TV quiz show: Neru's answer helps win her team a million yen

On the Miracle 9 TV quiz show Wednesday evening, Neru's final answer helped win her nine-person team a prize of a million yen (~$10,000).

"Congratulations on winning a million yen"

In a three-hour special, the well-known quiz show Miracle 9 pitted two nine-person teams against each other. Neru's final answer, about English grammar, helped her team win the final round and the prize. What will she do with her winnings? "Go out and eat grilled meat."


It was an important victory for Keyakizaka46, elevating a member into the consciousness of a general TV audience: young, cute, modest, funny, and smart. She didn't get every answer right, but she came through when it counted.

It was a victory, too, for Kyushu. Neru was introduced as having reached the finals of the Nagasaki high-school quiz competition.

In the final round, all nine members had to answer questions correctly within a total of 60 seconds.
