2025 Season New MC Chiaki Kobayashi, Immediately Baptized as 'Yo Asobi' MC in the 'Salt Tasting Challenge'!? Yasumoto Also Dragged Along in Agony

On ABEMA, 'Say You To Yo Asobi Monday' #2 aired on Monday, April 22, 2025, at 10:00 PM. In this broadcast, to get to know the new MC for the 2025 season, Chiaki Kobayashi, better, the show began with the segment "How Much Can You Do? Chiaki Kobayashi!" Kobayashi, who had expressed a desire to make ramen with Yasumoto and cook, had his culinary common sense put to the test.

Furthermore, Kobayashi took on the 'Tasty Salt Challenge!' where he had to find the two hidden 'salts' from among ten types of white powders lined up in the studio.

Kobayashi promptly wandered around the studio where white powders were displayed, selecting the powder labeled as number 10 because it "looked most like salt" and tried it with a cucumber. "Wait... hold on..." he murmured in confusion, prompting Yasumoto to quip, "Is it possible you can't tell, Mr. Kobayashi?" Even though Kobayashi predicted, "This is probably ramune," the truth was it was sports drink powder. Kobayashi commented, "No matter how many times I lick it, it's not sweet, it actually goes well," while also making Yasumoto try it. Begrudgingly, Yasumoto said, "It's not salt! It's sweet! It dissolves well with the cucumber's moisture and then sports drink flavor emerges..." expressing his agony.
