1. What was the final match of Gochi 26? | An unusual development: firings were announced live on air

 

The four-hour special of Guruguru Ninety-Nine, which aired on December 25, 2025, featured the final round of "Gochi ni Narimasu! 26," with the results announced live, as in previous years.

The final round of Gochi is an annual event held at the end of the year, but this year the strict conditions that "a maximum of three people can be fired" were revealed in advance, and viewers were extremely interested in the show even before it aired.

 

There was a sense of tension in the studio, and the atmosphere of the show as a whole conveyed that each of the performers approached the recording with the resolve that "this might be the last time." This final show left a strong impression of being not just a variety show, but a "breaking point" as a culmination of the year.

 

 

 

 

2. How the Big Settlement Rules Work | 1st Place = The Tension of Resetting Your Own Money

 

The "Big Settlement Rule" was applied to the final race. The biggest feature of this rule is that if a player takes first place in the final race, all of the money they have spent up to that point will be reset, and they will remain in the team unconditionally.

In other words, even if a member had paid a lot out of their own pocket throughout the year and was close to being fired, they could turn things around in one fell swoop if they could come in first in the final round. On the other hand, if they missed out on first place, the amount of money they had spent out of their own pocket up to that point would still weigh heavily on them.

This "all or nothing" rule made the final battle extremely tense.

 

 

 

 

3. Three people who were on the verge of being fired: Fuka Koshiba, Fumiya Takahashi, and Mai Shiraishi

The following three people were in a particularly difficult position just before the final match.

 

member	Pre-final standings	Total amount paid out of pocket
Fuka Koshiba	7th place (last place)	Approximately 960,000 yen
Fumiya Takahashi	6th place	Approximately 840,000 yen
Mai Shiraishi	5th place	Approximately 660,000 yen

 

All three of them were in the lower ranks, and in order to avoid being fired, they had to come in first in the final round. Each of them spoke of their strong determination during the broadcast, and their expressions and comments conveyed their desperate feelings of "we absolutely cannot lose."

 

 

 

 

4. The setting and set amount for the final round of Gochi | A high-value battle with over 360,000 yen of one's own money

 

The final match took place at Cuisine Est, a restaurant in the Hotel Metropolitan in Ikebukuro, a high-end restaurant that combines French cuisine with Italian elements.

 

The set amount was 40,000 yen per person. With nine participants, a simple calculation shows that the total amount was around 360,000 yen, making it an extremely expensive battle. Furthermore, this time, additional costs such as souvenirs and champagne were also involved, meaning the amount of money spent out of pocket ballooned beyond imagination. In terms of both money and mentality, it was a truly challenging battle worthy of the final round.

 

 

 

 

5. [Breaking Results] Gochi 26: Who's fired? The outcome revealed on live broadcast

After the results were announced live, it was revealed that three people would be fired this year.
And in the midst of this, it was confirmed that Koshiba Fuka would be fired.

 

Koshiba finished in 4th place in the final match, and when it became impossible to make a grand settlement based on the first place finish, she was fired. The number of people to be fired was decided by roulette, and as the result was the maximum number, it was a bitter ending that will go down in the history of the show.

 

 

 

 

6. Fuka Koshiba: The moment her firing was confirmed | Full summary of her tearful speech

Immediately after her dismissal was confirmed, Fuka Koshiba gave a speech with tears in her eyes in the live studio broadcast.
While expressing concern for those around him, saying, "I'm sorry that the number of people has increased because of the roulette," he also expressed his gratitude to his co-stars and staff, saying, "This program was like a reward for me," and "These three years have been like a treasure."

 

He spoke frankly about how he felt uncomfortable appearing on variety shows, but that he still gained a lot of experience through Gochi, and it was an impressive scene that moved the entire studio.

 

 

 

 

7. Gochi 26 Annual Results List | Total Amount Paid by Participant Ranking

The final results for the year are as follows:

 

Ranking	member	Total amount paid out of pocket
1st place	Takahisa Masuda	Approximately 270,000 yen
2nd place	Seiya	Approximately 330,000 yen
3rd place	Takashi Okamura	Approximately 360,000 yen
4th place	Hiroyuki Yabe	Approximately 460,000 yen

6th place	Fumiya Takahashi	Approximately 840,000 yen
7th place	Fuka Koshiba	Approximately 960,000 yen

 

Looking at the numbers, it's clear just how difficult the build-up to the final race was.
