Miyu Irino Hosts a Special Birthday Celebration for Hiro Shimono with Indulgent Pampering! Shimono, Fed Cake by Irino, Wonders, "What Kind of Play Is This..."

Irino's First Live Dummy Head Microphone Prank and Surprise Letter Wows Viewers: "Is This the Final Episode?" "It's on a Grand Scale lol"

Irino's antics didn't stop there; he read out compliments for Shimono, gathered via social media, using a dummy head microphone live for the first time. For 45 seconds, he read praises like "Shimono-san is a joy to be around, like the sun, and his love for fried chicken is adorable." Shimono applauded Irino's adeptness, saying, "As expected."

Irino then read a letter to Shimono, but something was amiss. The letter stated, "Happy Birthday, Shimono-san. Today feels like a day the Earth revolves for you. To me, you are a voice actor envoy from the cosmos with superpowers. I will strive to enjoy cosmic times with you." Both the studio and ABEMA's comment section erupted with laughter, responding with remarks like "Final episode? lol" and "It's on a grand scale lol" "Conquering the universe, huh lol" "What's going on lol."

Shimono quipped, "It's only the second episode... (laughs) What mission are we on?!" Finally, Irino revealed, "This was a text generated by AI!" before presenting Shimono with a heartfelt letter and gift he personally prepared.

The episode also featured indulgent games like an unbeatable "Favorable Mario Kart Battle," "Gotsuan Domino," where Shimono only had to place the last domino, and a "Which is Better?" survey with options like "Is Hiro Shimono cool or cute?" to pamper Shimono. Irino ensured Shimono was thoroughly pampered on his birthday.

After receiving top-tier birthday treatment, Shimono stated, "Thank you for indulging me so much this time. I've learned birthdays are meant to be celebrated like this. I'm looking forward to February!" hinting at a potential birthday surprise for Irino. This indulgent birthday special trended following the previous week's premiere episode, garnering significant attention.
