Wao~n
From Wiki.theppn
わおーん！ (English: Wao~n!) is a weekly television music show hosted by Ongaku Gatas leader Yoshizawa Hitomi and comedian duo Total Tenboss. It airs every Wednesday at 24:29hrs, on Yomiuri TV.
It started airing on April 9, 2008. Due to it's "music show" format, a variety of guest artists featuring a wide range of musical genres are invited to the show; sometimes they are invited to the studio, while others are interviewed on location. The show is highly interactive, allowing for the artist to talk of the topic they wish to talk about; as it airs during the late night, it also allows for some "blunt" and "colorful" conversations.

Trivia
- The guests usually give a present to the show for the 頂き物 (itadakimono, or presents) corner of the set. This can be anything, ranging from signed promotional goods to personal effects to whatever they had on themselves at that moment: for example, Kimura Kaela felt bad about not having anything other than promotional goods to give to the show, so she also gave them a band-aid she had on her purse.
- During her interview with HOME MADE Kazoku, Yoshizawa requested that they mentioned "Waon" somewhere during a live performance they were preparing for. However, she got more than she bargained for, as they also ad-libbed "chou chou chou ii kanji" (a line out of Renai Revolution 21, Morning Musume's fourth-best selling single featuring a young Yoshizawa who would later become the leader of the group) during Itoshii Mic Check 1, 2.
