Hiroki Yasumoto & Taku Yashiro's "Kotatsu" Night Play Delights Viewers with "Adorable Overload" and Exciting 'Mario Party' Showdown

On January 27th (Monday), from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM, "Seiyuu to Yoasobi Tsuki [Hiroki Yasumoto × Taku Yashiro] #32" was broadcast on ABEMA's "Anime LIVE Channel."

This time, due to the freezing "Daikan" season, the broadcast was from a "kotatsu." While sitting in the kotatsu, they played mini-games such as "Mikan Stacking Battle" and "Trash Can Shoot," as well as the popular party game 'Mario Party,' enjoying a relaxed "night play."

During the program, the two engaged in "Kotatsu Battle," playing mini-games while sitting in the kotatsu. The loser was subjected to a penalty game where they received a "dekopin" (a flick on the forehead) from their partner.

First up was the "Mikan Stacking Battle," since mikan is synonymous with kotatsu. They took turns stacking mikan, and the first to knock it over lost. Yasumoto was out by just the third mikan, leading to both bursting into laughter, exclaiming, "Too soon!"

During the penalty game time, Yashiro, initially nervous about flicking his senior Yasumoto, hesitated, saying, "What, I have to flick Yasumoto-san? Isn't this a penalty for me?" However, when Yasumoto obediently offered his forehead, Yashiro boldly flicked it, saying, "I'll do it properly!" Yasumoto responded with, "That actually hurts!" eliciting laughter.

Even more relaxed games ensued, such as "Trash Can Shoot," where they competed by shooting trash with assigned points into a trash can while sitting in the kotatsu, and the rhythm game "Pokapoka Kotatsu Battle," where they said onomatopoeia followed by a matching noun.

In "Trash Can Shoot," Yasumoto tried to interfere with Yashiro's shot, prompting Yashiro to exclaim, "Dad! Big brother is doing it!" In "Pokapoka Kotatsu Battle," Yashiro's natural side shone through with unique answers like "Pikapika Window" and "Panpan Pataji," leading Yasumoto to quip, "Should I call you Takuchan the Fool?" as they enjoyed the games like brothers.

Additionally, they played the popular party game 'Mario Party.' They tackled various rhythm games, exclaiming, "Playing in the kotatsu is great," "Surprisingly hard!" and "Dang it!" While deeply focused, Yasumoto even worried, "Is it okay for the show if I'm this focused?" They fully reverted to their childlike selves, enjoying the kotatsu games, with comments flooding in saying, "Adorable overload," "These brothers are cute," and "A peaceful Monday."

Other regular segments included "The Reverse in Kotatsu" and "Deep Words in Kotatsu," where they guessed the theme of rankings based on their results in "The Reverse," and whispered "deep" words submitted by viewers into a dummy head microphone in "Deep Words." For "Deep Words in Kotatsu," they whispered into the dummy head inside the kotatsu, marking a first-ever (perhaps!?) kotatsu dummy head presentation, which livened up the show.
