Shotaro Morikubo, Nobuhiko Okamoto, and Masaya Fukunishi Are the New Saturday MCs for "Say You To Yo Asobi"! Morikubo Recommends Fukunishi, Declaring "This Talent Should Be Unleashed to the World"

■What Masaya Fukunishi Wants to Do: A Fashion Show for Morikubo and Okamoto!? The Secret Behind His MC Appointment

During the broadcast, a segment titled "If It Doesn't Exist, Let's Create It! Let's Build a Studio Set!" was conducted. With the Saturday studio being a blank slate, the three engaged in a talk while attempting to DIY chairs and tables.

Known for his love of DIY, Morikubo took on the role of a craftsman with full enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Okamoto and Fukunishi, who have no DIY experience, wore nervous expressions. Despite their panic and lack of knowledge, they enjoyed their first DIY with guidance from "foreman" Morikubo.

During the work, the story behind Fukunishi's appointment as an MC was revealed as well. Fukunishi said he heard that Morikubo recommended him and asked about the reason. Morikubo responded, "At anime events, he's serious and carries the work, but off-camera, Masaya Fukunishi is incredibly funny!" He added, "I thought this talent should be unleashed to the world, so I mentioned his name, hoping everyone would realize!"

Additionally, when discussing "projects they want to do," Fukunishi proposed, "There's one thing I absolutely want to do! I want to conduct a full-scale fashion show under my production!"—a plan befitting fashion-loving Fukunishi.

Regarding Morikubo's image for the fashion show, Fukunishi said he wanted to shift Morikubo's usual rock image to a more feminine one by adding cute blush or even false eyelashes. Okamoto enthusiastically agreed, saying, "That sounds like it would suit him!" To their excitement, Morikubo muttered, "I've stumbled into a ridiculous day..." to which Fukunishi replied, "You can't escape for a year now!" drawing more laughter from the studio.

Concerning Okamoto's fashion production, Fukunishi mentioned, "Okamoto-san is honestly used to being 'cute,' so I'd like to try a cool style instead, perhaps with smoky black eye shadow—I'd like him to take on more artistic appearances." Okamoto was thrilled, replying, "I want to do it! I also want to be like L from 'DEATH NOTE'!"

Debuting as a team, although their first encounter, the trio showed exquisite harmony from the start. Where will their "Yo Asobi" take them next?
