Kensho Ono & Natsuki Hanae Take on Thursday MC Roles in 'Say You To Yo Asobi'! The Best Duo in the Voice Acting World Faces a Baptism of Fire, "Graduating Already Today!?"

Kensho Ono Faces the Yo Asobi Baptism Right from the Start and is Left Flustered!?

In this broadcast, the "Kensho Ono Yo Asobi Aptitude Test" was conducted. Ono faced several challenges, and Hanae determined whether he was suited to be a Yo Asobi MC. Hanae jokingly warned, "If you fail, you graduate today," to which Ono, perplexed, responded, "Is it over today!?"

In the first challenge, the "Reaction Test," Ono had to react appropriately to typical Yo Asobi items. The test included items like the "Electric Stapler," "Extra Sour Juice," and "Electric Chair," which are usually used as punishment items, leaving Ono stunned and exclaiming, "What!?" and "This is really scary!"

Ono first tackled the "Electric Stapler" and "Extra Sour Juice," where he writhed in agony to the point of collapsing. However, Hanae, with a smile, deemed him unsuccessful, prompting Ono to retort, "Don't be ridiculous!" Finally, in the "Electric Chair" test, Ono's jump was so impressive that Hanae burst into laughter and gave him a pass, praising his reaction, "Great! You really flew—amazing hang time!"

Additionally, in the "Unexpected Challenge Test," which assessed whether Ono could handle requests without a clear goal, he dressed as a cat for a photo session with cameraman Hanae, dubbed the "Kensho Nyan-sho Photoshoot." In the "Guest Talk Test," which evaluated his ability to converse with guests from different industries, he faced off against AI-chan, who had previously challenged numerous voice actors.

In a conversation with AI-chan, who posed as a fortune teller, Ono was flustered by AI-chan's random remarks like "I can see everything by looking at your thumb nail" and "You're a rapper, right?" The studio erupted in laughter as Ono humorously remarked, "I'm exhausted..." and "I was baptized too much!"

Moreover, the program featured a "Kensho Ono User Manual," created by Hanae, who boasted about knowing Ono inside out. The 90-minute show flew by with hilarious talks, leaving viewers commenting, "Too funny, lol," "They're really close, lol," and "It was a legendary episode." The hashtag "#小野花江と夜あそび"(#OnoHanaetoYoAsobi) trended on X, closing the first broadcast on a high note.
