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

After that, they tried cucumbers with citric acid and refreshing candies, and the two exclaimed, "This is no good!" in a loud uproar. After scrutinizing numerous white powders, Kobayashi determined that number 4 was salt. As Yasumoto asked, "Is this the final salt?" raising the excitement, Kobayashi hit the mark with relief showing on his face.

At the end, Kobayashi inquired of the viewers about the identities of remaining numbers 6 and 9. A comment in the chat said, "Number 9 is cyanide," bringing the studio to laughter. Yasumoto quickly reassured, "It's a bright and fun set! It's not a terrible place! There's nothing like Conan happening! There's nothing that should not be ingested among them!" which further enlivened the atmosphere. Kobayashi then again chose number 9 as "salt," proudly declaring "Final Salt!" hitting the second right answer and ending with a flourish.

In the free talk after the segment, Yasumoto touched upon the 'cyanide' comment again, saying, "Don't ever say that! It's definitely not that! Stop saying things like that!" while also joking, "But I kinda thought, 'I see'!" Kobayashi followed with, "Because it's 'Say You To Yo Asobi,' it's allowed..." while Yasumoto replied, "You shouldn't allow it! Just chuckle about it in your heart!" showcasing a seamless back-and-forth that didn't seem like it was only their second broadcast together.

Besides, in the 'Charm Point Battle' where Yasumoto and Kobayashi used charm points listed in their profiles to compete, Yasumoto's calves caused an uproar of laughter in the studio!?
