Fans Rejoice as Snow Man's Shota Watanabe and Raul Team Up for Tonight's 'Su no Mamma' Radio Show

Nippon Cultural Broadcasting's popular radio program Snow Man no Su no Mamma (Snow Man's Real Selves), which brings comfort and entertainment to many fans every Thursday night, has announced that Shota Watanabe and Raul—affectionately known by fans as “NabeRaul”—will host the broadcast on July 16, 2026. This announcement has already sparked massive excitement across social media.

Tonight's episode features the duo of Shota Watanabe and Raul, a pair beloved for their perfectly synchronized banter. Fans have flooded social media with enthusiastic messages like, “I'm so excited!”, “Knowing these two are hosting got me through my workday today,” and “Maybe we'll get some of their trademark sharp-tongued comments?”

Additionally, with Raul making frequent media appearances and releasing content recently (such as YouTube videos and music show appearances), fans are calling this a special week, sharing comments like, “I'm so happy to get so much Raul content lately!”

For tonight's broadcast, program staff and writers have announced that the start time might be delayed due to a live baseball broadcast scheduled beforehand. Fans are unfazed, commenting, “I'll be waiting, even if the baseball game runs long,” and “I'm fully prepared to tune in live!” showing their determination to catch the show in real-time regardless of the schedule shift.

Last week's broadcast on July 9 featured the “SakuKoji” duo of Koji Mukai and Daisuke Sakuma, who delighted listeners with hilarious stories about childhood extracurriculars, swimming memories, nail art, and adhesive bandages. Expectations are high for tonight's episode to deliver more exclusive “raw talk,” including behind-the-scenes stories from their current projects and personal lives.

The broadcast is scheduled to start tonight at 9:00 PM (subject to change depending on the baseball game). Fans are expected to liven up social media once again by live-tweeting with the hashtag #素のまんま (#SuNoMamma).
