Xue Wen, known for his social media skits, lived up to his "drama king" reputation by improvising an eight o'clock slot drama scene. Cai Zhen added a dramatic flair with a slap scene, turning the improvised plot from an accusation of infidelity to a reconciliation, complete with Taiwanese dialogue, eliciting continuous laughter from the studio.

That high note just now was higher than when singing!

However, once the music started, the fans transformed into professionals, executing precise dance moves and flawless expressions, earning praise from VERA's Meng Wei, who declared them "too strong!" As CRYXTAL marked their second anniversary, they expressed their desire for a solo concert, while VERA confidently pledged to return to the show every week.

It's too strong!
